Imagine this with only 3 players instead of 5; imagine the singer singing and playing like crazy at the same time; imagine all this has appened 50 years ago and you can understand how far and insanily ahead JH was
I still can't get my head around Hendrix, after many years of listening. I can't put it into words on how utterly obsessed I am about that man. People who just focus on his virtuosic guitar playing alone and make crass comparsions to modern guys like Steve Vai just don't get it. He was so much more that just a guitar player, just a phenomenonal human being. Truly otherworldly.
Let's give some love to Rob Walker on bass! This guy doesn't get enough credit for his playing, he's just back there doing his thing and jamming out. This band is great all around! Keep on rocking guys you are absolutely amazing!
I first heard of this band with their rendition of Zeppelin's No Quarter ,I've been hooked since,my usual genre is hardcore but this shit is awesome,true musicians here,the guitar player got some licks,the bass player is so deep in the pocket he found the 5 bucks I lost last week, the keys are so hot the had to be put in the water for this vid,the drummer ,is spot on,and the vocals are haunting, that's a recipe for good music to me
Right?! On all of they're videos I've heard the mix is always just astounding, and I mean even when I'm not listening on head phones. How do you mix a song to sound good coming out of a cell phone speaker? I mean really...
As I saw them playing outside looks like a house with neighbors next door to them I was like how cool that would be to wake up to this on a Saturday morning and it’s free at that ❤️💯👍🏾 they rock
You obviously have not been to Washington, when you go there you will understand the lyric, i chop it down with the edge of my hand. Love you brother, sing your heart out!
Y'know, three days ago, I had never heard of The Main Squeeze. Then, RUclips recommended their cover of Have a Cigar to me. Now, I can't stop listening. Keep up the awesome work, you guys KICK ASS!!!
Dunno how this band isn't a household name. I really need to hunt down some originals; surely someone could make a few suggestions. Thanks, y'all!❤ edit: maybe I should ask for recommendations where someone will SEE the request lol
I was lucky enough to see two nights of the Squeeze in a row in Denver, night two they did a Jimmy Hendrix and Stevie Wonder cover set, and Max brought this song to new heights
So many things happening here. I thought Tiki torches were cancelled. Who else thinks, no matter how badass it is, playing the keys while submerged in water is crazy?
Was I the only one waiting for the guitar player to put it behind his back and strum with the sat dish? That was roughly precise with mixed purity. You have a new fan!
And HIS opponent... Coming down the aisle... From Venice beach, California... Weighing in at 303 pounds... He is the World Heavyweight Champion... Hollywood HUUUULK HOOOOGAN
While I never got to see Jimi Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughan play this song live, I did get to see Kenny Wayne Shepherd play this song with Double Trouble (Stevie's backing band) a long time ago. It was one of the best nights of my life and if I closed my eyes, I could swear that SRV was on stage playing. Anyway, I won't dare to compare or say who is better than who, but I do want to say that Max played this to perfection (as did the rest of the band) and I had the biggest smile on my face watching/listening to this than I've had in the longest time. I just want to say thank you to The Main Squeeze. You guys are freaking amazing and I can't wait to see you guys live in concert some time once this stupid Covid crap is over and we can have live shows again.
Hendrix is one of those few artists that no one can really cover, but great playing as always, from Mad Max and everyone else. Really like what you did with the arrangement.
Ok 9 consecutive videos in (no judgement) and it’s starting to make sense why I’m so enamored. It’s not the fact that each individual is brilliant. It’s the understanding, the interplay, the ability for each of them to really highlight each other so freaking well. Blown away.
The new Geico commercials with the Caveman SHREDDING on guitar! lol love these guys!!!!! Seriously almost went into a coma watching this it was soooooo good!
I WAS LIKE “WHO PUT MANS IN THE WATER HES GON GET SHOCKED AND HIS KEYS GON FALL IN” THEN I WAS LIKE “WHO PUT MANS ON THE ROOF HES GON FALL AND FRICKING DIE”😂😂😂
Saw this video. Watched more videos of them. Looked for when they were touring near me. Saw they were in my hometown on my birthday. Bought several tickets. Great concert. Everyone loved it. Got to talk to Smiley and Corey after the concert. The musicianship and teamwork was terrific. All the best from Austin, gentlemen. Thanks for making this birthday a great one. Keep rocking!
Thank goodness bands like this are on the rise. Sooooo sick and tired of rap and artist that just talk without any real talent or substance. Thank you.
