I was bummed to learn about all this. I don't doubt Andre 3000 is going to do a great job in this role, but this is bullshit. I mean just the fact that there is no original Hendrix music in the film is enough to make me not want to see it. How pathetic is that? It's going to feel like some retarded VH1 behind the music special where they couldn't get the rights to the actual artist's music.
No Thanks.

yea no originals but I think along the watch tower and hey joe and stuff will be in it, plus a lot of jimiesque guitar wankery in the background. Jimi's people didn't want anything to do with it, probably because they couldn't control everything to do with it.
I personally don't care because I think trying to make the definitive Jimi biopic, like the Johnny Cash movie, would suck anyway. They are making a story from a time in his life rather than everything to do with him.
- its more intimate and unique with more narrative possibilities.lodef

No Hendrix music = No Hendrix movie.

i heard he locked himself in a room 6 hours a day to learn how to play the guitar left-handed and with the strings rearranged like Hendrix...and also that they got together guys from Hendrix old band to create new music that they thought Jimmy would sound like now..
- But all those guys are dead. Mitch Mitchell, Noel Redding, Buddy Miles, Billy Cox.CyBrainX

Favorite track of all time:
I still remember listening to the intro on acid 20-ish years ago, it was so clear to all of us "Worship the devil,,,, worship Satan"
me and all my buddies looked at each other in amazement "holy fuck, did you just hear that shit!?!?"so fuckin good
