The late Jimi Hendrix has often been named the world’s greatest guitarist, an elite acknowledgment given the stiff competition. But when asked by American reporters who his choice was, he surprised them by saying, “You believe I’m the best because you have not listened to Greek Manolis Hiotis playing his bouzouki.” Hendrix first met Hiotis and his partner, singer Mary Linda, while they were on tour around the United States back in the 1960’s. Having attended one of Hiotis’ shows, Hendrix admitted he admired him and that he discussed with Hiotis about his playing technique. Hendrix was Hiotis’ biggest backer even before then-U.S. President Lyndon Johnson invited Hiotis and Mary Linda to the White House to play on his birthday and offered them a Green Card for immigrants so they could stay in America as long as they wanted. 58.165.50.212 ( talk) 12:10, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I just read a different account of how Hendrix got the Silvertone, in Richie Unterberger's Rough Guide to Jimi Hendrix volume. The quote was - "Of more immediate concern were continuing tensions with his father, who refused to pay for a new guitar after Jimi lost his backstage at one of his early gigs. The level of his skill was already such, however, that several members of another high-school band with whom he’d started to play, The Rocking Kings, rallied around to buy Jimi a $49.95 Danelectro Silvertone so that he could continue playing with their group." At present, the article credits Al with buying the Silvertone. I'm not sure what is correct. Unterberger is certainly a reputable source. Perhaps this should be mentioned?

Hello, in the process of getting a citation for the first sentence of the ancestry and childhood section, I noticed conflicting information in the sources. In the “Blood of Entertainers” article published by Janie L. Hendrix, it is stated that Robert Moore, Jimi Hendrix’s great-grandfather, was a freed slave. It also says that his wife Fanny was half African-American and half Cherokee. There is no mention of Irish heritage for either of them. In the wiki article, it presently states that Robert Moore was half Irish and half Cherokee, and that Fanny was African-American. Are we sure this is correct? Tidewater 2014 ( talk) 04:25, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
Janie Hendrix was not a blood relative, but her account of this seems just as believable as the 1995 book presently cited. Because of the disputed information, I have cleaned up the ancestry section. What is not disputed is that Hendrix’s paternal grandmother was one-quarter Cherokee. All the sources and tags have been kept. Any mention of a possible Irish background, if it belongs at all, should be a footnote. If there are any objections, let me know. Tidewater 2014 ( talk) 16:59, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
Thanks Patrick, I don't know a lot about Experience Hendrix LLC, but I'd imagine that more information could be added to the article on it. If I come across anything that seems like a good source, I'll run it by you. It might also make sense to briefly mention Hendrix's will, and the lawsuits involving Leon, though Leon has his own article. Tidewater 2014 ( talk) 21:39, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Can someone add Jimi Hendrix to Category:American baritones? 108.16.6.88 ( talk) 04:03, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
Is it actually known for certain that Hendrix’s “first and only single” with Little Richard was “I Don't Know What You Got (But It's Got Me)?" Hendrix played on that track, but according to Little Richard biographer Charles White (who published The Quasar of Rock in 1984) Hendrix was most likely on both sides of the late 1964 Little Richard Vee Jay single "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On"/ "Goodnight Irene" (VJ 612). Interestingly, both sides made the “bubble under” region of the billboard pop chart, at 126 and 128 respectively. Since the early 1970’s, these tracks have been packaged repeatedly on albums purporting to feature Hendrix and Richard, though some of these albums have been described as “bogus.” To me, “Irene” certainly sounds like Hendrix’s style, though my intuition alone isn’t enough. Is there anyone more familiar with the timetable of when Hendrix first played with Richard? Tidewater 2014 ( talk) 19:22, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
Interesting, well, I guess there's simply not enough evidence to say he was on the '64 recordings. Little Richard was quoted in the White book as saying he first met Hendrix (then wanting to be known as Maurice James) in Atlanta, GA when he was backing "Gorgeous" George O'Dell. The Shapiro book has Hendrix going on the road in Spring 1963 as O'Dell's guitarist. The history is murky, but I wonder precisely when Richard first met Hendrix. I found a source [20] that lists Richard appearing eight times at the Domino Club in Atlanta in December 1964. This might well be where Hendrix joined him. The Shapiro book states that Hendrix was not on "Shakin'" and "Irene," but nothing about how they came to that conclusion. Similarly, White's book says "both featured the guitar work of Hendrix" without any further evidence. It appears that these recordings were made in LA in June of '64. The two sources contradict, and unless more evidence to the contrary appears, I see no reason to change anything. Tidewater 2014 ( talk) 03:24, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia,
I see that the first paragraph describes Hendrix's death as "...accidental...from barbiturate-related asphyxia". After further reading though, you state that it was declared an "open verdict" by forensic pathologist Robert Donald Teare. From reading this, I believe that the first paragraph should be reworded due to the fact that "Barbiturate-related" could be interpreted in many different ways, and that Hendrix's death was ultimately ruled an "open verdict".

