Shoot Me Down

I was told not to knock the last post down but what the fuck do i care?

The next song on my funeral list is "Machine Gun" by Jimi. And if I get shot, to be really sadistic and cruel to my family, I want it looped the whole time, especially if I get shot in the war in 'Nam. This song is by far my favorite Hendrix song; it's got everything that made him great: soulful vocals, funky as hell basslines, killer drumming, and let's not forget that guitar playing. The playing ranks as Jimi's best, which means it ranks as the best ever of all time by anyone anywhere. I'm not fucking around or being sarcastic either. The snares rolls by Gypsys' drummer Buddy Miles cut right to the bone and his backing vocals add to the "airy," as Zimmerman might say, feel. The playing mimics a machine gun at times, while other parts are an acid freak's dream. Just like everything else on this stupid ass blog if you don't own this, buy it or just borrow it from me next time you see me. You know where I live probably.
