Mr. Webster-are you related to Danny and if so, perhaps you can set the record straight and let us know if he played any of the solo parts on "Volcano Rupture" from Slave's lp, "The Hardness Of The World". 1-28-22.
@@charlesbrazell2136 no we are not related, but grew up in the same neighborhood one street from each other on Dayton's Westside. I just listened to Volcanic Rapture, it definitely sounds like Danny on the 2nd guitar solo around 2:50 into the song. Not sure if he played the 1st solo, that could have been Mark Hicks, but I can't tell for sure.
@@Ramal4umusic Thank You Lamar; I wasn't sure about it but I think you're right-I wasn't going to mention it but I knew Steve Washington and he was the first to enlighten me, back in about 1986, to the fact that Danny could really play the guitar. I think for me, the fact that Slide established in my mind, that Drac was the main guitarist and I thought he was the only guitarist on all of the lead solos from then on-especially on Volcano Rupture. Thanks again for the info!
@@charlesbrazell2136 yes, no problem. Danny and Hicks really complemented each other very nice on their recordings too. Speaking of Steve Washington, when I first heard Why Don't You Make Up Your Mind by Aurra, I was blown away to read on the credits that the Fearless Leader S.

For some reason I like this version of StellarFungk better than the original(from the lp, The Concept[1978])-Mark Adams(bassist)was playing some nice runs, here and there, throughout that tune-him and Louis Johnson were my favorite bassists back then; they both had their own unique sound(it was the standard back then-expected of you-not like today). Also-WTF happened to our music? "They" killed the funk(don't you know who I mean by "They" people?), and as good as Danny Webster(playing lead guitar solo on this video)is(and was), I believe that it was Mark "Drac" Hicks who played the original part/guitar solo; he was my favorite guitarist back then also(anybody remember "Volcano Rupture"?)-even over Mike(Kidd Funkadelic)Hampton-and Mike Hampton was a bad 'you-know-what' on guitar back then himself. P.S.: Truth be told, I never knew if it was just Drac who played the whole time on "Volcano Rupture", or did Danny also take a solo turn on that tune; perhaps somebody "in the know" will enlighten me-and other fans of this great group from back in the day, regarding this matter. 1-28-22.
Yes indeed, these Kats through the fuck down on this piece. Well done, super funky. Danny sounds similar to P- Funk Guitarist Black Byrd McKnight. Danny love your effects on that Solo my brother. Everybody was glued. Who is the Bass Player now ? Really good Band.
BLACK ROCK A list of those artists who pioneered and/or continued to evolve the genre, starting in the 1950s, and continued this trend into the 1990s-and even beyond, I suppose(this is a 'by the way' commentary that I thought would be apropos to this section of replies and thoughts that are stated w/respect to the subject matter of the group Slave performing their classic tune, "StellarFungk"). IKE AND TINA TURNER(for I am told they made the first "rock and roll" record back in the 1950s, and have continued, along with their white counterparts, to evolve the genre in their own way, throughout the 1960s and 70s, though like all of their Black peers in the music industry, they never were accepted in the "mainstream", through being given airplay, on white rock stations. Also-they[Mr. and Mrs. Turner]were never given, at that same time, airplay on mainstream Black stations either, but their involvement with Rock music, throughout the 1960s and 70s, is well documented on both video and audio recordings).