Change "appended" to "apprehended" in the last paragraph of Military Service. 24.49.168.170 ( talk) 02:39, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
The whole section seems intent on presenting an anti-army Jimi Hendrix in order to resolve the cognitive dissonace of him being an icon of the anti-war movement of the 1960s. Few soldiers ever go through their training without reprimands and complaints, that is not as relevant as it's made in the section. In actual fact, Hendrix was surprinsigly conservative and right-wing. More to the point, he was not anti-war at all. In 1967, at the height of the conflict, he even recorded radio ads for the armed forces urging youngsters to enlist, and he gave interviews supporting the Pentagon's view of the war as necessary and just. He never said that his rendition of the American national Anthem was anti-war, it is others who saw it that way. (Source: "The Rought Guide to Jimi Hendrix" Unterberger, Ritchie 2009).

Christgau's claim (from a four sentence review of the Isley Brothers & Jimi Hendrix: In the Beginning ... [22]) is completely wrong:
Especially on "Move Over Let Me Dance," Hendrix anticipates effects Clapton introduced on "Sunshine of My [ sic] Love," but in a less inflated context.
What elements/techniques/sounds/etc. does Hendrix use with the Isleys that "anticipates" (suggests/resembles/etc.) Clapton on " Sunshine of Your Love"? What are the "effects Clapton introduced" (used for the first time) on SOYL?
Clapton doesn't employ guitar effects on SOYL (based on research for the article GA). With the volume Clapton used, his amp(s) are overloaded, producing some distortion. This is not an effect and electric blues guitarists have been producing this sound since the late 1940s (Clapton made a lot of use with it with Mayall). Clapton uses his self-described "woman tone" (a combination of guitar and amp tone-control settings, not an effect) on the opening riff and solo on SOYL, a tone he had previously used on " I Feel Free" (Cream's first single).
Hendrix references, bios, etc., don't mention any use of effects on his recordings with the Isleys (based on research for several Hendrix articles GAs, including the pre-Experience " Mercy, Mercy" recorded around the same time as his recordings for the Isleys). Except for common reverb and tube distortion, his sound on " Testify", "Move Over and Let Me Dance" and "Have You Ever Been Disappointed" is fairly straight. His technique is very rhythmic/R&B-style, quite unlike Clapton's basic riff-type approach. Is this supposed to be a "less inflated context"?
Christgau's opinion should be treated like a exceptional claim or fringe theory. Without other reliable sources that support it, it should be removed from the article. — Ojorojo ( talk) 19:25, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Change the current image to the one depicted left. Suggested image is in full color, high quality, depicts Hendrix on his signature instrument, and displays his colorful personality and fashion sense that was a staple of his person.
In comparison, the current image used on Hendrix's page is significantly low-quality, in black-and-white, and it does not display much about Hendrix other than him playing guitar in comparison to his often vivid and colorful outfits, and suffers from some visual clutter in the form of background objects, made worse by the colorless nature of the image.

