Bootsy Collins is STILL one of the baddest bass players on the planet. You gotta appreciate live music. Not one auto tune or soundtrack backing them up. I truly miss raw talent.

[@alifrombenhill3374]

They did use auto tune. Bootsy used it before. Folks try to see everything thru rose colored glasses. Ain't nothing new but technology. Smh. During that same era, older musicians were critical cause all the electronic music like the keyboard he playing. Everyone thinks their era was pure. It wasn't.

[@RayVision3D]

@@alifrombenhill3374 Sorry, but AutoTune is a computer program that didn't exist until the late 90s. They did use a device called a vocoder which is not the same. The vocoder uses the person's voice to shape the sound of a synthesizer played by someone, usually the singer. Unlike AutoTune both required lots of practice and talent to make sure the vocals and synthesizer were synchronized. Parliament Funkadelic used every piece of new technology that came out to see if they could create new sounds and grooves, so they would have used AutoTune if it had been around, but it wasn't.

[@alifrombenhill3374]

@@RayVision3D I know all that but it's just an improvement on that tech. It's still voice altering. It was invented to make people sound better but people like TPain figured out how to use it differently. Only reason folks don't like it is cause so many copied and saturated the market. Same way people copied Funkadelic in that era. There were plenty of watered down copies in each era. That's all that is. Bootsy was super talented and from the era of performers. It was a different time. U couldn't even get on a stage without thousands of hours of practice and that's before a label put u with an A&R. Times changed and performing became less important with the rise of rap. Rappers that had good shows were looked at as soft or pretty boys like Hammer and Kane. The hip hop took over the world and changed all facets of music so now when a person has a great show we are surprised. Then there aren't labels making artists develop anymore. But it's so much raw talent out there. So much. You gotta look for it or appreciate thru the bias.

[@illuminickiblanco]

[@bethwalker7428]

I was a senior in high school when Bootsy's first album came out,I was living n Michigan (by way of Cincinnati Ohio) I was sitting n class and we a Dope teacher who let us listen to the radio, I was listening to the intro of "Bootsy" and the band member said "Out of Cincinnati Ohio" I lost it!!!! it's rare ur hometown gets that kind of recognition n a hit song like that, I wore that album out, Bootsy is our favorite son here in the 'Nati, I've been a Funkateer since I 1977.😉

This is one of the greatest ever. Bernie Worrell was a classically trained musician, writing his first concerto before he was a teenager. George Clinton credits him with giving Parliament-Funkadelic their sound. Bernie used the precursor to the synthesizer/Moog and a Wa-Wa pedal to create that sound in Flashlight. The experimentations he conducted while in these bands heavily influenced the development of these electronic musical instruments.

[@CaalamusTube]

Waht was "the precursor to the synthesizer/Moog" ?

[@BSIII]

It pains me how underrated and underappreciated Bernie was/is. He was our modern day Bach, and he should've been living very comfortably when he died and his wife shouldn't have had to ask for donations for the funeral. That man was a musical genius.

[@BSIII]

The keyboard solo on Loose Booty from the America Eats it's Young album is just a face melter. Tales of Kidd Funkadelic, Atmosphere, ect. He was more than vital to Funkadelic and Parliament, and basically pioneered the synth bassline funk that became huge in the 80s and led into rap/hiphop (where I started making music on his formula before I knew it was his formula). Bernie was just special.

[@Rhythmicons]

Bernie had a unique custom purple minimoog voyager that sold for 1700 bucks, well below market value for a stock model with no provenance. His clavinet fetched over 50k though. The auction was awful.

@@markabboud8564 Stupid comment by a stupid person. BOOTSIE AND OTHERS (Miles Davis and anyone who matters) worshipped Jimi who revolutionized the instrument and played it better than anyone. P Funk's best guitarist Eddie Hazel when he did 'Maggot brain' said he was channeling Jimi's soul. Great guitar work is more than just fast scale playing but taste and feel as well. *'Machine Gun' being a great example of what he alone could do, while 'Who Knows' sounds like P funk before P funk with Buddy Miles's rock steady beats and Billy Cox's funk bass. I know you were only joking but many these days are too imprressed by technique and do not 'get' soul or feeling. Your joke was in poor taste, sorry!

George still does his little bit so folks dont firget him but can we give him a nod for showing how incredibly versatile his creativity is. You can hardly find a musical score that doesnt have his name or danny elfman the punker from the black knights of oingo boingo including the simpsons theme song.

When I was very young, the 1st guitarist I was aware of was Hendrix. I recall the Band of Gypsys album with Hendrix w/ his strat on it laying on my folks' coffee table. He changed how the lead guitar was looked at forever. All of the greats after him mention him as a main inspiration. A few years later, I picked up the guitar myself and never stopped playing it. I learned how to play chitty versions of his songs by listening to a phrase then pick up the needle moving it back a mm, over and over and over.
