Parliament Funkadelic / Cosmic slop (LIVE) - REACTION

[@markwilliams9889]

Parliament Funkadelic is truly the best hard rock/very Funky/Band! there was no one like them!!😎

[@skanderfish3641]

No one. I'd love to see more reactions to the P-Funk.

[@MrDeaconEarl]

"We were too white for black folks and too black for white folks" -George Clinton

[@curbsidecritiqe2066]

Funkadelic did it up in the day! There live songs sometimes vary from there’d studio recordings! They have a lot of music to digest!

[@ejay0723]

The sound you hear in the background is actually a keyboard. It is a clavinet with a wah pedal in front of it, played masterfully by the late, great Bernie Worrell.

[@charliemac64]

LMFAO "He's WEARING acid!" Check out their "Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow"...and tell me these dudes weren't trippin' hard.

[@liftywhiffs]

I think this group was way ahead of their time. One of my favorites. The video you posted I found a few years back and had me mesmerized. The mothership connection from this concert is great too.

[@jbonner22bonner27]

That's Bernie Worrell on clavinet a keyboard brother.

[@the54thfloor47]

Rock, funk all mixed with the Genius of Clinton and the talent. Timeless.

[@verribarry]

This song is about his mama turning tricks to feed her family....I like the version... Cosmic Slop 1973

[@LearnToRefine]

Father Father it's for the Kids, each and every thing i did. Please don't judge me too strong.. Lord knows I meant No wrong!

[@digaholicrecords8620]

[@brettclouse5905]

Congrad.s you're the 1st to do a post on Parliament/funkadelic & the 1st to the funk era on reaction. The next 1 Parliament - Tear the roof of the sucker. video it's on youtube. The old video will blow your mind. the music, the stage & props, lighting & costumes. You will see who the 1st with a wild show concept it wasn't Kiss. Tear the roof the sucker was sampled by rap artists + a lot of there songs also. good post.

[@mddye1]

Parliament-Funkadelic big 3 was George Clinton , Bootsy Collins and Bernie Worrell.. you look at most of the biggest hits the big 3 was behind it. but the rest of the group contributed too and we just as talented so don't sleep on them either. Jerome bigfoot Brailey holding down the drums was dope, Gary Diaperman Shider was big in the group and no one can forget Glen Goins.Michael Hampton was their lead guitarist and he was a beast! . You need to look into them.. hip hop got a lot of samples from this group.. get the DVD from their 1976 tour and you will see one of the best groups in concert ever! Check out the song Funkentelechy the title track and you can listen to superb musicianship... they are the most incredible group...

[@dexmandrake1668]

I love your observation: "He isn't taking acid, he's wearing acid!" Spot on!

[@darionevans8777]

Prince inducted them in the Rock n Roll hall of fame

[@JeffGrimes-bo4cc]

1 this great jams from this great band wow

[@johnlucius1665]

Michael Hampton, Eddie Hazel and Garry Shider the guitarist Par Excellent for Parliament Funkadelic.

[@ultrafunk100]

Let's not forget the great guitarist, vocalist Glen Goins. He, Bootsy and Bernie were uncredited on Johnny Taylor's Disco Lady.

[@gfunk1506]

Its a clavinet with a wah wah played by Bernie Worrell

[@CMorse-xn3fs]

Fuck yeah! All of the P-Funk Collective is just a collection of incredible music. George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, Eddie Hazel and a dozen or so other incredible musicians all playing incredible, unique and DAMN FUNKY music!

[@acekame6529]

I think because there is a much larger pool of white guitarists, esp in metal, it may seem that black guitarists are more laid back. In the 70's, black guitarist were more prevalent in soul/funk which relied on more theatrics than aggression. There are not a heluva lot of Black guitarist in metal/punk/hard rock but the one's who are out there rock pretty hard, i.e. Bad Brains. It just depends on the genre you are playing and your style. IDK.

[@19brittani]

boogie mosson on bass , and bernie worell on keyboards, moog, piano whatever else...

