In Back to the Future, Johnney B Goode was played correctly, just one fret too high. That's not even a movie about guitarists and they got it mostly right.

@@wolfgarthefirst5735 He’s crazy! Not only did he make one of the greatest songs of the 2000s (and of all time), but he was part of one of the greatest hip hop groups producing several hits over the course of one decade. AND he’s an actor.
One of my favorite rappers playing my favorite guitarist playing my favorite song of all time by my favorite band of all time. Utter 'jizz in my pants' moment.
When you watch the original footage, it's incredible how both relaxed and confident Jimi is. He is looking for something with his stagehands, never missing a beat, and nailing the solo portion, all with the Beatles and countless other rock luminaries watching. the re-creation is just hokey.
Paul McCartney spoke about this when I saw him last month on his one on one tour. He said a special shout out to Jimi and said how amazing it is that Hendrix was able to learn this song 2 days after it came out and that he played it so well!!
Not too hard of a chord progression to be honest. Especially for someone with Jimi's skill. I bet it only took him minutes to figure it out. Probably spent more time learning the lyrics than the guitar part.
This is one of those amazing things you never would have predicted. The Experience shows just how versatile they really were hitting it cold minutes before going on stage.
I love this clip. It's odd, it's one of the only recognizable songs in the whole movie, and not a Jimi Hendrix original, but man, this clip is amazing. 'We're in a band.' 'Only if we fuck it up.' Awesome!
Jimi was a sweetie, a very nice guy. I remember him opening at the Saville on a Sunday night, 4th June 1967. Brian Epstein used to rent it when it was usually dark on the Sunday. Jimi opened, the curtains flew back and he came walking forward, playing 'Sgt. Pepper', and it had only been released on the Thursday so that was like the ultimate compliment. It's still obviously a shining memory for me, because I admired him so much anyway, he was so accomplished. To think that that album had meant so much to him as to actually do it by the Sunday night, three days after the release. He must have been so into it, because normally it might take a day for rehearsal and then you might wonder whether you'd put it in, but he just opened with it. It's a pretty major compliment in anyone's book. I put that down as one of the great honours of my career. I mean, I'm sure he wouldn't have thought of it as an honour, I'm sure he thought it was the other way round, but to me that was like a great boost.” - Paul McCartney.
Very warm words from Paul...especially when you consider that Hendrix fooled around with Linda Eastman--before she got together with her future husband!...She "knew" several high-profile Rock stars.
Woah hold up you have a memory from before the Civil rights act passed. Holy shit, you knew a world where jimi wasn't even considered a full citizen. That's crazy.
@@camc5483 wrong. It's sad that your brain works like that. Jimi had not a mean bone in his body, especially towards the Beatles who helped Jimi become successful in London and in America.
firstly, this is a live show. you can play whatever the heck u want from other artists as long as u don’t put it on a track and sell it as yours. secondly, hell yes there was lawyers and greedy label execs. anyone could tribute, but how closely you wanted to do it was the difference between yours and theirs. george harrison accidentally made his song sound a bit like the robettes(i think it was?) a few years later and was sued to all hell.
@@halloweenjean it's not that he made his song sound a bit like The Chiffons, the problem is that he wrote the exact same song just with different lyrics. He didn't know it already existed, and the resulting accusations made him kinda depressed and avoid writing new songs.
I "experienced " Jimi and the Experience August of 1968 in Chicago. I still remember the show. He played a couple songs and barley moved... other than his hands. Then the drugs kicked in and he flew up into the air and the SHOW was on...
I love this story. It's incredible, the balls it takes to go out there and cover a song, that just came out, while the artists were in the audience. And they just absolutely killed it. I remember hearing how excited Paul was to see what they did to it. They all saw it as an honor. What makes me sad is that Hendrix had to go to Europe to be able to perform and build up a name, because the only clubs in America he could play at were black only clubs. The Beatles were actually ahead of their time by refusing to perform in any segregated club. And holy shit Andre looks like Jimi!
Well I suppose someone had to come in a make a whinny political stand on the unfairness of America....again. BOO HOO! Seems that makes it's way into everything today. If I could I'd hand you a tissue. Might want to check your facts first though. Jimi's audience was mostly White. He WAS NOT playing only in "Black" only venues. Before going solo he did back up work for some big MOTOWN acts and that likely saw him playing to most black audiences in the sort of venues you are imagining but his solo stuff was about a million miles away from Motown and squarely in the venues where the hard rock that was popular with young White Baby Boomers was happening. Jimi's audience were the same "kids" that went to see Cream, the Yardbirds and other bands with White Guitarists playing hard rock in the late sixties. The segregation you want to believe was happening.......WASN'T!
