it's nice. but drawing a portrait in pastel from a photo is about 100 times easier than drawing from life. Playing a Jimi Hendrix solo on the guitar is not the same as being Jimi Hendrix. Yes I am moaning. No I cannot use pastels as good as this guy and I can't play the guitar. But if i just practiced for enough hours... voila.

Here's a few Sifted clips:

so we we're clear here. The original google account this came from is not mine and if anybody looks at the battle royale death scene montage sift and looks at the comments, they will see a link to the full version of Battle Royale. If they click it and go to the user's other videos they will see a full version of Bad Taste, Ninja Scroll, and what looks like a Jimi Hendrix full concert and Reefer Madness (or something like it.
NOT MY ACCOUNT, but I thought people would like this video.

bwahaha!

damn...happy to oblige!!! Whoa!! Her an Jimi Hendrix shoulda' done an abloom....then had chilluns', and had a family band that would have made th' Jackson's go back to the woodshed!!!

I grew up in a very isolated tiny country town in Louisiana and the only music I knew was country music. One day I found an unmarked cassette tape in my dad's truck and went to my room to listen to it and this was the first song I heard. It really blew me away. I listened to the rest and never knew it was Jimi Hendrix until a few years later. This track introduced me to a whole new world.

I've internalized this as the theme song to my very short first marriage, so maybe it's just meangingful to me because of that, but...incredible harmonies. I do like their stuff after they brought in Neal Young, but this is still my favorite.

They opened their Woodstock set with this, at 3:00am, on the last day then Jimi Hendrix closed the festival next (see below!)...love the bit at the end: "This is the second time we've played in front of people, man, we're scared shitless!"

But Gwaan it's impossible to force people to change , I mean look at Bill Hicks, it took forever for him to break state side even though he spoke sense. And before he got the chance to really say something he was gone. Same with Jimi Hendrix who became popular in Europe before the States.

People. They just ain't ready. Maybe it's education maybe it's something else. All I know is that a certain world view cannot be imprinted on a certain populace. Here's hoping to another time America will hopefully wake up like they did post Vietnam, let's see if it holds up. Something is happening I don't know what, but the process feels energetic.

Robert Leroy Johnson (May 8, 1911 – August 16, 1938) is among the most famous Delta Blues musicians and arguably the most influential. He is an inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Considered by some to be the "Grandfather of Rock-and-Roll," his vocal phrasing, original songs, and guitar style influenced a range of musicians, including Led Zeppelin, The Allman Brothers Band, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Clapton, who called Johnson "the most important blues musician who ever lived."

Of all the great blues musicians, Johnson was probably the most obscure. All that is known of him for certain is that he recorded 29 songs; he died young; and he was considered one of the greatest bluesmen of the Mississippi Delta.

There are five significant dates in Johnson's life: Monday, Thursday and Friday, November 23, 26, and 27, 1936, he was in San Antonio, Texas, at a recording session. Seven months later, on Saturday and Sunday, June 19–20, 1937, he was in Dallas at another session. Everything else about his life is an attempt at reconstruction. Director Martin Scorsese says in his foreword to Alan Greenberg's filmscript Love In Vain: A Vision of Robert Johnson, "The thing about Robert Johnson was that he only existed on his records. He was pure legend."

From YouTube Description:

This clip is a early rough edit of the original biographical Jay Adams scene from the documentary "DogTown and Z-Boys."

Some of the footage is a little different than what ended up in the final film. And the section where Jay's innovations are mentioned does not appear in this early edit.

Includes commentary from Tony Alva, Wentzle Ruml, Bob Biniak, Stacy Peralta, Jim Muir, Shogo Kubo, Nathan Pratt, Skip Engblom, Craig Stecyk, and Glen E. Friedman, as well as Jay Adams himself.

Music from Neil Young and Jimi Hendrix.

For all the old farts in VideoSift

Cass Elliot introduces Scott McKenzie, who performes the classic 'San Francisco' at Monterey 1967. "San Francisco" became a hippie anthem in the United States and was popular around the world. It was played at the Summer of Love in San Francisco.

I feel way older then I am , I love how you get to see Jimi Hendrix and others just chilling!

YAY! Thankyou for saving the late, great Jimi Hendrix from certain oblivion at the end of the queue - WOO! (I owe you one NTB)

Hippies FTW.

Suprising to see the great jimi hendrix do so poorly here.

'Goddamn Hippies'...as Cartman would say. Although you hate them; the best filmed perfomance of Jimi Hendrix to watch will make up for the random clips of hippies.
