Jimi Hendrix - Machine Gun

[claptongroupie]

geez this goes beyond awesome. I don't think they have invented a word yet that can really describe Hendrix

[SoundboyEric]

@claptongroupie God is one, cliche as it is especially on youtube it just fits so damn perfectly.

[delta9LouDog]

@claptongroupie yea they have, it's hendrix

[yetipicklez]

long live Jimi hendrix

[Y2JChrisJ]

Gutitar Playing Lvl : Jimi "The God of the Guitar" Hendrix

[markmarktarmann]

the live version with billy cox buddy miles "band of gypsies" is 87,456 times better and 72,888,665 times funkier than this. check it and tell us what you think.

[owenm31]

OMG HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD THIS VERSION OF THE SONG

[shinyraygun]

Fascinating to hear him scatting with his guitar... like at 6:22. It shows that he was not "playing" the guitar like most people do... He was using the guitar as a direct extension of his inner creative voice that did not follow normal musical rules. That was his genius.

[snk07]

9 people don't have an Univibe pedal :)

[zoedeq]

@snk07 Hahaha You´ve got that wright.

[14leonw]

im pretty sure this album aint come out in 75' cuz he died in 1970

[Mrvoodoochild1]

@14leonw Hendrix music has been coming out well after his death.

[MercyCWDancing]

I like to listen to this while doing algebra...not smoking weed, or pot..or coke.

Or while drinking.

Just doing algebra.

Is that so wrong? Geez. Lushes.

[TheREVOLUTION2day]

@MercyCWDancing weed and pot or the same thing you dumbass

[MercyCWDancing]

@TheREVOLUTION2day Well, thank you for enlightening me, darling, as I would not know otherwise since I don't engage in such imbecile activities like killing brain cells that cannot be replaced.

[TheREVOLUTION2day]

@MercyCWDancing weed promotes the growth of brain cells stupid fuck. do some research before you open your mouth.

[MercyCWDancing]

@TheREVOLUTION2day God bless you.

[CombatSigil]

@MercyCWDancing To be true, being alive kills more brain cells than anything else, and if certain musicians didn't partake in such 'imbecilic' activities as self medication, then we wouldn't have alot of this wonderful music. And, in before argument:

Have you ever played guitar while under the influence of lysergic diathylamide? Me neither, but this man certainly did, and did well. And I'd wager he wouldn't much care for his music being the prefix to an irrational argument.=]

[delta9LouDog]

@MercyCWDancing you're ignantassfuk

[TheMetalMuzik]

[tacitus2244]

[GuitarAxisdotcom]

[markmarktarmann]

@GuitarAxisdotcom thanks. the band of gypsies version smokes this one

[stefanheichen]

[wedontknowone1]

@arcticfox1010 dont you think everyone here is the same way in one way or another? no need to point out the obvious

[LivinWorstNightmare]

Is this album still in print? I've been wanting to buy it for a while and can never find it.

[1darknessghost]

Is it the american army or other?

[1darknessghost]

[RainyDaysMusic]

Awesome !!!

[Theshomchez]

wow, you guys should try this!!!

scratch your eyes hard and then read the lyrics (or any other text here), while listening to this...blows you away without drugs! xD

[Theshomchez]

@Theshomchez scratch that, scratch only ONE eye!

[NickKingThe1st]

tchkdtchktdtchktdt wah wahhhh

[Kelly14UK]

@NickKingThe1st You just took the comment right away from my right digit lol

[NickKingThe1st]

@Kelly14UK Lol i was surprised no one had already said it :L

[LEEdseveryone]

I am a left handed guitar player too! Nothing ever comes easy you have to try different solutions to solve simple prolbems. WAR IS NEVER THE ANSWER

[jthauser]

@LEEdseveryone Same. Being a left handed quitar player just makes everything so much more deft and powerfully strong. In my opinion.

[Kelly14UK]

Defensive war. Yeah. But politicians conscripting guys to kill, or get maimed or killed.? NO. And being shot for " cowardice" ?

Hendrix was 101st and got discharged for his constant AWOLing lol

[wesiam88]

@Kelly14UK And masturbating in the day room lmfao

[Kelly14UK]

Good on him. I hate these pompous lectures from people who decide I'm a maggot and a faggot just to spout off " these people fought and died for you blah blah blah ". Oh God I can't be bothered explaining myself to them...

