Clips of livemusic from over the decades are an astounding wealth of individual time capsules - firstly because of the fate that almost seems like kismet, allowing that critical moment of a collection of minutes to be captured for posterity, benefiting the ages ahead, and secondly that we would end up having digital archives such as YouTube to hold and maintain so many of these historical high marks. It's a remarkable show of the graduation of technology, even if it does raise concerns about what we might lose if YouTube or the internet itself were to ever be shuttered. 4r3m2x

The guitar solo; odds are, if you've been a music fan for long enough, you've seen and heard quite a few of them, ranging from some ragtag handfuls of notes to minutes of fret-jumping logistical mastery. Your opinion of the guitar solo may also vary. Some of you may see them as the emotional lean and swoop of a song's backbone that carries a tune from the swamp to the stratosphere. Others, perhaps, might view the guitar solo as a mindless strut of technical noodling - the show-off's sonata, if you will.

Famous works like "Purple Haze", "Voodoo Child", "All Along the Watchtower", and his iconic take on the Star Spangled Banner(Live at Woodstock 1969) gave the inimitable Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970)a space to redefine the entire essence of what we knew electric guitar to be. Hendrix's musical storytelling became theatrical, even through his instrumentation alone. Those same timeless rock classics, however,also yielded Hendrix a one-way ticket to the 27 Club.

The late Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Jimi Hendrix is ready to be immortalized - literally - in an sci-fi epic from Titan Comics, titled Purple Haze. Despite a relatively brief career before an untimely death, Jimi Hendrix is considered one of the greatest rock musicians of all time. His music is viewed as an iconic, timeless staple of the 1970s, and this original graphic novel will add a new piece to the Hendrix cultural myhtos.

Once upon a time, Jimi Hendrix captured the imaginations of millions across the world when he innovated the art of guitar-playing and, by proxy, rock 'n' roll, so it seems only fitting for Ablaze Publishing to release a graphic novel that seeks to capture the late rocker's own imagination via Jimi Hendrix: Electric Requiem. Jimi Hendrix ed away suddenly in 1970 at the peak of his career. Interestingly enough, save for Jimi Hendrix: All By My Side starring Outkast's Andre 3000 in the title role, very few mediums have tried to capture his life in biopic form in the time since his death.

In May 2022 Ablaze Publishing will be debuting a new, gorgeously illustrated graphic novel biography of Jimi Hendrix titled Hendrix: Electric Requiem. This graphic novels depicts his intense, impactful life. It focuses on his upbringing in Seattle, his difficult experiences with racism as a starting musician in the South, and his journey to becoming one of the most famous musicians in history. Jimi Hendrix is considered by many to be the world's greatest guitarist of all time, and his music and approach to life have made an indelible impact on American society ever since he first gained notoriety in the late 1960s. And, his popularity has lasted far past his untimely death at the young age of 27.

Described by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as “arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music,” Jimi Hendrix is one of the most talented and iconic musicians who ever lived. Rolling Stone magazine has ranked him as the greatest guitarist of all time and the sixth greatest musician of all time. Hendrix was one of the foremost pioneers in bringing psychedelic musical stylings into rock ‘n’ roll.

Chronicling the life of rock music icon Jimi Hendrix on film has proven to be incredibly difficult in recent years. Not only is it a challenge to appropriately capture and highlight the essential moments of Hendrix's tragically short, but influential career; filmmakers also face the arduous roadblock known as the Hendrix estate, which has justly defended and protected the late rock legend's legacy by burying most unworthy projects before they begin.
