[DodgaP]

Its' nice to sit here watching the sounds move me in the darkness as chills run their coarse freely around my brain.. deepest funk

[MarsFilth]

This song owns! FIRST

[RainbowHolland]

great song great outfit

[qiaorusi]

I dig it! Somebody trying to tell me buckethead ain't got soul? Tell me again after you've been in a band with Bootsy and made music 1/10 as good as this.

[Khaddar]

Keepin the funk alive baby! Bootsy! BucketHead and Brain. The 3 b's of funktastirific funktopotastic freshness from the mothership baby!

[1019drummer]

oooooooooh yeahhhhhhhhh!

[zonwuka]

ya should smoke an african joint (pure weed, no tobacco)

and watch & listen 2 this

yeeahhhh!

[niclariv]

Canadians smoke it like that too

[jumpy666666]

i would like to have opportunity to smoke african weed:) peace man!

[PrimusClambake]

mushrooms are good too. i was truly blown away.

[jahstp]

since when did a joint with out Tobacco called a african joint, i never batch just smoke that herrrrB, roll a phat One

[dobrorodnaya]

no i like both versions.

[septip123]

i loved when they played this during Stealing Beauty

[richekalen]

Man listen to jimi hendrix its better

[ansinclair]

A-HA! Gotcha!

[dragster58]

Let it all hang down brothers and sistas :)

[WINDYwow]

It's a great cover .....  Does anyone have a copy of What's a Telephone Bill by Bootsy's Rubber Band?

[dfunkmcd]

Bootsy and the gang is puttin' down some heavy shit here!!

[Josephdorf03]

he actually sounds a bit like Hendrix and looks like him a little bit in the right light.

well, this song is pretty cool. I guess you could set it to a video game or a movie clip or something. it would be good for that. I don't think I want to actually sit down and listen to this song again though.

[IsThatBrad]

This does not come close to comparing with the original. As a matter of fact, IMO, its an abomination.

[munkylufur]

Holy crap! I was there in NY when they were filming this video. I've been trying to find this for so long... I was about 8 or 9 years old. Thanks!

[RubenvonZwack]

Whoa, you seen them filming? Thats kewl!!!!

[qualquernomeaqui]

buckethead is using an inverted guitar just like the one hendrix used (of course it is inverted for right handed ppl)

[psychobabblebullshit]

bootsy collins can do whatever the fuck he wants. buckethead and bootsy are a really eccentric pair to be sure.

[borchabronx]

its crappy, new-aggey, totally anti-ghetto, whitey, lame, wack, sleazy shit - original beats the shit out of dis lame muthaphucka anyday

wack yuppie shit, quiet storm, whaddafuck...

[symptomsyndrom]

idd the original is a very good song

nevertheless this is fcking awesome

[Josephdorf03]

quiet storm? anti-ghetto? where are  you getting those?

anyway, I also like the original way better but you don't have to diss other people's music.

[borchabronx]

shit is wack, jack... this is puttin hendrix to shame.

elevator new age sleaze ass 'funk'

[mstabspeople]

wow you live in a cardboard box don't you?

[aarononetwo]

I used to collect anything Bill Laswell related. Wish I still had this one.  Damn . . .

Think I still have the Ambient double-disc somewhere.

Bootsy's doing some damn fine channeling here. Gotta love it.

[KrewSaydr]

it's to Hip-Hoppy, that sounded gay.

It's more getto then I think Jimi would have enjoyed.

I dont like this cover

[hedz0r]

anyone notice Bucketheads Lefty strat flipped upside down ala jimi... absolutely amazing

[Physalis925]

where was this in 96?

[lemsara]

=)))

[johnnymargaret]

Great song!

[paulsint]

i almost thought it was jimi singing at first..

[dalcon555]

man, bootsy buckethead and brain all together in one jam band? shit, i love axiom funk! and yes jimi would definitely be proud

[kax61]

The Axiom Funk double cd was a statement

[awsomejoe]

Trippy video man. Thanks for putting it on here bra.

[PwnageGravy]

Hendrix would be proud, this is so weird!

[ferdibirdi94]

amazing...Bootsy and Buckethead,such a good combination.

[D4athPanda]

I'm buying a left handed strat and stringing it right handed. That looks amazing. Excellent playing of course by 2 of my favorite musicians.

[theocawley]

I can not listen to this enough, Hendrix would have loved a cover by people with talent and I mean, damn..., Bootsy and Buckethead, we're talking borderline supernatural talent. Awesome cover of a fantastic song.

