Jimi Hendrix by David Stubbs
Jimi Hendrix was very probably the greatest solo rock artist of all time. He was the supreme physical and musical emblem of rock music. If anyone personified the genre in its purest, most potent and inflammatory form, it was Hendrix. He was unparalleled as a sonic sculptor of fretboard electricity. With a deceptively theatrical sexuality, he wrought a molten and massive body of sound, which left his contemporaries sounding small, monochrome and tinny by comparison, a body of sound which is still awe-inspiring today.
David Stubbs started working life as a staff writer for the legendary Melody Maker. While there, he was responsible for the popular Talk Talk Talk section of the paper, as well as conducting innumerable interviews with figures as wide-ranging as Kraftwerk, De La Soul, Public Enemy, R.E.M. and The Butthole Surfers. During the Nineties, he diversified into writing on film, TV and sport. He wrote an occasional TV column for The Guardian and is a contributor to the football magazine When Saturday Comes. He also wrote scripts for Alan Davies and Bill Bailey for a Radio 1 series starring the two comedians. In recent years he has written for Uncut, The Times, The Guardian, NME, GQ, Spin and Arena among others, profiling and interviewing figures including Ian Wright, Morgan Freeman, Tony Bennett, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, Steve Coogan and Tim Robbins. David currently lives in Blackheath, London, England.
