In honor of Jimi Hendrix's birthday, Complex magazine music blog, Pigeons and Planes, has included a list which features 20 audio clips of Hendrix speaking from interviews and other forms of media.

Hendrix may have made a statement with his pioneering guitar work, but was usually very soft spoken and playful when he spoke in conversation. In one audio track, Hendrix discusses his fear of playing on stage when he was younger:

"It was so very hard to me, because at first man, I was so scared. I wouldn't dare go on stage... Plus, you get so very discouraged, you hear bands playing around you and the guitar player seems like he's always so much better than you are, you know?"
