Thought: Now that Mitch Mitchell is gone, will his Experience Hendrix tour live on?
Now that all three members of the Jimi Hendrix Experience are gone will Mitch Mitchell’s tour with the Experience Hendrix go on without him? The Experience Hendrix tour like I said, it’s a tour where many different special guest musicians play various instruments to tribute the music of Jimi Hendrix. The tours over the years had many different guitarists from Jonny Lang to Kenny Wayne Shepherd to Brad Whitford and the list goes on.
I wonder if the Experience Hendrix tour will live on without Jimi, Noel, and Mitch. I personally think the “Experience Hendrix” tour will be going on forever nonstop. The Experience Hendrix will tour every year special guesting many different musicians. It’s a good way to keep the Hendrix legacy alive and strong so of course they’ll keep the tours going.
I’m a huge Jimi Hendrix addict myself. He’s one of my musical heroes, I’ll never get tired of listening to his music. He’s one of the main guys that made me want to pick up the guitar in the first place.

Report: Slash hints Jimi Hendrix may get his own Guitar Hero game…
Slash had an interview with Rollingstone and he talked about how he was the one who talked Aerosmith into getting their own Guitar Hero game. He also said that Activision is currently working on Jimi Hendrix getting his own video game.
Activision has kept their mouth shut on whether Hendrix will get a game or not, but I’ll keep an eye on this news.
More on it here:

I hope it’s true that Hendrix is getting a Guitar Hero, I’d buy it if it comes out.
We all now know that Led Zeppelin will never do a Guitar Hero because they don’t want their music used for video games.
I would like Ac/Dc or Nirvana to get their own game too.

Report: Jimi Hendrix has a sex tape???
First Paris Hilton, then Kim Kardashian, then Pamela Anderson, then Marilyn Monroe, and now Jimi Hendrix has a sex tape? What the fuck?
Vivid Entertainment is releasing a sex tape allegedly starring the guitar god Jimi Hendrix. Vivid Entertainment claims they have a sex tape that was shot 40 years ago in a hotel room which has a man in it that looks exactly like Hendrix, it could be really him or not. The company said they consulted with experts to authenticate the footage to prove it really is him. The footage is 11 minutes long and shows Hendrix or the Hendrix wannabe in the room having sex with two women.
Author of the Hendrix biography “Room Full of Mirrors” has seen the film and doubts it’s him.

Who knew that rock stars could have a sex tape?
If the guy in the video really is Hendrix, it wouldn’t surprise me.
Hendrix banged a lot of women back in his days.
