I just started playing bass recently but haven't practiced in a while and just watching these bassists ie Bootsy, Geddy Lee, Jaco, Clarke, and Claypool makes me want to practice again
@@chillbro2275 Hendrix performed as a backing musician for various soul, R&B, and blues musicians, including Wilson Pickett, Slim Harpo, Sam Cooke, Ike & Tina Turner] and Jackie Wilson.
They are nylon tape wound strings, they were so that the bass would have a short "Thud" sound, aping the sound of an upright bass. Many basses also came with a piece of foam under the bridge cover, killing sustain even more.
Every time I listen to Sex Machine that was recorded with Bootsy and his brother Catfish and Jabo, that has to be the funkiest funk cut I ever heard! If you don't believe me play it now!!!
Bootsy didn't "leave" JB because of "money". From Bootsy's own mouth it was because of drugs. Specifically, Bootsy said that one night before a show he took acid (LSD) and was on stage tripping. He thought his bass had turned into a snake so he threw it down and ran off stage.
That was Bootsy's memory though. He said it himself on Mike Judge's show that it "might not be that accurate because he was very high." haha so who knows
@@guitarsANDcars39 yea Bootsy switched up his stories a lot. On the Mike Judge thing he said James fired all of the young guns (Catfish, Waddy, Bootsy) because he asked for a raise on their behalf. James sent them back to Ohio
The only inaudible part to me was his line "at that time Bootsy was ...playing bass faster than anyone else." -- I think -- and I'm a native speaker who had to replay it 3x. That lone sentence was completely unintelligible without re-listening.
When people are gifted like Jimi Hendrix, Bootsy Collins and Jaco Pastorios, you either appreciate them or get out of their way.. You can't control those people and envy always backfires too..
Me and my two brothers was influenced to Funk playing in the early 70s by the Jbs and Boosty and came very good to where a producer came to visit us to our mother to give us an audition she said no
The band with Bootsy and his Brother Catfish was good but the band that had Jimmy Nolan was TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT and more disciplined musically.Just my opinion being a professional musician who had played in a band when I was a teenager with drummer Nat Kendricks and two of the earlier horn players from James Brown band that played on the song the Mashed Potatoes.
Bootsy got fired because he was tripping off acid on stage he thought his bass had turnt into a snake so he threw it down and ran off the stage the whole band got fired. Yes they got J.B. high but he didn't know he was high. It's a funny story as told by Bootsy. Just to hear that laugh tells me that ,that's one crazy cool dude
Anyone not aware This IS the paris 71 concert on Love Power and Peace Album released a few years ago and its definitve I reckon ,that and Revoloution of the mind.
Yall say this is the concert from which Love Power Peace came but I don't remember Bootsy being given a solo or break like on this video, I have to check it out again. Then again I've heard that Love Power Peace doesn't include every performance from that concert so idk
Gotta be honest, Bootsy’s looks improved with age! Goodness! His early days were a bit rough especially when playing on a song about a driving sex machine. But his playing overshadowed that feature. And with age, WOW!!! Most folks grow old, especially in their facial features. But Bootsy has done that Benjamin Button thing! This Bro got better with age! BAM!!!👊🏾
fromthesidelines23 dancing in the street make it funky BBC. the bible of funk documentaries if u like this and u haven't seen it u will love it. Afterwards u will probably go and spontaneously start a funk band and not know why u did it. the funk gets in your bones, your soul and makes u go ONE>>>>>>>One>>>>>>>>one.............
That's not true. Fred Wesley goes back and forth in complimenting and criticizing James Brown. There is no comparison with ANYONE to James Brown. James Brown CREATED funk. The others were just talentedmusicians who he used to get his ideas out.
Yeah pretty much! Bootsy said during a particular show he had gotten more applause from the crowd than James. James noticed it & after the show was over he tried to put Bootsy down.....
James Brown knew Bootsy was bad. He didn't wanna admit it! In my opinion Bootsy took James Brown's music to a level that the Godfather himself couldn't take it. It's a shame this version of James Brown's JB's only lasted for about a year, because this by far was his best band. James Brown did Bootsy a favor by firing him, because Bootsy was able to take the "the one" theory he learned from James over to George Clinton's Parliament/Funkadelic & succeed.....
@@Charles-tt3dryou might have not heard of the james brown orchestra in late 60s!! The basic funk was there. i mean he always had great bands through years, but the James brown orchestra was the best with Clyde, Maceo, Jabo, Pee Wee, Jimmy, Bernard and others.
Bootsy upstage James Brown ??? Give me a f****** break !!! Chuck Berry , and Jackie Wilson couldn't upstage James Brown ! As a matter of fact , I'm pretty damn comfortable saying that in his prime , nobody could upstage him . If anybody begs to differ , by all means , state your case !!!
Cedric Young you took it the wrong way. He said it the wrong way. But you have to understand what he meant. He meant that James didnt want ANYONE who will even challenge his status. He wants to be the front, top, all around guy. Anyone else starting to grt more fame, in HIS band, was a threat. That probably lead to a lot of arguments etc. And remember these people lived a life AFTER concerts. If his band mates were sitting around talking about who got the "juice"...flare...talent...funk whatever. And they're talking a little bit too much about a person that's NOT james brown, then that probably had an influence as well. Complimenting Bootsy a bit too much, from James point of view at least. Basically, they saw his potential before we were able to experience it. And that normally happens with a group who's always around each other. So..YOU may not have seen anytning much. But YOU weren't with them on stage, behind scenes, traveling, in their personal lives, etc
The Wicked PICKET gave J.B a run for his money. Wilson Picket was a funky soul singer and a better singer. They both gave you your money worth. Paid to see both and dont regret it.
That's the way it was back then... James Brown was the most selfish and difficult singers to work with... Over rated and incredibly greedy, everything he touched because cursed...
Bootsy is the MAN who influenced me to become a bass player.
Damn Bootsy look like he was ready to pass out.
R.I.P. James Brown!!!🎵🎵🎵🎤🎤🎤🎧🎧🎧🙏🙏🙏💗💗💗
"He could pick up a stick and hit it on the ground, and it would be funky!" God I love that
I just started playing bass recently but haven't practiced in a while and just watching these bassists ie Bootsy, Geddy Lee, Jaco, Clarke, and Claypool makes me want to practice again
"He could pick up a stick and hit it on the ground and its gonna be funky, you know?"
New king in town!!!!!! "COUNTRYBOY"..... m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3856381577739343&id=100001026151518
Its crazy that its true, Boosty has style upon style
I got my Parliament albums and let me tell u the bands of Catfish, Bootsy, Fred Wesley smfh r ridiculous
"even chic Parisians could get it on to his fundamentalist funk" - that might be the greatest narrated line I've ever heard.
bootsy collins is jimi hendrix on bass
that's a nice way to put it.
Irakli vardoshvili jaco pastoris
Interesting analogy
So true
On acid
Bootsy, best funk bassist EVER, PERIOD !!!!
I have to agree
Baby Bootsaay!
Young Bootsy Collins Before Parliament Funkadelic Man.
Little Richard had that same upstage mentality when Jimi Hendrix was in his backing band.
Didn't know Jimi worked with Little Richard. Interesting!
Arthur lee said Jimi wasn’t really that extraordinary before “the experience” era though
@@chillbro2275 me neither wow...
@@defoperator7993 what do u think man...
@@chillbro2275 Hendrix performed as a backing musician for various soul, R&B, and blues musicians, including Wilson Pickett, Slim Harpo, Sam Cooke, Ike & Tina Turner] and Jackie Wilson.
How powerful was a young Bootsy Collins and James Brown...!!
Bobby Byrd was the band leader when we played on the same show as James Brown.
damn, i want to hear the full thing now
Mister Bootsy Collins is a true legend.
notice how bootsy's bass strings are black (like the DR Black Beauties) in this vid. i didnt even know colored strings even existed back then. amazing
yeah man they probably were nylon I played with them back in 76
They are nylon tape wound strings, they were so that the bass would have a short "Thud" sound, aping the sound of an upright bass. Many basses also came with a piece of foam under the bridge cover, killing sustain even more.
do they still make tape wound strings? RastaSaiyaman

