Stephen Stills Was Flattered By Jimi Hendrix's Interest
.
(Classic Rock) Stephen Stills says he was "flattered" when he found out that Jimi Hendrix wanted him to play bass with him. The pair played together on Stills' self-titled debut album in 1970, which was released a month before the guitar icon died. But he says he was asked to join Hendrix's band full-time, but a hand injury prevented him from doing so. Stills tells Classic Rock: "I didn't realise they were really discussing it seriously until I read Mitch Mitchell's book. I was quite flattered. But they did call me. I was in Hawaii with a broken hand, so I couldn't go." And asked if he was tempted, the multi-instrumentalist says: "I'd have done it in a heartbeat, as long as it paid. But there were an awful lot of people that had an awful lot invested in Crosby, Stills & Nash." Read more here. Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com. |
