AHAHAHAHA "Beverage Concepts says its nonalcoholic "Liquid Experience" drinks, named for Hendrix's breakthrough album, "Are You Experienced?" will debut in April."That sucks. But wait! That's a great name for a drink spiked with acid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks. But wait! That's a great name for a drink spiked with acid. Hopefully it also mixes well with some type of liquor. Oh...and barbiturates.

Members kittycaster Posted January 24, 2007 Members Share Posted January 24, 2007 Janie, stop it now! Quit doing this. Do you think your brother (step-brother actually) would be down with his name and image plastered all over energy drinks, guitar strings, air fresheners, incense, modeling pedals, {censored}ty ass fuzz, wah, and octave pedals, even Marshall stacks? This is awful. So what other "officially licensed" Hendrix products have y'all run into? The list is probably bigger than we know. I'm guilty of buying a Digitech Experience pedal but that's it.

Members SamJam03 Posted January 24, 2007 Members Share Posted January 24, 2007 "To see his image and the beautiful feelings it has created during my lifetime cheapened by base advertising ... is very disappointing to me," said bassist Michael Balzary, better known as Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Friendly Ranger Posted January 25, 2007 Members Share Posted January 25, 2007 I really like this part (emphasis mine): "Beverage Concepts Chief Executive Josh Glass said his company would honor Hendrix's memory by donating some of the profit from the Liquid Experience to an unidentified music education foundation."

If Henderix were alive today, I doubt he would even be using all this re-issue type Hendrix gear that Fender, Marshall, Dunlop and Digitech are pumping out.
