Bill Laswell led super group, featuring Buckethead (G n R), Bernie Worrell (P-Funk) and Brain (Primus). This live show from Bonnaroo, with over 100K in attendance, includes a jaw dropping 7-minute version of Hendrix's classic Machine Gun. No other Praxis album includes this track. Packaged in a Beautiful 4 Panel Digipak, it is over 58 Minutes long. Buckethead is becoming recognized as one of the top 10 shredders in the world. As Buckethead, with his customary aplomb, told Guitar Player magazine: Praxis is a big binge loaf, like terror long dangler buddies on a scoop rack. [To me], taking people away in their imaginations is a lot more important than freaking people out with the guitar. And who are we to argue? –Buckethead
