Jeremy Parker on Instagram: "“Machine Gun” was released in 1970 on the Band of Gypsies live album by Jimi Hendrix. Written by Hendrix, the lyrics act as a protest to the Vietnam War. Recorded as Hendrix’s first album without his original backing group, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, the release would end up being Hendrix’s final, before his untimely passing six months later. The album would go on to peak at number 5 on the Billboard Top LPs chart. Excerpt: Machine gun Tearing my body apart Machine