To his dying day, the whole world said Jimi was the best guitarist ever, but Jimi always maintained that Eric Clapton was the best guitar player ever. I think we all know who truly takes the cake. RIP Jimi!!
Andre did more than a fantastic job of this with hard work and extensive intense guitar lessons from a person who knew Hendrix style inside out . NO HATE 3 STACKS!!! AWESOME JOB!!! YOU LOOK AND MOVED LIKE HIM TOO!!! OUTSTANDING!!!
Jimi had a helluva lot of Swag. He played Sgt. Pepper in his style and made it Acid rock. Macca was in the audience and was impressed with the performance. True Story!
My parents had the Sgt Peppers Album, I remember it vividly, my favorite song was When I'm 64.. I'll never forget dancing to that as a child over 30 years ago! The Beatles were/are the best.. I'm currently waiting for a Led Zeppelin biopic
It always amazes me when I watch Jimi play, no matter how many times I watch him. This actor did one heck of a good job portraying Hendrix. He’s performance is almost as mesmerizing as the real Jimi.
Amazed to see this after all these years. went to see jimi on the saturday night i think at the califoria ballroom . He played this all night. what a night.
@@mejjandungu3888 it isn't 100% sure, but one theory suggests he OD'd on drugs and either asphyxiated and intoxicated with his own vomit or had a pulmonary emphysema and died shortly after. rip hendrix, to me he was the best artist of all time.
@@SHTTRRALTY That's not a theory, it's literally confirmed everywhere. He did OD, and I'm not surpirsed considering how much he did drugs. That man needed Jesus in his life. Drugs killed his poor soul.
Stevie Ray, Slash, Billy Gibbons, BB King, Gary Moore, Brian May... ”of all time” you are saying Clapton is better than all of them. Can’t agree that he’s better than JP of Zeppelin or Stevie Ray. Hell, I can’t say he’s better than Brian May, Slash or even Billy Gibbons. He’a different, but better? Eh...
0:39 Weird, it looks like they modified the Sgt Pepper cover, the suit colors are not correct. I wonder if they had an issue using the original likenesses or something.
Devon Byrne it is reversed, but the uniform colors are still wrong. In order it should be lime green, pink, sky blue, and red-orange (and then mirror that). However, the album shown is sky blue, red-orange, green, and blue. 2 colors right, but none of them in the right place (regular or reversed)
I thought the white guy at the start was suppose to be Paul McCartney I thought thats bad casting..then I realised it was Chas Chandler..to be fair he looked a bit like him.. just not as pretty
Ah! I thought it was meant to be Paul McCartney too! Thanks for pointing that out. And thanks to Google, I now know Chas Chandler wasn't half of Chas & Dave.
I love how every documentary or biopic on hendrix is about a completely different person. It's like he was never really what any of us thought he was. I could say the same about all of these Prince books. Not one of them is really about the same guy.
When I was a teenager I read every Hendrix biography I could get my hands on and they were all different and painted both good and bad pictures. I'll never know what is real for sure.
It’s strange because a couple guys have given strong performances as Jimi but they just can’t seem to write a story that is interesting and engaging. Everyone seems so focused on recreating the same six or seven “Legend of Jimi Hendrix” stories that have been told to death. I’m sure theres a good script out there somewhere.
True story! I got to hear Paul re-tell the story to me last night at his concert, Jimi was playing on a vibrato stereo system. Back in the day playing such a “nasty” guitar solo on vibrato would throw your guitar out of tune. Sgt. Peppers was is opening song though! So after the song he looked out and said, “Is Eric Clapton out there? Can you get up here and tune this thing?”
Andre 3000 gave one hell of a performance! Jimi had some big hands to imitate and a Godlike Guitar Legacy to follow! With all of the inaccuracies of this movie, I am satisfied with phenomenal acting Andre 3000 demonstrated for us on the Big Screen! Thank you Andre 3000, for getting this role as right as you could humanly do; and thank you Jimi Hendrix for blessing our souls and ears with your Psychadelic Gypsy Blues Guitar sermons from the pulpits of the Electric Church!
