  • Chic perform Mystique then subject themselves to the Ross treatment, before finally ending the show with Good Times. This is for my friend Flavio 'Chic' Tucci to say thank you for the music. Bernard was the best bass player ever to walk the planet and his good friend Nile is the best funk rhythm guitarist to this day, not to forget a brilliant producer also. Pure Genius.

    If there's a bass player's hall of fame, Bernard Edwards should hold a prominent place there.
    The creativity and groove in his bass lines were amazing!
    Looks like Nile and Bernard must have borrowed the guys' in the house band's instruments. I've never seen Nile play a Tele or Bernard play that bass before.

      During this period, Edwards played Sadowsky basses. It is even noted on the liner notes of the record/cd. Kind of: Edwards plays Sadowsky basses, Rodgers plays whatever he likes...
      On the later gigs, Edwards used his favourite Stingray again.
      One of their greatest tracks. This record was released, when the world - except me - wasn’t ready for a “disco-revival”.

      Yeah, wasn't that strange? Back then, Nile was playing his clear Stratocaster knockoff! And who's that drumming? Pretty weak compared to Tony Thompson's thunder...

    That is a rare piece of video footage. There's plenty of interviews out there featuring Niall but that's the most I ever heard from Bernard - without question the best bass player to have ever lived. An incredible style - simple and incredibly effective, but difficult to copy - all those off beats. Followed the melody more than the drum beat.
    Anyways - here's to Bernard.

      At this time, with the come back album "Chic-Ism" (1992), their new, latest one since "Believer" (1983/84); it was no longer "disco" of course ! But because they emerged during that horrible disco era; that's where came the (unfair) reputation ... Already, "Tongue In Chic" (1982) and "Believer" ('84) were no longer "disco" as well ... call it electro-funk or whatever you want; but everyone knows it was no longer disco ! (So "Chic-Ism" from 1992 even less ... but it wasn't really a good album; and they didn't happen to regain their past fame with it ... Skyy, Kool & The Gang, and others tried as well in the early 1990s; but funk had made its time by then, it was over, for real !)

    I don't like Nile; I didn't like 'Nard ! Especially Nile; he lacks modesty; no kidding !!! (I know it has nothing to do with the fact that he is from - and was raised in - New-York; yes ...). Way too arrogant, and mocking; I wouldn't like him if I were to meet him in real life; I'm positive about it ! (I've read and watched so many interviews of him; he is like that; and it's his true nature ... not a single doubt)
