"I'm in Nirvana when I hear Hendrix's [Machine Gun]."
by Mike McCready, Feb.18,99
I fuckin' love Hendrix. He's all-encompassing. His songwriting ability
was amazing, his leads were genius--he was so far ahead of his time.
My dad was in Vietnam, and he had Hendrix's "Band of Gypsys" record on
his carrier. He brought that back when I was seven or eight, and I
put it on not really knowing that much about rock & roll. I remember
going, "What the hell is this?" I was pretty young, and it was so
otherworldly. When I started understanding guitar more, I realized
that Hendrix was so far above the level that a lot of other guitar
players were at.
There's a feeling you get sometimes playing leads--it's like you're
out of your mind, you're in a state of nirvana. It sounds silly,
but it's spiritual. I get that when I hear "Machine Gun" and
he's playing that one fucking note and it brings you to tears.
I'm constantly striving for that kind of feeling, a feeling that
will bring across an emotion to an audience or to myself.