Man Andre 3000 did an amazing job playing Jimi. He looks like him, he's got the voice and the way of speaking down just right. It sucks that they couldn't make the movie a full biopic with Hendrix's own music. Andre would have won an Oscar for it I'm sure!
The greatest testament to Jimi has to be how completely floored every single British musician was by him. Remember, in 1967, these cats owned the rock 'n roll world. They were already legends and went on to become even bigger...and yet, to this day, they still talk about how shocked they were when Hendrix came out of nowhere and turned them into lifelong, enduring fans. Rick Wakeman probably has the best story about this. On the American side of the pond, it's probably how much Frank Zappa--a guy who did not lavish praise on anyone, except his R & B heroes and bands like Gentle Giant--genuinely liked Jimi. I was 9 years old when Hendrix died, by which time (thanks to my older brother) I was also a huge fan. I see things today where current musicians say that he was overrated and "sloppy," etc, but these people just do not understand what it was like when Jimi burst on the scene, in much the same way that they do not understand or appreciate Zappa, Steppenwolf or the Vanilla Fudge. (Not to mention Gentle Giant, who were the most creative and original band of the glorious 70s...)
The record that he puts on to the record player is namely called a bone, its used to print records that we buy today. That bone would be priceless today 🤘
Andre3000 was the right choice over all but man would that he 1) had a decent script and 2) knew how to at least grab the basics of guitar - enough to mimic the placement of the hands on the neck relevant to the song being represented. as well , yes that flying V sure has a fender sound.
I'd rather they cast an unknown than Andre 3000. I don't deny he put a lot of effort into getting into Jimi's character, but watching this just feels so fake. This is not good acting. But maybe it's the director's fault more than anything.
If you're talking about the movie, my guess is that the production was kinda sloppy at times so people would lose interest in it... That being said, Andre 3000 did a great job impersonating Jimi and nailing down everything from his looks to his swag.
Jimi Hendrix is the greatest influence guitarist of all time whether with The Jimi Hendrix Experience or Band of Gypsy( Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Miles, Billy Cox) 🔥🔥🔥🥰
I grew up in rural Indiana and started listening to Jimi in '90. I did not fit in but I just ignored everyone and did my thing. That was 7th grade. By 12th (it was a jr sr highschool) everyone was listening to it.
Prince comes a very close second to Jimi. May both legends R.I.P. Seen Prince live 3 times but never seen Jimi. A guy I used to work with went to Woodstock & seen Jimi though. 3 days of mayhem he said.
Andre Benjamin as Jimi Hendrix in "All Is By My Side". To date, it is the best Jimi Hendrix feature length dramatization I have seen. Benjamin does a nice job of getting Hendrix's mannerisms down. The movie's storyline begins with Jimi being brought to the attention of Chas Chandler by Linda Keith. It covers Hendrix's approximately one year of being in London, and ends as Jimi is leaving for his famous American debut at California's Monterey Pop Festival.
Grazie a Dio ..ho avuto la fortuna di ascoltarlo a Roma Teatro Brancaccio e avevo 17 anni x giorni sono rimasto muto ,nella mia vita non ho ascoltato di meglio ,, ogni giorno sempre, sempre, ascolto un brano di Hendrix ❤❤❤❤
When I was watching this I thought it was a Peter Jackson out take for the Get Back video and realized from the comments this was a movie. This was a phenomenal acting and sounds like they were actually performance and Andre 3000 absolutely phenomenal. The actor on the bass looked very cool and reminded me when musicians were cool by the way they moved. They felt the music . Amazing!!!
What's most impressive, behind Andre Benjamin's stunningly accurate portrayal, is the fact that the Hendrix family did NOT approve of this film, thus, they were unable to use any of Jimi's actual music. That in itself was a huge accomplishment.
The Hendix Estate is very greedy with his music, & I don't mean money wise necessarily. There is a ton of Jimi's material that doesn't see the light of day, constantly have some his tunes yanked off of youtube. I have so much rare material of his on cassette, can't find digital versions of most of it anywhere. It's so very sad...
Guitarristas Fantásticos Incríveis: Neil Young Eric Clapton Joe Bonamassa David Gilmour Jimi Page e muitos outros porém James Marshall Hendrix ainda é e será o melhor de todos os tempos...
Paul McCartney told he was really surprised because Jimi Hendrix learnt to play the song very quickly. Sgt. Pepper’s was released on Friday and that concert was on Sunday.

