Randy Hansen is a U.S. guitarist, best known for his emulation of Jimi Hendrix. He clearly has a bit of physical resemblance to Hendrix in his facial features, and carries that resemblance further by emulating such signatures of Hendrix's style as playing a guitar with his teeth or behind his back. His music appeared in the 1979 film Apocalypse Now, and his debut album was released in 1980 on Capitol Records.

- Randy Hansen is a U.S. guitarist, best known for his emulation of Jimi Hendrix. He clearly has a bit of physical resemblance to Hendrix in his facial features, and carries that resemblance further by emulating such signatures of Hendrix's style as playing a guitar with his teeth or behind his back. His music appeared in the 1979 film Apocalypse Now, and his debut album was released in 1980 on Capitol Records. Hansen's high energy guitar work has earned praise from fellow Dutch-American, legendary guitarist, Eddie Van Halen, among others. He also was a good friend of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan (writing a song about him called "Texas Twister" from his Old Dogs New Tricks CD). He has toured and played with literally hundreds of famous musicians and groups. Hansen's Hendrix act first came to prominence with Randy Hansen's Machine Gun (1977–80), with Larry Epperly on bass guitar and Tim Kelliher on drums (Kelliher later did sessions for guitarist Daniel Jones in his band 7th Order, whose session personnel also included British guitarist Martin Pugh and veteran American rock guitarist Geoff Thorpe). All three had previously been in a band called Kid Chrysler and the Cruisers. Hansen's Machine Gun performed on bills with Heart, The Kinks, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and others, and were written up by Rolling Stone and Guitar Player. There are now videos on a major website with Buddy Miles covering Hendrix tunes such as "All Along the Watchtower", with incredible playing by Hansen from 1997. After his debut album, his emphasis continued to be on original releases emulating the Jimi Hendrix style of composition, in addition to including large numbers of Hendrix compositions in his live shows. He had a brief stint in the 1980s with a band that played a more contemporary style but, failing to gain a record contract of note, quickly returned to his main source of success as a Hendrix imitator. One of the high points of Hansen's career was when he played a short series of concerts with a band that included the original Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer, Mitch Mitchell. In the 1990s and into the 2000s, Hansen has increasingly turned to Europe for his live show tour dates due to greater interest from that market. He headlined a July 26, 2008 bill in Mannheim, Germany, with Love Street and Buried Alive Band as openers . He continues also to play locally in Seattle and around the U.S. Hansen has three self-released CDs of original music in print, none of them well-distributed but all available online: Old Dogs New Tricks, Good Intentions and Tower of Love. He continues to live in Seattle. There are some excellent on-line videos of Hansen and Uli Roth doing some Hendrix tunes showing great talent by both artists. As of 2008, Hansen is on the roster of Gen-X Entertainment Intl. Inc. , who also represent bands ranging from the Amazing Rhythm Aces to the current incarnation of Jefferson Starship.
- Randy Hansen ist ein US-amerikanischer Gitarrist. Hansen ist bekannt für seine Interpretationen von Jimi Hendrix' Musik. Er spielte in den frühen 1980ern u. a. mit den Original-Musikern der Jimi Hendrix Experience und mit Buddy Miles, dem 2008 verstorbenen Schlagzeuger von Hendrix´ Band of Gypsys. Seine Sounds und Riffs faszinierten Francis Ford Coppola so sehr, dass er sie als Soundtrack für sein Kriegs-Epos Apocalypse Now verwendete. Hansens Line-up besteht - wenn er in Europa auftritt - aus Ufo Walter am Bass, der auch als virtuoser Solokünstler weltweit bekannt ist, und Manni von Bohr am Schlagzeug. Bei Auftritten in den USA kann die Besetzung auch abweichen. Besonders in Deutschland und Europa hat Randy viele Fans. Seine Shows in Clubs und auf Festivals sind regelmäßig ausverkauft. Hansen verfügt über eine starke Bühnenpräsenz und fasziniert das Publikum, indem er die Gitarre, wie Jimi Hendrix, mit den Zähnen und hinter dem Rücken spielt, und die Zuhörer durch Stagediving miteinbezieht.
