  • If you want a funky "white" band check out Red Hot Chili Peppers.

  • @Awesomeman37

    Hell yes!

  • @Awesomeman37 i like them both.

  • if you dont believe Scottish white boys cant funk out, you better get your believer fixed.

  • Saw AWB in Columbus, OH at the Scioto Mile. So-o-o-o-o-o  meaty!

  • @emptyfrenchpond  Yeah, last Friday night in Columbus they funked us all up.

  • you'd think a scottish R&B funk band would completely fail, but these guys kick ass

  • かっちょいい!

  • Just saw them 2 weeks ago and they still kick ass! I play the sax (tenor) and I sit in with a friend's band and do Cut the Cake & Pick Up the Pieces as a medley and the crowd always goes nuts for these songs! These guys still rock (funk out) after all these years!!!

  • Possibly the funkiest song ever-and from a a bunch of white guys from Scotland!

  • Tight,loose and juicy! These cats know how to blend it up. Cut "that" Cake!!!

  • I present you.... Chuck Norris on Sax! wooohooo!

  • Some drummers can make the easiest 8-beat sound groovy as hell...

  • HELL YEAH!!!!!!

  • Heeey!!!

  • Play dat FUNKY music white men!

  • No one just performs like these guys did. Now it's all about what crazy outfit you're wearing, who you beat up (or who beat you up), how much coke you can do in one night, how much money you have to spend on a stage design...

  • What brand is this bass?

  • ONE OF THE GREATEST WHITE GROUPS AROUND I STILL LISTEN TO THEY MUSIC TODAY.

  • Yes SUH!

  • 22 people miss Hamish Stuart.

  • gimme that AWB

  • THE CAKE IS NOT A LIE!!!!

  • This is the best version of Cut The Cake!!!

  • We used to say "give me little piece don't throw it on the ground".

  • Damn i love these Scotsmen!! These 'lads' unite all races and ethnicities thru their funky jazzy music!! One of my favorite bands of all time!!! Alba gu Brath!!!

  • Gotta love those tight jams no matter who ya are.

  • AWB brilliant still doing after all these years

  • are they singing about eating someone pussy....LOL

  • Easily the best band to come out of Scotland.

  • whats ringo playin the sax for

  • @argola65 Ringo play a lot of instruments...check out he's official channel!

    Well done AWB! you got the groove fellas!

  • Those 22 must be drug addled SOBs.Self haters no doubt.

  • This Scottish band is nasty funky. Real Blue eyed Soul Brothers.Loved this band from the get go.One of the greatest Funk Bands of all time.

  • 22 people are diabetic!

  • 22 people need to cut themselves a piece of cake!!

  • I'm sorry, did I hear someone say white boys have no soul?

    And to think, these cats are Scotsmen, not homies from NYC or Chi-Town! Now what ju got to say Kanye? These guys not only have soul, they have more than you or 50-Cent will ever have or know!

  • @specialone8 tell it like it is!!! no kilts or bagpipes here, these cats were like that! fuck kanye- if it were not for sampling,old songs like this and DAT machines nobody would know who he was. genius my ass!!

  • @01tnql BINGO!

    Where have all the great sounds gone?

    U-TUBE!

  • Funk, never. This can only be classified as "woah-ho! wacko cool funk" that all you parliament lovin, p-funk cool kids think is the shit. Get some daptone, or motown, or truth and soul, or meters, or eddie bo into your soul. even James Brown's 80's revival is "funkier" than this coolo "hey I want to use a pick for a bass cos I think it's cool and appropriate seeing as I'm white" bullshit.

  • @thecactuschannel

    LOL, picking is only for noses and guitars.

  • @wysiwyg248 you got it man!

  • @thecactuschannel

    The only bass player that should be allowed to use a pick is Colin Hodgkinson from Back Door, which I highly recommend you to check out.

  • @thecactuschannel  Narrow Minded twat

  • Not a white person in the crowd....

  • This white band plays funk waaaaaaaay beyond average! one of the funkiest band's ive ever heard. wicked guys..

  • Very few bands are better live than on record. AWB were the best.

  • Can't get enough of that Funky Stuff... amazing band, sax, drums love it !!!

  • funkyist scotish band

  • music of my running wild days....love love it.

  • Nice beat ! =))

  • Average White Band, Graham Central Station, Tower of Power, Prince - the best of funk. Love them all.

    Hamish Stuart was the best front man in Average White Band. Great memories.

    Larry Graham - he was the real king of funk.

  • Cut the Cake, i need a little piece, let me lick of the cream. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme that thing, Yeah !

  • Yes he is...

