In today’s video we’re going to take a look at several bands and even genres of music rock legend Jimi Hendrix didn’t count himself a fan of.

Jimi Hendrix didn’t hide his feelings about one of rock n’ roll’s most prolific and controversial band’s Led Zeppelin. The musician thought that the high praise of Zeppelin wasn’t warranted given that in his and many people’s opinion, they weren’t very original. Even to this day, led Zeppelin has been frequently accused of stealing music from other artists without properly crediting them - you might remember the .

Vanilla Fude drummer Carmine Appce would recall in a 2006 interview a conversation he had with jimi hendrix, recalling“Jimi Hendrix personally told me that he didn’t like Zeppelin because they were like excess baggage and that they stole from everybody. ‘You Shook Me’ was on Jeff Beck’s record. ‘Dazed and Confused’ has a bit of Vanilla Fudge on it and it has parts of ‘Beck’s Bolero’ in it. I think I was told by a member of the band that the ‘Good Times Bad Times’ riff came from Tim Bogart’s bass line.”

Despite Hendrix criticizing Led Zeppelin he would praise drummer John Bonham with Zeppelin’s frotman Robert Plant recalling “I remember Hendrix coming up to Bonzo at a club in New York,” “And in those days everybody used to jam. It was a place called Steve Paul’s Scene. It was Buddy Miles and Hendrix and [Jeff] Beck. There was loads of us. Me, Rod Stewart, people all over the place.”

He added: “[Hendrix] came up to Bonzo and he said, ‘You know what? You got a foot like a rabbit.’ Hendrix would however praise Jimmy pae calling him a great guitarist, but the pair never got a chance to jam together with Jimmy Page telling an interviewer “I never saw him play, either. I’m really, really upset with myself for never seeing him. I really wanted to hear him.”


Pink Floyd

It maybe surprising given that Hendrix and Pink Floyd’s music were often lumped in together as being psychedelic rock, but Hendrix didn’t count himself a fan of Pink Floyd’s music, at least initially. The jimi hendrix experience would tour with pink floyd in the UK as part of a package tour in 1967.

However, it seemed like his opinion of the band would change over time. The 2012 book Hendrix on Hendrix which contains an extensive collection of his interviews, including some obscure one’s see’s the musician asked in January of 1967 about the up and coming psychedelic scene. He would respond

“When these cats say, ‘Look at the band — they’re playing psychedelic music!’ and all they’re really doing is flashing lights and playing ‘Johnny B. Goode’ with the wrong chords … it’s terrible.” The interviewer would ask Henrix if he saw pink floyd play and he’d respond
“I’ve heard they have beautiful lights but they don’t sound like nothing,” He would stress in a separate interview he didn’t want to be lumped in with what the press labeled as psychedelic or hippie music adding “It bothers us because ‘psychedelic’ only means mind-expansion anyway, “I can’t hear one single word the Pink Floyd are saying,”

Fast forward a few years years later to the summer of 1970, a month or so before Hendrix’s death, He gave an interview where he seemed to change his tune on pink floyd telling melody maker about the future of his music reveaing

“With the music, we will paint pictures of earth and space, so that the listener can be taken somewhere,” adding “People like you to blow their minds,”But we are going to give them something that will blow their mind […]. It will be druggy music. I agree it could be something on similar lines to what Pink Floyd are tackling. They don’t know it, but people like Pink Floyd are the mad scientists of this day and age.”

Jim Morrison

Jimi Hendrix would meet awkwardly share the stage with The Doors frontman Jim Morrison twice and both instances didn’t go well. The first would be in new york at a club called the scene in march of 1968. Also at the club that night was janis joplin. Hend