One of my favorite rappers playing my favorite guitarist playing my favorite song of all time by my favorite band of all time. Utter 'jizz in my pants' moment.
When you watch the original footage, it's incredible how both relaxed and confident Jimi is. He is looking for something with his stagehands, never missing a beat, and nailing the solo portion, all with the Beatles and countless other rock luminaries watching. the re-creation is just hokey.
Any guitar player knows this about him, he could play in his sleep
This performance was never recorded, the footage you are referring to is of a later performance.
@@Kawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Yes, this is of a performance 6 months after the one recreated here
He's looking for a replacement guitar pick, since he dropped it when he threw away his cigarette?
Came out with a cig in his mouth and threw it aside. Then I think he dropped a pick and was asking for another one while ripping a one-handed solo.
Paul McCartney spoke about this when I saw him last month on his one on one tour. He said a special shout out to Jimi and said how amazing it is that Hendrix was able to learn this song 2 days after it came out and that he played it so well!!
Not too hard of a chord progression to be honest. Especially for someone with Jimi's skill. I bet it only took him minutes to figure it out. Probably spent more time learning the lyrics than the guitar part.
Jimi did way better on this song, the Beatles version is so simply
@@Leo-vt5lm Simply simple spelling. 🤣
@@rtanidean4931 what you mean? English isnt even my primary languague, i dont care spell properly
@@Leo-vt5lm I mean you are doing great! Thank you. Have a great week. 😊💚
This is one of those amazing things you never would have predicted. The Experience shows just how versatile they really were hitting it cold minutes before going on stage.
Hendrix was a badass, I am to young to have met him but you're never to young to experience the experience
I love this clip. It's odd, it's one of the only recognizable songs in the whole movie, and not a Jimi Hendrix original, but man, this clip is amazing. 'We're in a band.' 'Only if we fuck it up.' Awesome!
Jimi was a sweetie, a very nice guy. I remember him opening at the Saville on a Sunday night, 4th June 1967. Brian Epstein used to rent it when it was usually dark on the Sunday. Jimi opened, the curtains flew back and he came walking forward, playing 'Sgt. Pepper', and it had only been released on the Thursday so that was like the ultimate compliment. It's still obviously a shining memory for me, because I admired him so much anyway, he was so accomplished. To think that that album had meant so much to him as to actually do it by the Sunday night, three days after the release. He must have been so into it, because normally it might take a day for rehearsal and then you might wonder whether you'd put it in, but he just opened with it. It's a pretty major compliment in anyone's book. I put that down as one of the great honours of my career. I mean, I'm sure he wouldn't have thought of it as an honour, I'm sure he thought it was the other way round, but to me that was like a great boost.” - Paul McCartney.
My understanding was that Epstein actually owned the lease of the theatre.
Very warm words from Paul...especially when you consider that Hendrix fooled around with Linda Eastman--before she got together with her future husband!...She "knew" several high-profile Rock stars.
Woah hold up you have a memory from before the Civil rights act passed. Holy shit, you knew a world where jimi wasn't even considered a full citizen. That's crazy.
Jimi honored Paul and the boys because they helped him so much in London and Paul arranged for Jimis conquest of America at the Monterey Pop Festival.
@@camc5483 wrong. It's sad that your brain works like that. Jimi had not a mean bone in his body, especially towards the Beatles who helped Jimi become successful in London and in America.
Andre had me actually thinking he was Hendrix for a moment. Nice! Still want to see this...
In the days when you could pay tribute to greatness without lawyers or greedy label executives - just enjoy the music - and share it to the crowds!
Lawyers and greedy label executives have always been around lol
@@haakonlien7107 Yes but, I will sue you or I will see you in court
was not in the mainstream vocabulary just yet.
@@deanl0 buddy yes it was
firstly, this is a live show. you can play whatever the heck u want from other artists as long as u don’t put it on a track and sell it as yours. secondly, hell yes there was lawyers and greedy label execs. anyone could tribute, but how closely you wanted to do it was the difference between yours and theirs. george harrison accidentally made his song sound a bit like the robettes(i think it was?) a few years later and was sued to all hell.
@@halloweenjean it's not that he made his song sound a bit like The Chiffons, the problem is that he wrote the exact same song just with different lyrics. He didn't know it already existed, and the resulting accusations made him kinda depressed and avoid writing new songs.
