As previously reported, Collins and long time friend BUCKETHEAD (ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist) have released a video for the track 'Minds Under Construction', featured on Collins' new album, Tha Funk Capital Of The World. The funk legend and guitar virtuouso have collaborated on a long list of music projects over the last two decades, but the video for 'Minds Under Construction' is the first time both icons have delved into the world of creating videos together. Check it out below:
Shot back in January during Collins' visit to Buckethead's home in the Los Angeles suburbs, 'Minds Under Construction' was not initially intended for public release. Collins, who notoriously videotapes much of his life "to document his time on planet earth" has not released any of his personal videos until 'Minds Under Construction'.
SceneFour, who co-owns Bootsy Collins Funk University, was a catalyst to the video going public.
"The 'Minds...' video was so compelling that I knew Bootsy should release it publicly," Cory Danziger, owner of SceneFour states. "There's a huge archive of videos and images that Bootsy has that are for his personal archives, and 'Minds Under Construction' is one of many. But the hidden messages, the collaboration with Buckethead, and the song itself are so strong, that I knew this should be seen worldwide."
