"Eagle" was done in early'67 I believe... Couldn't play loud live in TV studio's... Didn't have low volume amp overdrive, or overwound guitar pickups, a one off fuzztone built by bassist Keith Olsen, & volume... They didn't have the sophisticated mixing & post technology that exists today, so most TV shows were lip synched... We'd have loved to play live, but that's not how they did it......... Thanks for the kind words guys... Rock on.... PS: I'm Mark Landon, lead guitar, The Music Machine...
Hey Man Brett Eriksen From Dark Angel.............You SIR and your band is amazing.............I'm in awe, I was influenced early by Steppenwolf, and now found your band. You Sir are a major influence I have yet discovered !
Thanks for the kind words guys, Remember, you only go round once, (I think), so live large, chase your dream, be smart, work hard, & rock on!.. PS: Sorry Paul, never heard of the sorrows back in the day... .....Mark Landon, lead guitar, The Music Machine
The more I hear Bonniwell & the music , the more I scratch my head , they r a great original garage band & people just don’t get them , but then again it was the 60’s coming out of the 50’s !! Love there sound !!
This video is labled the Bonniwell Music Machine, it's not... That came later... This video is the original line up, the original "The Music Machine"... ....Mark Landon, lead guitar, The Music Machine
Weemus Studio Ahmadinejad must Have been really young when he hosted this show. Things can sure change in a decade! From the psychedelic revolution to the Islamic!
Top drawer garage/psych/acidrock. Have an original Original Sound 45 of this. Killer sound for 1967. I have always said both metal and punk have the same beginnings, the fuzzed out hypnotic distortion , volume and beat of the 66/67 era.
Hey Mark I just want to say as a guy that plays heavy metal professionally ,its obvious that you helped to define the genre probably more than anyone and for instance this song The Eagle Never Hunts the Fly , the structure of it with the guitar riff being accented by drum and bass stabs got used so much its a metal cliche but you did it first
@SEANFIR That was a really nice top 40 DJ named Casey Kasem, He went on to do American Top 40 for many years... :) ... Mark Landon, lead guitar, The Music Machine.......
you live for ever when you make quality original music and when someone plays the original vinyl thats as close as you can get to the original sound recording,the industry can keep their shoddy digital vinyl and cds i need the proper sonic soundwall that is provided in full by this fine band.i take my hat off to you,you got some grooves that arnt watered down with cheese to try and appeal to the masses thats why your the real deal
@Tikiguy100 You guys were a prime example of the fact that , more often than not, the deserving don't get what they deserve. I'm not telling you anything, of course, but when we look at how many people with middling talent were able to parley one hit into lasting fortunes (Jimmy Buffett, et al) - it really show the lame, Byzantine nature of the music industry. At least you guys staked out one little slice of eternity and nailed it. Thanks for a kickass great song!
@Tikiguy100 Wow! You are the man!! Still play "turn on..."to this day! Absolute best fuzz guitarist of all time!! How about a reunion with Sean and the boys??
What a great sound. Talk Talk was in a set or two in the 80's. Been playing guitar for a while and I can honestly say Mark Landon is one of a select few to play this music with this much tude. Sorry to hear about your bandmate. Thank you for posting these vids.
@kohlt45 Hey, lil Kahuna... Great hearing from you!.. was there workin on Lost, Last Thanksgiving... Hi to your mom, & dad... Aloha.. "Shanghai" Mark Landon..... :) ...
This why you tube is fantastic. This video and tons of others would have never been seen again. Plus people that have never heard this song get exposed to it. And best of all you can talk the lead guitarist of Music Machine (what's shakin Tiki guy100??) Have you recently recorded any music that you could point me in the direction of? What other bands have you been in since MM?
yes, it is the same Keith Olson; after leaving the Music Machine he has had a very sucessful career as a producer for a lot of "big" acts like Fleetwood Mac, Ozzy Osbourne, etc
@Tikiguy100 i only orderd ur" turn on album" from u.s 3weeks back its a classic.. only discoverd ur band last month as i was so sick of the shit tht is out these days i look through youtube to find gems i missed out on, an the music machine was defo one not to be missed.greetings from ireland if your ever over this way i owe ya a pint!
@Tikiguy100 aaaahhhh but do you still have the black gloves?? I think a big difference between Music Machine and alot of your contemporaries, aside from talent of course, was the recording studio. MM's sound was so much more crisp. I assume 8 track or more in the studio?? If I can ask, what was your most memorable gig in the music machine?
@kohlt45 Thaddeus... Aloha... OMG! The last time I saw you you were in diapers... I too love the islands, was on Oahu for Thanksgiving working on "Lost"... My car license plate is "TIKIGUY"... Hope you're well... Say hi to your mom & dad... Keep in touch through Facebook... :-) ... Mark
@SEANFIR...Ahmadinejad, exactly! I said the same thing...must be from M.M.'s brief tour of Iran, invited by the Shah to Americanise. I eternally curse the predominance of lip-synching on about 90% of 60's t.v. apperances. Any atonal unrehearsed but truly live performance would even have been far superior!!!

