I wanna clear something with you. I heard the expression, eh, an "electric church"

Oh, let's see, I don't know. It's just a…
Jimi Hendrix hesitates and doesn't have a specific explanation for the term "electric church."

Go
Dick Cavett interrupts Jimi Hendrix to encourage him to continue with his explanation.

… it's just a belief that I have, y'know, it's, t-tch, an' it's-uh, we do use electric Guitars. Everything, y'know, is electrified nowadays, y'know
Jimi Hendrix explains that the term "electric church" refers to his belief that music has the power to reach people through electricity, especially since electric guitars are commonly used in music today.

Mhmm
Dick Cavett acknowledges Jimi Hendrix's explanation.

So therefore the belief comes into, y'know, through electricity to the people Whatever. That's why we play so loud.
Jimi Hendrix emphasizes that the loudness of their music is intentional because it allows their sound to penetrate into people's souls through electricity.

Because it doesn't actually hit through the eardrums like most, eh, groups do nowadays, y'know. They say, "Well, we're gonna play loud too, ‘cause they're playin' loud." And they got this real shrill sound, y'know, an' it's really hard.
Jimi Hendrix contrasts their loudness with that of other groups that solely rely on volume to make an impact, resulting in a shrill sound that is hard on the ears.

We plan for our sound to go inside the soul of the person actually, y'know, tch. And see if they can-uh awaken some kind of thing in their minds, y'know, ‘cause there's so many sleeping people-huh-huh You can call it that if you want to
Jimi Hendrix reveals that their goal is to awaken people's minds and souls through their music, especially since there are so many people who are apathetic or "asleep" in society.

What do you like to hear, if somebody comes up after a concert, what kind of Complement do you like?
Dick Cavett asks Jimi Hendrix about the type of compliment he prefers to receive after a concert.

I don't know, I don't really live on complements, matter of fact it has a way of Distracting me, an' a whole lot of other musicians and artists that are out there today You know. They hear all these compliments, they say "Wow, I must have been really Great…
Jimi Hendrix admits that he doesn't care for compliments because they can be distracting and cause artists to become complacent and forget about their actual talent.

Uh-huh
Dick Cavett acknowledges Jimi Hendrix's response.

…so they get fat and satisfied, and they get lost, and they forget about their actual Talent that they have, and they start livin' into another world
Jimi Hendrix explains that some artists can become overindulgent and lose sight of their true talent if they receive too many compliments.