I note with thanks my honourable colleague's edit of "England" to "UK" in the linked diff, and the accompanying comment (yes, I spent most of the day listening to a crazy parliamentary debate :-)
I don't want to revert it myself; this is just to note that Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are not "legally considered countries", they are regions of the UK, which is itself a member-nation of the EU. You are treading on delicate ground here, particularly right now. Countries that are not members of the United Nations are not countries in the sense of nations; for any so-called "country", there is some legally-recognized nation that claims that they are a region of the nation in question, and not some kind of independent thing. [Edit: I believe that the place called Somaliland is a unique counter-example; it is not recognized as a state, and nobody seems to be claiming sovereignty there]
To rephrase, what some people say is "Country X" others say "that is Region Y; Country X is not a country in any meaningful sense, and if you disagree, then we in nation Z have riot troops that will prove we are right". Just check the TV news.
"Nations" is no help; many places that call themselves nations are considered regions by some other UN-recognised nation. Consider (just a simple, fairly-uncontroversial example) Catalonia. "Scotland" is not a country, in any other sense than that it receives regional grants from the EU. If that makes you a "country", then hell, Liverpool is a country.
I am not aware of any "Kensington" in Scotland, and I'm pretty sure that if there is one, Jimi never stayed there. I'm also sure that there's no place called London in Scotland; it would have been burned to the ground the moment it was named. Consider the controversy over the naming of the town variously known as Derry or Londonderry; that's been a cause of armed conflict for longer than the USA has been a state.
Why be vague, when the facts are specific? We know exactly what address in Kensington, London, England he stayed at (we even know what flat-number he stayed in).
Please consider self-reverting the changes from "UK" back to "England". MrDemeanour ( talk) 21:28, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Isento: Jon Caramanica's assertion that "during his [Hendrix's] life, he was not embraced by the African-American music world" reflects the conventional wisdom, but is it really true? An article in Rolling Stone includes:
But while his influence upon black music wouldn’t become apparent until the early Seventies – via acts like Funkadelic, the Ohio Players and the Isley Brothers, who drew heavily upon his freaky legacy – the oft-repeated claim that Hendrix didn’t have a black fan base during the late Sixties is far from correct. Are You Experienced not only peaked at Number Five on the Billboard 200 in the fall of 1967, but it also made it to Number 10 on the Billboard R&B chart, which was compiled from reports filed by record stores with a primarily black customer base. Hendrix would ultimately land five albums in the R&B Top 10, so it clearly wasn’t just white hippies who were buying his records. [32]
His other albums were also popular on the R&B/Soul chart: Axis – #6 (vs #3 on the 200); Electric Ladyland – #5 (vs #1); Band of Gypsys – #14 (vs #5); Smash Hits – #22 (vs #6). The first two posthumous albums (1971) were also popular: Cry of Love – #6 (vs #3) and Rainbow Bridge – #9 (vs #15).
Charles Shaar Murray notes his apparent influence in " Freddie's Dead" (1972) by Curtis Mayfield and " That Lady" (1973) by the Isley Brothers. There's also " Maggot Brain" (1971) by P-Funk (see Band of Gypsys#Influence for refs).
Although there was a bit of a lag, his album sales during his lifetime to the traditional R&B/Soul market soon translated into artists in that medium who showed his influences.

The claim in the article that Al Hendrix refused to take the boys to the funeral and treated the boys badly when delivering the news about her death ("and instructed them that was how men should deal with loss") is totally contradicted by Leon Hendrix in his book A brothers Story. I dont have the book in English, but I will offer an excerpt: "Our father told us carefully that or mother had passed. [...] When the funeral approached in early february our father dressed us up and drank heavily, all morning. [...]" He tells the story that the father then drove around for a very long time, getting lost, until they arrived at the church. "A man in a black suit opened the church door: -What may I do for you? -Were going to the Jeter-wake. -Im sorry but that service was two o'clock. [...] Al was pie eyed drunk and had arrived six hours late. "Buster" (James or "Jimi") was so angry he wouldnt even look in Als direction.[...] "[After coming home] Al said: come on boys, lets have a toast to your mother! First we all prayed on our knees to mom, then we stood up and and Al held up a bottle of Seagrams seven. It was obvious that he was about to cry. "Here's to your mother!" he said and drank. After he took a long sip he gave the bottle to Buster who tilted his head back and drank a sizable sip. Leon goes on to finish the story about how he drank, and that he hand James began stealing small sips from his fathers bottles after that. Sorry about the wall of text, but editing the wiki has to be done with a detail I cant offer atm, so instead I offered the basis for my correction. My intentions are to edit if no-one beats me to it.

