The Main Squeeze "Sex Machine" (James Brown) 

Doctor: you only have 15 minutes to live. me: can you get me 13 more seconds?

This wasn’t a song. It wasn’t even a jam. It was a party, and everybody was there. You did James proud.

The sound engineer who set up the mixing is a real pro.

That's one of the coolest trombone solos ever!

The bass is mixed waaaaaaaay out front* *Exactly where it should be

I’m sick and my only prescription is more of that bassline

The energy is nuclear in this performance. Killer playing, I wish to have half of this funk in the future. Edit : that bass line is illegal in 17 countries.

You get a solo, You get a solo, everyone gets a solo

great jam, but we must give some love to Jonathan D. (engineer) and Reuben G. (mixing)...Sounds so good!

I am sorry to be commenting once again over the same video, but my brain could simply not grasp it all at once. Having just heard a second time now, I must admit this was the most outstanding performance I have heard from this band. Every single time, you surprise me in a different, yet most wonderful and fresh way. Its a band unlike any other, where their product seems to come out of a willingness to surpass the best of themselves and bring to the audience a work of art, full of detail, care and hard work. They ("you" maybe, if I have the honour to speak to a reader from the band ) could have stayed with the "same old song", exact same setting, music style, length of recording, sound effects, and sell their work to the fans, ultimately following a band career as all the rest, but instead.....oh boy, they prefer jumping into the wild like this and experimenting over and over again. But the result....well that I'm sure you just heard, there is quality in everything, even in the guy who probably brought the red carpet to the Studio. Be sure to have this clear in your minds, you will not find such fine team work such as this, so hear it, love it and share it!

Now now, the world can't run without a fine black man singin some funk. Amen.

That feeling when you get to the trombone solo, and realize there's still 10 minutes left on this ride.

Can't wait to see what happens when they bring a professional Kazoo player to their recording sessions. The connections of this people are just pure gold!

My neck has been successfully worked out.

This is NASTY, damn!

I can't imagine seeing this hurricane of a performance live. Just on the vid there is so much power it cracks through the screen and makes you jump to the groove.

15 minutes of pure funk! That's the spirit. I love it!!!

started the video thinking "wow, 15 minutes is looong" ended the video thinking "awww it's over already?"

I honestly believe James would be proud of this band.

Maaaan playing in a band like this is the fucking dream! You guys keep going! The world needs this energy! Love your music!!

Everybody is afraid to do James Brown. This band NAILS IT!

Guy on the trombone FEELIN' it. Great job everyone!

It is unfathomable how this does not have millions of likes.

I followed the main squeeze for the singer and guitarist. They are friggin amazing.....then I tune in and the drummer blows me away....then the keys.....then the horns.....this band isn't just awesome, its an education. Its like a basketball team with 5 superstar point guards that somehow figured out how to be awesome together!!!!! You guys are am inspiration and are an example of just having fun!

The funkiest cover you didn't know you needed in your life until now. Hot damn!

I've never heard better cover for this song, it's the best with miles ahead. It is simply extraordinary.

Main Squeeze never disappoints .. Having seen James perform up close 30 feet away you gents did him proud Sing It Loud Get On Up Y'all Yes Yes indeed

YES YES YES

love it!!!! funky as fuck

Probably the most timeless artist I’ve seen in my lifetime.

That guitar solo - just goosebumps! What a talent! I would have loved for him to elaborate a bit more.

My biggest lesson of 2020/2021- never underestimate the power of music and it’s ability to turn your mood around

5:20 every Honda in your neighborhood

these guys are seriously the best organized and timed band out there atm.... everything so tight yet so much soul packed into every detail!! world class!

I've seen this band live 5 or 6 times and they've always been tight but it really seems they're reaching new levels of funk, groove, and just pure musical joy during quarantine. When there is a post-Covid tour I will be in the front row.

Absolutely mind blowing. Incredible performance. I wish I was there.

I love how loud the bass is in the mix.

The human body have 206 bones in it And every single one of them was moving during this video

Who does a better James brown cover??? That's right, NOBODY! ♥️♥️

Wow! These guys are phenomenal. How could I have not known about this band? Support them by buying their music and merchandise. I have to see them when they tour. I'm speechless.

first!

The only video I ever hit the like button before playing

Great horn players.... Incredible bass and drums!! Very Nice!!!

Just saw this cover on TikTok immediately had to come watch it this is incredible amazing job

petition for them to cover “i wish” by stevie wonder

Goin crazy how can u not respect The Main Squeeze's musicality genius gangsta no cap

Although the entire band is incredible, that bass line everyone is replying to that's rolling this timeless tune along is not only from the awesome chops from a talented bassist but also that he has his hands wrapped around that Sire Marcus Miller V10 bass to showcase it. The entire Sire line of instruments is dripping with workmanship and quality:) BTW- the entire band has a great chemistry, hope you all continue to do this more often!

my husband and I thoroughly enjoy everything you artists put out. The talent of your group is far under valued. We love you and appreciate you sharing your music with us! Keep your passion shining through!

