Things seem weird if they are unusual, not what everyone else does, unique etc. These qualities are all often good in art, especially in music.

Hendrix was often unique, frequently did something different to what everyone else did, and a lot of the time he was unusual.

So yes, he was weird - that was (and still is) part of his appeal.