[xstingrayx]

00:12 Most epic and most awesome drum and guitar entry EVER! packs a punch fellas

[Dropletism]

well its nice to know that with modern day music people like jimi are rolling in thier graves!! :::::)))))

[RADOMIRATA]

7 bieber fans



[TheAlijun1]

Fuck man... THIS MAN HAD SOUL!

[St33zYGh0sT]

Day 27 and we're still searching for arcticfox1010's comment. Running out of food and water.

[damnrightman13]

@St33zYGh0sT hahaha lol

[LovePeaceAndChronic]

@St33zYGh0sT I genuinely LOL'd

[nyashahove]

@St33zYGh0sT Day 1 tired of trying to figure out what st33zYGh0st is referring to, goin to Jam with Jimi !!

[magictuesday42]

@St33zYGh0sT click all comments, then press crtl+f and type "arcticfox1010" and boom you found it.. (if you have firefox)

[NervRulz]

Dear Jimi Hendrix, I know that you are going to read this from heavern, and so on I have to tell you that words of wisdom are exiting your mouth and godlike sounds out of your guitar while you played every smashing song.

[username91ification]

This picture will be in kids' history books in 2112 as "Jimi Hendrix, one of the leading composers of the psychedelic era."

[JoiiLife]

I miss the 60's even though i was born in the 90's

[addogru1]

this is best of the machine gun !!

[MizzNae126]

I'm on the edge of tears at how much I miss this man.

[spanky1337357]

@MizzNae126 were you alive when he was still alive? :O

There are so many artists that died before i was born, or when i was too young to appreciate their music that I wish I could see them live in concert.

Jimi Hendrix

Kurt Cobain

Freddy Mercury

Just a couple of them.

[MizzNae126]

@spanky1337357 no dear, I'm only 21, but lord knows I wish I was alive in his era. I love Jimi <3

[jimigibsonhendrix]

@MizzNae126 i have been in tears this man is so good i cant say how good in words i wish he was still around we need people from another planet like jimi he mad my brain nearly pop out of my head with his Awsome guitar skills R.I.P Jimi forever gone but forever in our hearts ...

[MizzNae126]

@jimigibsonhendrix well said!

[TheRiko916]

Stupid 7, its great.

[MRSANMONT]

woooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww

[MrLugar45]

7 people stick to muskets

[emotionalinvalid]

Those other guitar parts(tracks) are probably played by H too. Just assuming since this is a studio and not a live recording. A little messy but still incredible.

[Mrpostman1011]

I've just came out of the womb and behalf of my generation, I'm sorry that we have such shitty music. (justin beiber) :)

[blaoh9]

@Mrpostman1011 Sérieusement MERCI, enfin quelqu'un qui si connait en musique, at least there is some hope, thank you

[Loosewire2]

This song makes me wet.

[Ruby2052]

i'd never actually heard this one before

[Ruby2052]

[abnerockstarswag]

[NANDO218]

[Randybeam94]

[BossBellini]

The drums sound just like a machine gun.

[shanehenning26]

[niggaT42000]

I REALLY HOPE YOU KIDS DON'T CALL YOURSELVES 'OUTKAST'

PUT A FOOT DOWN, OR UP AN ASS

I'M TELLIN' YA

[FreddyGuy925]

@niggaT42000

The kids who don't listen to Hendrix are the real outcasts.....

[Grubi1990]

"Evil man make me kill ya

Evil man make you kill me

Evil man make me kill you

Even though were only families apart"

He´s simply a genius

[madmonkeymcnite]

4:26

[MrJamesWylde]

aaaaaaaaawwwsome *_*

[motavation69]

hey...you wan to play guitar? listen to this shit

[BruceJBCpaintball]

Fuck this song is so true, I love songs that have meanings to it.

[debeli68]

I shot. Again

[BruceJBCpaintball]

@debeli68 I hate to call ya on this one but........THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID :DDDD

[1KevinsFamousChili1]

@BruceJBCpaintball i think that was the point :P

[BruceJBCpaintball]

@1KevinsFamousChili1 Okay? You're more or less restating what I just said but whatever.

