*******************
“We spoke out against racism, hunger, gangs, crimes, and turf wars, as we embraced all people with hope and the spirit of brotherhood. It’s just as apropos today.” - WAR
WAR, the original street band, was founded by veteran record producer Jerry Goldstein and rock legend Eric Burdon in 1969. Together with the original band members Lonnie Jordan, Howard Scott, Lee Oskar, B.B. Dickerson, Harold Brown, the late Thomas “Papa Dee” Allen, and Charles Miller, they blended many musical styles and influences. The musical laboratory that is WAR yielded 17 gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards, including the triple platinum ‘The World Is A Ghetto’ and double platinum ‘Why Can’t We Be Friends?’ and ‘Greatest Hits’, and hit songs "Why Can't We Be Friends?", "Low Rider", "Spill the Wine", and "The Cisco Kid".
WAR began playing live shows to sold-out audiences in the 1970s and continues their commitment to being road WARriors, touring over 150 dates a year to this day.

As a musician myself, freaking A+ creativity, what a unique sound.

[@ajm2360]

I agree 100%. I play the drums/percussion(im much better at this than the other) and keyboard percussion(think like a vibraphone or xylophone) and I absolutely love the percussion in this song. Also I feel the melody is so concrete yet flexible that there could also be a marimba or vibes solo in there. Brilliant. BTW, what do you play?

[@crookedzebrarecords]

@@ajm2360 The xylophone adds such a great dynamic to songwriting, I have a fisher price one, I definitely need to upgrade and get myself a PROPER one, those harmonic dings add so much punch to a song. Guitar and bass mainly, various genres.

The song may not be in your genre taste, but if you appreciate the bass line of this song, you might appreciate the one from T-Rex's "20th Century Boy." kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmPJqnVsmNl3n5I Placebo did a more modern cover of it which sounds almost exactly like the original, but the instruments are punched up quite a bit and the bass hits a little harder.

[@eduardopena5893]

@@meredithinserra4670 Glad I thought you might be on the same page with T-Rex. If you haven't heard the Placebo cover (without David Bowie) I suggest giving it a listen. It is pretty amazing how on point the music is, and the lead singer while not sounding exactly like Marc Bolen, does a pretty good job. They did the song for a movie called Velvet Goldmine...which has some other interesting covers....like Thom Yorke of Radiohead covering Roxy Music's 2HB.

Still, to this day, very few artists have the musical freedom to record whatever they want. It is also why Prince had problems with the Warner brothers company decades back. It is why I stated they were authentic and did not go any further. Overall, I have no doubt that you are a TRUE FAN of the group WAR!
