Praxis - Guitar Solo/Machine Gun (Live by Vince Tocce) Vegoose

[@guitarguy07]

As a diehard hendrix nerd I feel the need to say this is such quintessential buckethead playing here. His whole persona is a commentary on the theater of the rock concert, as well as certain aspects of his playing. he went through everything in his show in this song! And the machine gun cover, which doesn't enter until several minutes into this video, is filled with feeling and also classic rock star showmanship. Really, really cool

[@guitarboi9]

And now, Buckethead, playing his world famous song, Dial-Up.

[@Joel-vk3cf]

lmao

[@Chadp.]

Amazing isnt it

[@humanity6fl9]

i love how the camera pans over to capture the look of bucketheads proud parents at the side of the stage. @1:24

[@BaldPerspective]

Lmao, you got me. This might be *the* best comment on *the* best video

[@bigtube9876]

Hendrix was actually quite renowned for his stage antics. They, along with his exceptional talent, are what lifted him to the spotlight and allowed him to "make money".

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

Buckethead does the shred just to show he is he best. Then he plays beautiful music that speaks to your soul and spirit. What an amazing Musician.

[@xthelilemogirlx]

he is possibly the coolest person ever!! he is so good at guitar

[@Halliday55]

Holy shit. I have watched that at least a hundred times and every time I'm picking my brain up off the floor. Buckethead is great. Bernie Worrell is awesome.

[@FatPeaceman]

i think that's how you should cover a hendrix song don't try to play it note for note but play it in an improvising and experimental way as hendrix did himself i prefer Jimi's version, though. it's not about them trying to beat Hendrix. it's more about 4 experimental guys going insane on a track of one of the greatest and most experimental guitar players of all time.

[@PhanaticalProduction]

I agree....Jimi's Machine Gun is unbeatable...

[@gamwpanagia]

@@PhanaticalProduction Jimi's machine gun is a force of nature!

[@faitch]

Buckethead is my favorite guitar player on every aspect , the sound he got , the way he play , how good he is and for everything he did which is simply amazing. Buckethead is in my opinion the greatest guitar player of all time :D

[@garyfebbi7333]

Just amazing.. ! This guy is on another level .. outstanding

[@Guitfiddlejase]

I will always love Praxis and I will always love Band Of Gypsies...I love this-thanks for posting this.

[@Johnnyboy414]

Damnit, Buck is freakin awesome. He's god at guitar, he gives away masks, he does random hilarious things like with the guitar strumming on the wrong side, and the puppet towards the end was funny as hell. I LOVE BUCKETHEAD!!!!!

[@bamfrbn]

buckethead really puts so much awesomeness into his studio albums and their all amazing but then you have his live preformances AND HE GIVES YOU MORE OF A SHOW THAN MANY 5 PERSON BANDS CANT EVEN DELIVER!. buckethead is just that amazing

[@ThePassionOfTheMarc]

Does anyone know if he makes guitar faces under the mask?

[@JSmith2501]

He does, actually. He darts his half-closed eyes from the guitar to the audience, mouth drawn open in mock amazement, as if to say: 'Wow, look how awesome I am! Look what I can do! You probably wish you were me, right?' It's pretty hilarious.

[@JSmith2501]

And then sometimes he does his 'distracted' thing, where he makes a point to not look at the fretboard, instead focusing momentarily on random objects surrounding him.

[@Neurotripsicks]

what mask?

[@dadasha]

Ragnar Danneskjöld haha...I think this is the reason that he wears mask!

[@cindygee35]

I'd love to see those guitar faces 😏

[@johnmongani5223]

Buckethead brings new meaning to the word alien......

[@Green-Bean1]

Machine gun live solo might be one of my favorite all time solos, buckethead doing it justice has made my day. I’m gonna be seeing him this July 25th and I couldn’t be more excited.

[@vtocce]

That's pretty much all I have from that set, I was there to tape The Coup and Praxis went on right during the middle of The Coup's set, so I ran over to catch the end of Praxis and just got this. The webcast is up and has a little more that I missed, you can also catch a glimpse of me on their cameras. Little cameo action yo!

