Ricky Im glad you brought this up, I am not sure prince might have done something with Hendrix but the one thing that will forever tease me ; think about this (know Jackson has worked with some famous guitarist ,; If Jimi was still alive during the time Michael came out with Thriller , do you think Michael would have asked Jimi to play on this album. I honestly think they would have gotten along
Ricky Im glad you brought this up but I have to say think about this, Michael Jackson has had Eddie Vanhalen, and Slash appear on some of his songs, I have no doubt if Hendrix was still alive , I am sure Michael would have asked him to make an appearence on one of his albums, I think they would have gotten along well, I dont really know if Prince would have asked Jimi though
When Prince says there will never be another Hendrix ...trust him. And we all can say there will never be another Prince... Hope they are jamming there together...just imagine...🙏❤❤❤
One of the things I love about this wonderful man is that he found inspiration from his masters like Jimi and how he had more originality in his work compared to stars nowadays. I also love how his answer isn't egoistic in that way
Even after 30 years, rock critics are still comparing Prince to Hendrix and there's really no comparison cuz every album that Prince made took a totally different turn than the previous one and Prince kept reinventing himself and his image throughout his career.....
People always make comparisons Jimi changed the culture in his short time on earth I love me some Prince but no he is not on Jimi Hendrix level no one is except for Santana and Clapton and even they admitted Jimi was better
They still compare Prince to Michael Jackson and they are two different lanes both great and legendary in their own way people simply love to compare apples to oranges
well, I beg to differ cuz Prince was better than Santana and Clapton as a guitarist and he was on Jimi's level. where Prince was as a guitar player, he was better than Hendrix.
It's maybe not just a coincidence but some kind of harmonious thing that they're similar in appearance? I've always seen the similarities in their music and playing style regardless of skin tone though. Sorry to see Prince found it insulting. Jimi was my idol for a long time but Prince also blows me away when he rips on the guitar.
HONESTLY i like Prince But dont bring up race in this matter Purple rain? Purple Haze Purple house? Red house One can clearly see SOME kind of resemblence, and any guitarist will most likely question a reference. Race didnt have nothing to do with this.
@@dantetorres8350 Jimi Hendrix is perhaps the most influencial guitarist of all time. Both him and Prince had a unique sense of fashion. If you said Purple house IS Red house, then how can people NOT make a comparison. Many non black guitarists get compared to Hendrix all the time.
Martin yeah but hendrix revolutionized what a rhythm guitar should do in rock and roll! i agree jimi wasnt always the best soloist but his rhythm guitar skills were second to none!
I disagree with Prince here. I think his style was in the same bluesy vein as Hendrix, in fact i hear it every time i see a video of Prince's virtuoso guitar playing. But i think it must be said that Prince took that style and put it on a whole new level. I'm not even a fan of Prince's music, but to me he is one of the top 5 guitarists of all time, above Jimi.
Watch 4 mins 58 seconds of Jimis voodoo child at Woodstock right here on utube... Hendrix took it to a whole level above Prince... SRV... Slash Bonamasa etc
Prince is right. You cannot compare Jimi and Prince. Jimi was the G.O.A.T of all G.O.A.T.
Rip the both.
Imagine if Hendrix lived longer wonder if they would’ve made an album together I bet hey would it’d be iconic

