He was born 77 years ago. SO happy to see young people still listening.

As spectacular as Hendrix was, I think he's even more impressive for getting that sound in a band with just 3 people. The essence of a "power trio."

I'm 70 and was around when Hendrix first hit the music scene. I fell down on my couch the first time I ever heard him and just like y'all, I went crazy. I thought there is no way to create this quality of music. Then I saw a video of him playing with his teeth, behind his back, etc and knew I had died and gone to heaven! 🎸🎸🎸

Singing, playing guitar, chewing gum, AND tripping his face off, all at the same time. He is a legend.

I was fortunate enough to see JIMI HENDRIX in concert in 1969 in BERLIN, GERMANY, one of several highlights of my life..!

Y’all gotta understand, no one was playing guitar like this back then, and definitely not with that much style. He came up with the distortion sound, the wah-wag pedal. He was the one to make that popular. He was the Jordan of guitar playing, the Tiger Woods or Serena and Venus Williams sisters. He came at it ferociously and with style. This was 1967, look at the hits at that time, they didn’t sound like this.

There were NO special effects back then, no camera stops, no CGI, this is really him, a master, and your witnessing his mastery.... Thank God there was recording equipment, otherwise, youd never believe it.

Hendrix is the best guitar player in history. No one compares. Still to this day.

Neil Young said that Jimi was from another planet as far as guitar players were concerned. And Neil is a damn good guitar player.

I love to see you young brothers reacting to Jimi for the first time. I had the same reaction 53 years ago. I saw him live 3 times, and I will never forget. By the way, he was playing with his teeth!

He's playing with his teeth when he puts it up to his face. He was amazing. An icon

The magic is how how Jimmy tuned that guitar- He wasn’t good, he was MYSTICAL. Plus his STYLE. and fashion -- Hendrix was the OG🔥

My 70 year old husband, a great guitarist himself, saw Hendrix play in an Arizona bowling alley before anyone had heard of him. Met him offstage and said he was incredibly nice to him and his little group of star struck teenagers. Husband still worships Hendrix as the greatest guitar god ever.

When Hendrix went to London England to start his career, the first thing he did was to go round all the clubs to see the best of the best the London scene had at the time. But he was aware of everybody, bought their records, knew what they were bringing to the table. One band he REALLY wanted to see was Cream with hot shot guitarist Eric Clapton (Yup, THAT Eric Clapton) So his managed had arranged for Hendrix not only to be there at a performance of the band but also that he could stay after hours and jam with the band. When Hendrix took the stage he launched into the song "Killing floor" by Albert King, a song Cream always wanted to do but found it "Too difficult." After retrieving his lower jaw from the floor, Clapton watched for a few more minutes before taking his guitar off and walking away. When Hendrix' manager caught up with him, Clapton was all antsy, going "You told me he was good, you didn't tell me he was THIS fucking good!" After Hendrix died, Clapton adopted the Fender Stratocaster as his main guitar, in direct tribute to Jimi.

You wanna know where Prince got his inspiration, it wasn't Michael Jackson, it was THIS guy!

He used to stick tabs of LSD in his headband so that he'd get more and more stoned as he sweat, and didn't need to take a break to keep his high going. He's not just playing with his teeth, he's probably in some other dimension while playing this.

He was not fake. That was all in the days before auto-tune. He was a guitar genius.

Eric Clapton refused to go on stage to play once in England after they let Jimi play. He knew he couldn't top what had just happened. He was playing with his TEETH. None of this was fake. It's from a live concert 😂🤣😂🤣

I'm old now, but I'm so glad I was around with Jimi and all the greats from the 60s. There will never be music like that again...

I totally understand why some have the fake discussion, let's face it the world is still blown away from Jimi and his unbelievable talents.

Jimi Hendrix was one of those 'matter of fact' cats. As a kid in the 60s I aspired to play guitar like 'him'. Took me 40 years to kind'a figure it out. Hendrix was an Army vet, served with the 101 Airborne. Named my second son Jimi.

Let’s not forget he played a right-handed guitar left-handed and upside down

I’m an old white guy and your reaction to the songs of my youth warm my heart. Keep. Listening.

Twin: "Can you really do that?" Twin: "He can."

When we were kids, and this was new, this music was like the sun breaking through the clouds - it wasn't just a "song" it was an experience - a new way to look at the world - Jimi Hendrix broke all the rules and gave us such a gift - so glad I was there

glad you guys found Hendrix, and judging by your reaction, you're probably feeling pretty cheated by some of artists you thought were legit

SMILES TO THE FACE SEEING the young brothers appreciating Jimi Hendrix talent 👍🏿

You should listen to his version of the "Star Spangled Banner" if you haven't already. When the lyrics talk about the bombs bursting in the air, he makes the guitar sound like bombs bursting. He was amazing.

nearly 50 years after his death, Jimi is still the epitome of cool

Is it me or are the twins the best thing that has happened to you this week? You've made me re-awaken my own joy and discovery for the classics. Thank you Twins!!!