Damn, the amount of times that he takes his hands off of the guitar but it he still plays is nuts. Psychic powers
I "experienced " Jimi and the Experience August of 1968 in Chicago. I still remember the show. He played a couple songs and barley moved... other than his hands. Then the drugs kicked in and he flew up into the air and the SHOW was on...
Greg Hartman and he died cause og drugs
But he really lived while he was here
Nostre38 They were sleeping pills
Nostre38 depressants. Sleeping pills.
ActuallyDavid u believe every thing your hear? {Smh}
I love this story. It's incredible, the balls it takes to go out there and cover a song, that just came out, while the artists were in the audience. And they just absolutely killed it. I remember hearing how excited Paul was to see what they did to it. They all saw it as an honor.
What makes me sad is that Hendrix had to go to Europe to be able to perform and build up a name, because the only clubs in America he could play at were black only clubs. The Beatles were actually ahead of their time by refusing to perform in any segregated club.
And holy shit Andre looks like Jimi!
I agree!
That guy's portrayal of Jimi Hendrix is an insult to Jimi hendrix. Somebody just wanted to make money from making a movie about Jimi hendrix.
Oh really does it make you sad or are you just full of shit?
False, I saw him at a club (Cafe Wha?) in NYC in 1966. Fully integrated. Stop rewriting history.
Well I suppose someone had to come in a make a whinny political stand on the unfairness of America....again. BOO HOO! Seems that makes it's way into everything today. If I could I'd hand you a tissue. Might want to check your facts first though. Jimi's audience was mostly White. He WAS NOT playing only in "Black" only venues. Before going solo he did back up work for some big MOTOWN acts and that likely saw him playing to most black audiences in the sort of venues you are imagining but his solo stuff was about a million miles away from Motown and squarely in the venues where the hard rock that was popular with young White Baby Boomers was happening. Jimi's audience were the same "kids" that went to see Cream, the Yardbirds and other bands with White Guitarists playing hard rock in the late sixties. The segregation you want to believe was happening.......WASN'T!
To his dying day, the whole world said Jimi was the best guitarist ever, but Jimi always maintained that Eric Clapton was the best guitar player ever. I think we all know who truly takes the cake. RIP Jimi!!
I think he said Rory Gallagher was the best in an interview. Regardless, humble cat.
and Eric said ... ask Prince for guitar playing HAHAHAH ..all greats ...Eric, Jimmy
Neither were/are.
Music is not a competition....not sure how many times I have to say it
@@tefenstrat Oh no, it is a competition. Hendrix won.
Did anyone hear at 2:05 “I broke my nose”??? 😂😂
Yes
I DID AHAHAHAHAHA
Lmao
Get him a tissue or something.
HOW THE FUCKK DID YOU EVEN PAY ATTENTION TO EVEN bruh bruhhh...unbelievable
The Beatles in the audience: wow he's actually good
Bad interpretation. All of the other greats at the time knew Jimi was the guitar god when they saw him. No “actually” about it.
@@futurereflections4097 bruh
Andre did more than a fantastic job of this with hard work and extensive intense guitar lessons from a person who knew Hendrix style inside out . NO HATE 3 STACKS!!! AWESOME JOB!!! YOU LOOK AND MOVED LIKE HIM TOO!!! OUTSTANDING!!!
its not him playing the parts however
You're on crack son
WOW, I'm late to the party, I need to see this movie, the dude playing Hendrix looks like he crushed it
The movie sucks, but Andre 3000 was killer and really gave it his all.
''Music doesn't lie.
If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.''
~J.H.
Jimi had a helluva lot of Swag.
He played Sgt. Pepper in his style and made it Acid rock. Macca was in the audience and was impressed with the performance. True Story!
Yo, Andre 3000 should’ve gotten a frickin’ Oscar for playing Jimi Hendrix!!!! He was GREAT!!!🤩👍🎸
The should have got billy shears to play Paul
@@perryjimenez5629 no he isnt
@Young Rover I got what you meant
Do you even know who that is
Marshall Banzet j.r Faul
@@mershgang7349 it's fucking Ringo, I don't know how people still think Paul is dead
"It was 20 years ago today Sgt Pepper taught the band to play"
It's a shame he also never taught Andre 3000 to mime to the guitar
SofaKing What The only person who could realistically mime Hendrix was Prince.
Prince? Ha ha not even close.