@@jukedar I think he would've
@@jukedar The only thing that would turn off Micheal is Jimk's drug use lol. I think the same happened to Freedie Mercury but it's cool to think about
hendrix was cooking some collaboration with miles davis when he entered his bitches brew phase, so totally within the realm of possibility.
When Prince says there will never be another Hendrix ...trust him.
And we all can say there will never be another Prince...
Hope they are jamming there together...just imagine...🙏❤❤❤
The Purple One is very humble with the answer
NEGUS MBARKA yeah to black people he was damn near white...try explaining that to a white person they’d look at you like you were fuckin crazy
@@db4695 Technically half Italian half African American.
Jimi was the original Purple one 🎸🕺🏽
@@pianoninja5276 The funny thing is most guitarists try to master Jimi's mistakes as well. Quoted from the man himself. 😄
@@kevinbrown688 exactly! Like If u hit the wrong note, just bend it till it becomes the right one!! Nobody could do this like Jimi 😂🤣
I love prince but he was giving an understatement about Jimi. Jimi is THEE guitar God. More than just very good
Little bit overrated imo. He's not talking about Jimi's guitar skills, but Jimi as an artist.
Jimi Hendrix was Guitar God That Right He Was Final Album Called Both Of The Sky
One of the things I love about this wonderful man is that he found inspiration from his masters like Jimi and how he had more originality in his work compared to stars nowadays. I also love how his answer isn't egoistic in that way
You can most definitely see Hendrix influence on Prince! That's no doubt! As well as the influence of Little Richard and James Brown!!
U forgot sly
Spoken like a true gentleman.
Hendrix is a guitarists guitarist, Respect to both legends!
Well said, Hendrix was unique so a Prince.❤✌
Even after 30 years, rock critics are still comparing Prince to Hendrix and there's really no comparison cuz every album that Prince made took a totally different turn than the previous one and Prince kept reinventing himself and his image throughout his career.....
Jimi changed the game and opened new doors he is The Guitar God Prince has nothing on him sorry
then why are they comparing him to Hendrix even after 30 years....

"There will be another one like Hendrix. And it would be a pity to try. I strive for originality in my work.' - Prince
Totally not what he said
What Prince said was, "Hendrix was good, but there will NEVER be another like him and it would be a pity to try..."
Cole James he did.
SOPHII read above learn to listen fucker
Jimi, prince, and Eddie hazel.was three of the best I heard
Well he his hairstyle, mustache, the way he dresses, look as though he is trying to look like hendrix. Nothing to do with skin color
how am i supposed to focus when theres an acid trip on the bottom right of the screen
Hendrix influenced Prince.
well put...
He's so sweet.

Sooo it never occurred to him that the way he dressed wasn't a reason for the Jimi hendrix comparison? lol
@Tony yeah, ooooooooook
Prince Michael and Hendrix
HONESTLY i like Prince
But dont bring up race in this matter
Purple rain? Purple Haze
Purple house? Red house
One can clearly see SOME kind of resemblence, and any guitarist will most likely question a reference.
Race didnt have nothing to do with this.
Purple house... is red house, prince put a spin on it, maybe listen to it?
@@dantetorres8350 I dont listen to Prince. I was just saying race had nothing to do with the comparison.
Ijonkilledyou race has a lot to do with it, black artists were always pitted against each other.
@@dantetorres8350 Jimi Hendrix is perhaps the most influencial guitarist of all time. Both him and Prince had a unique sense of fashion. If you said Purple house IS Red house, then how can people NOT make a comparison. Many non black guitarists get compared to Hendrix all the time.
Ijonkilledyou this video is from 1986, prince paid tribute in 1999 with Purple house. Watch the video dude.
whats that song 0:01
it's the official music video to America" from a live performance in nice (france) on october 27, 1985 ua-cam.com/video/Pq98n2j75XA/v-deo.html
Prince means that Jimi was Jimi and not to be compared to other guitarists....the same as Clapton is Clapton. Nothing to do with who is the Goat.
I never heard a Hendrix guitar solo that I thought was amazing. Prince on the other hand operated on a super human level.
Martin yeah but hendrix revolutionized what a rhythm guitar should do in rock and roll! i agree jimi wasnt always the best soloist but his rhythm guitar skills were second to none!

Above Jimi?
Watch 4 mins 58 seconds of Jimis voodoo child at Woodstock right here on utube... Hendrix took it to a whole level above Prince... SRV... Slash Bonamasa etc
Prince copied Jimi's guitar faces, stances and flourishes of the hand as well as some of his sound.
Jimi is God Prince is just his discipel nothing more nothing less......................
