I was and still am heavily influenced by Funk music. Most of today's funk bands don't do it for me. They just stand around and play. No stage show, no costumes, no choreography and no 'real' funk chops, IMHO! Just because you can slap bass a mile a minute does not make you a funk bass player!

Members t3ch Posted October 15, 2009 Members Share Posted October 15, 2009 I mean.........really?? This is NOT Funk! I love RHCP's funky songs, but that was a pretty poor example. I'd go with something more like... [YOUTUBE]Ohua-puP3js[/YOUTUBE] Or maybe Aeroplane. There is one song that plays on the radio pretty often that always makes me act a fool in my car, but I can't think of the title atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
