Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Child

00:00:01 You're considered one of the best guitar players in the world.

00:03:42 On the whole, my school was pretty relaxed.

00:05:58 I was trying to play like Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry.

00:08:56 This is the outfit where brawn has to match brains

00:12:11 Every time they examined me I'd groan, so they finally believed me.

00:14:59 I learnt an awful lot playing behind all those names every night.

00:17:22 with patent leather shoes and a patent leather hairdo to match.

00:20:42 But when I started listening to the words, that sold me.

00:25:04 But I guess it was necessary to get that visual thing going

00:29:18 The way I write things, they are just a clash between reality and fantasy.

00:34:51 and the rest is painted with a little science fiction.

00:41:39 Everything was perfect and it was such a good feeling

00:44:52 like the first thing I say, "What in the world is she doing here?"

00:47:37 That's where highness came from anyway.

00:50:58 This assumes that you can't be unhappy and have a lot of money.

00:54:52 It is now that I plan to start making real music.

00:57:58 I just wanna do what I'm doing

01:03:53 An experience for Jimi Hendrix retaining

01:05:55 I'm not saying any one is better than the other.

01:10:24 you immediately get a guaranteed percentage of hate mail

01:15:09 We've been recording with my new group, the Band of Gypsys.

01:19:11 It gets contagious.

01:23:29 but I can only freak when I really feel like doing so.

01:26:47 Yeah! Thank you very much for showing up, man.