[deaddude543]

Man bucket head is brave throwing fried chicken in a funk video. you think people would want him dead for that. it's kind of funny i didn't even know that was a black stereo type till a black guy told me.

[RawKetchup]

...wow

[zonwuka]

buckethead plays on lefthanded guitar, opposit of wat hendrix did

[luthierjustin1]

Actually Buckethead just played the backward solo, all of the other guitar parts were recorded by Nicky Skopelitis.

[nightflight83]

This is so awesome!

[GMONY5]

White collar conservatives pointing their plastic fingers at me.........

[GMONY5]

If 6 , turns out to be 9, I don't mind...Classic!

[untacotres]

Three dimensional space with a freaky bass beat. An astounding cover; in my opinion. I'm thinking Jimi Hendrix would be experimenting - and doing - the same things Tom Morrello and Buckethead are currently achieving.

[steampunkmachina]

where... where is this album acquired?

[separiseppo]

yap, art aint dry. Its more like liquid :p

[tc456]

Boosty Collins is to the bass and funk what jimi hendrix is to the guitar and rock n' roll so pay respect and honor two legends!

[Reufiter]

I cant believe these fucking hendrix clowns. Dont get me wrong, hendrix was awesome but some of these ppl think that hendrix is sacred or something and they think that there shouldn't be any hendrix covers. I bet hendrix himself would appreciate this cover.

Fucking idiots.

[michealmyers722]

Yeah Buckethead Kicks Ass!!!

[iPlaySKATE]

your mom is an insult to hendrix

[cultoffuzz]

An TRUE insult to Jimi would be if the likes of wimpy Madonna, J-Lo or Britney Spears ever decided to do a cover of this one.

[winstonknowall]

this is a complete insult to hendrix... where do they get off doing a terrible ninties sounding cover of hendrix, eww I cant believe i listened long enough to write this

[JohnECocaine]

Great post. THANKS!!!

[Abercr0mbie4life]

*click* right to favorites for all the wrong reasons.

[robo7ron]

Bootsy you are a national treasure, if you ever spot a British ambulance run for your life!

[jedimastereddie]

holy shit what a combination of awsome musicians.

[NickBalto1]

anybody got any of these versions off the CDS?

1) If 6 Minutes Was 9 Minutes (7:20)

2) If 6 Was 9 (DXT Instrumental Mix) (4:07)

3) If 6 Was 9 (DXT Radio Edit) (4:53)

4) If 6 Was Phunky (6:07)

Cant find this to buy/download from anywhere.

[LiNongchao]

you can find the mv on the DVD "Secret Recipe" of Buckethead, I bought one, really awsome!

[guitarslinger043]

very few people can cover hendrix, stevie ray vaughn,and axiom funk do it well!!

[groovekilledme]

awesome.

[funkyfoolfromVanNuys]

damn this is smooth.

[SuprSokrSuicide]

I love Buckethead with the left handed guitar =]

[woodyoligy]

creamy

[dustyfeet2]

this shit rite her is krrracced up playa

[Hleslie86]

This vid is funny!! I like this song..lol

[mushmulkaa]

hottie

[MysticLyman]

Wow... it's so... funkalicious. But I like the original version a bit better.  And I'm a big fan of Buckethead, Bootsy, and Hendrix.

[bigduggieface]

Funkromomicon is Funkadelic taken to a higher level. Superhyperfunkypsychedelicromi­con.

[NickBalto1]

love this one. does anyone have the album Funkcronomicon? is it any good?

[bangulo2012]

the whole album is Ace but its hard to find

[NickBalto1]

yeh i've noticed, you wanna hook me up?

[33keef33]

its super tight !i think its out of print ,or so i've been told .

[rioted]

mail me, i've got it...

[awssk8er207]

awesome disc, whole thing is full of good shit. buy it now.

[Karlkw]

ever seen a picture with jimi and bootsy together?

[SirDoomTheGreat]

This video makes you feel like you've been smoking meth all day... and by meth I mean methanol!

[djthunda23]

lol buckethead is playin a lefty guitar

[stevekocsis]

how do u figure?

[rioted]

like... look!

[jameshawkinson]

pick guard

[psykopatsak]

i really like it just because it is a little psycadelic X)

[jbrun009]

I love this video cause its got two of my idols in it

[Moezzilla]

Check Buckethead on the left handed jimi style strat

[jbrun009]

We need more Bootsy videos. 4 songs just won't do

[alexowain]

hendrix would have been pleased to see a gr8 man do a gr8 cover

[fuckinpartyman]

a bit of trivia, alex winter (bill, of bill & ted fame) directed this video...