Me and my wife have spent about all day listing to u guys... We are totally blown away by the music u have produced.... And I would just like to say if one of the houses on either side of u come up 4 sale, for GOD SAKE, PLEASE LET US KNOW!!!!!!
When I first saw this crazy SG man I thought he couldn't possibly do Jimi without a strat, but he actually made it work really well. This man owned with those humbuckers.
We just announced a huge tour! Get your tickets at squeezetour.com and we’ll see you on the road 🤘
Yall Fing rock 🏆🔥. I’ll c u in Farmington NM. Can’t wait!!
"Hey honey... Neighbor's half naked on the roof again playin' Voodoo Child."
*Rolls joint, pulls up a chair...
Ha !
That was awesome post!
Ha Ha, wouldn't mind having them for neighbors! =)
Amazing
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine this with only 3 players instead of 5; imagine the singer singing and playing like crazy at the same time; imagine all this has appened 50 years ago and you can understand how far and insanily ahead JH was
Nicky Nameo....... Farm Out my friend
The single most revolutionary individual in the history of pop music...
Truly a God incarnate

He was so much more that just a guitar player, just a phenomenonal human being.

Andrew Keys LSD will do that to you.
You guys gotta cover Zeppelin’s Since I’ve Been Lovin’ You.
Yeeeees, please!
No truer words have been uttered on the internet today.
Today’s you lucky day boy, check out their live performance at Tampa Florida in 2017 here on RUclips. It's better than you could hope
We all need this! One of my favorite zep songs
🙏🏻
Let's give some love to Rob Walker on bass! This guy doesn't get enough credit for his playing, he's just back there doing his thing and jamming out. This band is great all around! Keep on rocking guys you are absolutely amazing!
Yaaaha! Buddy!
Thank you for acknowledging Rob Walker! Hard out there for a bassist with a guitarist like Max in the band!
This guitar solo gonna be crazy
The last 20 seconds of that solo was out of this world.
As soon as i saw this on my suggested, thats the first thing i though
The Solo gives me Acid Flashbacks
Naw cuh was shredding on the roof 3 years later I still don't understand 🤣
I first heard of this band with their rendition of Zeppelin's No Quarter ,I've been hooked since,my usual genre is hardcore but this shit is awesome,true musicians here,the guitar player got some licks,the bass player is so deep in the pocket he found the 5 bucks I lost last week, the keys are so hot the had to be put in the water for this vid,the drummer ,is spot on,and the vocals are haunting, that's a recipe for good music to me
ME TOO!
Well said that man !
SAME
Have a Cigar popped up in my feed one day. Been enjoying their covers ever since.
You nailed it
Really dig the bass tone on this one.
Fucking chunky innit
Right?! On all of they're videos I've heard the mix is always just astounding, and I mean even when I'm not listening on head phones. How do you mix a song to sound good coming out of a cell phone speaker? I mean really...
William Epperson top notch.
I'm not sure but I think he's playing a G&L. Anyone?
@@DanHomeAtLast not sure on this one, but on other video saw him uaing ibanez sr5bbltd
The bassist is really the king of groove
Max shredding on the rooftop might just be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen
after slash rocking outside the church in the desert
Wife: 'We need to tell them to quiet down. The baby can't sleep.'
Husband: "Then the baby better stay up and listen."
Underrated comment
The kid grew up having fine taste
As I saw them playing outside looks like a house with neighbors next door to them I was like how cool that would be to wake up to this on a Saturday morning and it’s free at that ❤️💯👍🏾 they rock
or baby says "screw that mom, this rocks, turn it up"
"Hey guys, I just bought a 100' guitar cable and I have an idea..."
Super)))))
What's the idea?
wot’s... uh the deal
@@joelakra this video?
That's what I thought too when max runs up on the fuckin roof, haha.
Props to the person who mixes these live performances. Nailed it.
comfortably numb pls i wanna hear that solo
guys please like this comment until it happens
Yes please!
YAAAAAAASSSSS!!!!!
That will make the entire internet cum
PLEASE THIS WOULD MAKE MY YEAR!
This band is no joke. The guitar obviously shreds, but the singer has star power too. Also the rithym section is super tight too.
That solo got me hospitalized .
And this solo got me UNhospitalized!
still picking up pieces of my brain off the floor
RegularDude No, they’re playing’Voodoo Child’ not ‘Pick up the Pieces.’