[debeli68]

@BruceJBCpaintball Hahahhaha

[BruceJBCpaintball]

@debeli68 Was that a good or bad laugh??

[debeli68]

@BruceJBCpaintball A good one

[SandmanLiquid]

4:00 his guitar is singing with him

[slpplexi1969]

@SandmanLiquid No, he's singing with his guitar!

[EZIOTHEMASTER]

This track was recorded with the Gypsys, Suns and Rainbows ensemble (Jimi, Mitch, Billy Cox, plus Jerry Velez, Juma Sultan on percussions and Larry Lee on guitar) at the Hit Factory in NY, early September, 1969. The original recording was a bit messy. This Alan Douglas reworking is nice, at least IMO.

[CabbatheHot]

This is the best song in music history.

[loveandpeace71]

I never heard this Song in this version. I wonder how many interpretations Jimi did with his songs. Once i had a tape with rare Songs. I tried hard to find them but still no success. But o.k. listening to the stuff here is also absolut awesome.

[SlowFingers12]

@LilWayneMetalGod

thats supposed to be a joke right...

[heyyouthere4]

@LilWayneMetalGod im pretty sure your white my friend.

[TheSweetjonny]

@LilWayneMetalGod Hahahaha, BLATANTLY a troll.

[35fallen35]

"You can clap along if you want to, and if you don't, well, then fuck you ."

[05candyman]

@35fallen35 You got that from the bible.

[05candyman]

@35fallen35 You got that from the bible.

[35fallen35]

@05candyman lol no , i have a dvd with live footage and he says that , it think it was a europe gig he was doing

[05candyman]

@35fallen35 lol i was joking i know u didn't actually get it from the bible but that quote was really good

[35fallen35]

@05candyman i know , the comment made me laugh alittle cause i knew what you meant lol. yeah i first saw it back when i had advanced guitar in high school.

[gtrndkbldgod]

Jimi....why...why do you have to be such a better guitarist....no...such a better musician than me?!?!??

[xabsentimentalx]

Thanks for uploading this!

[jcjordie21]

@LilWayneMetalGod i like rap but what u said is just shit and also lil wayne is a terrible rapper

[bwonder602]

what the fuck is that one guy doing comparing wayne to jimi...fukken idiot



[Ragnarok0Aeirk]

@bwonder602

Dude I seen the same thing on f/b a week ago with some ad trying to categorize and make Amy Winehouse musically eternal........Jimi did everything but crack and you never heard about his self afflictions interfering with how he made his music she did crack and pills etc. not saying that its any better buuuuuuuuuuuutttt she was always in the news and not only that she never made ANY good music.lmao

[da08442]

@LilWayneMetalGod

1. Jimi was in the 101st Airborne thats a pretty big deal. Jimi was an ELITE soldier he got his 101 patch.

2. Jimi grew up in the hood without a mother and his family got fostered away by the gov. (that's dirt poor conditions)

[railcar123]

4:43-5:16....artistry.

[HendrixFreakazoid]

@railcar123 You betcha, gives me chicken skin evreytime.

[thaiboy311]

dude listens to wayne so much that he thinks this song is about grabbing a gun a shooting people but it has a different meaning. Wayne and alot of other rap (not hiphop) artists have fuckin made repetitive ear cancer so much, everytime its about the same exact shit, they aren't innovator, they imitators, black people like bitchwaynemetalfag make black people like me look bad cuz their so damn ignorant, go crack open a book or something, build ya knowledge up, get spiritual shit

[barriageofsound]

@thaiboy311 Don't feed the trolls dude

[thaiboy311]

@barriageofsound you're right

[thaiboy311]

@LilWayneMetalGod thats the funniest shit i've heard all week

[thaiboy311]

@LilWayneMetalGod hahaha aren't you full of shit my friend

[postalada1]

géppuska!

[IIIGilesIII]

4 people use semi automatics

[sebzmc]

im buying a machine gun

[TheHappiest1]

@sebzmc buy me one too!

[TimMoraal88]

Clapton, Mayer, SRV , Beck and Santana together wouldn't be better then this!