Someone needs to let Robert Plant know that we found "the bridge". There's a few of them actually. He'll be spoiled for choice.

That bass line is a grown man’s aphrodisiac.

Wow! what a Retro Funk Masterclass!

You guys make an amazing band! Every single one of you are connected to each other and to the music!

I'm a simple man, I see The Main Squeeze put out a new cover or song, I click on it, I click like, and listen, I know what to expect, they never disappoint.

Holy f*cking sh*t. And the Bootsy bass. 🔥🔥🔥

excellent performance and energy, you guys know how to have fun with music, you are amazing

i discover the main squeeze during the pandemic and it has been such a blast to hear them!

What a bassist!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if it's even possible for you fellas to disappoint. I keep coming in with sky-high expectations, and leaving with those expectations smashed. Never stop.

Love this! My local reggae band played this and dedicated it to me on my 21st birthday. Always gives me nostalgia

Guys, you killed it with this. JB would be proud!

My silly smile on my face while listening your great performance!! It's hard not to bounce with your good vibes!!! Un abrazo from Spain!!!

WOW, love the bass line, in all soooo good, saw James live 3X and you do this justice nicely...thanks

On Point and In Pocket!! Nothing more need be said. Mr Brown would be proud (and pay everyone their money for not missing any hits). Funk On!!!

Please do more funk and soul covers just like this love it

Duuuuude, spot on guitar playing!

Oh my lord is there nothing these guys can't play and sing to perfection. I'm speechless.

I have had this on repeat for DAYS!! Ya’ll are the GOATS no question about it!!

that's what i call a JAM

Diggin' that rhythm section. Get it y'all. You guys even got my dead leg bouncing, I am sanctified!

Holy FUNK, you guys. I'm in love with all 4 of your videos that I've watched this morning!

Excellent! Would love to see you all cover the ultimate funk piece -Love Rollercoaster - with your original Dr Funk kicked in the middle.

Wow I thought the keys was killing it. But then the trombone *really* killed it.

Oh you _know_ this wasn't gonna end until Max had a say. Damn, that was fun.

If this ain’t playing in my funeral, then I ain’t dying.

Whoever was the mixing engineer, fantastic job, Sir! Perfect balance. 15 minutes well spent!

This fresh squeeze is the drink I needed, man I was dying of thirst! I love you guys, the guests on horns are killer! Would love to see them again, I'll have to check out their other stuff.

They are the "Hardest working band in Lockdown"

And to think they pulled this off on their first take speaks VOLUME of their talent! Kudos to every single band member for one helluva performance.

The finest desk-jamming I've done in quite a while. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

Poppin’! Love the congas, but missing some sax. Smiley is working it!

I’m so glad I was introduced to you guys!!!🥲 Amazing job!!!

You guys are AWESOME!!

What a tasty guitar solo. I could have listened to another 10 minutes just of Max jamming.

Daamn! I swear I was sitting when I pushed the play button. Now I'm dancing all around the room and doing handstands 😄

Peition to have these gents cover "sir duke" by Stevie Wonder. We needa hear that BASS on that tune

YES Y'ALL! SLAYING! Loved the conga solo! It took him a sec to get into but when he did man!!!! Keep it up y'all that was gorgeous! 🕴🏻🖤⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️😍

I LOVE watching professional musicians. Absolutely fantastic performance.

What an amazing start to my day, got out of bed dancing! Thank you!

Straight FIRE!! Damn that was awesome!! The Brass added so much great job fellas.

Coming from a musician and guitarrist myself: You guys are absolutely AWESOME!! I discovered you guys around 1~2 years ago from youtube recomendations and since then your videos and lives are always playing here in my house!! Cheers from BRAZIL! And keep up the good work!! I love when you put your own style into the cover!

That was probably one of the best covers, of any song, I have ever heard. God damn you smashed it!

My love of this band has just turned to an obsession

OH DAMNNNNNN the HIT ME section is so damn good, you are awesome.

Great job y'all...you've brightened my day and I thank you so much.

These guys are awesome . True musicians , real talent . So nice to see in this day and age where 'music' is generated by machines

Bass = God

OH HELL!. I'm 24 seconds in and I had to stop to thank you guys. Made my freakin' day! Oh, my brothers, how I long for the days of live concerts and seeing y'all on stage again.

Now the views are finally going up. This band needs to be heard and become mainline and keep the originals coming as well.

That guitar solo!

I thought I've heard funk before Now that I watched this. It's a bittersweet feeling. Glad that I got to experience this, but I don't think I'll hear something funkier in my life :(
