I think many have lost the fact that he is a tribute band. He is meant to sound and look like Jimi. Stop bloody commenting saying he is un original or is a poser or ripping off Jimi. This is what he does as a job. What do you do? I think it is bloody great that he is keeping the experience going.
Randy is a fantastic guitarist in his own right and he does a excellant Hendrix impresonation. The first time I seen him play his act I was greatly impressed. He really gives his all into coveing Hendrix tunes, this is why it`s so good. Rock on Randy.
Oh, this is so beautiful I don't know what to do with myself. Can only worship it. Thank you Randy Hansen and all the amazing musicians who play with you, thank you.
Man I've been studying Hendrix's music for 25 years and this good has got it nailed! i Close my eyes and listen to the guitar and I really can't tell the difference. this dude has got the spirit!
WTF does his looks have to do with his skill ?? Not a darn thing !!! Randy is an amazing musician and a great person.....one of the nicest dudes I've ever met !!!
***** Your comment is insult, but not a rebuttal. I am 6 years younger than Jimi would have been if he'd lived. I was listening to Hendrix when both you parents were probably still crapping their Huggies: so as the expert here------------I say Randy's great. . Slither back under your rock troll.
Saw Randy Hansen (front row) in 1979 in Phoenix, Az. doing his Tribute to Jimmy show. I've seen a lot of concerts in my 60 years but this one show was the finest single show I have ever seen. I was AMAZED.
Seen him live in Germany many years ago. One of the best concerts I have ever witnessed. So awesome to hear Jimi's music played live the way Jimi would have played it. Randy is one of the greatest. God bless you Randy!!!
I live in Seattle, where Randy is, and believe me, this man is so, so great, as is the band. One of the few Hendrix imitators who is approved by Jimi's family.
Remarkable.I saw him at the first rock conert I ever attended in about 1976. Whatever the speedway in Portland is called . Bob Welch , Little River Band , Heart , and Randy Hanson!! My first concert and perhaps the best! Then , in the eighties I saw him at a club in Portland . He stood on MY table and picked out "hey joe " with his teeth ! No shit ., I saw it from 30 inches away !
I saw him too in Belgium years ago for an "Hendrix tribute" with some other guitar players like Uli Roth, original lead by the Scorpions. He was simply amazing & sometimes he was Hendrix impersonation. He was the best at this event. He his also funny on stage. Great guy!!
I got to hang with Randy one night after a show in S.F. My friend was playing bass with the band. Great show. Randy is an awesome artist not only on guitar but on the page as well.
Jesus.... He is a TRIBUTE ACT ... He will have made more money in a year being that good than he would have in ten doing his own thing... tribute acts of THAT quality get a LOT of money. And as for his ability, absolutely great guitarist playing from the heart , absolutely no doubt, plays Hendrix better than anyone else I've ever heard for sure
Probably the most asinine comments in this section I have ever seen. People do realize Randy plays professionally and was asked to finish Jimi’s albums after he passed. He also tours playing Jimi’s music. For all the Hendrix fans out there, Jimi would never approve of anyone making such crude remarks about a fellow musician. SMH
I saw Randy play last weekend at the tulalip casino. What an amazing show, all I heard were people commenting on how amazing he was on the guitar with the solo's.
seen many Hendrix interpretations, this one is best. he have this relaxed effortless attitude that Jimi had and he is actually not immitating Jimi, he really is similar to him he is naturally like that and he also play really good, now I see why so many likes you cannot fool people, for example Steve Vai is really good guitarist technically one of very best in the world as is Joe Satriani, I saw them both live and they both kick ass, but still Hansen is playing Hendrix much better than both of them, to be good technically is just one of many aspects for good musician and Jimi Hendrix had them all, Hansen have also many skills ! To be good technically does not mean you can play really fast like shredders does, this is just one style and honestly this style is quickly dying out cause you get so quickly bored listening those fast notes, much more people will appreciate if you can play good technically blues or blues/rock or hard rock, bands like Led Zeppelin have much more value in terms of what is good rock guitar playing than those shredding technical metal, noeclassical etc..if you shred good couple of geeks, nerds will listen to you, but if you play well style of Jimmy Page or Hendrix crowd will listen to you, plus you will get many one night stands ! Those technical players is cool to listen for some fast driving for cca 15 minutes and then enough, you need that old rock and blues with a soul where every note get into your soul, those couple notes from BB King have much much more value then 1000s of shred notes in one minute.. and Jimi Hendrix is cream of the best ! To conclude Hansen is fantastic guitarist cause he came closest to feel of Jimi
I ve seen Randy Hansen for 3 times in my live (last time one month ago his first gig of his european tour) Randy Hansen is really an awesome guitarplayer and i never heard anyone that comes such near to the original playing of Jimi.
Jimi Hendrix ist nicht tot, er steht doch vor uns auf der Bühne, ja der Randy Hansen hat seine Seele im Blut und ich achte voll seine tolle Arbeit, denn das muss man erst mal so super hinbekommen. Einmalig der Randy Hansen, so etwas von toll. Ich glaube er ist der BESTE GItarrist auf der Welt !!!
+Fell Wanderer Ye and allot of it is becuase he turned his guitarupside down so thesound from the pickups would be the same as jimi and also he's immitating hendrix voice really well and of course playing well
:-o it's like he's channeling hendrix. at first it was like yeah another person playing hendrix but then the vocals and dang. I'm not much into tribute bands, but now I've got to see this guy.
Yeah man, I'm going to see Randy's show on the 1st of may this year! I'm a guitar player and a big Hendrix fan myself, and Randy totaly nails it.... When it comes to playing Hendrix live, Randy is the best! And than there is his voice, its almost spooky. See you soon Randy.... Peace
Real rock and roll ain't about being pretty. It's about dirt and sweat and heart. MTV dragged the spirit of rock into the landfill. Thank God there are people like Randy Hansen, working his ass off to rescue real rock music. If you didn't know, Randy is the guy that tracked the incidental guitar music for the film Apocalypse Now. He's a monster and a hell of a nice guy. Another guy like Randy is Unknown Hinson. Check him out too!
excellent interpretation of Jimis masterpiece. this is a revelation for me, I've never heard of this man, but I will search for him from now on ! ps. thanks for the vid. !
Many years ago I saw Randy Hansen do Jimi Hendrix with makeup at the Roxy in Hollywood. It was an exceptional performance , it felt like I was watching Jimi play. It was supremely realistic!!! Since then I have never seen him do a performance with make up again, not sure why because the make up added a strong sense of realism. I've seen him without the make up and it just was not as magical! no doubt RH is a gifted and talented performer, but if he is doing an impersonation the makeup would take it to another level
thanks for all your tributes, they are awesome. Sometime i believe in it. You make jimi being still there for a few moments, time to time, it really pleasant. thanks for your efforts and for your passion :-)
Randy Hansen is right handed but he plays guitar setup for left handed player. That means ,he mimics string setup used by Hendrix (left handed playing guitar setup for right handed player). It could be one of the reasons that Randy can mimic Hendrix so closely ( along with Randy Hansen great skills ).
When it comes to tribute artists I'm sort of ambivalent. Whether it's emulating the Rat Pack in Vegas or the latest version of Beatlemania, I find myself asking "What's the point?" But once in awhile someone comes along who's so good at it that you have to take notice. This guy absolutely NAILS it! Obviously a great guitarist in his own right, he's a wonder to behold. Good job!
Saw him live in the early 80's. He was literally playing a foot from me. Went back the next night and saw him again. I thought I was on acid and Jimi was right in front of me of course I was wasted to some degree I will admit.
@dcross412 Jimi was left handed and played a right handed guitar strung in reverse and flipped. Fender even made a Hendrix edition that was upside down.
I think many have lost the fact that he is a tribute band. He is meant to sound and look like Jimi. Stop bloody commenting saying he is un original or is a poser or ripping off Jimi. This is what he does as a job. What do you do? I think it is bloody great that he is keeping the experience going.
Simply the best in the world
Randy is a fantastic guitarist in his own right and he does a excellant Hendrix impresonation. The first time I seen him play his act I was greatly impressed.
He really gives his all into coveing Hendrix tunes, this is why it`s so good.
Rock on Randy.
The only guy who can give u the Jimi Hendrix experience
Attila Márta Check out Stan Skibby Band of Gypsies.
@@colinmcnab6145 Stan is nowhere near as good as Randy. Randy just has something extra. Something magical about him, which Stan is clearly lacking.
Thats right, the only guy
WELCOME
A new generation Hendrix Fan!
FANTASTIC.
Thank you for the real nice shout out.
Always Peace,
Randy
Hey Randy.....your sound was awesome big and raw like Jimi.... nobody else brings that...thanks
As a hendrix fan and guitarist who plays his stuff this is pretty dam good!!!
Oh, this is so beautiful I don't know what to do with myself. Can only worship it. Thank you Randy Hansen and all the amazing musicians who play with you, thank you.
Got to see Randy Hansen live and up close many times back in the 80's in small clubs. Great player and showman.
This guy is the best tribute band I've ever seen
Too good for words!!!...May God bless U Randy...
Man I've been studying Hendrix's music for 25 years and this good has got it nailed! i Close my eyes and listen to the guitar and I really can't tell the difference. this dude has got the spirit!
this boy can play...
Randy Hansen IS Hendrix incarnate. Just mindblowing!
That low camera angle is brutal! "You gonna learn today!"
WTF does his looks have to do with his skill ?? Not a darn thing !!! Randy is an amazing musician and a great person.....one of the nicest dudes I've ever met !!!
+petra baum naw, the main thing is there, & I know I've got more functioning brain cells than you.
***** Your comment is insult, but not a rebuttal. I am 6 years younger than Jimi would have been if he'd lived. I was listening to Hendrix when both you parents were probably still crapping their Huggies: so as the expert here------------I say Randy's great. . Slither back under your rock troll.
***** You do, or you wouldn't have bothered replying.
***** Pissing contest over toots. 10-4
Nothing. you are right.