Lucille had been taken to a funeral home in Chinatown, and Al borrowed a truck and took the children down there. Outside the funeral home, however, he had second thoughts about letting the boys see the body and made them stay in the truck while he paid his last visit ... When Al came back, he offered each boy a shot of Seagram's 7 ... The funeral was held four days later ... When it came time to begin, everyone was in attendance except Al, Jimi, and Leon ... "We kept waiting," [Aunt] Delores said, "and they just never came." [pp. 58–59]
Al explained that Jimi wanted to go to the funeral, but Al didn't have a car, so he gave Jimi bus fare and told him, "You got the fare, so you can catch the bus." Rather than take the bus to his mother's funeral by himself [at age 15], Jimi stayed in his room weeping. "We both wanted to go," Leon recalled, "but my dad wouldn't let us." ... His father's choice not to let him attend the funeral stuck with Jimi as a bitter memory. "He never really forgave our dad for that," said Leon. [p. 59]
Beginning sometime after The Jimi Hendrix Experience (album) (2000 box set), which also includes tracks with the Band of Gypsys and the post-Gypsys Cox & Mitchell lineup, subsequent live releases with Cox & Mitchell are often re-branded "Jimi Hendrix Experience". However, mixed works-in-progress studio releases with Cox & Mitchell intending to expand on First Rays of the New Rising Sun (listed as Jimi Hendrix), such as Valleys of Neptune (2010), People, Hell and Angels (2013), Both Sides of the Sky (2018) continued as "Jimi Hendrix" albums.
Concert albums & films with Cox & Mitchell:
Live albums with both Cox & Redding (& Mitchell):
Some more recent album reviews have also picked up on this trend, with previous concert releases once reviewed as "Jimi Hendrix albums" becoming "Jimi Hendrix Experience albums". To use the "Experience" moniker for releases with Cox & Mitchell may be good for marketing, but confusing to those who associate "Jimi Hendrix Experience" with the original lineup with Redding & Mitchell. For those releases with Cox & Mitchell that use the Experience tag, it may be helpful to include clarification, such as the "Jimi Hendrix Experience with Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell" or such. Any thoughts?

The present text is inconsistent regarding Hendrix military career. It states that he arrived at Ft. Campbell on November 8 1961 and a letter home Hendrix writes that two weeks later he began Airborne Training. The text says he graduated from Airborne training by January 11 1962. The existing text later states that Hendrix took 8 months to compete Airborne training. This is entirely inconsistent. Prior assignments, including Basic Training, AIT, etc are not part of Airborne training as all soldiers do that. It’s not exclusive to Airborne. It would be more accurate to either indicate how long he was in Airborne school, or write that he completed Airborne training 8 months after enlisting. What’s more, Airborne school is, and was, three weeks. It’s a one-shot deal. If you wash out for anything other than a temporary medical issue (like broken bone or laceration) you cannot ever attempt it again. In other words, no one can possible, ever take 8 months to complete Airborne training. 2603:6000:9840:E07:E83D:379D:C9F1:A626 ( talk) 16:51, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

"Hendrix...lied that he had received a medical discharge after breaking his ankle during his 26th parachute jump.[61][nb 9]"
The source support for him "lying" about his ankle injury seems to be pretty weak. In the major Hendrix documentary "Hear My Train A' Comin'" the medical discharge for a broken ankle is presented as factual. There are other sources that say his military records mention an ankle injury as the reason for his honorable medical discharge. Unless there's conclusive evidence that he lied about the ankle injury, then the most one can say is that some sources say he did have such an injury and others say he lied about it. TheBlinkster ( talk) 07:11, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
Alphonso Johnson [a band mate while Hendrix was in the army] provided additional insight into the case against Private Hendrix: "His friend Billy Cox was getting out soon, and Jimi didn't want to stay in the Army alone, so Jimi said he broke his ankle to get out. Jimi wore a cast for about two weeks after he was out, and then it came off. He faked that one. I used to ask him how it was doing, and he said, 'Oh, just fine." He knew I was teasing him. He'd figured a way to get out and be with Billy. [p. 26]
However, no army records have been produced that indicate that he received or was discharged for any injuries. [Gelfand 2006, p. 32]

The late Jimi Hendrix has often been named the world’s greatest guitarist, an elite acknowledgment given the stiff competition. But when asked by American reporters who his choice was, he surprised them by saying, “You believe I’m the best because you have not listened to Greek Manolis Hiotis playing his bouzouki.” Hendrix first met Hiotis and his partner, singer Mary Linda, while they were on tour around the United States back in the 1960’s. Having attended one of Hiotis’ shows, Hendrix admitted he admired him and that he discussed with Hiotis about his playing technique. Hendrix was Hiotis’ biggest backer even before then-U.S. President Lyndon Johnson invited Hiotis and Mary Linda to the White House to play on his birthday and offered them a Green Card for immigrants so they could stay in America as long as they wanted. 58.165.50.212 ( talk) 12:10, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I just read a different account of how Hendrix got the Silvertone, in Richie Unterberger's Rough Guide to Jimi Hendrix volume. The quote was - "Of more immediate concern were continuing tensions with his father, who refused to pay for a new guitar after Jimi lost his backstage at one of his early gigs. The level of his skill was already such, however, that several members of another high-school band with whom he’d started to play, The Rocking Kings, rallied around to buy Jimi a $49.95 Danelectro Silvertone so that he could continue playing with their group." At present, the article credits Al with buying the Silvertone. I'm not sure what is correct. Unterberger is certainly a reputable source. Perhaps this should be mentioned?

