Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What was the name of the first band Jimi Hendrix's played in?"
...If you want a real trip, try looking up old photos of Jimi Hendrix from his early days. Before the velvet jackets and legendary afro, Jimi was a teenager playing with the Velvetones, much to his father's disapproval. He did play with various other rock legends, too, including Little Richard's backing band. Once he formed The Experience and released the classic album "Are You Experienced?" in 1967, Hendrix was on his way to history. Fun fact: If you ever get a time machine and go back to the 60s you could call him "Johnny Hendrix," his birth name. Although he probably won't respond, so nevermind.