Man, you are so good, Mark. Your lead on people and me still blows me away. A big fan from the start.
So Olsen built his own fuzztone… good stuff!
Greetings Mr.Mark Landon.I'm supporter of Music Machine.🎸✨💐
In my heart and soul since I was a little kid. Daddy was a fan, and so were the rest of us ❤❤❤
This is the original Music Machine, not the "Bonniwell" Music Machine!!. I know, as that's me Mark Landon on lead guitar...
If that's really you, then thank you so much for your kick ass riffs!
Love this song! Thank you!!
off_track517 How do you know?
amazing!!

Just received the sad word that Sean Bonniwell passed away Christmas Eve, 2011. A huge musical influence and very nice man, he will be missed.
THIS BAND WAS WAY BEFORE ITS TIME THEY SHOULD BE IN ROCK IN ROLL HALL OF FAME THEY ROCK
The more I hear Bonniwell & the music , the more I scratch my head , they r a great original garage band & people just don’t get them , but then again it was the 60’s coming out of the 50’s !! Love there sound !!
one of the best groups in human history!!!
This video is labled the Bonniwell Music Machine, it's not... That came later... This video is the original line up, the original "The Music Machine"...
....Mark Landon, lead guitar, The Music Machine
Mark Landon You still Rocking?
Awesome psychedelic song, even low-fi. Music Machine were one of the more innovative garage rock/psych bands and had a great sound and vocals.
Loved Music Machine. Talk Talk, Double Yellow Line, Eagle Never Hunts the Fly. I don't know why they were not more popular.
One of my Fave Bands! Sean you are an creative inspiration... Thank you so much for all you've done!! You are Missed but Always Remembered!
LOVE these recordings! Definitely a distinctive sound & perspective!
This needs to be put in a time capsule and opened 100 years from now. I would love to see the reaction Awesome times two.
Extremely hot stuff. Never mind the lack of acclaim in its time. This music will live on forever. Immortality comes slowly to some.
Sean - gone, but not forgotten. Your soul lives on in my wax. God bless you man.
This was a forgotten series from Hollywood called "Shebang", but I thought it only ran in 1966 and 1967. Thanks. Great to see this rare treat.
Weemus Studio Ahmadinejad must
Have been really young when he hosted this show. Things can sure change in a decade! From the psychedelic revolution to the Islamic!
What year is this?
Sean-my fav.vocalist along with Beefheart
100% genuine artists, incredible expressionists !
This song is mind-blowing in its originality.
I get a strong magic band vibe from this song - particularly at 1:36 I’m curious to know if Sean and Don knew each other.
I didn't know Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had a TV show in the 60s! Learn some nugget everyday!
Top drawer garage/psych/acidrock. Have an original Original Sound 45 of this. Killer sound for 1967. I have always said both metal and punk have the same beginnings, the fuzzed out hypnotic distortion , volume and beat of the 66/67 era.
This group is the original "Music Machine" NOT the "Bonniwell Music Machine"... I'm the Lead guitarist, Mark Landon.........
Hey Mark

