From Revolver Mag<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jimi Hendrix may have released just three studio albums before his untimely death on September 18th, 1970 \u2014\u00a0Are You Experienced<\/em>,\u00a0Axis: Bold as Love<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Electric Ladyland<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 but it’s impossible to overstate the guitarist’s impact on popular heavy music. His otherworldly musical alchemy broke boundaries and inspired generations of musicians \u2014 everyone from Kirk Hammett and Mark Morton to Zakk Wylde and Lemmy Kilmister have\u00a0sung his praises<\/a>.

We talked to John 5 about the mind-blowing moment he discovered the late guitarist, how Hendrix impacted his creative development and why he still listens to one of the guitarist’s first there records at least once a month.<\/p>Revolver | JOHN 5 ON JIMI HENDRIX: “I DEVOTED MY LIFE TO LEARNING HIS CATALOG” | 13 November, 2020 <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
