[monkeysoulpoet]

I just recently saw LArry Graham playing with Prince. The man has still got it.

[MrTheconquistador]

@monkeysoulpoet sounds like a fuckin awesome show

[monkeysoulpoet]

@MrTheconquistador ABSOLUTELY. Prince also had Maceo Parker playing sax!

[kinstube]

THANK YOU !!!

[mardria78]

Coldest 4 or 5 chords repeated and a few words and sounds.....just classic! NO ONE can do this today!

[britdemmen]

I'm not into funk music, but this is so fuckin awesome... definitely funk is for black people

[goldsmiths]

@britdemmen lol hilarious comment but at the same time i know what u mean

[kinstube]

@britdemmen FUNK = ALL PEOPLE !!

[Sirscorps]

I just came.

[ColdOasisU2]

ladies and gentleman larry graham

[miqua7]

this joint was banging during that time. the bass line was something never heard before, that thump da thump, man that shit was the joint.

[mitchwheresmybunny]

I've picked up my bass and played along with this cut several times. NICE!!!

[bapyou]

The album this song is from -- There's a Riot Goin' On -- is deep, wide, and scary. Sly Stone's greatest, in my opinion.

[mitchwheresmybunny]

always a nice song to plug and play my bass too....

[nostalgiahistoria67]

One heckuva funky groover!

[StevieDebe]

This song makes my neck move. Pure Funk and nuthin' but the funk.

[jackonfire85]

Che capoccie a microfono! X''-D.... Fantastica!

[oyaschild9]

let us leave out larry graham he is kicking on bass

one of the best funk songs i ever heard

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

fuck the bass

the guitar is fucking sex

[FunkyWhitePimp]

I've only ever posted 2 songs on YouTube and they were both taken off.

I'm thinking about posting the song 'There's a Riot Goin' On'.

That'd be funny if YouTube took that one off due to copyright infringement.

Bunch of retards them YouTube mods.

[doctafonk101]

stank fonk!

[mrfudgeyhead]

The one dislike was me.

I'm so sorry, I only had one hand free (for obvious reasons) and I accidentally clicked it.

Next time I'll just use both hands, no more of this amateur stuff.

[barrabas357]

dis stank man...Sly Larry and Freddie backed up with gregg laying down the beat now how come they ain't never do this live or any of the Riot songs(except Family Affair)

[rstblackorchid]

1 person couldn't handle the groove and accidentally hit the dislike button in their last breaths.

[noroofs]

the coolest 4 chords in music history N soundin sooooo drugy nevers been interpreted soooo raw n sad as sly did on this song... you ither like it a lot or love it too an extreme.

[GingerbreadCoco]

Just jammin' and then this happened.

[liveoperator]

does anyone else find this song depressing and sad? i feel like it's purposely insincere. like he's being sarcastic because his life is so messed up.

[ImaniHekima]

This song has no beginning or end. It's still grooving.

[left52]

yeah ! listen to the guitar rift,then the lick! cmon! mannn!

[stoneisbackforgood]

According to Freddie it is Sly on guitar , he is just singing

[organgrinder55]

The guitar is a combination of three seperate tracks all played by Freddie Stone.

[funkhouse111]

somebody  got the Funkability Factor right on this jam.Like wow man.

Thanx 4dapost.JazzyG.

[gittahfiend]

[sotool76]

Funkiest tune ever.

[thedr62]

Sly on guitar,,larry graham on bass

[grandpasun]

This was one of the first true REMIXES in history. And it's soooo nasty!!!

[Bluesdirections]

Anyone want to confirm this ? It is said to Sly Stone playing the bass and maybe Bobby Womack on guitar. Anyone ?

[papaguyocious]

the bezt,,,,,greg and larry the bezt,,,,,2funkeee,,,,sLy'respe­ct-guyo(daysOFwild)....

[tftka]

Spiritual!!! One of the heaviest funks, eva!

[disrupted1]

Base so funky...you can't smell what the Rock WAS Cookin'

[atomicdog42]

Bass so funky you can smell it through your speakers!!!

[eknogad]

Who else has re-recorded a hit to another beat?

[trondy89]

sounds like a really retro porn song

[mcreminisce]

yo! is there a better audio version? seems like everyone has that low signature. just asking.

[fanofprotopic]

@mcreminisce I have the original album and even though the music is awesome, the actual sound of the album isn't very good, probably due to "groove cramming"

[dreadmaniaco]

I prefer this than the 69's version. It has something special.

REALLY NICE!!! =)

[nhXCdboy]

wc and the maad circle out on a furlough

[hapzap13]

Take me higher !!!!!! The pure funk from the funkmaster. Sly stone is a straight up genius.

[kingmoL3]

this song will make anyone walking down the street look really cool hahaha!

[KrfNYC2]

@kingmoL3 Even Martha Stewart?

[monkeysoulpoet]

@KrfNYC2 Well, maybe she's related to Sly. Sylvester Stewart, Martha Stewart, Rod Stewart, Jon Stewart...

[MegaEkelly]

doesn't get any stankier than this LOL. I love it!

[ninestraycats]

probably the stankiest, most bad-ass bass-line of all time. and it's all of four notes, over and over and over and over and over again.

[fanofprotopic]

@ninestraycats I'd probably agree, but even so, the Payback's bass line is even stankier

[grandpasun]

@ninestraycats You ain't never lied man. Just two notes.. But dammit if he didn't groove the hell out of it.

[doctafonk101]

@ninestraycats YEAH, MAN!

[MsESQusiteAKA]

NICE!!!!!

[daysofwildgonewild]