i just found this song on one of their best of CD'S(first heard it on a ''NUGGETS'' cassette in 1987).great early punk-sound music.
A clip from the syndicated late 1960's music show "Shebang", with a young (and bearded) Casey Kasem as host.
great stuff. These guys had it together. Thank you.
Esplendidos,uno de mis grupos favoritos de garage sixties USA.
Sean Bonniwell looked cool during his beard arc for real
They should still be playin'.
@SEANFIR That was a really nice top 40 DJ named Casey Kasem, He went on to do American Top 40 for many years... :) ... Mark Landon, lead guitar, The Music Machine.......
Just the enormous sound we need. So great !
you live for ever when you make quality original music and when someone plays the original vinyl thats as close as you can get to the original sound recording,the industry can keep their shoddy digital vinyl and cds i need the proper sonic soundwall that is provided in full by this fine band.i take my hat off to you,you got some grooves that arnt watered down with cheese to try and appeal to the masses thats why your the real deal

Dyed black hair. Dark clothing and medallions. Anton LeVey must've been proud...
I can't imagine the head of the people looking this at the TV at tat time. Wow !
RIP Sean; you gave so much to more than you knew. Peace ...
MASTERPIECE
Frickin words to live by
Love this !! Wish audio was better
1:14 that TONE is YEAH!!!

So good.
@Tikiguy100
Wow! You are the man!! Still play "turn on..."to this day! Absolute best fuzz guitarist of all time!!
How about a reunion with Sean and the boys??
Great stuff! I didn't know the rest of the original band was still around for this song, since it appeared on the Bonniwell-only album.
These guys Rock
@Tikiguy100
Thanks Mark for helping invent heavy metal music and for having the heaviest band of the sixties
you said it & i agree 100% plus!
i totally agree 110% of that statement indeed!
this band is seriously badass
Good brother Sean telling it correctly.
What a great sound. Talk Talk was in a set or two in the 80's. Been playing guitar for a while and I can honestly say Mark Landon is one of a select few to play this music with this much tude. Sorry to hear about your bandmate. Thank you for posting these vids.

LOL.. amazing video. This is what MTV should be doing instead of the junk they show now.
@PKaasinen Thanks, it was fun........... Mark Landon, Lead guitar, The Music Machine.........
Music Machine footage! I can't believe it! As Fat Freddy once said, "Well, I'll be dipped in dogshit..."
yes, it is the same Keith Olson; after leaving the Music Machine he has had a very sucessful career as a producer for a lot of "big" acts like Fleetwood Mac, Ozzy Osbourne, etc
I like how Mahmoud Ahmadinejad introduces the band ;)
DJ Casey Kasem
R.I.P. :=(
This is better than when he uses the warbly, lounge lizard voice on some of those ballads like CHANCES...
bassist's name is kieth olson. Amyone know if this is the same kieth olson that produced the grateful dead's terrapin station?
It’s “Olsen”, and yes he produced TS
@Tikiguy100 i only orderd ur" turn on album" from u.s 3weeks back its a classic.. only discoverd ur band last month as i was so sick of the shit tht is out these days i look through youtube to find gems i missed out on, an the music machine was defo one not to be missed.greetings from ireland if your ever over this way i owe ya a pint!

What year is this?

For some reason I'm reminded of Jesus Christ superstar
yeah correct the artist name please to Music Machine
PLEASE DISREGARD THE E-MAIL ADDRESS BELOW.
I was trying to share this with a friend.
@SEANFIR...Ahmadinejad, exactly! I said the same thing...must be from M.M.'s brief tour of Iran, invited by the Shah to Americanise. I eternally curse the predominance of lip-synching on about 90% of 60's t.v. apperances. Any atonal unrehearsed but truly live performance would even have been far superior!!!
