Defunkt - Defunkt - Live in Germany 1984

[@chieffunker9717]

RHCP always cited Defunkt as a huge influence.

[@presinald]

John and Flea just did a thing talking about their influences on Dublab radio. Flea said Out in LA was basically his attempt of imitating Defunkt

[@TheMiloRez]

@@presinald hi! i'm here after listening to them talking about this band. I'm hooked now.

[@kallebriede]

AUFWACHEN...

[@jonbecker03]

i guess the band hasn't received much recognition because it's essentially a "jazz" unit that plays funk. (i'm sure the "jazz" tag alienates a lot of people.) but the band should be commended for its lonevity, having been in existence for over twenty years.

[@aroulleauxdugage]

My eighties belong to Defunkt ! Not only but in the firsts.

[@robscheps7722]

Personnel : Joe Bowie- lead vocals, trombone; John Mulkerin- trumpet; Kim Clarke- bass; Kenny Martin -drums; Bill Bickford- guitar; Ronny Drayton- guitar.

[@mglaser6811]

@@warvandal3443 you're goddam right

[@meeressen]

Those German's are just out of control!!!!

[@WailinHeino]

lol...truer words have never been said

[@lextual]

Wah! The camera pulling out to a totally inert audience, like they were sitting in on a seminar or lesson. Which I guess it was in a way. A seminar on spastic funky jazz. Those German's are just out of control!!!!

[@RobertoGinsburg]

+lextual Is THE band influence on Anthony Kiedis and Flea (they were Hardcore L.A.Punk Rockers) for reach deep into Funky grooves.

[@lextual]

I am aware of Kiedis and Flea, their origins and such.

[@dollhaus1]

RIP Ronny Drayton. Dammit

[@BlackGypsyMusic]

Word, bro. Was at his memorial service in Jamaica, Queens earlier. I actually came in here to post the same🤘🏾 #queensstandthefuckUP

[@jeremyellismusic]

I can't believe how much this sounds like the early Chili Pepper records! Amazing.

[@boomfield]

too late? defunkt, yeah baby !

[@funkazoid2511]

you damn right!

[@miroslavhynar2472]

super muzic rytmika super

[@Markus_Breuss]

yeahhhh !!!

[@achenarmyst2156]

My funk jazz explosion in the 80s 🤩 Joseph an Kim are still on stage, but of course lacking their energy of those crazy days 😝

[@mohomoho1]

I'm sure the Screaming Headless Torsos listened to them.

[@groovmarketing]

Peppers cited Defunkt as a huge influence

[@added23]

@SOYUNPINCHEBOY i know that early rhcp was heavily based off defunkt but the chili peppers ditched this style in the late 80s and are now a completely different band. i dont think its fair to say that there would be no rhcp without these guys, although i do love their music from the 80s alot more than what theyre making now.

[@elbib2446]

the real deal

[@louisef.9137]

Absolutely fabulous!! Oh yeah...and fuckin' funky too!

[@JoKoKsa]

@PaulderDreher As far as i know RHCP even called Defunkt an influence on their style of music

[@MWRiff]

@RadiusBass Lets bring it back heeeyaaah!

[@connyverano07]

Hey man! This is a live track from a TV show, not a concert!

[@PaulderDreher]

@JoKoKsa i know :) im a big fan of them

[@jjj13031984]

Auf dieses Video antworten... lol, that's true. I'm from germany, and I'm officially embarrased for this.

[@TheBluewarriorsheart]

Thermonuclear Sweat on your skin....

[@xyz9610]

the chorus effect on the bass makes me uncomfortable...but at that time it was....in vogue.

[@FunkyFellaDaBassplayer]

Flea tried to copy this bass groove as hard as he then could. And that's how Out In L.A bassline was born.

[@GnrRnR13]

@u2MRtheFLY funkadelic

[@VilladsBugge]

What is the name of the song in the beginning?

[@MWRiff]

@loudbellows In your opinion

[@mikedown1250]

saw these guys in catford UK supporting howard jones....kim was awesome ...jones...not so much

[@SunKing968]

Holy FACK!

[@Happysundaze]

Classic funk from a great band, is there a vinyl upload of this anywhere?

[@BlueMeanieSulk]

The last thing Kim will worry about is Flea copying her :::::)

[@PaulderDreher]

the istrumental sounds like chili peppers

[@TheMiloRez]

hmmm voice kinda does too!

[@added23]