Thanks for being so Jimi Randy! Nobody does it better other than Jimi himself!
one of the finest guitarists ever, so appreciative that he continued where Jimi left off...kudos to Randy
Pure talent.....much respect carrying on music from one of the two best guitarists to ever walk earth.
@Martin G Most certainly Stevie Ray Vaughan my friend
I opened for this guy a couple of times back in the 80's. The last time Mitch Mitchell was his drummer.
Seen him live in Germany many years ago. One of the best concerts I have ever witnessed. So awesome to hear Jimi's music played live the way Jimi would have played it. Randy is one of the greatest. God bless you Randy!!!
Jesus! Beautiful everything! Sound, song, lights, camera work, guitar color. Thanks again Randy. Great Vibes!
I live in Seattle, where Randy is, and believe me, this man is so, so great, as is the band. One of the few Hendrix imitators who is approved by Jimi's family.
Many props. I saw Randy Hansen live (as Jimi)... it is flat out AMAZING how much like Hendrix he plays. Superb.
Remarkable.I saw him at the first rock conert I ever attended in about 1976. Whatever the speedway in Portland is called . Bob Welch , Little River Band , Heart , and Randy Hanson!! My first concert and perhaps the best! Then , in the eighties I saw him at a club in Portland . He stood on MY table and picked out "hey joe " with his teeth !

