The important thing for people to remember is Jimi's music is Jimi, not the drugs. Too many people put too much emphasis on the drugs a musician does instead of what they are actually doing themselves. Jimi may have done drugs, and they may have brought him ideas and inspiration at times, but he was able to execute them and make the music he made because he was a genius, not because he was tripping balls.
Satovan Reviewed by Satovan on . acid headband In heard that Jimi Hendrix used to soak his headband in acid so he'd trip while he was playing, but i've also read stuff (fairly reliable, like his dad's autobiography) that he wasn't hardcore into drugs (nothing much more than weed and acid, no coke or needles) and that he never was high when he was playin. Is this just his dad trying to tell himself his son wasn't a big drugger, or is that headband thing a myth?? Rating: 5