[@itsraininglool]

man, go deeper into his music. he has some of the most emotional playing ive ever heard. listen to colma album, and electric sea or electric tears, he is so much more than you think

[@R0b1zzle137]

The thing I like about this cover, is that Buckethead obvious is a fan of Hendrix, but he also is adding his own style and improvisation to the song.

[@fulsame1]

"This is halloween" into the Halloween theme. BRILLIANT

[@tz88ss32vb]

He is a killer guitar player.

[@claux23]

Yet another masterful Buckethead solo/song. This guy is just so frickin' amazing.

[@SteadyHaze]

Buckethead is a pretty cool guy, and he's a skillful guitar player...Big on effects like Hendrix...I bet if Hendrix were alive he would enjoy Buckethead.

[@keithplunk6611]

Amazing fluid playing at an amazing flawless speed. Love the button action. All that's left to say is...Shawn who???

[@wasup23tube]

the whole time i'm waiting for one mistake... never happens. god damn he's too good

[@TheFakuza]

I don't wanna talk about who the fuck is the best... because is impossible to decide anyways this guy comes from another dimension that normal people can't understand the greatness artistic potential

[@mjimih]

i can. guess who i hear is the best of all. btw i love Bucketheads' amazing playing n talent. Even keeps it interesting a lot.

[@crookedriver2079]

Well don't talk about who the fuck is the bestest impossible to decide anyway BECAUSE YOUR A DRUNK WHO COMES FROM ANOTHER PLANET WHO NO ONE CAN UNDERSTAND!! SHUT THE FUCK UP !!

[@gregrutkowski13]

those sounds he was making by like magnetizing his wiring or something..god thats sooo good. and then the nosferatu puppet at the end was just the cream on top.

[@Vanhallo]

This rocked. By far the best video I've seen for weeks.

[@binsinc]

Sad sad day Bernie went away :((RIP

[@Neurotripsicks]

who's that?

[@binsinc]

Bernie Worrell

[@Neurotripsicks]

Ohhhh gotcha Rip

[@atz123ify]

wow, just now finding this out via your comment. sort of stunned me when i read it, didnt want to believe it, unfortunately i had to confirm that it was true....i never believe anything i read especially online and i didnt want to believe this either. Didnt even know his health was declining. What a great musician though, hate to hear he died.

[@jorgechopo8081]

Bernie worrell

[@yogiguitar1]

awesome that he did machine gun and he's got bernie worrel on keys along for the trip! thats soooooooooooooo cool man

[@Prich1010]

I thought this was amazing. I don't understand why all of you are complaining in the comments.

[@Jacksonkellyfreak]

that is one hell of an effect on that bass

[@steviestadstad6399]

Best guitarist to ever live!

[@ProudAmerican111]

nope, Zappa!

[@williamhilligoss624]

Absolutely up their

[@samsmith4216]

How's that? He's playing songs written by other people. And the Hendrix song " Machine Gun" will never , ever be played anywhere close to the beyond genius level Hendrix composed and played it at. Listen to Hendrix....greatest live recording of the Electric Guitar in history. Anyone that argues that is just a foolish fan of some other good musician. Hendrix's came thru this world like a Mozart or Beethoven...Charley Parker...Picasso...Rembrandt...Jaco Pastorius....complete genius originals. Buckethead is good but not even close.

[@terry3953]

SAM SMITH Preach brotha.

[@chuckychuckerson2852]

@@samsmith4216Jimi Hendrix was and Buckethead are the most innovative guitar players of all time, period. If you argue otherwise, you're out of your f**king mind.

[@las10plagas]

this is the first video I've ever seen/heared of bucky. (many years ago) thx Vince! =)

[@tedbogan6099]

You know you’re good when you get to play out front for the legendary Bernie Worrel- keyboards for Parliament/Funkadelics!!!

[@lunacy135]

I hate it when people say he has no feeling in his guitar playing. He did an excelent job of covering Machine Gun. He made it his own and Jimi would be proud.