The only one that comes somewhat close would be, Randy Hansen. Check him out...
very very difficult to go leftie if he wasnt already (i assume)
@@superteach232 I think mime is an understatement. Prince could play like Jimi Hendrix.
I started young...I saw Hendrix at the Fillmore East NYC..January 1 1970...I was 10...
My parents had the Sgt Peppers Album, I remember it vividly, my favorite song was When I'm 64.. I'll never forget dancing to that as a child over 30 years ago! The Beatles were/are the best.. I'm currently waiting for a Led Zeppelin biopic
It always amazes me when I watch Jimi play, no matter how many times I watch him.
This actor did one heck of a good job portraying Hendrix.
He’s performance is almost as mesmerizing as the real Jimi.
He really looked like Hendrix...but overall, the music and the script kinda sucked.
that dude does a pretty great jimi impression hey
@@finnhoffman hey hey hey wouldn’t that only be fair if they were both rappers? They’re both in their own places
What a rush! The excitement, the spontaneity, the showmanship!
Amazed to see this after all these years. went to see jimi on the saturday night i think at the califoria ballroom . He played this all night. what a night.
Jimi Hendrix is a legend who's music will never cease to be revered. I felt the same way in high school as I do now at the age of 55.
I'm beginning to suspect that wasn't really Jimi Hendrix!
He doesn't, genius!
Mr.Dioneo Noooooooo!
The real Jimi wasn't available when this movie was made, being deceased at the time.
anrez “sarcasm”
@Mr Dioneo
You catch on fast 😁
There was and will always only be one Jimi Hendrix.
Quite astounding....as usual
What was the cause of his death?
@@mejjandungu3888 it isn't 100% sure, but one theory suggests he OD'd on drugs and either asphyxiated and intoxicated with his own vomit or had a pulmonary emphysema and died shortly after. rip hendrix, to me he was the best artist of all time.
@@SHTTRRALTY That's not a theory, it's literally confirmed everywhere. He did OD, and I'm not surpirsed considering how much he did drugs. That man needed Jesus in his life. Drugs killed his poor soul.
I like his music, but the man, Jimi, I love. He was the most humble, beautiful person to ever live in the rockin' world.
Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix are hands down the best and most legendary guitarists ever to grace the earth
Page was pretty fucking great too
@@champmeister SRV
Justin bieber plays left handed guitar too. Don't forget.
Stevie Ray, Slash, Billy Gibbons, BB King, Gary Moore, Brian May... ”of all time” you are saying Clapton is better than all of them. Can’t agree that he’s better than JP of Zeppelin or Stevie Ray. Hell, I can’t say he’s better than Brian May, Slash or even Billy Gibbons. He’a different, but better? Eh...
@@kingbunny9141 what about peter green? Or rory gallagher?
0:39
Weird, it looks like they modified the Sgt Pepper cover, the suit colors are not correct. I wonder if they had an issue using the original likenesses or something.
it also looks like they fudged the "BEATLES" flower arrangement at the bottom. It looks like it's been edited digitally
LarryInc64 it’s just fucking reversed
Devon Byrne it is reversed, but the uniform colors are still wrong. In order it should be lime green, pink, sky blue, and red-orange (and then mirror that). However, the album shown is sky blue, red-orange, green, and blue. 2 colors right, but none of them in the right place (regular or reversed)
That's also why they didnt have a lot of his more famous songs in the movie
That's probably why this movie didn't receive any Oscar nominations.
It’s crazy how much he looks and sounds like him
Rest in B1ack power Jimi
1:26 looks like Tom Felton in the audience
"and and I'm gonna do a solo after the first verse..." haha
I thought the white guy at the start was suppose to be Paul McCartney I thought thats bad casting..then I realised it was Chas Chandler..to be fair he looked a bit like him.. just not as pretty
Ah! I thought it was meant to be Paul McCartney too! Thanks for pointing that out. And thanks to Google, I now know Chas Chandler wasn't half of Chas & Dave.
Andre 3000 deserves homage for this! No one could of played Jimi better
Omg I saw the thumb of this and thought 'dang, Jimi Hendrix looked a lot like Andre 3k' lol
I love how every documentary or biopic on hendrix is about a completely different person. It's like he was never really what any of us thought he was. I could say the same about all of these Prince books. Not one of them is really about the same guy.
Become big enough, and you stop being just a person. You become a symbol, and no two people can see a symbol the exact same way.
