George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic were always way ahead of their time!!!! And all the other R&B,Solo acts and Funk bands knew it back then and now!
Mama, you're 100% correct. That IS Eddie in the tights and codpiece! I guess I've never really seen his face before with his hair pulled back. Actually, I've never been able to get a good look at his face at all under his afro (which was the size of mine back in my 1970s teen years). Good call, my friend! Ironically the scene from Time Square shows a bunch of The Funk Mob holding guitars (and a bass)--- except Eddie!!
Mama, that skinny older dude in green tights and red cod piece is definitely not young Eddie. Eddie had a big Afro and was much better looking. Check out the scene of mister green pants hopping over the park benches. I don't think Eddie was there at all. But we do see two dudes playing guitar (one white).
@lestoil OK, I now think the guy with the white face paint is George. I thought he was too skinny & the beard wasn't thick enough, but on further review, a couple of shots do look like him (like 0:58). Explains why he's front & center, too.
But I still think Eddie is in the tights. i think he DOES have a fro, but it's slicked down & held with the headband. It's defnitely longer than it looks. I think the face gives him away. He might look old to you because of the way he's wearing his hair
The fact that I don't have a clue who the dude in white face is and that I dont see George in here at all confirms that it IS George in white face. And that is a similar (fucked up) hairstyle he had then. I just never knew George could move his neck like that!!!
@mamacornettesmoney I'm sure George is the one at the end with the white paint on his face acting like Papa Shango (damn,can't even watch a music vid without a wrestling reference LOL!) I see Fuzzy. I think the wolf is Bernie Worrell because he's messing with a little keyboard looking thing and Worell is the only keyboardist besides George.
@mamacornettesmoneyI know Fuzzy is in the white tights, but I think the wolf is Bernie Worrell because he's playing with a little keyboard thing in the video. The man with the white voodoo paint on his face doing those head bobs like Papa Shango must be George.
(Damn,can't even comment on a music vid without a wrestling reference LOL!)
@mamacornettesmoney Okay,Bernie is in jeans and pimp hat.....wait,there's all kinds of people posting comments on whose who in the vid. See,that has always been the problem with Funkadelic! Band personnel changes on damn near every album,and those damned costumes-you never know whose who. One thing's for sure though,the lone caucasian guy in the vid is Ron Bykowski....OR IS HE? lol
Damn! The only person I recognize here is Fuzzy Haskin in the white open-chest tights! Is Bernie Worrel in this--or Eddie?? I don't even see George! And other's the witch doctor dude with the white painted face that keeps getting in the camera??
@qwisp Bernie is the dude wearing blue jeans and a red pimp hat. Sometimes he's wearing a jacket, sometimes not, and at times he's carrying a melodica.
Eddie is wearing green tights with a red cod piece, a jacket with tails and a head band.
I don't think George is there unless he has the wolf mask on, and I don't think that's him, but I don't know who it is.
Awsome!!! A piece of history that should be preserved. What ever became of Ron Brykowski after his stint with the P-FUNK MOB? I think he left before Mike Hampton came on board around '74 or '75.
White guy's name is Ron Bykowski. That's what Bernie Worrell said about him in Wax Poetics: "Our Polish cohort out of Detroit. He and Eddie Hazel did a version of "Cosmic Slop" together. Ron was master of feedback, could hold it for days".
Awesome video. lame that so many can't appreciate it for what it is...very cool...so I say to the Dumb Ass that said "get off your high horse"...get off of yours ...you are an idiot... peace
Been a loyal fan since I first listened to them in high school. I am very interested as to who the white fellow is. I have heard stories of a mysterious caucasian guitar Player who was heavily robed and whose hands were painted back in order to disguise his color. Would he be this fellow?
i have a very stupid question because i just started listening to these guys. whats the difference btwn FUNKADELIC and PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC? im curious can someone please give me the answer
@TheMasterOfReality55 Their original name was Funkadelic in the early 70's; it changed to Parliament Funkadelic later in the decade. They may have changed personnel, but George Clinton is the one. They still tour. They're comin to my town soon.
The group "Parliaments" existed before "Funkadelic".The Parliaments was a Doo Wop group headed by George Clinton.The "Funkadelics" were a Funk based group.At some point he merged the groups together.
@DezoWilliams I'm more familiar with other P-Funk guitarists, such as Michael Hampton and Eddie Hazel. That's probably why I felt Ron was so out of place.
Say it all the time ''love[appreciate] these artist while their here in your lifetime.It something special or rather, meaningful to be on the same planet at the same time that George Clinton is on. He's just a man but ''this'' is a gift.
What you see in this video, unselfconscious joy of freedom of creativity and expression, those days are gone!!!!!!!!
Today every striving musician is in the pay of big business, even just by having a page on Facebook or YouTube you are serving the corporate machine by increasing traffic and boosting their ad revenues!!! Show me one musician who speaks only on behalf of the people and is actually trying to change the world!!! They do not exist any more, they've all been bought up by the machine.
@gianni737 how are you supposed to change the world, broke, and unheard. The world is a mix of good and bad, and if you want to take part, you don't get to pick and choose, you take advantage of opportunity wherever you find it. The machine is us, and you can't change it from the outside.