Hello, in the process of getting a citation for the first sentence of the ancestry and childhood section, I noticed conflicting information in the sources. In the “Blood of Entertainers” article published by Janie L. Hendrix, it is stated that Robert Moore, Jimi Hendrix’s great-grandfather, was a freed slave. It also says that his wife Fanny was half African-American and half Cherokee. There is no mention of Irish heritage for either of them. In the wiki article, it presently states that Robert Moore was half Irish and half Cherokee, and that Fanny was African-American. Are we sure this is correct? Tidewater 2014 ( talk) 04:25, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
Janie Hendrix was not a blood relative, but her account of this seems just as believable as the 1995 book presently cited. Because of the disputed information, I have cleaned up the ancestry section. What is not disputed is that Hendrix’s paternal grandmother was one-quarter Cherokee. All the sources and tags have been kept. Any mention of a possible Irish background, if it belongs at all, should be a footnote. If there are any objections, let me know. Tidewater 2014 ( talk) 16:59, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
Thanks Patrick, I don't know a lot about Experience Hendrix LLC, but I'd imagine that more information could be added to the article on it.

Can someone add Jimi Hendrix to Category:American baritones? 108.16.6.88 ( talk) 04:03, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
Is it actually known for certain that Hendrix’s “first and only single” with Little Richard was “I Don't Know What You Got (But It's Got Me)?" Hendrix played on that track, but according to Little Richard biographer Charles White (who published The Quasar of Rock in 1984) Hendrix was most likely on both sides of the late 1964 Little Richard Vee Jay single "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On"/ "Goodnight Irene" (VJ 612). Interestingly, both sides made the “bubble under” region of the billboard pop chart, at 126 and 128 respectively. Since the early 1970’s, these tracks have been packaged repeatedly on albums purporting to feature Hendrix and Richard, though some of these albums have been described as “bogus.” To me, “Irene” certainly sounds like Hendrix’s style, though my intuition alone isn’t enough. Is there anyone more familiar with the timetable of when Hendrix first played with Richard? Tidewater 2014 ( talk) 19:22, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
Interesting, well, I guess there's simply not enough evidence to say he was on the '64 recordings. Little Richard was quoted in the White book as saying he first met Hendrix (then wanting to be known as Maurice James) in Atlanta, GA when he was backing "Gorgeous" George O'Dell. The Shapiro book has Hendrix going on the road in Spring 1963 as O'Dell's guitarist. The history is murky, but I wonder precisely when Richard first met Hendrix. I found a source [20] that lists Richard appearing eight times at the Domino Club in Atlanta in December 1964. This might well be where Hendrix joined him. The Shapiro book states that Hendrix was not on "Shakin'" and "Irene," but nothing about how they came to that conclusion. Similarly, White's book says "both featured the guitar work of Hendrix" without any further evidence. It appears that these recordings were made in LA in June of '64. The two sources contradict, and unless more evidence to the contrary appears, I see no reason to change anything. Tidewater 2014 ( talk) 03:24, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia,
I see that the first paragraph describes Hendrix's death as "...accidental...from barbiturate-related asphyxia". After further reading though, you state that it was declared an "open verdict" by forensic pathologist Robert Donald Teare. From reading this, I believe that the first paragraph should be reworded due to the fact that "Barbiturate-related" could be interpreted in many different ways, and that Hendrix's death was ultimately ruled an "open verdict".

Change "appended" to "apprehended" in the last paragraph of Military Service. 24.49.168.170 ( talk) 02:39, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
The whole section seems intent on presenting an anti-army Jimi Hendrix in order to resolve the cognitive dissonace of him being an icon of the anti-war movement of the 1960s. Few soldiers ever go through their training without reprimands and complaints, that is not as relevant as it's made in the section. In actual fact, Hendrix was surprinsigly conservative and right-wing. More to the point, he was not anti-war at all. In 1967, at the height of the conflict, he even recorded radio ads for the armed forces urging youngsters to enlist, and he gave interviews supporting the Pentagon's view of the war as necessary and just. He never said that his rendition of the American national Anthem was anti-war, it is others who saw it that way. (Source: "The Rought Guide to Jimi Hendrix" Unterberger, Ritchie 2009).