  • I have heard CTC more times than I care to remember, this version is up there with the best

  • im not really a fan of pickin the bass but this band pulls it of pretty well

  • I saw these guys live in Cincinnati Ohio at "Fountain Square" I stood no more than 10 feet away from them through the whole show and they played right in the pocket! Who ever said white boys ain't funky?

  • this band is a just bunch of funky ass mofos

  • Great live sound !!!!

  • sounds like he JB's without JB

  • Cut the Cake. That's up there with Custard Pie.

  • Thae band was tight and the rhythm guitar is funky as hell

  • tear the roof OFF !. How could these boys possibly have come out of dundee in the 70's ??? This stuff was deep underground in the early 70's before it became disco yet they still scored a no1. with pick up the pieces. Best thing to ever come out of scotland

  • COLOR DONT MATTER CHILDREN JUST ENJOY THE FUNKY SOUL YOU SEE BACK IN THE DAY DURING THE 70S 80S 9OS BLACKS AND WHITES PULLED TOGETHER EVEN BETTER THAN TODAY BECAUSE WE MET AND LOVED EACH OTHER REGARGLESS OF RACE HE LL WE WE WAS TO DAMN HIGH TO EVEN NOTICE WHAT COLOR SOMEONE WAS JUST PARTY AND LOVE EACH OTHER AND IT WASNT A HARD THING TO DO ---YALL SHOULD TRY IT I GAURANTEE YOU WILL LOVE IT -WE SURE THE HELL DID WISH I COULD DO IT AGAIN

  • These guys give us white folk hope. We too can be funky

  • @barneylupoo may the funk never die

  • @barneylupoo Yes you can too!! It's all in the way you perceive! I calle the Above Average White Band!

  • Soul isn't a white or black thing. It is universal.

  • @barneylupoo LOL! Yes you can!! 

  • @barneylupoo a lot of White Folks Funky...especially Michael McDonald.. that dude got pipes

  • @barneylupoo play that funky music whiiite boy. OW!

  • @barneylupoo Don't believe all the hype. True funk doesn't discriminate colour. Nor soul, break-dancing, or any other kind of perceived predominantly black activity. I'm Hispanic & I've won dance competitions more than any of the black guys in my hood :o)

  • @barneylupoo Negros aren't funky, they just smell that way.

  • @barneylupoo Wait what are you talking about, have you ever listened to the guitar on the chili peppers song "If you have to ask"

    walks away shaking his head and sighing

  • @barneylupoo BLESS YOU!!!

  • @kungfurabbit71 This song should be in the next Grand theft auto game.On the radio station,it promotes other Scottish bands,like Nazereth and Wet Wet Wet.

  • Wow... I've always wanted to see them play this live... freakin TIGHT man!!! Thanks for posting this!

    I love how the drummer holds his sticks traditional style...it looks so cool!

    But I can't believe the bass player is using a pick! He still has good tone though.

  • I love this band

  • Love AWB - You don’t need to be black to have the funk!

  • DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNN­G

  • OLD SKOOL FUNK!!!! YAY!!!!!! Guitarist AND drummer are TOO COLD and always have been. You could just sit in that FUNK!!!!

  • Damn! Look at those white boys play!!!!

  • What is the genre, funk?

  • @HondaDoraeMon yes, but their last before they began to water down their street funk sound in the face of the disco jugernaut.

  • Soul music has no color....

  • I had no idea they were scottish!!

  • quality, pure quality

  • quality, pure quality

  • I like this version better than the studio from way back when, and I never thought I'd say that. The drummer fits really well in this one because he doesn't try to do too much. Just good ol' funk-a-delphia!!

  • Oh my God thats the funky shit.

  • A top tune. Who gives a damn what colour they are.

  • The most culturally atypical band in the world...

    White funk is atypical enough. These people are Scottish!

  • If I had to choose between Pick up the Pieces and this, I think my head would explode. Both are just such epic songs. D:

  • the only white guys in the whole stadium^^

  • Brilliant! Where have you been people? 2010 and people still fighting about colour?! Get in the game and drop it !

  • That's not the Average White Band!!!

  • @deafpeax i beg to differ, been listening to them since the70's

  • @317roger Where's Steve Ferrone? Where's Hamish Stuart? Where's Malcolm "Molly" Duncan? Where's Roger Ball?

    I do see Onnie McIntyre and I think I see Alan Gorrie . . .

  • Man, those old guys can jam, my dad tells me he saw them live in 1977. Nothing average about this white band.

  • what kind of Tele is that?

  • @miamigroove , that's a semi-hollow tele custom with a humbucker in the neck position
