Jimi Hendrix-Forever 27 Club

Jimi Hendrix is probably the best guitarist in the history of rock and roll, he died in London in strange circumstances as you are to discover. Hendrix was another great epitome of Rock and roll, live fast and die young, sex, drugs and rock and roll. His ancestors were Indians, white and black, a  mixture of races that brought to us an incredible artist.                                Jimi Hendrix Club 27

When he was 15, he bought a guitar and started to learn the instrument, he would spend weeks and weeks playing and listening to the radio. He got expelled very soon from school and he decided thereby to become a rock star. As a matter of fact, he is the best electric guitar player ever. In order to avoid jail as he was sentenced to go there he joined the army. He spent one year as a soldier. Jimi Hendrix is also remembered because of his rendition of the American national anthem at Woodstock Festival, there is still not a better version of that anthem.

His way of playing the electric guitar was extraordinary, it is really very difficult (almost impossible) to do all the tricks and imitate what he would do with just an instrument. His death was strange and it is still unclear, although he loved and indeed did drugs above all psychedelic ones like LSD and amphetamines he used not lose control and according to many people the word murder sounds plausible. He left from a party and he was driven to his hotel in Central London, some hours later he appeared dead. However, the original version is that he took too many sleeping pills, he took 9 when the ordinary dose was 1 therefore his body was not able to tolerate such a big dose and he died. Another legend started. Another renowned member of FOREVER 27 CLUB. Purple Haze is one of his most famous songs. One of his performances can be watched right now.

Another rock star for such a selective club. His bands were The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Jimi Hendrix/Band of Gypsies. Moreover,  a lot of work has been published after his dead as he was a prolific artist. Likewise, Jimi Hendrix was the precursor of the electric guitar and the concept Electric Church. Restless nights can be spent now hearing his guitar tricks on the Forever 27 club!!!!
