Just for some perspective, Jimi Hendrix died on September 18, 1970. Led Zeppelin had only been around 22 months and Led Zeppelin III and IV had not been released. Likewise, Hendrix died before the releases of Pink Floydâs Atom Heart Mother, Meddle, or The Dark Side of the Moon, and before Floydâs big stadium tours with light shows.

Most amazing guitarist produced by this planet, however...
If Zepplin didn't redo the old blues tunes by black artists, you'd never know their names today.
Morrison was an unhinged drunk and a boor.
Why would he, even if broke, agree to a bill with the Monkees?
Pink Floyd? Why would he care? Apples and oranges.
What would he think of the shite, tripe and crap of today?
He'd have to be hospitalized...

His criticisms of LZ resonate with me even tho they're in my top 5 fave rock bands. The artists they "borrowed" from got paid eventually, but by then a lot of their lives was already in the past, and they'd deserved to get that money while they were still young. His criticisms of PF made sense at the time. Jim Morrison was certainly a drunken jerk at times. The Monkees were created as a TV band, nothing much should be expected of them, their biggest hits were written by others.

I visited Jimi, at the time in LA's history that he lived in the Afton aparments and before I went to Vietnam.. Some of his friends called him Marshal Dillon, kind of after Gunsmoke. James Marshal Hendrix. Anyway as we sat in his living room he played. I could of swore he was playing like voices almost making his guitar sound like it was talking. He was that GOOD. I never saw him again and sadly he came to a tragic end.

I can see why Jimi dismissed Morrison. Jimi was a stoner and a peacenik, Morrison was a drunk, and drunks can get really obnoxious, violent, and embarrassing. The fact is, though, that Jimi was clearly heavily influenced by the blues â âVoodoo Childâ is a rewrite of Son Houseâs â Death Letter Blues,â for example â and such modern jazz people as Wes Montgomery, Larry Coryell, Sandy Bull, and John McLaughlin. When Morrison could get temporarily sober, The Doors were equally professional and sophisticated, which is why their music is still fresh and valid.

Hendrix spent more time praising and welcoming musicians than he did crapping all over them. So I think a lot of what is put together here is BS.
