The Average White Band has never been an average Band, they move you they excite the brain waves that travel throughout the body they trigger memories that unfold into the present timeframe and build a newer version of the talented musical layers that will become a part of you. Pick up the pieces, I was there when they played live, and it will stay with me the rest of my life...

I'll tell ya - 'cause their hack engineer (drummer sharing some fault as well) isn't adjusting his every-gaddam-day, 90's rock drum tones to something more appropriate for old school funk/r&b - and the resulting sound is... well... retarded. Kinda like the soulless vocals in PUTP. I'm not puttin down the whole thing as a POS, I will say it's pretty far from impressive though.
@EricAnthem9 жыл бұрын
After letting some time pass and having now given it a fresh, second listen, the kick and snare tones still suck. AWB's performance is awesome as always. I also give the drummer huge kudos for his kit's nod to Robbie McIntosh, and his performance is outstanding like everyone else's. None of that is in conflict with my unfavorable assessment of the kick and snare tones. Perhaps communicating how your perception differs from mine would prove to be a more constructive response. When confronted with people who don't share your opinion, to respond simply with name calling doesn't seem to have many apparent benefits.
@BillyCosmosis9 жыл бұрын
Eric Anthem Really? Personally I looove that slightly louder-in-the-mix and more aggressive snare smack in this context. Tweaks the dance energy up a notch and gives it a slightly more modern vibe while still keeping it fully funky. KIller drummer too, all groove and right in the pocket. Sax player is a monster too...

Went to TWO stores. Not a frigging AVB CD in either store. If I wanted to ORDER IT online, I wouldn't have left the house, right? The online sites are inanely geared to ordering online. I just wanted to buy it, like NOW. Btw, you only needed the five seconds of the song on "People v OJ" (Episode 6, Marsha, Marsha, Marsha") to notice this is a REALLY great funk band...

These guys are good? :P (you youngens) They are the freakin epitome, the essence of FUNK! The bass player Alan Gorrie and the lead guitarist Onnie Mcintyre are the original members on this lineup, the sax player Freddie V has been with them since the 90's and too bad so sad the keyboardist Eliot Lewis who was a phenomenal addition to the group in the 90's is no longer with them he plays with Daryl Halls band on Live from Daryl's House now. So for as far as the drummer and keyboardists go they are forever rotating new stock. They are getting old and brittle but intensely funky so go see them if you can and keep the defibrillator close in case any of them drop, all will be lost...:)