Christgau's claim (from a four sentence review of the Isley Brothers & Jimi Hendrix: In the Beginning ... [22]) is completely wrong:
Especially on "Move Over Let Me Dance," Hendrix anticipates effects Clapton introduced on "Sunshine of My [ sic] Love," but in a less inflated context.
What elements/techniques/sounds/etc. does Hendrix use with the Isleys that "anticipates" (suggests/resembles/etc.) Clapton on " Sunshine of Your Love"? What are the "effects Clapton introduced" (used for the first time) on SOYL?
Clapton doesn't employ guitar effects on SOYL (based on research for the article GA). With the volume Clapton used, his amp(s) are overloaded, producing some distortion. This is not an effect and electric blues guitarists have been producing this sound since the late 1940s (Clapton made a lot of use with it with Mayall). Clapton uses his self-described "woman tone" (a combination of guitar and amp tone-control settings, not an effect) on the opening riff and solo on SOYL, a tone he had previously used on " I Feel Free" (Cream's first single).
Hendrix references, bios, etc., don't mention any use of effects on his recordings with the Isleys (based on research for several Hendrix articles GAs, including the pre-Experience " Mercy, Mercy" recorded around the same time as his recordings for the Isleys). Except for common reverb and tube distortion, his sound on " Testify", "Move Over and Let Me Dance" and "Have You Ever Been Disappointed" is fairly straight. His technique is very rhythmic/R&B-style, quite unlike Clapton's basic riff-type approach. Is this supposed to be a "less inflated context"?
Christgau's opinion should be treated like a exceptional claim or fringe theory. Without other reliable sources that support it, it should be removed from the article. — Ojorojo ( talk) 19:25, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Please change this sentence: On June 29, 1962, Captain Gilbert Batchman granted Hendrix an honorable discharge on the basis of unsuitability.
to this: On June 29, 1962, Captain Gilbert Batchman granted Hendrix a discharge "under honorable conditions" on the basis of unsuitability.
They are two different types of discharges, not synonymous. This article explains: https://www.vetverify.org/javax.faces.resource/images/VOSB-Military-Discharge-Overview.pdf.xhtml?ln=default&v=1_0 -- if you want to add a footnote explaining it.

@ Orville: Roby and Schreiber write: "On June 29, 1962, Jimi was approved for an honorable discharge from the army for 'unsuitability'" (p. 26), so a better source is needed. A "Special Orders Mumber 167" Extract dated 29 June 1962 that Skylab1 may be referring to includes "Type disch: Under Honorable Conditions" and "Rsn (disch): Unsuitability". Shouldn't there be a formal discharge certificate? — Ojorojo ( talk) 17:21, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

File:Jimi Hendrix, Feb 1969 Royal Albert Hall Concert.png
Change the current image to the one depicted left. Suggested image is in full color, high quality, depicts Hendrix on his signature instrument, and displays his colorful personality and fashion sense that was a staple of his person.
In comparison, the current image used on Hendrix's page is significantly low-quality, in black-and-white, and it does not display much about Hendrix other than him playing guitar in comparison to his often vivid and colorful outfits, and suffers from some visual clutter in the form of background objects, made worse by the colorless nature of the image.

I've already made an edit request about this, which should be visible just above, but I've been informed that I should establish consensus first prior to that, so -- here's my idea! I'd like to change the image of Hendrix's infobox for the following major and minor reasons:
So, all in all, I believe that this image does not work very well. It does not fit the style or personality of Hendrix well, and as an image it isn't the greatest quality. The image that I have suggested can be found below, alongside my reasons for adding it:
Those would be my reasons for the new image I'm suggesting -- what do you fellow editors think? Is there anything to add to this, or any disagreeing with my reasoning?

