when i was 10 years old, i bought my first record, 'Band of Gybsys' / now i'm 53 and it is still under my top 10. Hendrix just became such a great performer before he has died. A shame---
This band is starting to sound as well as look like some sort of all-star band. Manni von Bohr looks a bit like a combo of Geddy Lee and Johnny Winter.
I saw Randy Hansen doing this show back in 1979 at the Oakland Coliseum. The show was John Cougar Mellancamp who got booed off after 2 songs. Bill Graham chastized us, we booed him. Then Richie Blackmores Rainbow promoting Down To Earth with Graham Bonnet. They did amazing! And headlining was Randy Hansen's Machine Gun? Yes, its true. Ritchie felt intimidated by Randy and didn't wanna follow him. RAndy did the full hendrix show and blew everyone away. I never knew y until last week. I read it
bravo c'est la perfection !venez en france et je viens vous voir ,c'est le meilleur cover de hendrix que j'ai entendu il y a tout dans votre prestation ! encore bravo continuez a nous faire revivre des bons moments comme ça!
I've seen Randy 6 times aned every time I see him, I feel Jimi's soul found Randy!!! I saw him at the Moore way back when with Mitch Michell on drums. Randy and the Band started playing at about midnight as they were waiting for the basss player. Mitch started out playing the base as Randys base player was hanging out in China town? LATE!!! Finally after the 2nd or 3rd song the bass player walked out on stage, ,Mitch Michell went to drums and for the next 2 hours I was blown away!!!
So much people hate on him , they should keep in mind that hes just tryin to keep the spirit of jimis music alive , thats what Jimi said himself , he wanted people to play his music and celebrate it after he had died... instead of appreciating Hansens work so many faggots hate on his nearly perfect artwork
A man did this nearly 42 years ago. A man who is my musician no 1. The most innovative, creative, patternbreaker, and surprising composer/arranger on guitar ever : Jimi Hendrix.
"Do we need this" many people will say?. Yes,, yes we do. GOOD music should be played as often as possible. There are alot of interpretations of Jimi´s music, which in a way are more interesting, BUT when it comes down to a "note by note" version, Randy earns all the respect he can get.
@pbstratocaster This takes a lot faway from his personal living time cuz he is living Jimis life again and not his so in a way he is wasting his years beeing jimi but in as way its worthit and stil...... very danferous to your soul
Randy!!! The Swing Auditorium,1978 or so. The Rainbow show, with Blackmore. Announcer: "Randy Hansen has cancelled" so Rain-butt plays with Mr. 'Not So Awesome' Ritchie Backdoor. Crowd is leaving, Announcer: Randy Hansen is here now. Randy hits the stage and yells out: "THIS ONE'S FOR YOU RITCHIE!!!" and flat fucked that guitar up. We all new what his comment meant -- "If you can't play, stay off the stage". The Swing was brutal on bands -- and Ritchie was scared. Randy, YOU ROCK!!!
OMG !!! I heard randy do his bit as ozzy before, as I listened to this I shut my eyes and I could see Hendrix. I have never gotten emotional before with anyone except Hendrix. This song brought back alot of memories.
@TheSmartTeam2010 you may be thinking that 'copied' means 'cheapened'??? THINK of the humility work and respect Randy has had to have to carry this off so honorably. Every time you take a breath, you'copy' every other person on this planet. Stop breathing. Sorry you do not see and hear the difference between this and a "parrot saying I love you". Wow! I'm guessing you do not eat steak because the steak is 'trying to be a cow'???? Jimi would not be offended by this, I truly believe.
Fucking epic. I kept recognising licks which sounded just as Jimi had played them! But also this cover gave me that feeling of euphoria I can usually only achieve by listening to Hendrix. Thank you so much!
Original? With this song? He's a hell of an impersonator! Not original here buddy - he's really going for the perfect impersonation. Leave it at that. Talented, fuck yea but I can't give props to guys walking in others' footsteps. Not that I could play this... just callin' you out though.
@ufowalter Great! Machine gun was very good also. Instead of Foxey lady, Id rather hear....MMM SO GOOD YEAH, OH SO TASTY HERE COMES A WOMAN WRAPPED UP IN CHAIN YOU'RE FOOLIN' WITH THAT FOOL BABY YOU PUT YOUR LIFE IN PAIN IF YOU WANT TO BE FREE COME ON ALONG WITH ME AND LEAVE THE HARD HEADED MAN HE'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND I SAID A FIND YOURSELF FIRST AND THEN YOUR TALENT WORK HARD IN YOUR MIND FOR IT COULD COME ALIVE THEN PROOVE TO THE MAN THAT UNDERSTANDS THE EYES ARE GOD
cool..I just bought this CD..the voodoo bass on this is just fantazmafukkingoric...as is Manni and of course Randy...check out the Fender Strat test vid......hehe......GOOGLE.......... Randy Hansen Band:How 2 end an encore...thanx guys 4 the best entertainmenat and for keepin that spirit alive...peace
And I can't forget to give a shout out to the rhythm section. Bad ass work!!! All the way around. Crap I am still wrapping my head around all of this. I can't believe I've never heard of this group before. Man-oh-man. :)
Was this dude born the day Jimi died? Amazing, truly amazing talent here. I hope to get to this level in about 20 more years, let's hope arthritis doesn't stop me before then!
There are lot of us who do killer Hendrrix and we all have our followers who insist we do it the best. But I bet if you put us all in a room, we would unanimously vote Mr. Hansen as the best of the best. He just downright smoke us all!