[@brianbatie6650]

You've answered your own question. Black people move to that groove you feel, sometimes known as the pulse, whereas white people tend to move to illustrate the words or melody notes. That instrument is a Hohner D6 clavinet, played by the great Bernie Worrell. You really should read the lyrics the song is so much deeper than the funk that is moving your body. Also check out the original studio version, it is necessary to understand this version, and yes, it is speeding up. The lead guitar is 100% based on blues. metal, and most other types of distorted guitar sounds are all born from the blues.

[@lesliehorwinkle]

Review or not watch the Parliament Houston show 1976. Halloween night. Houston funkers talked about that show...aw, they still talk about it.

[@dexteredwards2048]

I was fascinated with the albums growing up. My father told me the stories about being at the concert with the Mothership landing on stage. What a experience.

[@danielkalamaras7252]

The instrument that is playing in the background rhythmically is a clavinet.It is a 70s funky keyboard model.The keyboard player name was bernie worrel.

[@teresas8173]

LOVED this! Never heard this group before, great 70s funk and rock combined, sounded like that to me. Thx, new music for me....gonna check out some more songs. Trippy 👍✌️❤️🎵🎶

[@themightyfp]

Gail Ferrera that’s dope glad you enjoyed the song. Peace ✌️

[@301gobluehailmich1]

Gotta check out "Flashlight " by Parliament lol jus a straight up party anthem

[@davidna8573]

Please do their song "maggot brain" Houston 1978

[@Easy_Skanking]

Make my funk the P-Funk, I wants to get funked up! This is one of my favorite P-Funk songs even though it is more to the rock side. The Bootsy groove is just tasty, though. So many good ones... "(Not Just) Knee Deep" kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6eVp5qfjqafjrs "Groovealliegiance" kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYuodIR5hs-DaZo "One Nation Under a Groove" kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYiyi6qth61pjrc ...and so on. Then there's all of the solo material from both Bootsy and George Clinton. I love it!

[@ultrafunk100]

Let's also not forget the spaceship called The Mothership that they would land on stage that George Clinton aka Dr. Funkenstein would appear out of. They even landed it in Time Square and Bootsy Collins even appeared from it. They were the ones with a spaceship and was a big part of the show. Funkadelic put out an album a couple years ago, Bootsy Collins had new CD late last year and Parliaments new CD will be out around 5/22/18 called Medicaid Fraud Dog. New single out now called I'm Gon Make U Sick O Me. I think video out 5/8/18.

[@1bigrowdy]

EDDIE HAZEL IS A GUITAR BEAST

[@mrjules1982]

You make a good point there at 7:20 onward, some musical vibes have been with you since the beginning even if you weren't ever aware. The fun thing for me, discovering the P-Funk at 30+ was, I grew up on classical music, jazz and oldskool rock n'roll (me and my sister were especially fond of Little Richard). When I first heard Parliament-Funkedelic, It made so much sense on so many levels! it combined all those types of music, along with the 60s and 70s music that I'd come to appreciate later in life and also retrospectively, of the hiphop that I'd grown to love. It turned out to be the missing link between all that I liked in music.

[@PRODUCEDBYKEV]

I saw the Mothership land twice, Funk is straight up primal. Whatever's on the inside of you that can be moved will be moved. The way YOU are called upon from the inside to do it. This was a teenage Michael Hampton on guitar, opening the concert. The D.O.C. sampled this song for his "Beautiful But Deadly" track.

[@matthieujoly]

Very good reaction.. love the fact that you're loving.. music! Thanks.. i do too, and it's always hard to had to explain that you can love so different genre and not just few ones... great job. Keep it this way!!

[@301gobluehailmich1]

P FUNK!!!!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR THIS!!!!!! Hope theres more funkadelic in the future...✌

[@the54thfloor47]

Shame, it took them so long to decide they belonged there, many of the members died far too young.

[@Noobshire]

Sounds like either some funky electric piano clavichord in the background, or some wakka-wakka 'wah' effect on a guitar, "Which was the fashion at the time..." -Grandpa Simpson

[@koden24]

to me RRT its the rhythm, within the rhythm, within the breakdowns, and your body movements is grooving throughout, even with the melodic Guitar playing!!!