I note with thanks my honourable colleague's edit of "England" to "UK" in the linked diff, and the accompanying comment (yes, I spent most of the day listening to a crazy parliamentary debate :-)
I don't want to revert it myself; this is just to note that Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are not "legally considered countries", they are regions of the UK, which is itself a member-nation of the EU. You are treading on delicate ground here, particularly right now. Countries that are not members of the United Nations are not countries in the sense of nations; for any so-called "country", there is some legally-recognized nation that claims that they are a region of the nation in question, and not some kind of independent thing. [Edit: I believe that the place called Somaliland is a unique counter-example; it is not recognized as a state, and nobody seems to be claiming sovereignty there]
To rephrase, what some people say is "Country X" others say "that is Region Y; Country X is not a country in any meaningful sense, and if you disagree, then we in nation Z have riot troops that will prove we are right". Just check the TV news.
"Nations" is no help; many places that call themselves nations are considered regions by some other UN-recognised nation. Consider (just a simple, fairly-uncontroversial example) Catalonia. "Scotland" is not a country, in any other sense than that it receives regional grants from the EU. If that makes you a "country", then hell, Liverpool is a country.
I am not aware of any "Kensington" in Scotland, and I'm pretty sure that if there is one, Jimi never stayed there. I'm also sure that there's no place called London in Scotland; it would have been burned to the ground the moment it was named. Consider the controversy over the naming of the town variously known as Derry or Londonderry; that's been a cause of armed conflict for longer than the USA has been a state.
Why be vague, when the facts are specific? We know exactly what address in Kensington, London, England he stayed at (we even know what flat-number he stayed in).
Please consider self-reverting the changes from "UK" back to "England". MrDemeanour ( talk) 21:28, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Isento: Jon Caramanica's assertion that "during his [Hendrix's] life, he was not embraced by the African-American music world" reflects the conventional wisdom, but is it really true? An article in Rolling Stone includes:
But while his influence upon black music wouldn’t become apparent until the early Seventies – via acts like Funkadelic, the Ohio Players and the Isley Brothers, who drew heavily upon his freaky legacy – the oft-repeated claim that Hendrix didn’t have a black fan base during the late Sixties is far from correct. Are You Experienced not only peaked at Number Five on the Billboard 200 in the fall of 1967, but it also made it to Number 10 on the Billboard R&B chart, which was compiled from reports filed by record stores with a primarily black customer base. Hendrix would ultimately land five albums in the R&B Top 10, so it clearly wasn’t just white hippies who were buying his records. [32]
His other albums were also popular on the R&B/Soul chart: Axis – #6 (vs #3 on the 200); Electric Ladyland – #5 (vs #1); Band of Gypsys – #14 (vs #5); Smash Hits – #22 (vs #6). The first two posthumous albums (1971) were also popular: Cry of Love – #6 (vs #3) and Rainbow Bridge – #9 (vs #15).
Charles Shaar Murray notes his apparent influence in " Freddie's Dead" (1972) by Curtis Mayfield and " That Lady" (1973) by the Isley Brothers. There's also " Maggot Brain" (1971) by P-Funk (see Band of Gypsys#Influence for refs).
Although there was a bit of a lag, his album sales during his lifetime to the traditional R&B/Soul market soon translated into artists in that medium who showed his influences.

The claim in the article that Al Hendrix refused to take the boys to the funeral and treated the boys badly when delivering the news about her death ("and instructed them that was how men should deal with loss") is totally contradicted by Leon Hendrix in his book A brothers Story. I dont have the book in English, but I will offer an excerpt: "Our father told us carefully that or mother had passed. [...] When the funeral approached in early february our father dressed us up and drank heavily, all morning. [...]" He tells the story that the father then drove around for a very long time, getting lost, until they arrived at the church. "A man in a black suit opened the church door: -What may I do for you? -Were going to the Jeter-wake. -Im sorry but that service was two o'clock. [...] Al was pie eyed drunk and had arrived six hours late. "Buster" (James or "Jimi") was so angry he wouldnt even look in Als direction.[...] "[After coming home] Al said: come on boys, lets have a toast to your mother! First we all prayed on our knees to mom, then we stood up and and Al held up a bottle of Seagrams seven. It was obvious that he was about to cry. "Here's to your mother!" he said and drank. After he took a long sip he gave the bottle to Buster who tilted his head back and drank a sizable sip. Leon goes on to finish the story about how he drank, and that he hand James began stealing small sips from his fathers bottles after that. Sorry about the wall of text, but editing the wiki has to be done with a detail I cant offer atm, so instead I offered the basis for my correction. My intentions are to edit if no-one beats me to it.