Hendrix was my first concert - was promoted as the "Wall of Sound" - in Baltimore, Maryland , 1969 - I was a 17 years old white boy. Back in the day there were no computers generating music. It was all foot pedals, huge, raw amps and speakers switching stereo back and forth across the stage - incredible to experience. Every move he made on his left-hand guitar he manually performed. He was musically gifted - a true genius. He practiced every waking moment. He played behind the back and to his face (notice his fingers are playing notes on the frets when he puts it to his face. The licking and teeth were affected). My ears were bleeding after the concert and I was in the nose-bleed section in the Civic Center. I believe Hendrix was from another planet, I am here to tell you as a witness. We will never see another of his kind. 50+ years later the music still sounds current/futuristic. You have no idea. I was privileged to hear his genius and will remember him until I pass... there is no one to compare to his talent today...

What really got missed was Noel, the drummer dropped: threw, actually: a drum-stick and Jimi picked it up, AND gave it BACK, and never lost the groove!!

I was fortunate enough to see Hendrix before he died. His encore was the “Star Spangled Banner’ followed by ‘Purple Haze’. Mind blown!

Jimi Hendrix was one of a kind. RIP Jimi

The incredible Jimi. There will never be another one like him. I love the song, "Rainy Day" and "Manic Depression."

Unfortunately, we lost Jimi (just as we lost Janis Joplin) at the tender age of 27. May they both rest in peace. They left us something wonderful.

"Can you really do that??" "HE can." Heh... yep. Legends aren't legends for nothing!

"Is this fake?" Nope. This is why Jimi is a legend to this very day.

Jimi Was so much more than just a fancy guitar player, his music was full and complete and wholesome, his messages and what he taught to generations is almost unrivaled, especially with guitar. A true one of a kind,and humble person

The best guitarist ever!! He is not fake. Died way to young.

There is a reason why 50 yrs after Jimi' death we still mourn him.

Jimi Hendrix was one of the 27 years club : Robert Johnson, Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse - all died at 27.

I'm Irish and worked in London as a waitress over 20 years ago where they had a great old-fashioned jukebox that only the staff could play by tokens they were given. Mine were eventually taken away because the only song I liked on it was 'Hey Joe' ..

I see now who Prince styled himself after...The GREAT Genius - Hendrix.

Jimi was no ordinary man. He was a guitar and rock god.

He's playing a right handed guitar left handed and upside down...

In the 70s one of my roommates was in the service with Jimi Hendrix, He used to tell about how Jimi was playing guitar every free moment he had.

Want to really have your mind blown: from the day that he first picked up his guitar to the day he died it was barely 14 years 🤯 age 14 to 27

Jimi is laughing right now :D “Is this fake?”

" The Star Spangled Banner" is a must see, absolutely. He is no fake- I saw him in concert. Believe me, Jimmie is still the greatest of all time!!!!

Gotta see..." All around the Watch tower"....yes, he did....he did

I first saw Jimi Monterey Pop one night in 69 on television. It was the first time I’ve seen anyone roll on floor while playing a guitar. My jaws dropped. I wanted to be like him, playing behind his back. He made that make sounds I’ve never heard before. The next bay I went to the pawn shop and bought a cheap guitar for $12. I was 14 years old.

Jimi Hendrix was a legend, he played the guitar left-handed and he taught his self. And he was playing the guitar with his teeth. One of the greatest.

And the wind cries Mary, one of the most perfect ballads ever

he was a real sweet young man in all his interviews and off-stage clips. such a shame to have lost him...so young. he mastered feedback.

The studio version is absolutely lovely to hear and has background singers adding to the effect.

He plays with his teeth, and he also plays behind his head. Not fake, that's Jimi! He also chewed gum laced with Acid

When I was a freshman in High School, I saw him in concert. Still awe struck.

You know he played it left-handed and he was the king of electric guitar I have a tribute to him One of his favorite quotes “when the love of power is overcome by the power of love then we shall know peace”

“Can you really do that?!” “He can.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You should see him play “the star spangled banner” at Woodstock.

Tim & Fred, you two are the best thing that’s ever happened to KZfaq! You love music deep in your souls and we can feel it watching you 💖 (Note: no edit, Jimi Hendrix ‘Hey Joe” was filmed live 53 years ago at an outdoor festival, he was my generation’s idol and a true musical genius) Back in the day, there were no computers & musicians all played their instruments for real !

