awww look errybody Bootsy's baby sitting I wonder if bootsy has to change him after the gig?............that babys gonna have him some stories to tell when he grows up. Like the time Bootsy was so high all he could do was just (smile into the mic) yep I wished I had Bootsy for a baby sitter when I was a little baby...
I was I was alive when they were in their prime (not that they are any worse), so I could see them LIVE! I bought a "best of" Funkadelic and thought it was okay back in 1990, but LIVE , man, these guys sound far better live than their albums which seems pretty rare. Anyone know of any good live albums from Funkadelic / Parliament, Funkadelic Parliament, Bootsy Collins, George Clinton, Eddie Hazel or any of the members (solo)?
So, he tried out his new effect-box, but as a solo it really, I mean REALLY sucks. Perhaps it sounds great when you are stoned, but today I am not and this sucks!!
@gf3tw I agree with you there...I have a feeling he just up-voted his own comment, like, 7 times...He's just a bigot with nothing better to do with his sad little life than make others hate theirs as much as he hates his own...
I was just playing this really loud in my car ... i mean loud .... and now ... I am being sued for child support by the whole city of Atlanta cause I spewed all over the place!
Okay folks, I couldn't take it any longer and had to comment. This is Boosty. He played with James Brown and all the groups George Clinton created (Parliment/Funkadelic/P-Funk All Stars/Parlet). His hey-day was during the heat of the funk era. No, he's not Wooten, Clarke or Johnson or Graham, but he was known for being a pocket bassist and using effects. Please educate yourself on FUNK. There are millions from the 70's. Get your Google on folks.
Does it really confuse anybody ELSE how such awesome playing can then be twisted until its a discussion about how sick somebody else partner is? Like I mean, I'm a bassist, and while this isn't necessarily my style (and if it was, I DEFINITELY couldn't be this good) Bootsy is much better in my opinion than any bassists that are mainstream now... Oh wait... music now is made on a computer... with synths... Oh where oh where did musicianship go?
WANNA-BE GUITAR PLAYER PLAYING BASS!! SO TYPICAL. He can't really play... just a bunch of freaks getting attention BECAUSE they're a bunch of FREAKS!!!
@Pinstripedtie your weak. You can't play in a man's game. Go home and tell your girl your trouble. You see his bass? That bass cost more
than your car. You know what it takes to be like Bootsy? It takes brass balls. Go and do likewise, the opportunity is out there pick it up and if you don't I got no sympathy for you. I wish you good luck but you wouldn't know what to do with it if you got it.
Respond to this video... Oh go fuck your same sex partner you SICKO!!! I will not comment on your mentally insane comments any further... so think you have won, cause you are sick anyway!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@Pinstripedtie Umm, Im actually not gay, moron. But I'm not a hater, either. Nor am I a "sicko". Personally, your hatred is the worst kind of "sicko" there is. And by the way, people who really HATE gays as badly as you do, are usually covering up the fact that they themselves are gay and they hate it so bad they turn the hatred outwards against others. It's a classic move. Just so you know, this is what you're broadcasting to the world every single time you hate on gays like you did here.
@SarahRachel59 You're not a sicko?? Hmmm... could have fooled ME!!!
and where did I say the word, HATE??? Huh??? Please show me!! I think SICKO'S such as yourself are putting words into my mouth like all sicko's do!! I don't hate... I feel sorry for all the BRAIN-FRIED sicko's and fagots disrupting our well being!! Now go take your vibrator and make the sun shine for yourself... because you apparently aren't getting any!! You da' MORON!!
@Pinstripedtie You epic fail just on the count that you dont even know who Bootsy Collins is. There really isnt anything else you can say after that. Total fail.
And stop hatin on queers, you inbred twat of a sheep-shagger.
@SarahRachel59 Yah,... your right... I should stop hating on SICK people!! Gays obviously have a brain dysfunction and can't help it. So I should blame all you queer-ass-fagots!! So Sorry!!
@Pinstripedtie-Can you be more misinformed? Bootsy Collins is responsible for some of the greatest bass lines that have ever been created. You couldn't clean the crust out of this man's fingernails.
@theManTCBflash,evidentally you know nothing about Parliament/Funkadelic/Bootsy's Rubber Band.Gary Shider is one of the original members of Funkadelic,and has always worn that diaper.RIP Gary,long live the Funk
2:24 onwards i had to pause the video & change my trousers
i don't think words describe how funky this motherfucker is.
Ha i love the nappy wearing guy :P think he played with RHCP & Clinton at the oscars (some guy was wearing a nappy with helium filled balloons attached to them)
I just don't feel like Bootsy's bass would be nice to play..Something's so stiff about it. Larry's bass? Great. Doug's bass? Great. Victor, Stanley, Marcus, Jaco's bass? Great. Bootsy's...eh...I could do without it.
i'm new skool, not old skool, and i grew up on Victor wooten and Les claypool but i TOTALLY agree with you. in my opinion, les claypool is too into frogs and stuff and doesn't write or sing about anything i care about (and it aint sexy) and wooten, well, wooten is intellectually stimulating but otherwise sort of emotionless and boring.
@theManTCBflash The guy is the background is Gary Shider, who has been an important member (vocals/guitar/writer) of Parliament-Funkadelic and many of the off shoot groups since the early 1970s. He, uh, often wears a diaper on stage.
@theManTCBflash The guy is P-Funk musician/vocalist Garry Shider who recently passed away from cancer. R.I.P. He really was a really nice guy if you met him. The diaper was an old stage get-up.
@theManTCBflash awww look errybody Bootsy's baby sitting I wonder if bootsy has to change him after the gig?............that babys gonna have him some stories to tell when he grows up. Like the time Bootsy was so high all he could do was just (smile into the mic) yep I wished I had Bootsy for a baby sitter when I was a little baby...
I don't agree, he'd be lucky to make the top five but we should be grateful for the vibrancy he brought to the JB's sound and beyond. Thanks for the good times, BC!
I'd put Bootsy in the top five. He isn't the best on technique, but is definitely the funkiest. No less than Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten acknowledge Bootsy as the funkiest bass player of them all!
Thanks. I didn't check for a date on this vid and didn't know if it's before or after Glen Goins passing. Just a little aside note: I played in a funk band during the 80's called The Funktion Freeks and we were in the Parliament/Gap Band/Rick James mode. Our guitar player would sometimes come onstage in a clear plastic suit (yes, you read that right!) with nothing underneath but a pair of tighty whiteys. Wish I could find some pictures of that.
You're not going to get these sounds with today's tech. It will be too flat and robotic. Invest in some old school effects like a Mutron and some Electro Harmonix gear: I recommend the Small Stone phase shifter, Bass Balls compressor; I forgot what they called their flanger and to throw a curve in the mix, a Cry Baby wah wah. I used a Small Stone and Cry Baby on my bass back in the 80's. Guys would see the setup and think, what the hell, you're not a guitar player. Then they heard it.....!
Thanks, I really couldn't remember those. The Dr. Q was the Mutron effect. Afterthefox7, was that comment meant for me, about what one's name partly implies? I'm not offended, just trying to understand what you mean. Wmdbassplayer is an inside joke reffering to a cop that said to me he has to keep the streets safe from us dangerous musicians. I make a living as a busker and am supposed to have a sound permit for my amp in NYC.
Back in the days the main effects to get these sounds were the Mutron pedals. The closest thing I can think of from todays tech to get the best sounds would be the Roland Multieffects Bass pedal. I don't know the exact model number right off hand, but in my opinion that's the best you're going to get unless you invest in all the original old school gear, which is gonna cost you a lot.