This, for the most part, is a list of the great body of Black artists(there are others for sure, who are to be included in the above list, but due to my present lack of recall, or simply not even being aware of certain artists, I cannot remember-or state them all), most of whom were or are, known for being MAINSTREAM R&B ARTISTS who, at the same time, from the time of the late 1960s onward, along with their white counterparts, began to make inroads into, though NONE of the above, save for JIMI HENDRIX, and maybe the group known as LIVING COLOUR, were ever included into, the mainstream of the genre known as "progressive rock" or "rock music", the way most American and European white artists were, starting from the time of the mid to late 1960s, until this very day. Again, as with my other articles titled, "THE FUNK', and "AND NOW A BRIEF HISTORY OF HOW THE FUNK CAME TO BE DESTROYED", which also, was posted on this "comment" section, I hope someone will be enlightened as to the often overlooked accomplishments of Black Americans on so many levels , and in so many fields; the genre of rock music being no exception... P.S.: The powers that be at RUclips prevented me from posting this at first-and also would not allow me to center the title of this article, which is titled, Black Rock, but apparently have at the last, decided that I would be allowed to do so(which is post this article), and so, just thought you who see this would be interested in knowing this... P.S. #2: Although it has been stated as being so, I'm not so sure that the group SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE would really qualify as a "Rock" group, although they played at Woodstock(the classic rock concert of 1969); their music, I was a fan of, like so many others, but in the final analysis, I believe SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE were an excellent and trend-setting R&B group, but did not contribute substantially to the genre known as Rock music. For those of you who differ, that is your opinion; by the same token I have merely stated mine. 2-(9, 10, 12 and 16)-22.
I hope someone appreciates this-this is something( the first two paragraphs)I just considered-and wrote my thoughts about it down(I didn't intend on writing or typing the rest, but I went with the flow, and now I'm going to give it to you the public, because it is of such importance to me. The first 'dissertation' if you will, is titled "The Funk". THE FUNK Of the Funk--like the gospel of Jesus Christ(the Messiah), you must be 'born again'(converted to the faith)and 'baptized' into it, without which you'll always be on the outside looking in-and never get this thing(Note: I mean no disrespect to the true followers of Jesus Christ; I myself have been a follower for many a year now[though I no longer call myself a Christian]). Rick James once said of the Funk, "we understand it"; I understood what he meant, having been converted myself. He was talking about-and to-us(Black America), back in in 1978, where we had fallen in love with, and began to embrace this music called funk. Starleana Young of the group Slave, once said, back in 1979, that 'the Funk will never die'. Her words have since been proven to be prophetic. And though the movement is not what it used to be(the same can be said to be true of all music I suppose), you will always have your 'sold out to the end devotees', who were there from it's inception, back in the 1970s. I am one such, but I have also since embraced another form of Black music we created, and that is called jazz. AND NOW A BRIEF HISTORY OF HOW THE FUNK CAME TO BE DESTROYED... We also created rock and roll music, back in the 1950s, but the whites appropriated that too, from us, and come the 1960s they called that appropriated music Rock. But-their music is DEAD now, because when they killed off our music back in the late 70s, and put in it's place Disco and Rap Music( I liked some disco, but most of it I didn't care for-and it was, if you remember, on OVERKILL-meaning they played it all the time, with less of the creative music being heard anymore, like it used to be-and how can Rap be music?), they set in motion that which eventually led to the destruction of their own music, for you see, whites can never come up with anything original without having some precedent in that which was first created by Blacks(this is an HISTORICAL FACT). But because of our separation from the will of the Most High God, we have caused these evils to come upon us. And now, 40 years later, we have lost our music, but the whites are trying to sound like us now(Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera, Ariana Grande, etc. etc.), because they have STUDIED us for so long-and they taught this to their children-for decades now-now it appears the tables have turned musically speaking, but they can never really bring it like we do; never have and never will. And now the whites also have lost their "power" of music, to inspire; their creativity is gone-why? Because they took it from us first, when they "killed off" our music, and like I said, they can never go too far on their own(without their being inspired by us in some fashion)before they sooner or later, fall on their "asses". It's just the way they are(by nature and historically this is true). And now we find, when we see the good-ol' groups like Slave, still "bringin' it" after all these years, it shows that there is a VOID that was implemented when they killed off our music back in the 70s-which left us hungry and depleted for the creative and inspirational music that I and many of you who can relate to this which I am stating, grew up with and had as part of our daily world; it was all on the RADIO and there were RECORD STORES(remember those?)you could, after hearing your favorite jam(s), go get these songs from. It's all over now, because the whites that have had the rule over us since slavery, have brought these evils to pass. We as a people, are to blame also(though many of you don't want to hear this)for "falling away" from the moral standards of the former generations. And I believe these things have, over time, brought about so many evils that plague our communities; and so all we have now are the memories(and an occasional throwback when we see performances like this one from one of my favorite groups of all time-Slave)-of the way it used to be. P.S.: For the record I also believe they destroyed the Funk because like other forms of Black music-it was the one form of music we finally came up with that they couldn't control-by assimilating themselves into and becoming the 'heads' of it, like they did with all other forms of Black music(save for the Soul music movement of the 1960's; why they never destroyed or co-opted that music, is still, to this day, beyond my ability to fathom or comprehend). And if you didn't know it, Dayton is where Slave and so many other wonderful and inspirational Funk groups came from, back in the 1970s( I also liked Sun and Faze-O and the Ohio Players-can't forget about Lakeside and Heatwave and Roger and Zapp, also). And so I say God bless DAYTON, OHIO, for what it gave to the world; comparatively speaking, it is one of smallest cities to be found on the map-but at the same time it produced a continual reign, dominance and pre-eminence among ALL OF THE LEADING Funk groups of the day-like NO OTHER CITY ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH at that time(this is also an HISTORICAL fact)! Charles Alan Brazell, 1-31-22 and 2-1-22. Amended 12-2-22.
Last I knew of, he was residing in East Orange, N.J.-it's where he's from. Whether you knew it or not he was the ONLY member to not be from Dayton, but by virtue of his being related to Pee Wee of the Ohio Players he was able to, along with Mark "Drac" Hicks, start the group-and did just that. 1-31-22.
Come on bro. It's the original band with just some different membership. But Danny, Floyd and Cedell are original. Be real, they've been performing since the mid 70s, of course memberships change over a 40 plus year existence for many reasons and death being one of them as in RIP Mark Adams and Mark Hicks, others as in Steve Arrington went solo in 1983, and even he wasn't original. But bands go on if it's what they love and wanna keep making a living. Success is not always in recording after 45 years.

THE FUNK
Of the Funk--like the gospel of Jesus Christ(the Messiah), you must be 'born again'(converted to the faith)and 'baptized' into it, without which you'll always be on the outside looking in-and never get this thing(Note: I mean no disrespect to the true followers of Jesus Christ; I myself have been a follower for many a year now[though I no longer call myself a Christian]).

Be real, they've been performing since the mid 70s, of course memberships change over a 40 plus year existence for many reasons and death being one of them as in RIP Mark Adams and Mark Hicks, others as in Steve Arrington went solo in 1983, and even he wasn't original. But bands go on if it's what they love and wanna keep making a living. Success is not always in recording after 45 years.