These brothers are so lucky....I’m jealous that they are at the beginning of their Hendrix “Experience”......if you ever meet anyone who has never heard Hendrix I recommend sit them in a comfortable chair with a drink and play at maximum volume A Band of Gypsies Live at the Fillmore....at his peak.

Jimi had talent oozing out of every pore in his body. His gifts live on and on- I think he's is the kind of big boy that will NEVER die.

Something else cool about Jimi, he was an Army Paratrooper!!!

One of the best musicians ever

Watching these lovely young men listen to Jimi for the first time made me cry. Jimi was a a divine being and the coolest dude ever !!!

Jimi Hendrix live show checklist - Chewing gum while singing - High af on acid - Playing right handed guitar upside down (he was left handed) - Guitar solo with teeth - Guitar solo behind his head

playing with his teeth. couldn't fake that. jimmi's just a boss

"Can you really do that?" "He can." - Everything Jimi Hendrix did

James Marshall Hendrix- A true legend going all the way back to 1967!! Gone to soon and too long! Probably the greatest guitar player in our time! He has all the moves! RIP Beautiful🎸

You have to give props to the bass player Noel Redding. The bass line for this tune was brilliant and played a big and often forgotten part, in its success.

Prince was heavily influenced by Jimi Hendrix. In fact, if you look at how Jimi dressed , you’ll see that Prince got his style from him.

See his Star Spangled Banner rendition at the Woodstock closing.....He loved his LSD. It's a great rendition!

Absolutely fantastic watching these young men hearing and watching the great musicians of my generation. I'm sure they have heard and love Santana. Love it. I'm hooked.

The fact he learned to play guitar upside down makes it even more mind boggling 🤯

Died at 27 and I always put flowers on his grave when I lived there. Seattle national treasure! RIP JIMI 💞

He died in London, aged just 27 years. R.I.P.

I love watching you guys watch our music. Jimi was one of the most amazing guitar players ever.

😂😂😂 you two are so funny. Loved your reaction. On stage he was all that You got the whole package. Take care

He taught himself how to play guitar. The man played guitar with his thumb and was left handed. Even now, no one compares, there’s no one like him.

Nothing Jimi Hendrix ever did was fake. He was the best guitarist this planet ever had the privilege of experiencing. Huge symphony orchestras play his music today. That was his dream, to play with an orchestra. But he joined the 27 club before it happened, regretfully.

Jimi will always be the Best! No one will ever come close to his talent. No one.

Not fake . I cried when he died . So MUCH TALENT. I read somewhere he was in the special forces. When i came to the USA i brought his records with me.

Yeah, he was that crazy! Check out "All Along The Watchtower" or "Purple Haze" it will blow your mind!

The night I got home from Vietnam I was going to surprise my girlfriend......who went to a Jimi Hendrix concert that night. Had to wait to surprise her. Hey, I would have ditched me for Jimi Hendrix too! LOL!

He played with his teeth not tongue or lips. He was amazing. "All Along the Watchtower" is even more amazing. Hendrix was a genius. It was a real loss when we lost him, he was only 27.

This is awesome that these two twins enjoy MMY music when I was 15! I’m 71 now and I appreciate the love from you guys

That's why Jimi is a legend.

I been listening to Hendrix almost 50 years, and it never gets old. I love these reaction videos! Thanks for keeping this music alive! Much respect!

I saw Jimi in concert in San Antonio, Tx. Dude was so cold he played his guitar on the microphone stand! And it sounded hella good!

Not only was Jimmy a phenomenal guitar player he also invented and made the first ever distortion pedal for guitars... a true renaissance man.

"This dude chewin gum" yup. He was also HIGH AF on acid. (As he was at live shows)

These two twins are pretty cool cats. I believe I could hang with them and I’m a 51 year old white dude. They seem like good people!

Jimi was born in Seattle, but first became a star in England. Freddie Mercury was a huge fan when he was in college & once went to see Jimi 9 nights in a row. Hendrix was a huge influence. Freddie emulated his musical style, showmanship & way of dressing.

Jimi was the FIRST guitar hero, an eternal legend!!!!! 👍

Omg the look on your face when he was playing the guitar with his mouth, lips, tongue --how did you say it? You two are priceless! All that and "All he sang was Hey Joe." You guys are the best! ✌️

When young people say “He’s Tripping!” 😂🤣😂🤣 Yes Chile, he’s literally tripping on that LSD laced gum he is chewing 😂🤣😂🤣 Love the reaction 😍🥰😍🥰

Nothing fake about Jimi. I saw him in a small auditorium and he had an amazing presence. He was incredibly talented and a spellbinder. I believe he used his teeth.

He did some brilliant, innovative things with a guitar; that is not the only one reason he's a legend; he was also brilliant lyricist.
