roanmairin said: GoldenGlove said: Kiss is NOT funkmusic... it is POP. I remember reading an entire article in a guitar magazine fifteen years ago about funk techniques and "Kiss" was the feature song. The writer specialized in funk guitar and was using Kiss as an example of Princes' technique. Kiss, like When Doves Cry, were both popular but they do not fit any pop formula before or after. And if you know anything about the musical structure of a funk song Kiss is a text book example. Listen to nearly any live version when it isn't stripped down as much as the album version. Ok, but just because it had 1 element of funk doesn't make the ENTIRE SONG funky. And the fact that you had to go with the live version of *Kiss* further proves our point that it isnt funky until he does it LIVE. "But what of black women? . . . I most sincerely doubt if any other race of women could have brought its fineness up through so devilish a fire." -- W.E.B. Du Bois -- | |

TheCrucialExperience said: thedog said: You are the one who doesn't know what funk is. How in the hell can you think Head of all songs is not funk? That's nothing but pure funk! I agree that space and strange relationship are not funk, but the others you named are. Someone listed the ultra UNFUNKY let's pretend we're married. That just crazy. *Head* may have some funk elements to it, but *Head* is synth-driven, if you knew funk then you'd know funk isn't synth-driven. Most novices like you make that mistake though, that's why I asked what term of 'funk' are you speaking on. Funk can be syth driven or horn driven or guitar driven. It doesn't matter. Funk is the beat | |

The funny thing is, right underneath this so-called "expert" saying that funk is a beat, he says The JB HORN SECTION had a lot to do with the sound as well. Hmm? HORNS AREN'T DRUMS. .
As far as synth-driven songs you mentioned, WRONG. Those songs aren't synth driven as much as they are bass drum and bassline driven. The only argument I can go with u on is Flashlight as being mainly a synth-driven funk song. And to think More Bouunce was synth-driven is just retarded altogether. . No, scaratch that - INSANE LOL!

A little history on the funk background of "Kiss".
“Kiss” was part of the stylistically diverse, art-rock album Parade, which also served as the soundtrack to Prince's second film Under a Cherry Moon. And, while the album as a whole sprawls in a multitude of directions, “Kiss” is firmly rooted in the funk milieu that Prince used as a foundation to launch himself out of the anonymity of the back streets of North Minneapolis in the mid- to late '70s. And speaking of foundations, “Kiss” managed to achieve radio hit status and dance club immortality without benefit of a bass part! More on that in a minute.
Dan Daley, MIX magazine When Prince checked into the studio the next morning, he was surprised to hear his simple bluesy acoustic demo of “Kiss” transformed into an amazing funk number. Johnson: We played it for Prince, who went ballistics! He went out to the basketball court, playing it loud on the ghetto blaster. He pretty much said, “This is too good for Mazarati.” It pissed us off as we had been up all night working on it. Rivkin: The next morning Prince came in, took the tape, and put his voice and lead guitar on it. He said, “It was too good for you guys, I take it back.” He promised all kinds of stuff to us to make this thing happen, but in a way he didn’t consider anyone’s reactions. Christian: The final result of the song was not what he had expected. He loved it! He said to us, “I liked the cut you did last night. I want to use it. Of course you guys will get paid for it.” We said, “Sure!” But we were flattered that Prince would even put something that we had done on his record. We finished “Kiss” at a a.m. and we came back at about 12.30 after an hour of sleep. And when we came back it was done! It took Prince less than an hour to put the guitar and his vocals on the song. We were playing ping-pong when we heard the song over the speakers, “Hey, that’s the song we did last night!” But Prince’s voice was on it. He’s quick! Rogers: We thought the song was great. Prince said, “I’m taking that back!” But he knew that they were going to be really disappointed after they had put so much work into it. He wrestled with his conscious about taking it back. But he asked Peggy and me what we thought, and I was the one who voted in favour, “Take it back, it’s just great!” And he ended up taking it back. Rivkin: There are drums, the acoustic guitar rhythm, the piano part, and the background vocals. Prince put the lead guitar and his voice on there, and that’s it. I think the song is on about five tracks. By Per Nilsen. Thanks to David J. Magdziarz, Alan Freed, Harold Lewis, Tony Melodia, and Duane Tudahl Uptown 2004 You can learn something new everyday, hey crucial. That is if your not positive that you know everything already. The history of Kiss is real interesting you should look into it sometime. | |
