Guillotine Machine "McLovins" (original)

[bulenterdem1977]

the guitarist is terrific!

[zech127]

glad i stumbled upon your video when watching dead shows haha

[GonzoDr78]

The guitarist's natural ability to phrase and transition between his lead and rhythm chops is really amazing. Pretty damn great ability to jam like that and especially at any age. But especially being so young he has a great future ahead of him. And the rest of the band will follow his lead, and rock on for a long time together.

[rockerfan12196]

I am a recent fan of yours and about the same age as your guitarist, and am one myself. I have a question for him, how do you solo. I've been trying to figure this stuff out for ever and can't figure out how to improvise good, please help. I know the modes and pentatonic scales but what do i do with them. Anyone's help is appreciated

[djbot]

lol the b7 to the 6 sounds like the cissy strut lick on the IV chord, sick song tho

[timeticker326]

gentlemen, you have EARNED another subscriber

[lordladychicka]

for those of you who dont like them ask yourself.....Could you do better? Or even get close to sounding like them?

[goosetuff79]

you guys are sick. both of your albums on my ipod. "getting high on information. where you think that come from check your sources." oh no need sir. thats red hot chili peppers californication.

[Ostedude]

I listen to this everyday ;O

[jealgatre]

wow !!! amazing !!

[kengolfnut]

Fuck that kid can play the guitar... A talented trio for sure.

[bulenterdem1977]

which brand-model of amp and pedal does the guitarist use? he has an excellent overdrive tone!

[photodharma]

I gotta get Conundrum. Maybe I'll pick it up in Canton or at the Kate.

Good Catch is AWESOME (picked that up in Granby last week, which was an awesome show).

[sniperpeeps]

You guys need to play at Wanee Music Fest next year...seriously

[IntuitiveMediums]

3:00 - 3:30 the guitarist found a really nice frusciante style solo. well done. i love you guys

[cmfishburn]

mclovin spoonfull, and you guys are good, not just cause your young, but because you rock

[cmfishburn]

mclovin spoonfull

[sharnna4499]

RAD!!!!!

[VolcomSk8r14]

That is some awesome bluesy prog-rock ya got there fella's! Keep the music alive!

[popomczowzow]

wow looking back at this and now their more recent videos, you can see the singer has already improved incredibly

[ekzakkly]

every song i listen to i like more, but i think this may be my favorite. i love the perfect combination of jam/funk/soul and blues in between all the instruments.

[BlinkBeer]

Hey just found you guys tonight, See you at Keen on Sat., I'll make the drive from Albany. Bring the funk....

[faouar]

You are great.

[adamisunartistic]

speechless

[adamisunartistic]

holy shit

[XguitarrockerX]

you guys are really good, sounds absolutely great! Very professional sounding licks, and what I like most is the song structure it's crazy and unexpected, I like that!

[civictuner91]

Man this drummers voice is what makes them! as soon as i hear that funky voice i know its them haha, truly unique.

[ekzakkly]

@civictuner91 kinda like les claypool

[umphishin]

3:00-5:00 is great, well the whole thing was great, but I love that the jam got a little dark in the middle. Too many jam bands are riding the feel good wave, there needs to be equal balance in emotion.  well done!!

[tbsbass1220]

still cant get over ur guitar player he fuckin RIPS IT UP....you fuckers better play vibes this year

[popomczowzow]

love the riff at 1:50. love it. will buy the album as soon as my itunes is up and running again.

[thunt1130]

turn the bassist UP

[jorgemonteza]

lo hacen biene stos niños sino fuera por que tiene cara de idiotas pero tiene talento sigan asi

[LMNLS]

Needs more cowbell!

[JizzFaceLover]

Not an insult, but you should get a keyboardist with a very solid voice. The drummer can sing, but would be better suited for backup. I think the vocals are holding you back a bit from sounding truely professional. Drummer, you're drumming is spot on though, i'm not knocking you at all. Just see the potential. It's just with all the jamming someone that only sings may get bored only performing in 1/8 of the total set but two guitars isn't a good idea for you imo. Strong key/vocals member

[operasinger61904]

don't listen to him. his name is Jizzfacelover for christ's sake.

