Mitch Mitchell- RIP

The ultimate reforming group?

RIP Mitch thanks for the music.

Very sad news.

well, looks like I'll turn off the classical station and play my Hendrix tonight.

I wonder if they are all jamming in the sky tonight. Fabulous drummer.

RIP Mitch.

This is sad.

What a great musician, with an instantly identifiable way of playing; one of the best drummers ever.

And crucial to the sound of the Jimi Hendrix Experience. With all due respect, Noel Redding was fine but the position could have been filled by any decent bassist. But without Mitch it just wouldn't have been the Experience. He really was the Jimi Hendrix of drums!

All best,
Fred

So Sad. RIP Mitch.

Wow, I didn't know he lived in my neighborhood...

Another great musician is lost far too early. RIP great man with the sticks.

"Up from the Skies" . . . . . first time ever, hearing brushes. So tasteful, and beautifully done. Thought to myself . . . . . . a rock drummer playing brushes?!?
Who is this guy !!! Soon found out what a major force he turned out to be.

Can hear the major influence Max Roach had on his playing.

Sad News!

RIP Mitch Mitchell. Thank you for your inspiration, and the wonderful legacy you leave behind!

What a sad bit of news. He was an astonsishing musician. All three of them gone. RIP.

As I recall, Noel Redding was actually a guitarist whom Chas Chandler persuaded to play bass in the Experience.

I know it's mushroom season, but are you really that confused Munch?

Sorry to say that a see another slice of my youth goin' away.
Piece by piece my life are passing in the hourglass as these people is giving the gift back.
But i feel lucky that catholics did not kill all the dissenters and i can keep a good memory of the trio on solid support.

Lets' play some stuff

Sad.