[CarIosOnFire]

They censored the KFC logo, hah.

[alexowain]

buckethead is awesome!

[drewhrt2]

this is an awesome video, when was it made?

[JacksonBradwell]

is he ragging on those rednecks at the end of the video i guess?

[ElZomboFantasma]

Buckethead kinda is one of those rednecks.

[sha1om]

What a great cover, and a fantastic video. Bootsy even manages to sound like Jimi on vocals, but he left out one line from the original: Jimi said, "I'm the one who's gonna have to die when it's my time to die, so let me live my life -- the way I want to. Sing on brother..." My hair stood on end first time I heard that-- it's like he knew what would happen to him.

[ProfessorDrum]

He knew he would die? I think that's a pretty certain thing for anyone tbh there fella.

[ibanezman14]

crazy cover but well done

[necrocago]

Great song!!! Buckethead and Boosty rule!!!!

[bootfonk]

bootsy and Hendrix same thang brothers and sisters and daytrippup. Respect is due. Funk on

[croon4u]

bootsy so cool

[alexowain]

pwatchaaa fu fu fuuunky bootsy is the master

[mattfreaknparker]

haha no angry comments on this video... this song must be really relaxing

[rioted]

it is, brother

[MTXSHO9732vV8SHO]

Yeah! Who's this "Bootsy" character anyway!?!? LOL. Well, let's just say he's basically to Funk Bass Players what Hendrix is to Rock Guitar Players.

Now go away, It's about Bootsy right now! Ah yeah yeah yeah! Get Live!

[stldl]

Amen To that.

[GreetingsFromFinland]

yes and let us pray. to the bucket, the brain, and the holy bootsy. amen.

[sephiroth2112]

heh, the awesome thing is, Bootsy never changes his strings. He says 'the funk is the funk' I find that rather inspiring...

[TH89]

I like the original and I like this, to the people who are saying this ruined Hendrix's version, it's not ruined...you can go listen to it anytime you like

[IconWatcher]

Way to keep an open mind.

[daytripper92]

the orriginal hendrix one is about 10.0000000000000000 times better

[Zatoichiswordman]

well you know its Bootsy, hendrix is good yes, but the world has changed since his time, things have gotten worst, like rock bands have been sucking more and more, well no... its all music, besides for house music, and a few poeple, like bootsy, who play music because they love music, not because they love money!

[argonzeit]

man ur right the rock bands now suck but some dont. but dont forget about buckethead he is one of the legendary guitarist but he cant be the greatest if not every body agrees with it but buckethead is awesome lol and i like htis version better then hendrix

[Zatoichiswordman]

well in your opinion buckethead is great but hes a bit boring, to me, i like skill over sound sometimes, but i like skill and sound at the sametime more, like Jazz has alot of skill but the sound is ok for me, its just my opinion. :)

[DeineMutterRecords]

lets say you like rock and this is funk

and dont worry :-)

[daytripper92]

okay both of you are right but this version is a bit boring hendrix uses real cool effects and instruments (esspecially at the end) but this version is constantly the same  or maybe i dig hendrix too much

[rioted]

this version is more psychedelic - IMHO.

and bootsy did it. he knows what's he doing I'm sure! and the same for bucket and brain. they are all awesome musicians.

I love this song, so much blues in it, but still hella funky!

[belligerentseacow]

yeah, let's not butcher hendrix classics.

[alexowain]

did you know tht bucket head tryed out for the chilis man can u imagine that

[groovekilledme]

man man, this song is awesome!

[Sjjags]

I love Bootsy, but I really don't like this cover.

[avjg23]

oh deng..Bootsy has kinda the same voice as Jimi Hendrix's. wow

[kax61]

Bootsy, Buckethead, Bill Laswell...Jimi Hendrix 'd just crumble to pieces after hearing this version.

[fightinghonchos]

I would at once fling myself up in the air and thrust my battle ax deep inside your fleshy hide, causing red-crush velvety blood to explode from your being, and gaze upon it as it cascades down the stone steps into a red quagmire.

[argonzeit]

holy **** i have the same axact guitar as Buckethead at 1:11 holy holy holy***** this makes me feal like im really good lol in a way but thats so freaken sweet. im glad i gotten the white one instead of a black and white one

[drewmcdaniel]

thats the type of guitar jimi hendrix used

[FrenchFootballLegend]

Bootsy has every right to cover a song as great as this, considering he pretty much is the Jimi Hendrix of bass guitarists.