[@meemyselfni8533]

That’s why they were called Funkadelic cause there a mix of psychedelic and funk

[@MrGrifter123]

I was just born in the 70s but soon as i was old enough I started doing research. The 70s were fuckin wild lmao My grandfather used to sit in the garage with his fridge full of beer and liquor and jam this shit lol

[@susanhicks2300]

Funkadelic is a rabbit hole you want to dive into!

[@swez78]

People move with the music in their own way while they play guitar. It's part of the rhythm even of it's crazy looking to us. Neil Young is an exception to the rule though. That man is foolish when he performs! As far as race, I don't agree. I've seen all walks of people play love and it's just how they feel the music. Some people just can't move with rhythm.

[@wickedmirage]

Black, white or purple - some people can't dance and have no rhythm. This is my opinion after teaching dance for over 2 decades.

[@1bigrowdy]

Thanx brother been trying to get somebody to react to this kickass tune these are sone bad boys

[@Johnlylecrego]

Funkadelics are great. Glad you discovered them. Michael Hampton on guitar. Check out more of them when you can.

[@the54thfloor47]

And Eddie Hazel was amazing too, I didn’t see him in this video.

[@timmcgrath676]

[@sampson3121]

Never interrupt a solo

[@starburstppl]

RRT, honestly this was the first time I've ever heard of these people, but they really had it going on. I heard a little bit of everything in there. A little bit of funk, soul, rock, blues, and it mixed so well. It just flowed, and I felt it smoothly moving together, because when I'm listening to heavy metal I'm always sitting in my computer chair, because I'm on a lap top, I think I'm probably the only person on earth that doesn't own an Iphone. lol Anyway, my head is banging, I'm playing air guitar, and just about busting my ears out with the headphones. I'm going to go deaf, because I put it up as loud as it will go. With this, I got out the chair, and was swaying and really getting into the sound. As far as their clothes, you are so right! I was young once, and some of the stuff I wore was simply outrageous. It was just the thing during that era! It was fun, that's why I try not to be critical of what people are wearing today. Everything changes, nothing ever stays the same. I'm rambling, I know! lol I was always so convinced that I could not like anything but metal, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. I found out that I can enjoy other genres, so keep the good stuff coming! I'm ready for it! Peace! :-)

[@barrettgrissett2740]

You're right , you do hear all forms , styles of music from these cats, check out the tune Who says a jazz band can't play dance music.. Blistering duel guiters solos throughout the tune..Masterpeice!

[@rolandplatt1721]

Parliament- R&B based funk Funkadelic- rock/funk/r&b Most were concept albums, and their concerts were as much visually badass as they were musically

[@ellenlyles6402]

That's my shiiiit. I listen to this version almost daily. This is the version of cosmic slop in my opion. Love it.

I got ALL of Parliament Funkadelic CD plus I've attended all their concerts when they visited the city. Mothership Landed. I was there in 1976. Hey Playa,you forgot the skull with the joint in his mouth being lit. "That's some good shit."

[@ericbutler8712]

I was at concert with the skull smoking a joint. 🤘🏿

[@markman5332]

Wow dude. I've been binge watching your reaction vids on rock/hard rock music. I think it's cool how you're stepping out of your comfort zone in music. I'm also a little surprised you haven't reacted to Canada's Greatest Rock band, Rush. They've been around for 40yrs and recently retired a few years ago. I suggest the video YYZ from Rio. I also suggest another Canadian band, The Tragically Hip. I think you'd like the song, "Blow at High Dough". Anyway, love the open mind, and the reactions. Liked and subscribed.