2goo@gianni737 That's an extremely cynical point of view man. There are (at the last count 20 Billion) musicians who don't give a fuck for corporate games. Get yourself down to your local club and enjoy tunes. Success does not mean sales, it's about expression. "Today every striving musician is in the pay of big business"- bullshit. It's only idiots like you who refuse to look beyond the corporate world that think that way. I strive for excellence- get off your lazy ass and try create something.
@kieranification Not about corporate or independent or lazy or work ethic. Creativity itself has disappeared into a black hole of angst & only makes mediocre derivative comebacks. It's not the drugs it's other aspects of the Zeitgeist both inner & outer. I've heard a ton of independents & none can touch a Funkadelic, a Boston (1st album recorded in Tom Scholz's self-built studio & despite that it's the greatest sounding hard-rock record ever) a Steely Dan, a Clash or any # of great 70s acts.
@gianni737 People have been carefully NLP'd & socially engineered out of creativity on purpose. Everybody notices films & vids have many more cuts & attention spans have gotten shorter & shorter but it's much deeper & widespread than that. Neuro-Linguistic Programming, it's subtle but it works over time when its used incessantly & a whole society thinks they made the free choice to arrive nowhere. .Listen to some audios by Michael Tsarion, Alan Watt or Dennis Fetcho. They lay it down for you.
@gianni737 does john frusciante count, bcause he is a fucking legend, he is a half breed of man and god and his influencew are deep rooted i gearge clinton and frank zappa who are all epic motherr fuckers of the highest order
@gianni737 and what exactly are you doing to change that? Don't start placing this in modern perspective, it's not at all relevant. If you want public attention you simply need to contribute to said machine, and exactly how without public attention would you want to "change the world?" Stop wasting your own and others' time with irrelevant ideals. It's not the 60's anymore.
PS
Would you like to dance with me and do the cosmic slop?
I sympathasize with your sentments, but I think that you're idealizing "the good old days." The music business has always been just that -- a business. Certainly the music of the '60s and '70s was, on average, much better than the garbage of today. That doesn't mean it was free and clear of corporate influence.
The only way to destroy the influence of corporate profiteering in our culture is to destroy the economic system based upon corporate profiteering. Down with capitalism!
@gianni737 Funkadelic were signed to Warner Bros get of your high horse. The internet is exactly what is making so many bands able to travel around the world and live off of their music even though they are only playing to a 100 people per night. Sure the owners of Facebook, twitter, myspace, last.fm, youtube etc. are making tons of money, but the internet has made it so much easier for us to discover new music, which in turn is making it a lot easier for upcoming bands who don't play radiomusic
@gianni737 I challenge you to see things in the opposite way: perhaps pragmatic musicians are taking advantage of the corporate machine's Facebook and YouTube services as opportunities for free publicity. The world is big. And as for changing it, why not begin with the self? The rest is preaching at worst or teaching at best.
@gianni737 I understand the points you've made. Also consider that social media outlets are also helping to propel independence from the record company's and movie studios, so that more of the revenue generated from cd's, downloads, and film goes in the pocket of the artist. Technology has help bring the record companies to their knees! Youtube for example has helped striving artist to get noticed and signed to deals.
Help me, please. I love this video, and the music. But how could it be made in 1973. I thought Funkadelic was a style, but you say is name of group? Need more info about artists and video.
@lisa8220 Funkadelic was the band fronted by George Clinton before Parliament--some of their earlier albums are more Hendrix-style rock'n'roll than funk. The re-formed as Parliament later, then later still released some material as Parliament-Funkadelic. All under the creative genius of George Clinton. Hope that helps.
@Ekkthroi Thank you. I will go follow George Clinton. I love this video so much, that I know I am in for pure joy, and all the attendant tragedy, if he is still alive. I am Vintage myself. So thank you.
@lisa8220 NP--he's still around and tours occasionally with Parliament/Funkadelic. The shows are fantastic, really positive and silly and groovy and so much fun--he has amazing energy and great musicians. Best way to start is just get a Parliament's Greatest Hits......
@Ekkthroi -In fact it doesn't help at all-your just wrong-Parliament was way earlier than funkadelic- A doo wap group of vocalists led by Clinton all the way back in the fifties in New Jersey--the band- funkadelic was added a lot later--they endlessly played with and changed the name as they saw fit after that- Parliament- Funkadelic, Parla-funkadelic Thang, the Funkadelics, P- funk, etc.-I don't think the word Funk had even been coined when the Parliaments started out--
@ambroulard Whatever negative Nelly: she's not going to go to a record store and find Parliament doo-wop--I'm advising her on what to pick up to hear more music, nerd.
@Ekkthroi - no in fact what you were doing was displaying your ignorance by rewriting history- you might learn from that but choose not to. your problem.
@ambroulard I don't give a crap if they did barbershop at glee club--She's asking about what to listen to as she hasn't heard the band before--the albums that have parliament releases on them are later than funkadelic--I didn't say Funkadelic is their first incarnation EVER. Music geeks like you are why shows are lame now.

