This transition period lasts throughout '74 and carries over to Casablanca for UFTDS and back to Westbound for SOTV. Hazel's presence is felt on the writing end, but he plays on few of these tracks. Still, he has set the standard for fill-in, Bykowski and his eventual replacements, Hampton and Byrd. Shider also begins to assert himself, whereas earlier he concentrated on vocals and rhythm parts.
Things settle down by'75 with the twin releases: Let's Take It To The Stage and Chocolate City (Parliament). so Please tell me im not a funkless assnapkin  | |

CS was Mike HJ was Gary... right? Do you mean the album? Then no. Mike was not in band to do CS (album). That's from '72 and Mike joined in '74 (in concert) '75 (on record). In any case, "CS" (song track) has two guitar leads. The first lead has always been Garry Shider and in the case of CS (album) it is Ron Bykowski on the second lead and HJ (album) features Mike. Eddie Hazel does not play on "CS" (song) in either case. test | |

Hey Black, What Up?!
How can you question Kidd Funkadelic's soul, man?! He is one of my all-time favorite guitarists and my fav P-Funk player of them all! I love what he does to Cosmic Slop, Maggot Brain and Red Hot Mama, among many others. As far as soul in his playing, what about his solos on the long version of One Nation and (Not Just) Knee Deep? Blackbyrd is way cool, too, but I always thought he went for speed over soul a la Vernon Reid. Eddie was the originator and at his peak superior to Byrd as well. But don't get me wrong, I love all three of 'em. Just to reinforce where I am coming from guitar wise, a quick sampling of my favs include: Hendrix SRV Hampton Angus Young Billy Gibbons Jesse Johnson Prince Eric Gales Jimmy Page George Benson Ernie Isley John Fruciante Tony Iommi Buckethead and so on ... Peace, Scott If you've got funk, you've got style. | |