[@themightyfp]

Mark man I have been suggested Rush just haven’t had the chance yet but looking forward to it peace ✌️

[@markman5332]

Rap Rat Trapped appreciated the reply, knew that you'd have a bunch of Rush requests. I'm not sure if you knew this but, Canada is a HEAVY winter sports culture and we LOVE the Winter Olympics. We have CBC tv that only broadcasts Canadian content nation wide, and during the Games,it runs 24/7 live coverage We as a country learned that the lead singer for The Tragically Hip had inoperable brain cancer, and was going to die within the next year or so. They planned a good bye tour, and was sold out within hours, nation wide. The last stop on the tour was in Toronto and in the middle of The Games. CBC tv decided to cut the coverage of The Games to live broadcast the concert in honour of the band and singer, Gord Downie. He is considered Canada's Poet Laureate, a lot of the songs have many social/spiritual views from a Canadian perspective. Again, love the channel, keep it up, give "Blow at High Dough", or even "38 Years old", a listen. Peace

[@themightyfp]

Mark man wow thanks for the backstory. I never got into Olympics stuff but that’s dope and thanks for the talk peace ✌️

[@nathansanford846]

I dare you to react to: Promentalwashpsycosisemenasquad. Alias The Doo Doo chasers!

[@ultrafunk100]

You need to watch the whole DVD when George Clinton blows Glen Goins a joint shotgun before Glen calls in the Mothership and the crowd is going wild. During the last song Bootsy Collins and his band comes out as well as members of Sly and the Family Stone to jam and the stage must have more then 40 people partying and singing. After all, Bootsy Collins co-wrote most the songs.

[@starburstppl]

[@erbtx1]

yeah you had it right in the crawl, Parliament and Funkadelic were two separate bands made of the same musicians (for the most part) playing different types of music, it wasn't until like the 80's that they became one band, this is the Funkadelic side. Def more "fusion" which basically just means "add rock" lol. Jazz fusion, neo-classical fusion, but it can be any blending of different musical styles. This has blues, jazz, rock, R & B, funk mixed together. Not sure if you'd dig it, but Frank Zappa (Crazy talented crazy satirical, crazy prodigious and some of the best musicians) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJKpnJypqpKobLs and Mahavishnu Orchestra (instrumental jazz fusion- formed by John Mclaughlin- Miles Davis' first guitar player in the late 60's/early 70's ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpS0fJ2cm918hbs are 2 bands on the fusion spectrum

[@TheOligoclonalBand]

Guitarists moving while playing is highly individual. Some do, some don't. It also depends on the song and the complexity of the parts someone has to play.

[@AKICITA]

OH HELL YEAH!!! My generations' music once again blowin the ROOF off this suckah! How the hell did I miss the alert for this one??? PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC rocked many an outdoor summertime keg party back in the day 🤟👍🤟👍

[@RayVision3D]

Parliament-Funkadelic did it all. Funk, jazz, rock, R&B, soul, gospel, folk, whatever mood struck them. Especially when they were playing live. The only thing you could be sure of was that it was going to be guuuuuuuud.

[@301gobluehailmich1]

you are def right...a band like P Funk draws inspiration from everything....this is a perfect example why music really is the universal language

[@derekwilson9127]

Just watched your channel for the first time Great job If you don't mind I'd like to send you some suggestions for this show first of all Chocolate City which is a tribute to Washington D.C!

[@icu___]

Most likely you're hearing the electric piano - my favorite instrument I'd want to make a comeback. These guys are next level in all areas. The mothership. IMHO Funkadelic should be up there in every great rock convo including Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones etc.

[@xenophon343]

Yes, you're definitely learning based on your comments...glad you're enjoying the ride. Back in the day, I loved the fusion of electric guitars with brass. Check this out...Brass Connection on Soul Train. These old videos never get old! kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2fUYpt8orOad8U

[@darrellwaller6205]

I like funk. The 70's just rocked, man. I won't suggest KC and the Sunshine Band because I'm sure you have already heard that stuff. A somewhat obscure song, though, is a band called Heat Wave. They had a big hit called "Groove Line". A classic funk song. The opening is epic!

There's definitely certain stuff hardwired in our brains. I was raised on the blues, and a good blues riff will make the hair on the back of my head stand up everytime. If a guy hits a blue note I can instinctively hear it.

[@jamesleblanc7437]

This was Funkadelic, more rock oriented. Parliament was even more tripped out with crazier costumes and a horn section. More pure funk. Same collective of musicians, different styles.