[fatjack1009]

lol 4 people accidently clicked thumbs down

[da08442]

never have i ever heard a musician paint a sonic scene to the extent of hendrix. . Jimi did more for music in a few years than most famous musicians do in decades long careers.

RIP Jimi.

[blisteredvision]

4 people were trembling too hard to properly control their desicion making fingers.

[will11806]

no 4 people blew there own ear drums out by blasting this too hard and wish they could still hear the genius that is/was jimi hendrix

[KageSK8B]

Ok! This song make me cum*.* Fucking powerfull!!!!!!

[kingamin77]

I can hear Jimi!

[bleedingheart292]

I think is was Larry Lee in back round guitar ?

[Luxmaxnike]

3 people just hate alan douglas

[snk07]

3 people don't have an univibe pedal :)

[BigBadDipper]

hey artic fox aint nothin wrong about being in a better time and age i wish i could go back to then

[darknight0dc]

let me tell ya somethin' : midnight lightning was well constructed by the douglas gang in 75, painstakingly getting it close to what the man (jimi) wanted. amen.

[arcticfox1010]

I am kinda a social outcast at my school, i'm stuck in a 60's and 70's world, my nickname is Hippie Child, my best friend is Jimi Hendrix, and I have never been happier.

[wolfmanhawk]

@arcticfox1010 I was 2, still am @ 31. isn't it great?!

[acdcandnerf]

@arcticfox1010 hey man imma outcast at my school too haha

[idkwhattonamemyself]

@arcticfox1010 Right here with you man, society is so backwards right now. There's happiness within yourself, all you have to do is take it. It'll lead you to greatness, all you need for that is patience.

[Pentagon1311]

@arcticfox1010 Attention whore? I've seen the same comment on several Hendrix videos...

[twoillfouryoutwo]

@Pentagon1311

Please don't feed the attention whore ;)

[dkhemmen]

@Pentagon1311

Please don't feed the attention whore.

[rocknrollporn]

@arcticfox1010 cool story bro

[RobinZuFALL]

@arcticfox1010 common dude i like the 68's and my friends in school allso kinda like it

its up to you to find these people in your schoole, and iam sure there such people

[MelonheadTheMan]

@arcticfox1010 duuuuuude same with me ! :) hello my brother, my friend is Che Guevara though. haha but i LOVE blues and just Hendrix!!!! every1 listens to this modern day shit rap and stuff, yeaaa

[jimiguitar100]

the spooky thing is that Jimi almost ended anonymous back in 65 in New York. Keith Richards girlfriend at the time was conection for London and everything for Jimi. She saw him in NY and she said: Why aren't you famous? Because you should be! So all you guitar players just keep on. Who knows what may happen... Love to All

[diegocostarica21]

@jimiguitar100 yeah and jimmis teachers like buddy guy and earl hooker they should be obligatory subjects in schools

[jimiguitar100]

@diegocostarica21 you're right, man. Jimi had some influence from the old guys when he was starting. But he ended up so, so original. Like out of this world. Not only the stage gimmiks but the melodys of his solo's and so original as a songwriter, original type of riffs. I think in fact there's no genre for him - just Jimi Hendrix. :))

[jimiguitar100]

Hendrix is my friend though i never had a chance to meet him. This version of Machine gun is like... like hats of, man

[jimmylee123able]

101st

[jimmylee123able]

Jimi was in the military.He knew what a machine gun sounded like.01st

[dictator54]

Jimi's dad was in the military, the news at the time of his death lied about that fact and jimi was well let's put it this way had no use for the military machine, he was influenced at the time by the black panther movement which highly critized him for havin a white band that's the main reason the experience fell apart his lyric's realin tell a story in many of his songs he was once asked wen he was goin back to seattle he replied the next time i go back will be in a pine box, 4 he nu his fate.

[gcdc14]

@MrBramDorper There's literally over 20 videos of Hendrix with over a millions views. The highest having around 10 million views.

[haileyandbandit]

listening to jimi actually makes me feel mentally high.

[tacitus2244]

Alan Douglas did a real poor job producing this track. The "rare" studio version posted by @gacelaxd is sooo much better than this version

[MrSccrkid639]

ahh come on jimi..... this is my 4th pair of underwear today

[TR9717]

I'm 1and I lisen to it