Lucille had been taken to a funeral home in Chinatown, and Al borrowed a truck and took the children down there. Outside the funeral home, however, he had second thoughts about letting the boys see the body and made them stay in the truck while he paid his last visit ... When Al came back, he offered each boy a shot of Seagram's 7 ... The funeral was held four days later ... When it came time to begin, everyone was in attendance except Al, Jimi, and Leon ... "We kept waiting," [Aunt] Delores said, "and they just never came." [pp. 58–59]
Al explained that Jimi wanted to go to the funeral, but Al didn't have a car, so he gave Jimi bus fare and told him, "You got the fare, so you can catch the bus." Rather than take the bus to his mother's funeral by himself [at age 15], Jimi stayed in his room weeping. "We both wanted to go," Leon recalled, "but my dad wouldn't let us." ... His father's choice not to let him attend the funeral stuck with Jimi as a bitter memory. "He never really forgave our dad for that," said Leon. [p. 59]
Beginning sometime after The Jimi Hendrix Experience (album) (2000 box set), which also includes tracks with the Band of Gypsys and the post-Gypsys Cox & Mitchell lineup, subsequent live releases with Cox & Mitchell are often re-branded "Jimi Hendrix Experience". However, mixed works-in-progress studio releases with Cox & Mitchell intending to expand on First Rays of the New Rising Sun (listed as Jimi Hendrix), such as Valleys of Neptune (2010), People, Hell and Angels (2013), Both Sides of the Sky (2018) continued as "Jimi Hendrix" albums.
Concert albums & films with Cox & Mitchell:
Live albums with both Cox & Redding (& Mitchell):
Some more recent album reviews have also picked up on this trend, with previous concert releases once reviewed as "Jimi Hendrix albums" becoming "Jimi Hendrix Experience albums". To use the "Experience" moniker for releases with Cox & Mitchell may be good for marketing, but confusing to those who associate "Jimi Hendrix Experience" with the original lineup with Redding & Mitchell. For those releases with Cox & Mitchell that use the Experience tag, it may be helpful to include clarification, such as the "Jimi Hendrix Experience with Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell" or such. Any thoughts?

I suspect that we've got two different "experience"s going on here- the original chas chandler incarnation, & the legacy-exploitation by the estate; it probably seems like the most natural thing in the world to janey & co to refer to the whole hendrix 'theme park' business as 'experience', & they don't realise that we close followers of the history of JHE & BoG find it irritating, sloppy, inconsistent & the rest. duncanrmi ( talk) 02:58, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

The present text is inconsistent regarding Hendrix military career. It states that he arrived at Ft. Campbell on November 8 1961 and a letter home Hendrix writes that two weeks later he began Airborne Training. The text says he graduated from Airborne training by January 11 1962. The existing text later states that Hendrix took 8 months to compete Airborne training. This is entirely inconsistent. Prior assignments, including Basic Training, AIT, etc are not part of Airborne training as all soldiers do that. It’s not exclusive to Airborne. It would be more accurate to either indicate how long he was in Airborne school, or write that he completed Airborne training 8 months after enlisting. What’s more, Airborne school is, and was, three weeks. It’s a one-shot deal. If you wash out for anything other than a temporary medical issue (like broken bone or laceration) you cannot ever attempt it again. In other words, no one can possible, ever take 8 months to complete Airborne training. 2603:6000:9840:E07:E83D:379D:C9F1:A626 ( talk) 16:51, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

"Hendrix...lied that he had received a medical discharge after breaking his ankle during his 26th parachute jump.[61][nb 9]"
The source support for him "lying" about his ankle injury seems to be pretty weak. In the major Hendrix documentary "Hear My Train A' Comin'" the medical discharge for a broken ankle is presented as factual. There are other sources that say his military records mention an ankle injury as the reason for his honorable medical discharge. Unless there's conclusive evidence that he lied about the ankle injury, then the most one can say is that some sources say he did have such an injury and others say he lied about it. TheBlinkster ( talk) 07:11, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
Alphonso Johnson [a band mate while Hendrix was in the army] provided additional insight into the case against Private Hendrix: "His friend Billy Cox was getting out soon, and Jimi didn't want to stay in the Army alone, so Jimi said he broke his ankle to get out. Jimi wore a cast for about two weeks after he was out, and then it came off. He faked that one. I used to ask him how it was doing, and he said, 'Oh, just fine." He knew I was teasing him. He'd figured a way to get out and be with Billy. [p. 26]
However, no army records have been produced that indicate that he received or was discharged for any injuries. [Gelfand 2006, p. 32]