Indeed they do.

This is kind of like that time I heard a guy flipping out over these amazing new *all-white* drum heads.
Every time I listen to Sex Machine that was recorded with Bootsy and his brother Catfish and Jabo, that has to be the funkiest funk cut I ever heard! If you don't believe me play it now!!!
William Parker You re probably but wondering who had found that bass gimmick in sex machine James Brown or Bootsy ?
Wish that band stayed 2gether longer
Bootsy look better now than he did back then, he was too funky for The James
He is a star, u can't contain that
Bootsy is a bad ass!!!
Love you Bootsy! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Boosey remind me of jim Hendricks
You can hear Bootsy’s “Stretching Out” in this!
You're right, a lil if you slow it down
They dont perform like this anymore now it's all Auto tune so sad
I hope a talented artist comes in to the music industry soon

@@barneystolemycar1684 Watch the link I posted. The funk lives on! Check out Knower.
Bootsy had that fro baby
James Brown said settle down-you know Bootsy be bringing the funk
BOOTSY!!!!
..."the raw power of funk music"...😊😊
Fred saying that says a lot
Bootsy didn't "leave" JB because of "money". From Bootsy's own mouth it was because of drugs. Specifically, Bootsy said that one night before a show he took acid (LSD) and was on stage tripping. He thought his bass had turned into a snake so he threw it down and ran off stage.
damn, I wish drugs weren't easier to get than jobs. fuckin hate drugs!
that shit was crazy I would have been laughing my ass off
yeah the acid back then was real strong too, the real thing, not the stuff you get now'days
That was Bootsy's memory though. He said it himself on Mike Judge's show that it "might not be that accurate because he was very high." haha so who knows

mind power is the baddest jam on the planet
love james brown, but there should have been subtitles for when he was interviewed. i did not understand one fucking thing he said
You have to listen carefully ! :D
Chris that's what made him The Godfather. LMAO
Chris HA!

+rdv_27 The LPP album was recorded from another night. And while that night did include a solo from Bootsy, James still edited it out.
iloveit
James Jones said he had to do it again...

Blues, Soul, Black Rock ==> #Funk !!!!!
" #bootsycollins lasted barely a year before leaving #jamesbrown ... "
It's a shame, because this was James Brown's best band!!
have u got all the live??
Bootsy was just as dynamic as James Brown? 😂😂😂
What's funny about that?
No way was he as dynamic as Brown, he was a dynamic music on bass that's it, James was the package, there will never be another James Brown, period.
Funk Gods
Bootsy IS Funk
Cool story
If j.b. tell bootsy ta settle down son, you best believe bootsy bringin da FUNK!!!!

That is so ridiculous that Fred Wesley thought Bootsy was as funky and dynamic as James Brown. Not even close.
Fred would know better than your dumb ass.
That's not true. Fred Wesley goes back and forth in complimenting and criticizing James Brown. There is no comparison with ANYONE to James Brown. James Brown CREATED funk. The others were just talentedmusicians who he used to get his ideas out.
having a musician's ear i must side with Fred
PaulDA2000 Sounds About Right!
When the word 'sex' could ban what you have. But James Brown?? And everybody's all dressed up just swingin' it!
It's not from the love,power,peace album