[foxman14651]

@operasinger61904 keyboard would be sick to be honest

[SpreadHeadLINC]

his name is JizzFaceLOver, but he has a good point. And seriously no offense to the drummer, cause he kicks it....tight snare and symbol licks. A sick keyboardist would REALLY round out this group...and yes, a strong voice would help to. Drummer's voice isn't bad by any means, just not a great frontman voice.

[dustinspangler]

Come to Denver and play the Fillmore. If you play, they will come.

[swtguy5113]

how do your parents react to the attention you guys get? They must be very supportive. Clean playing there

[themayking666]

I heard the drummer's mom is the manager...haha

[swtguy5113]

Plus one on support from their parents if thats true. Very inspiring band as i am 19 years old these kids are 14-16! amazing

[popomczowzow]

You guys are SICK. I can't get enough of you. The only things crazier than your technical abilities are your creative musical minds and great musical chemistry.

I hope you guys make it big- NEVER quite music, and don't get a backup plan, because way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way shittier bands have made it. You guys play a mix of all my favorite styles of music; I heard 1 or 2 SRV licks, a lot of funk, and some great Phish-esque jamming.

Peace out

[tewklerizer]

you guys are dirty.

I saw the story in the Courant, so keep getting noticed

and props to bass man. it's tough finding a good bass player

[Qwalo]

hey j love the song but the drumer needs to like sit down with a metronome and play with it

also with a tuner for his voice cause its off alot

[strife8082]

one of my new fav bands.. saw them at sullys the other night and im hooked

[Dudeman91]

yay!

[MrRusky69]

The drummer? He was fine. His rifts in between sound like he's off buts it's just his style and goes well with the overall sound. I liked it.

[ludwigdrummer521]

i love this band, but the only thing that agitates me is the drummer. he really needs to start playing with a metronome.

[gretschdrummer22]

Dude, listen to their myspace version of this song...the drummer is comparable to Mitch Mitchell. I hope he sounds as good when i see him at vibes as he does on the myspace version of this song.

[ludwigdrummer521]

thats because in the recording he's playing to a click. i guarantee live the tempo will be all over the place.

[drummercl]

Hey man we didn't use a click when we did the recording...

[ludwigdrummer521]

yeah, i can tell

[drummercl]

no like on the album, which is significantly better than this recording

[ludwigdrummer521]

oh, wow. i gata get me a copy of that

[ludwigdrummer521]

if you thought shoreline was good before, check it out now. we got the final version (actually edited) along with 3 other songs!

[joerip1]

What?

[mackerall19]

see you dudes at gathering of the vibes keep on jammin out

[hamab12]

That's one ugly dude, but damn he plays an irate guitar. 5/5 keep it up. There's definite potential in you guys.

[kirbyrocknroll]

I'm around you guys' ages and I'm jealous of your ability! Tell me when you make it to San Francisco!

[JohntyPython434]

the major 3rd at 2:35 fits beautifully

[Wutangforlife111]

GUYS. seriously, I dont know where you live now, but make it out here to santa barbara california. I need to hear you live. You all are amazing. PEACE

[vampiressx]

Guys,

You are AWESOME!. Whatever you do, DONT develop a drug dependancy on your way up. :) Seriously though, you guys totally kick arse. Very nice indeed.

[sabres1092]

Along with the Phish and Jerry undertones, can almost hear a little Ritchie Blackmore in the guitarist.

[rodekill27]

haha and some trey from phish too, such a funky band

[bradrulz1973]

NATURAL TALENT! I saw your Shakedown Street... I was looking for video instruction on how to play it. I have since watched every one of the McLovin posts. This is golden! Dont stop, you could do this professionally.

[Femi696969]

The guitar player is like a nerdy John Fruisciante...In a good way

[FatalToenail]

This song is by far your best original in my opinion. Love the guitar, bass, and drums. Vocals are not bad, especially for singing while drumming which is extremely difficult, but could be better. Overall you have a fantastic, original sound which is awesome to listen to.

[mta630]

Chicago is listening to yall now too!! you guys never stop making music, because this is amazing.

[jjaaakkkee]

sick, probably my favorite original by you guys

[pcfresh88]

fuckkkkk yeahhh

[Nugz102]

come to South Bend. This song is a jam.

[Displaysac90]

::Face melts::

[RadioReligion]

holy shit 2:32 is like the ultimate "may I help you riff"

I'd kill for a few tabs of this

also, what pedals is the guitarist using?