the only one who can play jimi in the earth! I saw him live some years ago... amazing!
I saw him too in Belgium years ago for an "Hendrix tribute" with some other guitar players like Uli Roth, original lead by the Scorpions.
He was simply amazing & sometimes he was Hendrix impersonation. He was the best at this event. He his also funny on stage. Great guy!!
This guy is almost Jimi righthanded.
This performance gives me chills. Keep on rock'n
Hey this guys really good.enjoyed his idea of hey Joe.
I got to see this guy play at Blues Central in Anchorage, Alaska . He is absolutely amazing to see in person. He had all of Jimis moves.
randy is so electric. .damn he's great keepin that spirit goin
Randy is amazing, very authentic, even down to the point of stuffing a pair of socks down the front of his trousers! :D
I got to hang with Randy one night after a show in S.F. My friend was playing bass with the band. Great show. Randy is an awesome artist not only on guitar but on the page as well.
Wooow !!! es el único de todos los cantantes que he escuchado interpretar esta canción que lo hace como Hendrix!!!!.. este músico es genial!!!
A most respectful and spirit encompassing cover , Randy `Rocks ' !!!
raw and soulful, great cover
Jesus.... He is a TRIBUTE ACT ... He will have made more money in a year being that good than he would have in ten doing his own thing... tribute acts of THAT quality get a LOT of money. And as for his ability, absolutely great guitarist playing from the heart , absolutely no doubt, plays Hendrix better than anyone else I've ever heard for sure
the best cover
randy is a hell of a artist as well as musician

Estooooooo es una joyaaaa un gran tributoooooo
Fantasticoooooo ¡¡¡¡¡¡
I agree with you 1000% ........never heard anyone do a rendition like that totally unbelievable.
Met randy in Whitehorse Yukon in mid 70's played the showboat lounge with kid crysler and the cruisers. Great insperation
I saw Randy play last weekend at the tulalip casino. What an amazing show, all I heard were people commenting on how amazing he was on the guitar with the solo's.
Más intérpretes como Randy para recordar a Jimi! Muy buena versión!!
Wow this is the closest anyone will ever get to the Hendrix experience he is absolutely great!!!
Good, really good. I know there are many many many millions who do not like this. But that was great. Try to play like he does. Very good.
seen many Hendrix interpretations, this one is best. he have this relaxed effortless attitude that Jimi had and he is actually not immitating Jimi, he really is similar to him he is naturally like that and he also play really good, now I see why so many likes you cannot fool people, for example Steve Vai is really good guitarist technically one of very best in the world as is Joe Satriani, I saw them both live and they both kick ass, but still Hansen is playing Hendrix much better than both of them, to be good technically is just one of many aspects for good musician and Jimi Hendrix had them all, Hansen have also many skills !

Zoran Ramzo Kamenycky Agree 100%. What’s the use in “shredding” and playing a bunch of notes it it doesn’t achieve this level of feeling and tone?
Zoran Ramzo Kamenycky I hear ya bro. As B.B. said it’s the notes u don’t play that really make it groove
Exatamente. Ele é único. Ele não "imita" Jumi hendrix. Ele é Jimi Hendrix!! Rsrsrs...
I ve seen Randy Hansen for 3 times in my live (last time one month ago his first gig of his european tour) Randy Hansen is really an awesome guitarplayer and i never heard anyone that comes such near to the original playing of Jimi.

Its uncanny how much Randy sounds like Jimi and plays extremely well
+Fell Wanderer I've never been one for tribute artists but would love to see this guy perform
+Fell Wanderer Ye and allot of it is becuase he turned his guitarupside down so thesound from the pickups would be the same as jimi and also he's immitating hendrix voice really well and of course playing well

Serious fucking legend man, Jimi would of loved you, buzzing just as much energy as him. Peace man.

I really want to see him live but this quarantine is stopping that so currently watching all the UA-cam stuff.
Very Good !!
