Talk:Jimi Hendrix

Typo

There is an incomplete sentence in the 4th paragraph of First Recordings.22yearswothanks (talk) 16:34, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Hmmm, I don't see one; which paragraph/sentence are you talking about? Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 16:40, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

The second sentence in the 4th paragraph seems to be missing something just before the comma: "played with the Turners briefly before returning to the, but there is no firm evidence to support this." Also later in the section it is a little confusing by not making clear that Randy California is the nickname of one of the members of The Blue Flames.22yearswothanks (talk) 17:40, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

New Jimi Hendrix Music

If you were hoping to hear some never released songs from Jimi Hendrix you are in luck. There is a song called “Somewhere” that was released by Hendrix just last night (1/9). Also get this, it’s all part of a new album called “People, Hell and Angels” that will be released on March 5th. WODZ out of Utica has the full story, and the song. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.103.166.18 (talk) 11:42, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Genealogy and Childhood says that his paternal grandmother Nora was the offspring of a Cherokee woman and a man of Irish descent. The photo of Nora (with husband) on the right is clearly the photo of a woman who is at least partially of African descent. Something is obviously incorrect. If that is indeed Nora's picture, and if historical records have her as being half-Native American and half-white, I understand that you are relaying the facts as they have been documented. However I think it is worth the time and effort to confirm that this is Nora's picture, and if so, research whether there is anything published anywhere about doubts or uncertainty over Nora's lineage. Afterall if ancestry is important enough to include it in the article, then the ancestry should be as correct as possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.63.6.36 (talk) 02:46, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Good eye 173.63.6.36. Thanks for the catch. A generation had been missed, which I've now added. Thanks again. GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 03:41, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Album release dates

I thought it would be helpful to put the album release dates right in this article to save some time. Like it calls Axis: Bold as Love His "2nd 1967 album release" but it doesn't give the exact date. And Are You Experienced? says "First released in the UK in May 1967" instead of with the day of the month too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.246.39.156 (talk) 06:30, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Objectivity

The statement 'he is widely considered the greatest electric guitarist in the history of popular music' is questionable. I don't know of many artists in popular music who are 'widely considered the greatest in history'. To say 'he is widely considered to be among the most influential guitarists in the history of popular music' might have been more objective.

Edit request on 3 March 2013

With regard to the sentence: "His paternal great-grandmother Zenora was a full-blooded Cherokee from Georgia who married an Irishman named Moore. They had a son Robert, who married a black girl named Fanny. In 1883, Robert and Fanny had a daughter whom they named Zenora "Nora" Rose Moore, Hendrix's paternal grandmother."

However, Zenora (the full-blooded Cherokee) would be Jimi's GREAT-GREAT-grandmother, whereas you show GREAT-grandmother. No sources needed, just go backwards from Jimi. 71.188.17.184 (talk) 21:57, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

First recordings

In the penultimate, poorly written paragraph, there is no connection from Randy Wolfe to Randy California. There were two Randys with Jimi, Palmer and Wolfe. Jimi dubbed Wolfe, California and Palmer another state name which I don't remember. If you can find Palmer's 'state' name, you could rewrite the paragraph and make it clearer.Dcrasno (talk) 20:52, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
