Funk at its best!!!!

Hella cool! One of my faves from them and yeah, Hampton is actin' a stoned fool on this!

Sounds more like a guitarist jerking off to me. Jeff Beck once made the comment "when people clap after your solo, are they clapping because of your great performance or are they clapping that you finally stopped"!

Sounds like you've listened to Jeff with your pants down 'round your ankles!

A disapplined guitarist would recongized that Mike is simply "jerking off". No offense to Mike, but in this recording he is "jerking off".

jw1914 said:

but what would a good speller do?
let alone a decent stab at grammar?

I'm afraid that jw1914 does not have the funk.

VoicesCarry said:

No Mike Hampton is the one without the funk, he is and will always be a kid trying to fill Eddie's shoes. And yes it is true that I have never won a spelling bee, but I can recongize good guitar playing.

jw1914 said:

Yeah, but you can't recognize a Hendrix song from a non-Hendrix song. Oops! theAudience would be ashamed.

VoicesCarry said:

Hendrix may not have wrote the song but he
Made the song!!!

jw1914 said:

It's okay. I guess funkpill just don't have musical knowledge that you do.

VoicesCarry said:

We can all agree to disagree...


For me, I was diggin' the raw harmony that George & them were throwing down

in the begin'n of the tune...

Same here. Everybody who pays any kind of attention to my posts knows where I'm coming from regarding Hampton. He can play, no doubt, BUT, he's not a fave of mine. Never has been. On record or live.

VoicesCarry said:

Yes, and I'd like to see jw1914 post a video of himself playing guitar so we can all rip it to shreds after watching it.

But then, I'm sure he's light-years ahead of Mike Hampton of course, so that would never happen.

Ain't what something?


And most orgers have seen a video of you playing guitar already? A video or two? Wow, I must have missed those all-important threads about it somehow. You must have been the talk of the town.

minneapolisgenius said:

Hey Minn, you don't really believe my real name is jw1914 do you?

jw1914 said:

Jimi Wendrix...no...Jeff Weck...no...Jehova's Wit... is this Prince?

Exactly.

One of my favorite Mike clips. Young Mike kinda looks like (the rapper) Common (a bit).

And that performance was one of em'....

VoicesCarry said:

Too kind..
