Members 1001gear Posted October 31, 2014 Members Share Posted October 31, 2014 The actor looks just like 'im but doesn't sound right. Won't see it till it's free.

Members catscurlyear Posted October 31, 2014 Author Members Share Posted October 31, 2014 i`ve seen it, i liked Andre 2000 as Hendrix ,apart from when he was miming the guitar ,and the soundtrack was a little weak it didn`t reflect how awesome Hendrix must have sounded back then.

Members catscurlyear Posted November 1, 2014 Author Members Share Posted November 1, 2014 it kind of paints Keef in a bad light,Keef was in a relationship with Linda Keith and Linda Keith was trying to get Jimi a record deal and hanging out with him getting stoned and wot not and giving jimi is first acid experience ,when keef learned of this Keef runs off to linda keiths dad and accuses Jimi of being a drug addict (ironic)and begging with her dad to go get her back. .and when "Jimi kills God" Claptons reaction is funny.

Members Karma1 Posted November 1, 2014 Members Share Posted November 1, 2014 Let me preface by saying I have been a huge Hendrix fan since his first album came out in the 60's and he has been a major influence on my guitar playing and creativity. With regard to the movie, there were some things I liked about it and some I didn't. Overall, I have to say I was a bit disappointed. Like others, I missed hearing Jimi's actual music, although I thought that Waddy Wachtel did a nice job of emulating the style and vibe of his sound. And I thought that as an actor. Andre captured Jimi pretty well, and that the film captured the vibe of the times (I was there.) Although I don't think that the film in general painted the most flattering portrait of Jimi. I wish I had known before I saw it, that it only covered one year of his life before he even recorded his first album. I would have had different expectations. Also, after I saw the film, I did some research online and found extensive writing in response to it from Jimi's ex-girlfriend Kathy Etchingham who is portrayed prominently in the movie. She says that a lot of it is just plain untrue and is fictitious, including the scene where Jimi attacked her. According to her, that never happened. Also that the portrayal of her and Linda Keith is totally inaccurate - that in real life, they were totally the opposite of how they were portrayed. She said that she offered to consult with the film makers in the initial stages, but they rejected her offer and made up a bunch of stuff to fit their story. So who knows what is real and what isn't. Like I said, in my opinion, there were some good things about the film, but overall I was disappointed, especially that it may create a distorted and negative image of Jimi for younger viewers who may not be as familiar to him or experiencing him for the first time via this movie. HIs real contribution to the world of music happened in the time after the movie ended. Not sure why they chose to focus on such a narrow segment of his life. Just my two cents.

Waddy seems like a nice guy ' date='but i would have used someone who is hard core Hendrix like Randy Hanson maybe Frank Marino , Eric Gales .or maybe even this guy whoever he is ,this will blow your mind check out is other Hendrix stuff as well.[video=youtube;UI1hnAbhmzo'] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, as I stated, I thought he did a decent job of it. Randy Hanson would have been perfect. I saw his Hendrix tribute show back in the 70's and it was totally mind-blowing - as close as you could come to seeing the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