Wow, that is spooky good, that's Jimi's tone exactly. I still listen to Band of Gypsys regularly...the drums and bass are spot on too. I just heard of Randy today. Great job by everyone!
1.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 times better than any Beatles song. And this is not even Hendrix, it's the ghost of Hendrix, Randy is the paradigm of Hendrix, Soul transition, or whatever, Randy is the real deal.
I'm living in Bosnia and I don'n know how can I get this DVD or where can I buy this DVD. I realy want these. I never seen someone plays Machine Gun like Jimi. This is amazing.Randy is TOP,the hole band is TOP
@DropCough High E string, 15th fret, bend up to the 17th fret and hold it. That is all there is too it. Ah, but how to get the sound. It is not flipping the pickup switch or a wha. You need your amp cranked and Fuzz Face pushing it. The key to the sound is a Univox Univibe. You can buy a remake from Jim Dunlop. The next best thing would be an EH Small Stone phase shifter. I have to tell you, when you plug a Strat through a Univibe into a Marshall, it's instant Bando fo Gypsies.
Closed my eyes for a minute, thought it was Jimi actually playin'. Hats off to you Sir, great interpretation of Machine Gun. By far the best I've heard. WOW!!!
@RebelThoughts must have done years of perfecting the moves to get those exact mistakes Jimi was making hahaha but its worth it at least you can see what jimi did this time
Randy NEVER stopss amazing me....if i didnt discover jimi hendrix at an early age i would think this was him..you guys are kickin ass and takin all names
what else could it be other than "machine gun" so heavy it gives me the goosebumps everytime i hear it.this version is cool and it is truly uncanny that randy
is pretty much nailing jimi's tone! randy,you are one heck of a brother to keep hendrix's music on the soundstage.keep it going bro! rockit! yeah rockit! lol!
Whoops. Forget the Steinberger Bass question (I was thinking of a different video where I thought I saw you playing a headless bass - Not here..... Looks like a Fender P-bass or perhaps a G&L). Never mind.
Wow, this is incredible (Found this link on the KR Musical Products website). If you guys make it to New England, I'll be there. This is like the 'fully-realized' version of "Machine Gun". And that univibe tone. I want a Megavibe so bad. I made my way up the wait-list, but then I hit a financial speedbump and didn't have the extra $300 when my name finally came up. Oh well. Someday. That thing is the end-all, be-all of univibe-replicas.
Ufo, is that a Steinberger bass, or some custom headless?
What can I say that hasn't been said.....wow!!!! except the drummer screws the fantasy up!!!!! just when I really start to think it's Jimi.....the camera shows the drummer and it's ruined (not that his playing is off, just that the kit doesn't fit in....his appearance doesn't fit in either)....oh well....still another reason nothing compares to the REAL Jimi....all others are just rip offs
Being someone who has been perfecting Hendrix covers for thirty years myself, this guy is the ULTIMATE tribute. The time, dedication, and love of the music is obvious. I love the vid on here of "Hear My Train." Hansen does it best....
I seen Randy back in 77 and I was blown away. I remember him playing 1983 a merman I should turn to be -- wow! For those who might remember The Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino Ca at that time may have experienced the same thang let me know --peace.
fuckin a man i wouldnt even be able to tell the difference between this guy's gear and hendrix's, what the fuck?!?! I'm not really feelin the drummer tho
In the early 80s, I saw Randy Hansen open a show in Oakland, followed by John Cougar and Richie Blackmore. Hansen was so amazing, that the crowd booed Cougar off the stage and Blackmore brought Hansen back on to jam at the end. He is truly under appreciated.....a great feel for Hendrix, indeed.
You don't have any tourdates in Holland so we decided to go to Germany.
First time i'm going to see the Randy Hansen band almost 40 years after Jimi's spirit left this earth and it's great to see and hear how you keep Jimi's legacy alive!
So until friday lookin forward to it and hope you'll play this one as well!!
Holy f*ck!ng Sh!t seriously amazing. What's the possibility Hendrix had a son he didn't know about named Randy!!!! lol Not the real thing but as about as close as you can get.
Just got my tickets to the show on June 4th, 2010 @ Pilly's Keswick Theater. Seen Randy back in 79',80', & 83'. Always the consumate performer and keeper of the flame of Jimi Hendrix. Can't wait to see the show!. Only East Cast performance so far. I am there, Beavis!......Rock on with Randy and the Hendrix Tribute.
Excellent performance!!! Randy is fantastic as always. Ufo and Manni are a fantastic rhythm section for Randy. They also are very true and dedicated to the music of Jimi. Outstanding performance guys!!! I will be picking up a copy of this great dvd.
As a life long apostle of Jimi {even my son is named Jimi after him} i must say that was great...
COME TO ENGLAND!!! Jimi still has a massive following over here, and i would love to go and see you, i have been on a personal tour around Electric Lady and play guitar myself.
This guy's great- weird that hendrix was a lefthander and played a right handed guitar- and this guy is a right hander and plays a left handed guitar. Also is it just me or is he the love child of Austin powers and Hendrix?
very very excellent.

