April 4, 200718 yr im not a big level 42 fan though it must be said. :lol: :lol: Just had to get that one in there yeah...? In denial are we mate....? :P :lol: Sorry, I just look at that gormless git with his 'slappy' bass style and I just think "Flea is just SO much better at it than you mate".... Listen to some older Red Hot Chili Peppers to see how this whole "Funky/Rocky/Poppy" hybrid, experimental thing should be done.... Also, bands like Firehose, Fishbone...... Streets ahead of the likes of Level 42....
April 6, 200718 yr Whenever I hear the words "Jazz" and "Funk" said in the same sentence, I truly shudder..... :wacko: i think there might be one instance where the words jazz and funk might appear in a sentance and it might be alright Level 42 did make some sort of claim to be a "Funk" band though, didn't they....? cant remember if Level 42 were mentioned on Soul Britannnia, however its repeated on BBC 4 tonight at 9pm. Its another great series on the history of music doing Britfunk and Britsoul (even if 99% of the music is a bit jazzfunk $h!te). think tonight goes thru all the 80s and stuff like Brand New Heavies. D&B I think is next weeks edition. 8pm - BBC 4 James Brown and the AWB live shows 9pm - BBC 4 Soul Britannnia 10pm - BBC 4 At 10pm its Later on Nu Soul (last night was Al Green, Nevil Bros, Soloman Burke, Sam Moore, Geno Washington etc of classic soul sounds). 11pm - BBC 4 At 11pm tonight its Soul Britannia @ the Barbican pt 2, a live show with Hamish Stuart and Linda Lewis 12am - BBC 4 At 12am Midnight its the acclaimed film Standing in the shadows of motown, all about the funk brothers who did loads of background stuff for loads of the Tamla Motown stars. they have been on tour recently but with only about two original member and most have dies since this film was made (a funk BV Social club :lol: )