@kieranification Not about corporate or independent or lazy or work ethic. Creativity itself has disappeared into a black hole of angst & only makes mediocre derivative comebacks. It's not the drugs it's other aspects of the Zeitgeist both inner & outer. I've heard a ton of independents & none can touch a Funkadelic, a Boston (1st album recorded in Tom Scholz's self-built studio & despite that it's the greatest sounding hard-rock record ever) a Steely Dan, a Clash or any # of great 70s acts.

@gianni737 People have been carefully NLP'd & socially engineered out of creativity on purpose. Everybody notices films & vids have many more cuts & attention spans have gotten shorter & shorter but it's much deeper & widespread than that. Neuro-Linguistic Programming, it's subtle but it works over time when its used incessantly & a whole society thinks they made the free choice to arrive nowhere. .Listen to some audios by Michael Tsarion, Alan Watt or Dennis Fetcho. They lay it down for you.

@gianni737 and what exactly are you doing to change that? Don't start placing this in modern perspective, it's not at all relevant. If you want public attention you simply need to contribute to said machine, and exactly how without public attention would you want to "change the world?" Stop wasting your own and others' time with irrelevant ideals. It's not the 60's anymore.

Would you like to dance with me and do the cosmic slop?

I sympathasize with your sentments, but I think that you're idealizing "the good old days." The music business has always been just that -- a business. Certainly the music of the '60s and '70s was, on average, much better than the garbage of today. That doesn't mean it was free and clear of corporate influence.
The only way to destroy the influence of corporate profiteering in our culture is to destroy the economic system based upon corporate profiteering. Down with capitalism!

@gianni737 Funkadelic were signed to Warner Bros get of your high horse. The internet is exactly what is making so many bands able to travel around the world and live off of their music even though they are only playing to a 100 people per night. Sure the owners of Facebook, twitter, myspace, last.fm, youtube etc. are making tons of money, but the internet has made it so much easier for us to discover new music, which in turn is making it a lot easier for upcoming bands who don't play radiomusic

@gianni737 I challenge you to see things in the opposite way: perhaps pragmatic musicians are taking advantage of the corporate machine's Facebook and YouTube services as opportunities for free publicity. The world is big. And as for changing it, why not begin with the self? The rest is preaching at worst or teaching at best.

@gianni737 I understand the points you've made. Also consider that social media outlets are also helping to propel independence from the record company's and movie studios, so that more of the revenue generated from cd's, downloads, and film goes in the pocket of the artist. Technology has help bring the record companies to their knees! Youtube for example has helped striving artist to get noticed and signed to deals.

Help me, please. I love this video, and the music. But how could it be made in 1973. I thought Funkadelic was a style, but you say is name of group? Need more info about artists and video.
lisa8220 11 months ago
@lisa8220 Funkadelic was the band fronted by George Clinton before Parliament--some of their earlier albums are more Hendrix-style rock'n'roll than funk. The re-formed as Parliament later, then later still released some material as Parliament-Funkadelic. All under the creative genius of George Clinton. Hope that helps.

@Ekkthroi Thank you. I will go follow George Clinton. I love this video so much, that I know I am in for pure joy, and all the attendant tragedy, if he is still alive. I am Vintage myself. So thank you.

@lisa8220 NP--he's still around and tours occasionally with Parliament/Funkadelic. The shows are fantastic, really positive and silly and groovy and so much fun--he has amazing energy and great musicians. Best way to start is just get a Parliament's Greatest Hits......
Ekkthroi 11 months ago
@Ekkthroi -In fact it doesn't help at all-your just wrong-Parliament was way earlier than funkadelic- A doo wap group of vocalists led by Clinton all the way back in the fifties in New Jersey--the band- funkadelic was added a lot later--they endlessly played with and changed the name as they saw fit after that- Parliament- Funkadelic, Parla-funkadelic Thang, the Funkadelics, P- funk, etc.-I don't think the word Funk had even been coined when the Parliaments started out--

@ambroulard I don't give a crap if they did barbershop at glee club--She's asking about what to listen to as she hasn't heard the band before--the albums that have parliament releases on them are later than funkadelic--I didn't say Funkadelic is their first incarnation EVER. Music geeks like you are why shows are lame now.
