Mark Adams - Slave


a bad boy indeed, but he was on Bass...

Mark "Drac" Hicks was the guitarist, along with Danny Webster....

Mark Adams was Slave's monster Bass player....

He's not really known as a funk guitarist, but I wonder, how many of the guys listed in this thread came after Barry Gibb's guitar work on Jive Talkin'?

The Bee Gees have kewl guitar parts panned left and right like on "I Just Want To Be Your Everything" by Andy Gibb.

Also, in AWB Onnie Mclntyre used to hold the guitar parts while Hamish and Alan would either play guitar or bass.

at least until you added KC, who both came after Jive Talkin' and who didn't actually play guitar - at least all I ever saw him play is keyboard.

Speaking of KC, I just saw that Do It Good is available on iTunes. I searched for that for years to complete my KC collection and never found it because it went out of print. That's something I hope becomes more of a trend with iTunes (and other online music stores) - to have out of print albums come back and have other albums never go out of print.

Actually, I was agreeing with cranshaw62's addition of Jerome Smith who was KC's guitarist. wink

That is a very hip thing that iTunes is making out of print material available. nod

The guitar playing on KC's "Baby, I Love You" is funky as hell - shoot, those classic KC cuts all featured some cool-ass rhythm guitar.

BTW, the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughan could get funky when he wanted to. Listen to "Couldn't Stand the Weather (his brother Jimmy also plays on that cut), the collaboration he did with Stevie Wonder on "Superstition" (an MTV special back in '88, I believe) and "Wall of Denial". That's the one thing that always differentiated him from Clapton - that funky, dirty rhythm guitar playing.

I recently learned in a CHIC bio that they did a show with KC and Nile was playing a Gibson hollowbody.

Jerome was playing a Strat or a Tele and Bernard said "Man,that's the sound I've been trying to get you to play." And after that Nile switched to a Strat and Twin Reverb and that's the famous sound that Jerome inspired.

I always give Jerome respect. The man who shaped KC's sound died in a construction accident while KC has his guitar parts on backing tracks or sampled and he still makes tons of money in live shows.(The horn section are no longer "Urban") That's one of those music business stories that is very unfair.

I don't know if he was mentioned but Dennis Coffey was interesting. And the guys who played on the Gamble/Huff productios. Bobby Eli and the fellas.
