Experience Hendrix, the family company of the legendary JIMI HENDRIX,
has issued the following statement regarding a supposed "sex film"
starring the guitar icon:
"We, Experience Hendrix, the family company of Jimi Hendrix are aware
of the release of the adult videotape which alleges to contain illicit
footage of Jimi Hendrix. We strongly dispute the claimed authenticity
and affirmatively state that Experience Hendrix is neither involved in,
nor have we authorized the distribution of this film. Further, we
deplore this unsubstantiated exploitation of Jimi Hendrix. We view the
release as nothing more than a callous attempt to trade on the image
and reputation of a deceased artist who is unable to defend himself
against such an outrageous and baseless assertion. We are highly
offended by the disgraceful portrayal.
While we do not wish to call undue attention to this desecration,
we reserve all rights and remedies under the law to protect the
character and legacy of Jimi Hendrix with which we have been charged
and legally possess."
As previously reported Jimi Hendrix, the iconic rock 'n roll guitarist, will be seen in a
new role - as an adult film star - in "Jimi Hendrix The Sex Tape" to be
released online at www.hendrixsextape.com today, Tuesday, April 29th by
Vivid Entertainment, the world's leading adult film studio. It will be
available in stores across the country a week later on Tuesday, May
6th.
Vivid obtained
the footage from a collector of rock 'n roll memorabilia. It was shot
about 40 years ago in a hotel room as Hendrix had an erotic liaison
with two slender brunettes. When the footage starts, Hendrix appears
mellow while on the receiving end of bi-racial lovemaking from the two
girls. In contrast, his enthusiasm to give back pleasure appears to be
boundless.
The Vivid DVD is a sexual documentary that gives insight on
the uninhibited rock 'n roll scene of the Sixties. The company
consulted with several experts to authenticate the footage and the
movie features commentary by two of the experts that Vivid brought in:
Pamela Des Barres, author of "I'm with the Band: Confessions of a
Groupie" and other books, who teams up with Cynthia Plaster Caster,
famous for creating plaster molds of the penises of rock stars,
including that of Hendrix. We learn more about the sexual side of
Hendrix' music through the commentary from both women who knew him
personally.
"This new movie shows that Jimi Hendrix could have been as
great a porn star as he was a rock star. He could clearly play more
than just his guitar," said Vivid co-chairman Steven Hirsch. It's easy
to see that he turned women on with his music and his passion."
As consultants, the first job of Des Barres and Plaster Caster
was to confirm that it is actually Hendrix portrayed in the 8 mm
footage. "No doubt about it," says Plaster Caster. "That's Jimi
Hendrix' d*ck and I should know." She then relates how she was invited
to Hendrix' hotel room on February 25, 1968, where she made a plaster
mold of his penis which she compares to Jimi's on film.
Plaster Caster says Hendrix had an orgasm while in her cast
for the mold, which she numbered #0004 and called the "Penis de Milo."
"It was a magical process that only lasted a half hour," she recalls.
In the Vivid DVD she also reveals that on the night she cast Hendrix'
penis she also had sex with musician Noel Redding, bassist for The Jimi
Hendrix Experience band.
Des Barres says in her commentary: "Hendrix liked to be filmed
having sex. He's the ultimate adult film movie star. I understand why
everyone wanted to sleep with the guy. He played like an
all-encompassing rock orgasm. He reeked of sex. You wanted to strip to
keep up with him when he played 'Foxy Lady.'"
Des Barres and Plaster Caster talk extensively about Hendrix
and his influence on the Sixties. "It was a time of exploring bodies,
music, drugs, of the coming together of like-minded souls who thought
they would change the world," says Des Barres. She and Plaster Caster
were both among the "top groupies" invited to all of the major musical
events. "The footage proves," says Des Barres, "that Hendrix was
fabulous in bed and really wanted to please his partner."
