Mitch Mitchell, drummer for the legendary Jimi Hendrix Experience of the 1960s and the group's last surviving member, was found dead in his hotel room early Wednesday. He was 61. A legend from the early days of Rock and Roll... a Master of his craft. Played on all the good albums recorded by arguably the best guitarist of all time...

Lyon2 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2008 It is not from my time Jimi Hendrix , but i must say that i heard some musics from "him", and i agree with him beeing the number one guitarrist of all times, obviously there are others with quite the same quality, but yes, it is not good to know that he was the last of his group and actually died at he "young" age of 61, well, but i consider to be normal for a music group person to die at that age, we all know what makes that happen do we not!?

networker 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2008 The thing is Jimi Hendrix was never amazing technically as a guitarist compared tosay,jazz or Classical guitar players.What he did have though was his ownsound and he was incredibly innovative(Effects usage) and was basicallyway ahead of any other rock players at the time. This is why he is one of theall time greats. r.i.p Mitch Mitchell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDisturbedOne 1 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 He also broke tradition, which made him big too.As for Mitch, the footage from the Montery Music Festival (where Jimi burned his guitar) was on the night before it (ironically) and I thought wow this drummer is good.