[yason13]

boss me-50

[AdamTheFenderBender]

what amp is the guitarist using?

[axlovin12]

fender hot rod deluxe

[bossdj531]

you guys are ridiculous

you better never stop playing that guitar kid

[dayummdashott]

I NEED MORE COW BELL!

lol love you guys!

Chris Giesselman

[jackleplatneyvideos]

AMAZING

[TrapperKeeper2k]

MCLOVINS!!!!

[ubetbaby]

I LOVE THE MCLOVINS

where is your next gig? i am coming

[SacrificeThePoor]

DAMNIT I NEED TO JAM NOW, WORD UP

[Tom111Zep]

fucking amazing i complained earlier on in your posting about you guys not having originals...I now give you all my respects im baked as shit and that song was insanely intriguing and epic. Keep pumping out the music from your soul guys

[lamppostpizza]

man you guys give me so much motivation. I'm 15 and after watching your youtube videos i was like "oh shit i need to practice," so i've double my practice time and quit my old band that practiced like once every 2 months and started a new and much better band. every time i need to be motivated to practice or write songs or something i just watch a McLovins video and it totally turns my outlook around.

[rdrummer1]

i saw you guys from your phish videos, which werent bad, but this original material is fucking sweet! pretty good flow, definatly good material, but i think expanding with a few more musicians would definatly aid your sound.

[Sojin1]

i cant believe how good you guys are for being so young, stick together and dont take the 1st offer you get for signing

[murph2398]

you guys are ripping this... so good

[cryingmelodies25]

I can't believe this is an original. You guys are going places.

[yankeeses]

keep it raw fellas... theyll try to commercialize ya but stay strong

[simonnovak]

You guys are gonna be big.

This songs blows my mind.

Keep it coming.

[nirvanabrahman]

Kid can shred!! His face at the end is priceless. Way to go fellas. Keep grooven!!

[huebertd]

what are the lyrics

[huebertd]

wow, great stuff. I too love the last 2 minutes the most. rocking out.

[NoSafety5]

your guitar player has an extremely natural and emotional feel for the guitar, like it's a part of him. kinda like a jimi hendrix / john fruciante thing goin on. and i dont compare people to the great john fruciante. he influences me so much in more ways than you'd think so this is big haha

[dgothelf]

KEEP IT UP!

[alexkickscan]

The SOAM of the McLovins. This song pwns and has major jam potential.

[AdvancedBiff]

You guys are rockin! I'll subscribe.

[markah22]

Oustanding new song! Thanks for posting!

....I would love to hear you guys cover some Jimi Hendrix...

[ajmcdavis]

you guys are really amazing. got any cd's out? looking for a manager??

[JCastle19]

You guys rock it so hard towards the tail end of this song. Awesome!!!!

[gryffindor863]

you guys are amazing and can go somewhere, but you might want an original name, not one from a movie, if your going somewhere you might want something that is your own, no one will want a band who isnt original

[stevieVantanna]

Yeah they'll go somewhere for sure. That guitar player is one of the best I've heard - he has So much feel it's unreal.

[markah22]

I disagree with you, gryffindor863 -- the name is totally fitting and they can own it even if it is a reference to a movie. (Besides...it's thinly veiled enough!)

[gryffindor863]

how is it fitting and also its not original, they probably are going to have to because of copy right issues if they get signed to a label

[markah22]

It's fitting in that they're adopting the persona of the character from the movie.

Secondly - are you a copyright attorney? Their name is not "The Superbads" and I highly doubt that the fictional character's fictional name is trademarked.

McLovins - don't change your name!

[gryffindor863]

i dont see how they fit the name at all, if their name was micky mouse you probably would find ways to say they are like micky mouse and also with all the merchandise and products sold with the name mclovin on it, there is bound to be a copyright on the name. big corporations can do what ever they want, and its easy for them to.

[trevorp1986]

I totally agree the name is funny for now but in the long run its just going to look ridiculous

[rothburyvezzy]

wow smokin

[i3i2ian]

Keep it up guys!

the groove is rock solid

[jn273181]

wow. in all honesty, you all are easily better than 90% of the live acts around me. you could bring 100ppl out any day of the week.

[bcelos182]

YA JASON

[Mastafigz]

you boys are amazing

[SpraypaintRoss]

I'm so glad i clicked this

just watching you guys inspires me - good shit.