[MRSERE]

that beat is shit

[Quantenschorsch]

Ruining a classic? what type of jerk are you then?

But i'm sure you've got the musical supriority to judge over the works of Bootsy Collins, a man who himself played with Hendrix, and Buckethead.

Go home to you mummy, jackass

[AreYouExperiencedJH]

Boosty never played with Hendrix, but he did play with EDDIE HAZEL!!!

[ColdHonor]

Well done on ruining a classic you butt tards!! EPIC FIALZ!!

[301japp]

oh god...what does a 4channer know about anything

[Funkdogg]

Cool version...i like Buckethead more each day...Only found out about him recently, here on youtube...He can play 4 sure

[staringfrog]

haha check out 0:00 - 0:05 check out buckethead in the background :D

[relicdelic]

Prob's playing on the reversed-strat cause this a Jimi Hendrix-cover ;).

[jalbertochavez]

Dude that's what I thought! Never thought I'd see Buckethead on a Strat.

[ace5392]

thats what he played a longggg time ago

[R41N570RM]

That looks like a left handed strat, if I'm not mistaken..

[JusticeKeepers]

you are very right... i thought something was odd about it.

[dockaiser]

Cool Funk, Bootsy's keepin' da funk alive !

[mordoklejka122]

now, when is so hooot (at least in poland) if the sun refused to shine, i really dont mind :D

[eamonosu]

o so fhunky : )

[sacredsystem]

Very smooth...........The more I play it, the better it gets!

[hubbawubbub]

FUNKY!!!!!

[RemedyAnnFetish]

BOOTSAY

I love your Phunk chunks.

So damn FUNK

[tubehead357]

The THICKASS funk makes this a head banger. Bootsy is still doing his thang. This is the first time I heard the track and I love it.

[demoniciceberg]

yaahhh bootsssyyy...love ya, man

[esubadog]

hahahahahaha

[GFY1954]

May the groove be with you, Funk It!

[rezzy123]

one of my all time favz!

[Superfoot]

Nice. Smooth.

[WildOne01]

I like this...really like the groove. Dancable Jimi! grew up on his music. He was the best.

[GFY1954]

Nice groove!

[maurizio82]

If 6 was 9??? From the drum beat I'd say it's cover of Enigma. Couldn't hear much else, though I love Bootsy and I respect Buckethead's skill. I didn't like it and got asleep half way through.

[captainsmasho]

this is cool, all very talented musicians and what not. Everyone needs to relax

[martythemage]

relax fanboys, i seriously doubt that jimi would care about the singing style being at times alot like his, he was very modest when it came to his singing (if not very very shy about it). The song takes the flavour of the original hendrix vocals and adds the bootsy collins funk effect. Stop being so narrow on your views of music, if anything, hendrix would be rolling in his grave from you trying to bash someone trying to approach music differently.

[lemontart2]

If I was Hendrix and I'd read that Bootsy Collins was 'so like Jimi' I would have commited suicide rather than OD'd!

[eggmangoogoogoojoob]

So much lile Jimi???  Hendrix would be turning in his grave if he could read that! Jimi Hendrix was an utter genius, man!

[MindFuLL]

This is so Jimi, that's why I love this cover so much.

[drasticjasper]

yabba dabba dooooozima!!!!

[weedpub]

this song is rocxxxx and funxxxxx

[parafleet]

jimi was sayin be urself. detach from this hate-crazed earth and be urtruelovinselves ON earth. light this place up with caring.

[paris4la]

no you did'nt my brother ..you rock " thank you for posting the badest ass bootsy video ever""

[TheBarbaros]

first time i am lissenin' this excellent.

[twicetattooz]

Bootsy sounds like Jimi! He's the man

[Scratchy100]

did bootsy and buckethead do an album or something, whats this from?

[PJamesC]

Bootsy, Brain (Primus), Buckethead, and Bernie Worell (Talking Heads, P Funk), were in an incredible band called Praxis

[astralninja]

bootsy and buckethead collaborated on two efforts using the name "praxus".

[astralninja]

bucket head also had Bootsy on 'Monsters and Robots'.

[NotoriousSlacker]

buckethead is a guitarist...brain is a drummer....he was in parliment for awhile

[JonnyBojangles]

I wonder if this is where Victor Wooten got the bad idea to start singing haha.

But aside from that, Bootsy and Victor are Legends.

[crikut]

that fool bucket brain is buckethead, and he was guitarist of the year at the age of 14.. So stick your foot in your mouth some more.