is pretty much nailing jimi's tone! randy,you are one heck of a brother to keep hendrix's music on the soundstage.keep it going bro! rockit! yeah rockit! lol!

Whoops. Forget the Steinberger Bass question (I was thinking of a different video where I thought I saw you playing a headless bass - Not here..... Looks like a Fender P-bass or perhaps a G&L). Never mind.

Wow, this is incredible (Found this link on the KR Musical Products website). If you guys make it to New England, I'll be there. This is like the 'fully-realized' version of "Machine Gun". And that univibe tone. I want a Megavibe so bad. I made my way up the wait-list, but then I hit a financial speedbump and didn't have the extra $300 when my name finally came up. Oh well. Someday. That thing is the end-all, be-all of univibe-replicas.
Ufo, is that a Steinberger bass, or some custom headless?

What can I say that hasn't been said.....wow!!!! except the drummer screws the fantasy up!!!!! just when I really start to think it's Jimi.....the camera shows the drummer and it's ruined (not that his playing is off, just that the kit doesn't fit in....his appearance doesn't fit in either)....oh well....still another reason nothing compares to the REAL Jimi....all others are just rip offs

Being someone who has been perfecting Hendrix covers for thirty years myself, this guy is the ULTIMATE tribute. The time, dedication, and love of the music is obvious. I love the vid on here of "Hear My Train." Hansen does it best....

I seen Randy back in 77 and I was blown away. I remember him playing 1983 a merman I should turn to be -- wow! For those who might remember The Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino Ca at that time may have experienced the same thang let me know --peace.

There' no one like Hendrix, but if you close your eyes you can't tell the difference.
Glad Randy is holding up the torch.

In the early 80s, I saw Randy Hansen open a show in Oakland, followed by John Cougar and Richie Blackmore. Hansen was so amazing, that the crowd booed Cougar off the stage and Blackmore brought Hansen back on to jam at the end. He is truly under appreciated.....a great feel for Hendrix, indeed.

hello Ufo, we had a great evening in Neuss and we definitely come again.
Hope in Holland but if it there will be no tourdates in holland in 2011 we come to Germany again.
Randy is great and he's got a great duo backing him up!
Say hi to Randy!
Greetings Mike.

You don't have any tourdates in Holland so we decided to go to Germany.
First time i'm going to see the Randy Hansen band almost 40 years after Jimi's spirit left this earth and it's great to see and hear how you keep Jimi's legacy alive!
So until friday lookin forward to it and hope you'll play this one as well!!
Goosebumps!!

Just got my tickets to the show on June 4th, 2010 @ Pilly's Keswick Theater. Seen Randy back in 79',80', & 83'. Always the consumate performer and keeper of the flame of Jimi Hendrix. Can't wait to see the show!. Only East Cast performance so far. I am there, Beavis!......Rock on with Randy and the Hendrix Tribute.

Excellent performance!!! Randy is fantastic as always. Ufo and Manni are a fantastic rhythm section for Randy. They also are very true and dedicated to the music of Jimi. Outstanding performance guys!!! I will be picking up a copy of this great dvd.

Thanks for posting this...and COME TO ENGLAND!!!

This guy's great- weird that hendrix was a lefthander and played a right handed guitar- and this guy is a right hander and plays a left handed guitar. Also is it just me or is he the love child of Austin powers and Hendrix?