[@spiralarips]

It one of the best live performance of Funkadelic, here we have a Michael Hampton at his best

[@ultrafunk100]

That sound your hearing is a Bernie Worrells organ with a wah wah pedal. As far as guitar players, im one myself and it all depends on what your playing and feeling, not what color you are. Some feel what they're playing and some just play. It's all about the guitarist. Parliament was more R&B while Funkadelic had a more acid fock sound but were the same musicians. Some of the most funky like Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, Garry Shider, Eddie Hazel, Glen Goins, Jerome Brailey, Gary Cooper, Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker from James Browns Band, just to name a few. More then 20 musician on stage in the band all at one time and always has 3 guitars players or more playing in the band and at the shows.

[@LearnToRefine]

I think that's Gary Shider in the diaper singing lead. P-Funk is Rock/Jazz/Soul/ whatever they needed to put into the song. George was on some sci-fi stuff with the concepts and outfits. Parliament "Bop Gun" was another dope ass song with Glen Goins singing lead. He was a gospel influenced singer who brought that strong voice to tha FUNK

[@grendeltech]

Make my funk the P-funk.

[@ledzepandhabs]

You are indeed hearing many forms of music here, because at the time all these sounds you here are generally new, shit was not done before so this is creation in action later to be followed by others who were feeding off that and creating more new shit. George Clinton was a straight out rocker, then he heard the Beatles Sgt. Pepper and his eyes were opened to what was possible and then funk was born.

[@billycaufield1135]

I think the hard 'rocking' you mention is more a function of having formal musical training...I was taught to physically keep the beat to help you feel the flow of the music, but on the whole the energy should be in your fingers and not wasted by unnecessary motion like headbanging. Of course, part of the foundation of music where people headbang or are aggressive while playing is an anti-norm/revolutionary/postmodern one and it therefore is part of the style, but Parliament's musicians were 'of' the Motown scene and would likely have received similar training to what I received.

[@Easy_Skanking]

@RRT: As to the instrumentation in this one, there's a rhythm guitar using a wah pedal in a very choppy funky patterns as well as a percussive sounding electric organ playing similar comping patterns. These guys have so much of this comping and improvising it all just weaves in and out of your attention. You hear new stuff every time you listen. As to guitar players movements, I think it does have a lot to do with the type of music they are playing. This song is a hell of a lot smoother and groovier than the Neil young song and the guitarists feel that. Some of it does seem to be a black or white cultural thing. The kinds of music the P-Funk guys grew up with was a different kind than Neil Young but they did have more overlap with SRV, for instance. There are always exceptions as Steve Vai, being an Italian descent white guy, is a smooth player that drives women nuts with his seductive playing and moves. Tony McCalpine, a black guy, is a virtuoso on both guitar and piano with a classical upbringing. His movements are pretty stiff when he moves at all. However, the music he plays is so demanding, most people can't play it at all let alone move to it. LOL

Great videos, man! Keep 'em coming! I grew up listening to rock, but have very diverse tastes. I really enjoy listening to YOUR perspective on some of the music I really like. I do have a couple suggestions (just saw Katy Perry vid and thought of someone you could try): Melanie Marinez Dollhouse ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpS5p2yIZr-FbpY ) or Carousel ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHKlZnR5bt6bj5I ). For WTF Wednesday: Try Billy Thorpe Children of the Sun kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH-lk2qJitaGsMk (some trippy shit there.)

[@helmedon]

As far as guitar body language, I don't think there's much of a racial separation. As a guitar player, and a white dude, I'm not very animated. Facial expressions are pretty universal if you pay attention, although some folks get way into their music to the point that they sorta illustrate what they're feeling when they play. Others are just into jumping around or like to walk. Remember that Chuck Berry was one of, if not THE first dude to move around and dance with his guitar. A lot of people cued off of that. I think it's more dependent on the style than the guitarist. Also the skill of the player. For me personally, I can't jump around or get too overly animated because I have to concentrate on what I'm doing. Especially with soloing or while singing. Guys like Steve Vai, he can toss the guitar in the air and play it with his mind, that's how good he is. I don't remember if you've reacted to Tender Surrender by Steve Vai, the live version. It's been said that he doesn't play the guitar, he makes love to it. Tender Surrender - Steve Vai kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6iaZaZ6jLV7bbc
