Did it talk about the studio footage from lynyrd skynyrd?
one of them saw a guitar and picked it up asking who's it was cuz he liked it, someone told him it was Jimi's. he then dropped it saying "I can't believe you let me touch that (n words) guitar"

very simple man indeed

That's frightening - the fact that he couldn't see a fellow musician for the genius that he was because of his skin color - he couldn't hold a candle to the guy but still felt he was above him.

Google images makes it not surprising though...

Jimi Hendrix, considered by MANY to be the greatest electric guitarist of all time, was only around for 2 years of studio albums before he died. That's pretty crazy to think about

more Jimi facts:

-was left handed but playing a right handed guitar upside down

-allegedly he was the first black person Sting ever saw. (singer of The Police)

-would time his LSD trips perfectly so it would reach its peak when in the middle of his performances

-would soak his bandanna in acid would put it on his forehead and it would soak into his pores once sweaty. rumoured to also have made small cuts to himself there so the acid could go into his bloodstream faster

-He died at the age of 27 which put him on the list of other great musicians who have died at 27. "The 27 Club" consists also includes Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain and the latest person to go on the list was Amy Winehouse

i heard the jimi "lsd bandana" thing was a myth...

It is very debated about the bandanna one and the drugs use ones in general. But its hard to get confirmation for those facts, Jimi isn't here to answer those questions. The bandanna is something that would be only his accord, he doesn't need to announce how he's doing his drugs. and during the 60-70s people were taking drugs in so many new and weird ways that the bandanna doesn't seem too far fetched. with everyone high as a kite back then they probably don't have the best memory to confirm these things lol

I read that it was tabs of paper LSD under his bandana, not the bandana soaked in LSD. I would shudder to think what would happen if someone took a dose that big.

Wayman Tisdale, the former NBA player, who was also a bassist was left handed and played a right handed bass upside down.

Barry Bonds was just insane...


—Bonds drew 688 intentional walks in his career. There are 49 Hall of Fame position players who drew fewer walks of any kind in their entire careers.

—If Bonds had retired after the 1998 season, he would have done so with 99.6 career rWAR. This would rank him No. 32 all-time
—If Bonds had retired after his age-27 season rather than signing with the San Francisco Giants, he would have done so with 50.1 career rWAR, more than 42 Hall of Fame position players.

—Bonds had a career line of .393/.967/1.054 on 3-0 counts.

—Bonds was once intentionally walked with the bases loaded.

—Bonds was intentionally walked with the bases empty 41 times.

—In the 2002 postseason, Bonds hit .356/.581/.978 with eight home runs in 17 games.

—Between 2002 and 2004, Bonds hit 136 home runs and struck out 146 times.


—If you turned every home run Bonds ever hit into an out, his career on base percentage would be .384, the same as Alex Rodriguez's.

—Between 1990 and 2004, Bonds was never lower than third in OPS, and he was third only three times.

—Bonds stole 340 bases through age 30; Derek Jeter has stolen 355 in his career.

—Bonds reached base just 330 fewer times than all-time leader Pete Rose, in 3,284 fewer plate appearances.

—Bonds opened the 2004 season with a stretch in which he reached base 45 times in 64 plate appearances, with nine home runs and four strikeouts.

—Bonds's slugging percentage in 2001 was .863. If that were his OPS, it would have ranked 27th in the National League, just behind teammate and defending MVP Jeff Kent's .877 mark.

—From 2002 to 2007, the only seasons for which data is available, Bonds made contact with 90.5 percent of strikes he swung at, varying from a seasonal low of 89.2 percent to a high of 93.7 percent.


—Bonds made 85 fewer outs than Ken Griffey Jr. did in 1,302 more plate appearances.

—Bonds had four sacrifice hits in his career. (Ted Williams had five; Hank Aaron had 21.)

—Through age 26, Bonds had 10.8 defensive WAR, more than any other outfielder in major league history other than Andruw Jones through that age.

—Bonds hit .333/.488/.576 against Pedro Martínez in 43 plate appearances; only Luis Gonzalez (of all people) hit him better.

—Bonds hit Randy Johnson for a 1.003 OPS in 62 plate appearances; no other left-handed hitter with 50 PAs did better than .888, and left-handers overall hit .199/.278/.294.

—After the San Francisco Giants moved to what is now known as AT&T Park, Bonds slugged .753 there in 1996 plate appearances, which is what Mark McGwire did in 1998, the year he hit 70 home runs.

—From 2001 to 2004, Bonds's on base percentage was .559; that would have been the 11th-highest slugging average in the National League during this period.

—Bonds's career rWAR of 162.4 is higher than those of Pete Rose and Nolan Ryan combined.


—Bonds took the extra base—advancing more than one base on a single, or more than two on a double—43 percent of the time, more often than Ichiro Suzuki.

—In his career, after going to a 3-0 count Bonds hit 30 home runs and struck out 25 times.

—In his 16 recorded bunt attempts, Bonds laid down two for sacrifices and picked up eight hits on the others, for a .571 batting average.

—Bonds hit 227 career home runs just off left-handers—more than 91 Hall of Fame position players hit in total.

—If Bonds were to return to the major leagues tomorrow, he would have to make 1,412 straight outs to drop his on base percentage below .400.

Bonds was a freak of nature BEFORE he turned Super Saiyan. In the era he used performance enhancers, damn near all of baseball was, so the whole sport needs an *.

Funny how the media tried to crucify him as if Bud Selig didn't know his sport was dirty. I can't even watch baseball anymore after the witch hunts. And how many NBA and NFL players are on HGH? A LOT of them. Why people care? I don't know. Let them cook.

He was taking HGH and that was in the latter of his career...

Second, if he was taking steroids, that wouldn't help him with all the accomplishments. Roids allow you to recover faster which Allow you work harder and push your body.

If you took Roids, you wouldn't become some superior athlete. Bonds was actually extremely talented.

hgh doesnt help with recovery........

it makes you big and strong af

dont lie