You're not going to get these sounds with today's tech. It will be too flat and robotic. Invest in some old school effects like a Mutron and some Electro Harmonix gear: I recommend the Small Stone phase shifter, Bass Balls compressor; I forgot what they called their flanger and to throw a curve in the mix, a Cry Baby wah wah. I used a Small Stone and Cry Baby on my bass back in the 80's. Guys would see the setup and think, what the hell, you're not a guitar player. Then they heard it.....!

Flanger was "Electric Mistress" and a Dr.Q.

Thanks, I really couldn't remember those. The Dr. Q was the Mutron effect. Afterthefox7, was that comment meant for me, about what one's name partly implies? I'm not offended, just trying to understand what you mean. Wmdbassplayer is an inside joke reffering to a cop that said to me he has to keep the streets safe from us dangerous musicians. I make a living as a busker and am supposed to have a sound permit for my amp in NYC.

so u know how 2 create these sounds similiar 2 bootsy like a bass soundin like a lead

Back in the days the main effects to get these sounds were the Mutron pedals. The closest thing I can think of from todays tech to get the best sounds would be the Roland Multieffects Bass pedal. I don't know the exact model number right off hand, but in my opinion that's the best you're going to get unless you invest in all the original old school gear, which is gonna cost you a lot.

Sorry the settings are from the soul and not online or robotic as your name partly implies