[@Xzendren]

So this is where "Buckethead Solo (Awesome)" came from xD

[@GeneralShred89]

that has to be the best live performance i've ever seen! :D

[@bobyman121]

when buckethead really gets into his songs he sways a little bit lol, he actually physically moves X]

[@giantrobot5804]

I play along to this a lot! Machine Gun is a rad track

[@alienfetusllc]

i have a hard time believing he got this good at guitar... i think he was struck by a lightning bolt and the gods blessed him with these powers

whew, thank god. I was so terrified the earths gravitational pull was going to reverse. Thanks.

dude this is the god at guitar solos period no one can ever deni that its a fact!!! damn dude hes fuckin crazy!!

I think from a technical standpoint at the very least - people need to recognize that this guy is probably the greatest electric guitarist of all time

+Kevin Williams shawn lane is the best i think. but then definitely buckethead

[@joeym6680]

WAKE ME WHEN ITS OVER...

[@mgrzx3367]

This guy and Kanami Tono one night only, just playing guitar. There would be no words to describe this.

[@Reality4Peace]

Buckethead's creativity and technical prowess is a joy to watch but in terms of feel, he falls short. His version of Machine Gun doesn't hold a candle to Hendrix (though nobody really does).

[@FatPeaceman]

i agree, Hendrix's version is unmatchable. Buckethead's style is just different

[@Reality4Peace]

Not many artists even have the balls to try Machine Gun so credit to him

[@FatPeaceman]

Reality4Peace oh don't get me wrong. i really enjoyed that one and i'm a huge fan of Buckethead, even more than of Hendrix . i just prefer the original version.

[@Reality4Peace]

No worries man. I'm a huge Hendrix fan just trying to get int Buckethead a bit. His original stuff is really impressive.

[@FatPeaceman]

Reality4Peace oh ok. then i probably got you wrong haha. well i know most of his stuff and i don't know which music you are into but he actually has done most genres. maybe check out Population Override, Electric Tears, Electric Sea and for some heavy stuff The Cuckoo Clocks of Hell or The Elephant Man's Alarm Clock. that's cool btw. i think most ppl think all he can is shredding and effects because his most popular videos are the noisy ones ^^

[@guitarran]

This is bad ass :-D It's funny so many make comparisons, it's a shame really, too bad they can't just enjoy it. If Jimi was around he would have a smile on his face digging the heck out of it.

[@woodie62]

Dude is bad, all I can say . . .

[@spinningbackkick6021]

Christian Basa I think he meant bad a bad ass.

Yes, Greg! That was my meaning, should have been more clear. I LIKE Buckhead!! He is BADASS!!!! Hope that clarifies things more ;)

[@christophersmith8850]

Guess you had to be there. Strange creative rendition. He's out there for sure.

[@hydropumpification]

Also at 7:20 it sounds like a bunch of random shit in the song. I can't get jiggy with this shit.

[@TheSecondNature]

Don't mean to sound sacrilegious, I love Jimi more than I love Buckethead, and I do love Buckethead quite a lot, but Jimi threw a lot of random shit (if you really want to call it like that) too, and I can tell you, it's no random shit, it's just losing control on the instrument and going nuts because your mind is free. Buckethead does it differently, it sounds like atonal shredding, Jimi did crazy whammy-legato stuff, but conceptually it's the same thing. They're allowed to do it

[@lunacy135]

One word.....AMAZING!!!!

[@lukepascarella2766]

John Mayer did it better

[@hydropumpification]

Agreed

[@dadasha]

Luke Pascarella your mommy said I did it better!! gtfoh

[@klmullins65]

Yeah, but John Mayer would rather sing "sensitive" songs for high school girls

[@jeffbrodie42]

GOTTA BE THE BEST MOST VERSITILE. JUST IMPOSSIBLE PLAYING. OVER 200 ALBUMS AND EACH A WORK OF ART. A TRUE CREATIVE GENIUS. "COLMA" IS A HYPNOTIC ACOUSTIC, NYLON STRING MASTERPIECE I NEVER GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO. "WHITEWASH"

[@lanesblitz]

I get your point, absolutly. Nothing wrong in myour words or in his music, ... it's simply his way of feeling the music, his choice of expression. I totally respect him of course. I respect him as I respect every person who put so much energies and time to gain that dexterity, that proficiency on the instrument. So he has my respect for sure. I watch and listen to him play and to a certain point I appreciate him. But it doesn't seem to catch me ... But again, total respect.
