Jimi Hendrix Quotes

Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.


Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.


Music is a safe kind of high.


All I'm gonna do is just go on and do what I feel.


Music is my religion.


My nature just changes.


-Jimi Hendrix

Thank you for posting this. Can't believe that there hasn't been a peep about the 40th anniversary of his death in the mainstream media.

R.I.P. Jimi.

Think I need to go dig out some vinyl now...

Forty years since Jimi was murdered and very few realize it. Jimi was dead for a long time before the EMTs showed up and found him drowned in red wine. The "choked on his own vomit in the ambulance" story that has been propagated ever since is false. See Dr. Bannister's comments on his body's condition upon arriving to the hospital. He had "copious quanities" of wine filling his lungs and low blood alcohol. Obviously it is not possible for a human being to pour large amounts of wine into his own lungs.

None of us were there so nobody can truly say they know for sure..but I believe the alcohol / sleeping pill story because when you mix the two at high doses it is easy to be laying on your back knocked the fuck out and just be choking on your own vomit if nobody moves you or notices...happens everyday



Jimi is one of the few artists that can actually bring a psychedelic experience to you through sound so accurately it makes you wonder :ying:

He wasn't drunk though. That kind of puts a hole in your belief huh? His lungs were full of red wine and very little of it got into his blood. What does that tell you? It sure doesn't happen every day. I would bet any money there is not one case in the whole history of humanity of someone filling there own lungs with wine.

Here is an article from "The Independent".

Story by: Sadie Gray

The rock legend Jimi Hendrix was murdered by his manager, who stood to collect millions of dollars on the star's life insurance policy, a former roadie has claimed in a new book.

James "Tappy" Wright says that Hendrix's manager, Michael Jeffrey, drunkenly confessed to killing him by stuffing pills into his mouth and washing them down with several bottles of red wine because he feared Hendrix intended to dump him for a new manager, according to a report in the Mail on Sunday.

In his book, Rock Roadie, Mr Wright says Jeffrey told him in 1971 that Hendrix had been "worth more to him dead than alive" as he had taken out a life insurance policy on the musician worth $2m (about £1.2m at the time), with himself as the beneficiary. Two years later, Jeffrey was killed in a plane crash.

Hendrix died in September 1970, aged 27. An ambulance crew found his body in the Samarkand Hotel, west London, in the room of a woman called Monika Dannemann, whom he had known for only a few days.

Hendrix was alone in the room, lying on his back, with the gas fire on and the door open. There was no record of who had called the ambulance. His inquest recorded the cause of his death as barbiturate intoxication and inhalation of vomit, and recorded an open verdict.

Describing the night of Jeffrey's confession, Mr Wright wrote: "I can still hear that conversation, see the man I'd known for so much of my life, his face pale, hand clutching at his glass in sudden rage."

Wright claims Jeffrey told him: "I had to do it, Tappy. You understand, don't you? I had to do it. You know damn well what I'm talking about.

"I was in London the night of Jimi's death and together with some old friends... we went round to Monika's hotel room, got a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth... then poured a few bottles of red wine deep into his windpipe.

"I had to do it. Jimi was worth much more to me dead than alive. That son of a bitch was going to leave me. If I lost him, I'd lose everything."

John Bannister, the surgeon who dealt with Hendrix at hospital, has said he was convinced the star had drowned in red wine, despite having very little alcohol in his bloodstream.

"I recall vividly the very large amounts of red wine that oozed from his stomach and his lungs and in my opinion there was no question that Jimi Hendrix had drowned, if not at home then on the way to the hospital," he wrote in 1992.

We were going to see Furthur in Seattle on 9/18/10, the 40th annivarsary of Jimi's death. My boyfriend has a 9/18 birthday and remembered it was the day, so we stopped by in Renton - SE Seattle. It was a trip because we expected to have to wait in line and deal with the crowd, etc... to our surprise, there was hardly anybody there. We hung for a while, brought offerings etc, and heard some cool stories from an old family friend who was also playing guitar there before we decided to jet. As we're leaving in rolls this blonde chick blasting the "star spangled banner" and whizzes in like a bat out of hell in a sports car etc... she ended up taking us under her wing a bit and really told the story. Not about Jimi's death, but family matters, the memorial relocating, Jimi's own mother getting left behind while the rest of the family was relocated to the new memorial... This woman raised (independantly of the Hendrix foundation) money to buy Jimi's mother a proper headstone... the story continues, but it was quite the... um... experience. Bless up Jimi~

I know where I was, though I don't remember it. I was in the hospital being born. Yes, that is my birthday.

I've always loved Jimi Hendrix (my dad introduced me early and often), and I've often lamented the fact that I never got to see him perform :(
