Jimi Hendrix and The Monkees Tour

Dubbed as the greatest guitarist of all time by Rolling Stone, Jimi Hendrix left an indelible mark in the history of music. With his sheer talent, it wasn’t surprising that he teamed up with a successful and exciting group called The Monkees. Although they were two separate great personalities, their fans weren’t that happy about their partnership.

In 1967, The Monkees tapped Hendrix to be their opening act for their US tour because one of the members was a huge fan of the instrumentalist. However, their supporters weren’t ecstatic about the collaboration, and the Hey Joe hitmaker suffered a lot of jeers onstage.
