What is Hip. Tower of Power cover

[safespa1]

its a music school u goons an end of each term the teachers get up play some tunes an u can ask some questions make requests etc. the only way 2 learn is 2 study people better than urself. i think its easier 2 take in info when u watch rather than dancing round the room lol eg do u think u could read this faster sat in ur chair or while busting some shapes???? point made!

[ivanbagual]

if them are the teachers imagine the pupil they must be terrible  I just didn't like of the drummer performance or you play like david garibaldi or don't play dont kill the music

[JERBLAHBLAH]

whats wrong with these people... im a total metal head and play in a hard rock band... but when tower of power plays, just got to stop and say "UGHHHHHH SON!"

[pirrung123]

GREAT :o)

[dellu01]

turn back time and get those people to let the funk outta their souls and start dancin!!!!!!!

so ill

im dancing in front of my computer cause its so badasssss

[tama760]

Cool!!

good voice

[sorenrules]

The band did a good job. The audience is too lame to feel the funk.

[funkmunk01]

The Audience doesn't seem to be feeling the funk...

[Benm21]

the drummer is my drum teacher and he is incredible. i owe him all i can for what hes taught me

[BlackMerta]

Sounds better. Forget the Sound Garden covers.

[meisenmaedchen]

hahaha

der bläsersatz ist ehr als erbämlich!

[paulefty]

[TChalla90210]

That was a fantastic performance. 5/5 well deserved stars!

[adik533]

to the audience,

this is supposed to be HIP!

[IPLAYDRUMS1234]

this crows isn't all too livley

[maryellen728]

That's hip!

[AKAtoy]

Ahh this takes me back... My heart pounding faster and faster as I pull my trumpet closer to my mouth to play this piece with my marching-band mates from highschool right by my side in front of hundreds of people at ACC in Pennsylvania. Good ol' times.

[carlgt1]

damn good job!

[nfblackburn13]

why aren't they taking their clothes off and throwing them at you

of course they are all men and college students and teachers

so that may be a good thing

i have to play this bass part

you pull it off spectacularly bassist

AMAZING

[ProffessorMusic]

Well of course it's a hard bass part. The guy who made it IS Rocco after all.

[jazzrockfunkster2]

Great job guys cheers, but i do believe the 2 guys in the middle of the audience were passing Ecstasy pills or something.

[Slayer100]

man, why's no one dancing!! great job guys

[birddoggarton]

HEll YEA !! Damn people....knod your heads or stomp your feet or something. Everybody is just sitting there.

Great Job fellers!

[binary78]

REALLY good job! That's one hell of a song and you guys did a great job!

[TMDJ2008]

Sounds Like A Lounge Act. You Kill The Song With The Rolland Electric Piano.3 stars

[funkmyer]

slammin! these katz know what the F is up

[hejpodig]

Ur way to good to have a such a sucky audience

[aimonetony]

at 2:03 one guy in the audience started bop-ing his head (on 1 and 3.) 'killer job. that audience should be going nutz! im kind of suprised that they clapped at the end.

[thecity42]

It looks like their playing in a all mens rehab.

[rainbow7021]

LMFAO @ all mens rehab!

[HungarianMafioso]

Dude, what is up with all these people bashing these guys? They did an amazing job with this AND Black Hole Sun. And as for the people complaining about the audience: big whoop! Who cares? It's a freaking classroom, it doesn't even look like there was enough room to dance around. Gee whiz. Besides, if everyone was standing, we wouldn't even be able to see the performance and then you'd all complain about the cameraman.

[JPSaxMan]

Nice job. I got to wonder though...is the audience alive? They sure don't look it! This is a rippin' song, yet there they sit...

[hellzyea2345]

we're playin this in band, its pritty cool

[HAMTHEJAM]

Well Done!

[BATHUMAN]

this is LCCM. London centre of contemporary music. It is a very good (expensive)school.

and yes the audience are students and that is a classroom.

[JJMMWGDuPree]

I wondered if the audience were asleep, but I think maybe they're just British. Hot drummer, great keyboards, I THINK the bass player was OK but I could hardly hear him, the guitarist blew a couple of the rhythm/lead switchovers and stuggled with the lyrics a bit, and the brass... Were they really teachers? Big band players maybe, but not really up to ToP standard.

It seems a little odd to hear a teacher singing about "Smokin' only the best weed". Still, I guess it IS a music school...

[camodude51]

WOW AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD DAMN TALENTED SINGER/GUITARIST, rest of band amazing tooo, bass could have been LOUDER with more treble

[ebmmjp6]

i think this was shot in a university class,it looks like a room at the ACM or BIMM,these guys are preety HOT

[adrian480]

cool 5 stars

[gsman5828]

Nice job fellas. Not a real easy chart to keep it all together. Can't figure out the audience. Were these folks awake?

[djbeto2000]

I'm Argentinian,Musician,TOP Lover and let me all tell you this is a great cover version (TOP is not the esiest band to cover...you know) Good Job Guys !!!

[indydrt]

id be shalin my ass all over the floooor,,hahah great job guys in the band wow

[fhoward49]

First CLASS !!!! Thes guys COOK.....TOP done well..I also agree that the audience are snoozers.

[jazzpiano10]

what a bunch of squares, the audience, that is.

[glmt]

This new arrangement with only 2 pieces of brass is great! I'm a fan of Tower of Power and let me tell you that you "funkifize" very well!!!

[xuesheng2]

very good TOP "remake"

[ShatteredEarth]

THIS ROCKS!!!! I'm a metal musician and this ain't my bag but these guys rock it down!!Kick ass guys! Y'all need some itching power in the seats for those stiffs though!!

[blaisejones]

i couldn't hear the sax. other than that, cool.

[juulmon]

Brilliant... a "top" performance you might add.. and nice vocals to cover the lyrics too..

[Dougles15]

yes, that's very cool!! even the trumpet "solo" is close to original BUT you guys need a bigger horn section i think. (;

[mojodo]

i agree. more horns needed, top usually has 5 peice brass section, but these guys do a credible job with only 2 players.

[johnpizarelli89]

Oh i was there to see this, if you see this, julian burdock (guitarist), you are a legend!

[JohnnieRhodes]

Weak ! Keyboard player , don't you have an organ patch ? Rhodes and Clav don't cut it .  He hasn't a clue . Tower of Sour !

[johnpizarelli89]

Lol, that guy's worked with people like Eric Clapton, Michael McDonald and plenty of others so er...

[djphatd]

I agree!

[mojodo]

What amazes me is that there are only a couple of audience members who are in the groove-the blonde head white shirt person and the red shirt short hair/shaved head down one seat. This music automatically generates a head bob, shoulder shake in me. Are these folks immune to funk?

[rudi08090]

Super performance, very close to the original. Great!

[Funkyme4]

i want to have lessons of these guys thats for shure..

[playdrums]

Man, that was a great cover of a tough to cover song. Nice.