When I was a teenager I read every Hendrix biography I could get my hands on and they were all different and painted both good and bad pictures. I'll never know what is real for sure.
Gotta take the truths scattered across the world that Hendrix left and piece them together yourself, then you'll be experienced ✌❤
It’s strange because a couple guys have given strong performances as Jimi but they just can’t seem to write a story that is interesting and engaging. Everyone seems so focused on recreating the same six or seven “Legend of Jimi Hendrix” stories that have been told to death. I’m sure theres a good script out there somewhere.
Lol
The Bible
Haven't seen this movie, but by the clip, seems Andre did a great job capturing the essence of Jimi.
Not at all. Nobody can capture the essence of Jimi Hendrix but Jimi Hendrix. Wherever he is now
That guy nailed the Jimi Hendrix act
RIP this genius..so talented and visionnary..he helped me so much in my life with his music..many thks David..❤❤
True story! I got to hear Paul re-tell the story to me last night at his concert, Jimi was playing on a vibrato stereo system. Back in the day playing such a “nasty” guitar solo on vibrato would throw your guitar out of tune. Sgt. Peppers was is opening song though! So after the song he looked out and said, “Is Eric Clapton out there? Can you get up here and tune this thing?”
of course Hendrix couldn't tune his own guitar. it was quite a hindrance throughout his career.
Andre 3000 gave one hell of a performance! Jimi had some big hands to imitate and a Godlike Guitar Legacy to follow! With all of the inaccuracies of this movie, I am satisfied with phenomenal acting Andre 3000 demonstrated for us on the Big Screen! Thank you Andre 3000, for getting this role as right as you could humanly do; and thank you Jimi Hendrix for blessing our souls and ears with your Psychadelic Gypsy Blues Guitar sermons from the pulpits of the Electric Church!
Nice comment but I don't agree with you. I think of the moves not the looks.
Which movie is this???????? Andre 3k??? WTF??
@@wolfgangzrx All is by my side is the name of the movie.
Man Andre 3000 did an amazing job playing Jimi. He looks like him, he's got the voice and the way of speaking down just right. It sucks that they couldn't make the movie a full biopic with Hendrix's own music. Andre would have won an Oscar for it I'm sure!
Had no idea this movie existed! Jimi was the man!
2:35 his vocals sounds like "castles made of sand".
The greatest testament to Jimi has to be how completely floored every single British musician was by him. Remember, in 1967, these cats owned the rock 'n roll world. They were already legends and went on to become even bigger...and yet, to this day, they still talk about how shocked they were when Hendrix came out of nowhere and turned them into lifelong, enduring fans. Rick Wakeman probably has the best story about this. On the American side of the pond, it's probably how much Frank Zappa--a guy who did not lavish praise on anyone, except his R & B heroes and bands like Gentle Giant--genuinely liked Jimi. I was 9 years old when Hendrix died, by which time (thanks to my older brother) I was also a huge fan. I see things today where current musicians say that he was overrated and "sloppy," etc, but these people just do not understand what it was like when Jimi burst on the scene, in much the same way that they do not understand or appreciate Zappa, Steppenwolf or the Vanilla Fudge. (Not to mention Gentle Giant, who were the most creative and original band of the glorious 70s...)
*Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band*
What a nice footage for a 60's concert!
The record that he puts on to the record player is namely called a bone, its used to print records that we buy today. That bone would be priceless today 🤘
Any movie about Hendrix sucks but this is the best one so far. Jimi was unreal. no movie can capture what he was.
larkyleroy I preferred 'Hendrix'. The acting wasn't great but it covered more of his life from beginning to end fairly accurately.
I prefer just watching footage of Hendrix himself ;)
Andre3000 was the right choice over all but man would that he 1) had a decent script and 2) knew how to at least grab the basics of guitar - enough to mimic the placement of the hands on the neck relevant to the song being represented. as well , yes that flying V sure has a fender sound.
I'd rather they cast an unknown than Andre 3000. I don't deny he put a lot of effort into getting into Jimi's character, but watching this just feels so fake. This is not good acting. But maybe it's the director's fault more than anything.
Richard Glenn dude what the fuck
Cannot understand why this piece of art has been so underrated...
If you're talking about the movie, my guess is that the production was kinda sloppy at times so people would lose interest in it... That being said, Andre 3000 did a great job impersonating Jimi and nailing down everything from his looks to his swag.