'out on the loose'

keep doing what you are doing.

[digiprez77]

DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO!!! They told Buddy Holly a three piece band wouldn't work too. You guys are tight.

[Royal9186]

vocals are fine, keys are the only thing missing

[niederhau]

Are these guys all really 13 years old? The guitarist straight-up melted my face and it sounds like a young John Paul Jones on the bass. The drummer can play too, though he needs some work on vocals, or maybe get another Mclovin look-alike frontman to sing. Not bashing them by any means--I just think that improving the vocal delivery would take them from being a talented curiosity to being a rock-solid band truly worthy of national attention and acclaim.

[davidfiddy]

yes! im diggin it man. but yeah, just find some keys and you guys could go places man.

[pooflavin]

definitly blew my mind u dudes rock u do need to find yourselves a keyboard player and then get in a festival id eat a ten strip and watch u guys play. oh yeah and cover a good grateful dead song like china cat sunflower

[hatinwork]

Musi jams, attitude is hill, ool guys for being so youne. Be sure to keep us up to date on your touring / studio time!

[cotchept]

plz no moe style,these r kids not old men. go for a happy medium between phish and bisco, find a keyboard player too.

[polididian]

Your greatest!

[youenjoymyslf527]

you guys are the shit

[thehurricaine23]

Nice work, wish I could hit one of your shows

[musicsquaw]

HELL YES! great job guys!

[cmcn145]

FUGYES!

[widespreadpanc]

awesome. the face at the end is great as well

[BLEhizz]

you know any moe.tunes? I would love to hear a nice Rebub or if you guys knew how to play like Lazarus or Yodelittle that would be awesome.

[cottagecheese4ever]

yall need an interior decorator, STAT sirs. but good music!!

[dickersoncarter]

Basslovin, hang on to those notes a lil longer, especially the opening note.

good work all around, McLovins!

[Displaysac90]

Fresh. I have to be greedy. MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE

[msutch]

Keep it up!

[mastrmanagr]

Nice work fellas.

[kiddpunkadelic]

great song, incredible solo! keep it up!!

[captaingraff]

an organ grind would blast that off to space

that outro with horns? good stuff guys

are the lyrics about Capitalism's global oppression and/or our BS financial system of never-ending debt?

lol I don't know

[rjcroteauiii]

incredible tune. I love the King Crimson influence you can hear. Just amazing.

You 3 are an inspiration

[aisandler]

WOW, awesome, please keep posting more.

[GratefulRoman]

nice work guys your sound is sick

[mudpies]

This will make an amazing jam vehicle.

[dankb82]

[mblume11]

you guys are great

PT SUPERSTARS

[NcDubstep]

"Dammit! I totally wanted to rip on you punks;) Well done guys. Nice song. And check out Ax classing things up with the button-up (no homo)."

lol

[HillbillyEgghead]

You kids got it alright. This is the best of your originals. All THREE of you fellas have something special going on and I encourage you to listen to as much music as possible and ignore most random 'advice'. You clearly are on the right path so don't change now.

Keep your heads clean avoid the temptations and keep playing/practicing/listening and you will do amazing things. I am officially a fan.

[kevinls85]

Especially ignore requests for Bisco covers!

[reallywut]

That was hype.

Bombsaway

[jbworkman]

eff yeah!

[logan3088]

what a fuckin sick transition at 2:50 - 3:10. enough said

[bertolet1]

I have seen the future, and it is McLovinlicious.

[inkdesignstudios]

i seriously cant say enough. wow!

[jaflora344]

I love the face Axlovin makes at the end of this!

Also, someone needs to send this video to some record label or someone, because these kids have sick talent. I would gladly pay money to see you dudes jam out live!

[jaflora344]

Nice work! Keep it coming, brahs.

[cstefanile]

Dammit! I totally wanted to rip on you punks;) Well done guys. Nice song. And check out Ax classing things up with the button-up (no homo).

[slipperyeel111]

[ilan27]

Holy shit, you just killed it.

[gonnabeahustla]

WELL DONE DUDES CANT WAIT FOR MORE!!!

[Brandozer]

well your guitar player is pretty damned rad. seriously top notch. if you three can keep this going for another 5-6 years... who knows where you can take it.

[muddykid]
