@curtisunit If you really understood funk (or any kind of) music you'd appreciate the tightness of what happens just before the drums come back. This whole song is UNREAL. Try again, and use fewer caps next time, pleb.
For those that appreciate more than drums, check out 2:56, that's where this band proves they're the tightest funk band to exist.
I HEARD DJ PLUMMER ROCK THIS JOINT AT JIMMY'S on 52nd ST IN MANHATTAN BACK I N THE DAY WHEN PEOPLE WHEN TO THE CLUBS BECAUSE OF THE DJ. BRING BACK DUH FUNK!!!
These guys truly are in a class all their own.........I have loved them big time since
there 1st release.......Cabbage Alley........, right? Saw them with Dr John, Sly Stone and The Gap Band before the party stuff Gaps evolved into.......Magicians Holiday GB
was an amazing record and the best show I have ever seen !
Let's celebrate them together.........not fuss.......they will love us for it !
The best funk record at all - hearable after more than 30 years. As a whitie I'm proud of my collection of meters records. So many years having seen the white stupidity about "my" soul an funk music. Now, with 58, my daughter and son trying to move and groove their asses and bodies at all about funk at it's best. Who of the crap musicans will and can ever reach this level of a real funk drumming of a Zigaboo and the tremendous bass of Paul and than the licking strutting guitar by leo...? no one!
@migakia All due respect to wild cherry ~ play that funky music , but what in the fuck do wild cherry have to do with...The Meters...omfg what a lame ass shit to comment on...seriously!!!
@migakia ...Wild Cherry ~ play that funky music...don't have a damn thing to do with the...The Meters freaking idiot what a fucking moron. get the fuck out of here!!!
@OnlySoulMusicHere hey man, what don't you keep it down a little... seems to me like noone wants to hang out with you on Christmas time and you feeling kind of sad....I'm they have a reason because you are obvisously retarded, but don't worry, you have youtube to break someone's balls and feel happy
@migakia ...First of all you still having told me what wild cherry ~ play that funky music have to do with the meters. and for your other stupid ass comment about a noone maybe you better direct that statement to yourself if you don't know what you're talking about then maybe you need to shut the fuck up. it's idiots like you that come on here just to impress the viewers. but i am not. i like people that know what they are commenting on and just have anything to say in life!!!
@OnlySoulMusicHere Would you please shut the fuck up? a guy below wrote that if we liked that, we should like other Meters songs like Cissy strut and Play that funky music. I was just correcting that dude by saying that play that funky music is a song by wild cherry. I replied that to you below. GET A FUCKING LIFE

@OnlySoulMusicHere hey man, what don't you keep it down a little... seems to me like noone wants to hang out with you on Christmas time and you feeling kind of sad....I'm sure they have a reason because you are obviously retarded, but don't worry, you have youtube to break someone's balls and feel happy
my boyfriends' drumming became some of the best in the world after hearing this album in 1975!!!....and consequently, taught him the true meaning of "FUNK!!!" Many thx 4 sharing! ;- )

The meters are the best funk band to have ever existed. Zigaboo is an absolute beast and I love him, New Orleans Funk ftw.