You obviously have not been to Washington, when you go there you will understand the lyric, i chop it down with the edge of my hand. Love you brother, sing your heart out!
Y'know, three days ago, I had never heard of The Main Squeeze. Then, RUclips recommended their cover of Have a Cigar to me. Now, I can't stop listening. Keep up the awesome work, you guys KICK ASS!!!
Same here bro. Fucking love everything Bout these dudes
Same!
Literally, same for me with have a cigar....
Going on hour #3... Considering a trip to Asheville, NC from Des Moines, Ia to see 'em...
Ditto! Wish I had neighbors like that!
So fire! 🔥So smooth! ✨
So concerned about the Ben getting zapped in the pool 😅
There's two things in my life I say yes without even thinking: pizza and The Main Squeeze new video.
@Diego Velanga pizza?
Dunno how this band isn't a household name. I really need to hunt down some originals; surely someone could make a few suggestions. Thanks, y'all!❤ edit: maybe I should ask for recommendations where someone will SEE the request lol
For those of us who grew up listening to the funk and rock that was so delicious in the 70's, its like coming home again!
Opened RUclips and this was at the top of my Recommendations.
Today is a good day.
Today's that day for me!
RUclips asked me how was this video for me. I answered LIFE CHANGING!
Me: would be awesome to see the guitar solo on top of the roof
Guitarist: hold my shirt
can't believe this doesn't have MILLIONS of views!!!!!!!
The song is already great in instrumental part. With this vocal it's totally perfect.
Just now coming across you guys and I must say mankind needs you. Jam on brothers.
That bass tone is dope!
Yeahhh
Max absolutely slays the guitar. The little lick at 3:27 is unruly. Amazing job all around.
i love this lick 3:28 - 3:30
One of the bands that I need to watch LIVE!
They are ridiculous live
Saw them at the Mint here in LA. Best show I've seen! Band is even better live!
That's what I was thinking.
I could see them amassing a grateful dead sort of live following...
I was lucky enough to see two nights of the Squeeze in a row in Denver, night two they did a Jimmy Hendrix and Stevie Wonder cover set, and Max brought this song to new heights
Big props to Rob Walker on the bass! Man kills it every song but doesn't get enough credit! Great band all around 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I don’t think I’ve ever clicked on a video faster. When I listen to the Main Squeeze, my neighbors do too.
@Alex Tryon Some may call it disturbing the peace, I call is spreading the love. Thank you for spreading the love my brother.
hard rock 🖤 🤘
The guitarists flourishes on the bends are absolute gravy so so tasty
So many things happening here. I thought Tiki torches were cancelled. Who else thinks, no matter how badass it is, playing the keys while submerged in water is crazy?
After "Have a cigar" cover I wonder can this get any better. Yes it can. Epic.
i need these guys as neighbors !!!
Shit, man, you're fckin insane! Never stop playin' together, that's the best sound I've heard in times!!
WOW!
Hats offto whoever mixed this
Love the singer and bass sound
The band is on fire
Nice gimmick : drowning keys
Oh, yeah. That tone, the environment, the singer, the shredding, this is all perfect
i see main squeeze i click it .
love these lads
Was I the only one waiting for the guitar player to put it behind his back and strum with the sat dish? That was roughly precise with mixed purity. You have a new fan!
That was dope. Props to whoever did the mix.
Oh hell yeah!!!! Y'all are throwing bricks!!
BADASS

Can’t wait!!! my second favorite Hendrix.
Watchtower better be first, or little wing, or legit any of his others, I'm even partial to a bit of manic depression or crosstown traffic
Little wing and Wind cries Mary
Yeeeeaaaahhhhhhh,beautifulllllll!!!
Saw you play this in Boston the other week. Great job I loved it! Keep it up
I’ve heard some other covers by you guys but damn this one is easily my favourite.
Hendrix is one of those few artists that no one can really cover, but great playing as always, from Mad Max and everyone else. Really like what you did with the arrangement.
Welp....save for Stevie Ray Vaughan. Lol.
But you're not wrong. Jimi is nutz.
@@Six3rdy Sorry, not SRV either.
@@vaportrails7943 well dang. Lol. Not even HIM?!?? 😳
Lovin how the key board player is playing in the pool haha. Now that’s rock n roll 🤟🏻
Roadie: Where should I set your trash cymbal, boss?
Drummer: up high
Roadie: Here?
Drummer: Higher.
Roadie: Here?
Drummer: HIGHER.