This isn't attempted Recreation not the original and not exactly an accurate representation
@@JeddorianJalapeno appreciate your opinion, but I disagree
Jimi Hendrix is the greatest influence guitarist of all time whether with The Jimi Hendrix Experience or Band of Gypsy( Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Miles, Billy Cox) 🔥🔥🔥🥰
I grew up in rural Indiana and started listening to Jimi in '90. I did not fit in but I just ignored everyone and did my thing. That was 7th grade. By 12th (it was a jr sr highschool) everyone was listening to it.
Thats why jimi is the greatest guitar player ever exist so far.legendary.
Prince comes a very close second to Jimi.
May both legends R.I.P.
Seen Prince live 3 times but never seen Jimi.
A guy I used to work with went to Woodstock & seen Jimi though.
3 days of mayhem he said.
@@beeboy6967prince was great, nowhere near second though
He does a great Jimi. Never heard of this movie.
O cara era um gênio e um "monstro" da guitarra! 😎👍
At the first sight I wondered why the resolution is so good and the sound quality is so alive for 1967.
Andre absolutely nailed his voice.. his mannerisms.. his style and lingo like 😲 perfect choice i gotta tip my hat
Jimi is unbeatable - listened to him since I was 14, and now I am 56...
Florian Wolf - Amen!! I’m 11
Not sure if that's cool or really, really sad :/
auch 56 --dez.?
Wtf is a 56 year old boi doing in CZcams
Crippling Depression Itself there’s no age cap asshole
Andre Benjamin as Jimi Hendrix in "All Is By My Side". To date, it is the best Jimi Hendrix feature length dramatization I have seen. Benjamin does a nice job of getting Hendrix's mannerisms down. The movie's storyline begins with Jimi being brought to the attention of Chas Chandler by Linda Keith. It covers Hendrix's approximately one year of being in London, and ends as Jimi is leaving for his famous American debut at California's Monterey Pop Festival.
it was great to live in those times ......i miss them
Grazie a Dio ..ho avuto la fortuna di ascoltarlo a Roma Teatro Brancaccio e avevo 17 anni x giorni sono rimasto muto ,nella mia vita non ho ascoltato di meglio ,, ogni giorno sempre, sempre, ascolto un brano di Hendrix ❤❤❤❤
Jimi Hendrix was a legend amongst legends...
Never will be anyone like him ever.
When I was watching this I thought it was a Peter Jackson out take for the Get Back video and realized from the comments this was a movie.
This was a phenomenal acting and sounds like they were actually performance and Andre 3000 absolutely phenomenal.
The actor on the bass looked very cool and reminded me when musicians were cool by the way they moved. They felt the music . Amazing!!!
i love this they portray it good his voice and everything
I have never seen this movie or footage from the movie but Andre 3000 definitely did a very good job from what I can see. 🎸☮️😎
So much good music from Jimi. So sad he died so young.
Murdered, is more like it!
Lungs saturated with wine
@@user-qo8ko5sx3eexactly
@@user-qo8ko5sx3e Drugs killed him.
What's most impressive, behind Andre Benjamin's stunningly accurate portrayal, is the fact that the Hendrix family did NOT approve of this film, thus, they were unable to use any of Jimi's actual music. That in itself was a huge accomplishment.
The Hendix Estate is very greedy with his music, & I don't mean money wise necessarily. There is a ton of Jimi's material that doesn't see the light of day, constantly have some his tunes yanked off of youtube. I have so much rare material of his on cassette, can't find digital versions of most of it anywhere. It's so very sad...
Guitarristas Fantásticos Incríveis: Neil Young Eric Clapton Joe Bonamassa David Gilmour Jimi Page e muitos outros porém James Marshall Hendrix ainda é e será o melhor de todos os tempos...
This blasted the foshizzle of that British song..jimmy had magic
Damn he looks just like Jimi..and sounds exactly like him too ..wow!!! 🎸👍🏻
R.I.P jimi one of the best guitarist ever. You was my inspiration for picking up a guitar so many years ago. Thank u
Jimi also performed "Rapper's Delight" in front of The Sugar Hill Gang a week before they recorded the seminal hip hop track
Very Cool! He also gave Beethoven piano less on how to play “Für Elise”
Absolutely fucking brilliant, the ease that he played with and the unique grooves he played are pure genius, Jimi lives on
