I have been a Hendrix fan since I was NINE! That may not sound like a long time, but Axis: Bold As Love was a fairly new album. Do I sound ancient now? I used to listen to it for hours on end. Not really sure how my parents stood it. They were more Mozart and Tchaikovsky lovers.
You do not sound ancient if you like Axis:Bold as Love. Now if we are getting towards like more Mozart or Bach, then you are in the ancient section. Did you see Hendrix perform at Woodstock 1969?
No, I was too young to go to Woodstock (only 9 at the time) and my parents weren’t the type who were inclined to go. One of my dad’s students gave him the album and forced him to listen to it once. I was hooked. I’m sure my parents hated it.
For me, no song calms me more than Jimi’s ‘bold as love’.

I mean Hendrix is good to listen to, but I enjoy other music besides him. I like progressive metal, etc.

I love all kinds of music. I’m a fan of Eric Johnson, by the way. Cliffs of Dover (among the many) 🙂

No problem. It is just sad and stupid at the same time Hendrix decided to use drugs that eventually led him to death.