Ok 9 consecutive videos in (no judgement) and it’s starting to make sense why I’m so enamored. It’s not the fact that each individual is brilliant. It’s the understanding, the interplay, the ability for each of them to really highlight each other so freaking well. Blown away.
Looking forward to this! You guys are awesome!
I'm the most impressed by whoever was able to hold the camera that steady while bopping their head to those mad grooves.
Vocês são demais💜
That's the attitude of real rock . greetings from Malaysia
I'm gonna be honest i have no clue how i found y'all but I'm damn sure glad i did 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏
The new Geico commercials with the Caveman SHREDDING on guitar! lol love these guys!!!!! Seriously almost went into a coma watching this it was soooooo good!
The Main Squeeze : Do you guys wanna have a slumber party and record Voodoo Child by the pool?
Swimming Pool : Yes, please.
That comment just cured the coronavirus.
yes!!!!!!!!!! what guitar player doesn't want to climb on top of the roof and wail on the solo of Voodoo Chile!!!!
What we all sound like in our heads when we play air guitar...
Hahaha definitely but for me the eruption solo by Eddie Van Halen is playing in my head lol
That was fucking awesome. Wish youall were my neighbors.
I WAS LIKE
“WHO PUT MANS IN THE WATER HES GON GET SHOCKED AND HIS KEYS GON FALL IN”
THEN I WAS LIKE
“WHO PUT MANS ON THE ROOF HES GON FALL AND FRICKING DIE”😂😂😂
So damn good...
Dude on roof looks like mix of young Slash and John Frusciante 😉
...and somehow, amazingly... I might actually enjoy his playing more! :D
And plays like a metal Pat Metheny.
Love how Smiley is just casually chilling in the water whilst recording a video which will get 1M views one day. King of Calm and the keys
Oh G O D.
My fav artist of all time is Prince, so in his words, this is real music by real musicians, amazing 🤩
The guitarist forgot to yell "I am a golden god!"
My rage knows no bounds!!
Right from the roof!
Good lord that was a wasted opportunity
@Bosingr That's undoubtedly why he knew not to utter those words. He's currently on Karma's good side. He's no Dennis Reynolds.
It's the implication
First time I heard of these guys was have a cigar I have been hooked ever since
I've never clicked a notification so fast in my life. 🤘🏼
Excellent
He activated start power quite a few times.
This cover is one of the best I’ve heard since Stevie Ray Vaughan. You guys did VERY WELL.
Filmed live on location at the Erlich Bachman incubator.
Haha I was gonna say the house from workaholics
LOL
While we're on the topic... man... Erlich is such a jerk... and a conman. :D
ruclips.net/video/v201VzV5GIA/видео.html
Unbelievable! 2020!
ESSE SOM TA CHEGANDO AQUI NO BRASIL!!! SHOW!
BRAVO
PLEASE COME TO RED ROCKS AGAIN!!!
Jimi and Stevie, up in the skies, nodding in awe. You guys are nothing but freaking amazing!!!
Solo sounds more like a Jimmy Page solo
This is lit 🔥🔥🔥
That bend at 4:09 is tiggghhhttt
coz basically played one of the bits from starway.
Saw this video. Watched more videos of them. Looked for when they were touring near me. Saw they were in my hometown on my birthday. Bought several tickets. Great concert. Everyone loved it. Got to talk to Smiley and Corey after the concert. The musicianship and teamwork was terrific. All the best from Austin, gentlemen. Thanks for making this birthday a great one. Keep rocking!
The only place where neighbours come over and say "Could you please turn it up?"
Such a heavy groove tht so much of today’s music is missing, keep it up!!!
Thank goodness bands like this are on the rise. Sooooo sick and tired of rap and artist that just talk without any real talent or substance.
Thank you.
Who ever does your Video/Sound recordings is amazing!!!!!
Hey while you're up there can you move the dish 6in to the left
Got dayum, guitar player killed it
I’ve seen some $h!t in my day but the guy on the roof playing a Hendrix guitar solo is a first.
Well played Sir, well played...
Bravi ragazzi
Damn he's got my Nikes. Now to just get his skills on the guitar.
looking for a nike comment lol.what model is this? they look dope
we need to know. pls man
Me and my wife have spent about all day listing to u guys... We are totally blown away by the music u have produced.... And I would just like to say if one of the houses on either side of u come up 4 sale, for GOD SAKE, PLEASE LET US KNOW!!!!!!
