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!!!
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...
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!!!
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!!
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.
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?
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
@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)
@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.
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!!
I grew up on this funk bitches ! I am a FUNKATEER !!!!!
