somebody needs to add a lot more detail, most of which can be found on the Hendrix page. I think.

[edit] yeah

this article is a bit sticky. he met his best succes as a member of a band, not technically solo. i think there should be an article about the expereance as a group, rather than a little stubly thing. i think it would be just confusing to do this, though, with a huge article on hendrix, so i think it would be best to make this a subject on his page. i think....

I think so

[edit] Merge

This article should really be merged with Hendrix. andreasegde 17:04, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I second this. The Hendrix article is far too big and needs trimming down, whilst this article needs some work. HK51 16:17, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah I agreeAll systems go 20:50, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Don't Merge

I don't think you should merge this. One of these chronicles a band, the other chronicles Jimi himself. Of course that both items should be described/explained separately, but pages should be linked.

[edit] other

Caption under the info picture is wrong: Noel Redding is on the far left, not Mitch Mitchell. no i think u are VERY confused!!! that is Mitch Mitchell on the far left !!!!

[edit] context

It would be ridiculous to merge the JH article into the JHE article. Whether or not the other article is too long seems irrelevant (the web, after all is of infinite size) but JH developed before and continued after the JHE. How would Billy Cox fit into a reverse taxonomy?

[edit] Merge

jimi hendrix's life should be included in the Jimi Hendrix Experience article other than the jimi hendrix experience being covered as part of jimi hendrix's life.

[edit] Neutrality

"Personnel

   * Jimi Hendrix - guitar god, lead vocals
   * Noel Redding - bass, vocals
   * Mitch Mitchell - drums"

it's not that i don't agree...

[edit] power trio

"Following the lead of The Who, they were one of the first groups (along with Cream) to popularize the "power trio" format..." Uh, the Who are NOT a power trio! Also, how about some citation of why you think/know they were following their lead? Also it makes it seem like Hendrix was the first to use the wah wah and feedback when Clapton used wah wah first in Tales of Brave Ulysses and Lennon used feedback first in I Feel Fine.

the who are instrumentally a power trio. roger doesn't play any instruments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.110.223 (talk) 21:09, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Roger does play intruments. He plays harmonica, and guitar. As a mater of fact he was the lead guitar player for the Who during their very early years. Also, many musicions would consider the voice and instrument. Bluesmanjay (talk) 20:31, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bad wording

The line "Hendrix died later that year when he choked on his own vomit in his sleep." really annoys me, i know there is a scientific/more sophisticated word meaning "choke on own vomit"--RHCP Fan1 10:09, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I removed the end part of the phrase "Hendrix died later that year when he was murderd by chas chandler," since this is obviously just someone's speculation. I think "Hendrix died later that year" sums it up well enough, since this is just about The Experience; if someone thinks "well, how did he die?" they can just hop on over to the Hendrix article, which goes into all the gory details.
