================================================== ====

ok ok ...to make apocalyptic_raids & KingJay happy, how bout if ill turn this into a funk-Metal thread... ok here it goes


Funk Metal takes the loud guitars and riffs of heavy metal and melds them to the popping bass lines and syncopated rhythms of funk. Funk metal evolved in the mid-'80s when rock bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faith No More and Fishbone began playing the hybrid with a stronger funk underpinning than metal. The bands that followed relied more on metal than funk, though they retained the wild bass lines. Like heavy metal, the genre became a way to showcase instrumental prowess.


Happy now?!

Recommendations thread?

[HazMan]

Early FNM is a lot more funk metal then angel dust onwards, plus get more Primus into ya! I recommend Pork Soda and Antipop.

as for other groups

bad brains
mr bungle
aldo nova

all that comes to mind really, u've covered the gamut of my knowledge at least

thats what allot of people says, but ive only heard epic and their version of Black Sabath's War pigs. which is pretty cool.:thumb:


i was looking for some new funk bands that appeared n late 90's and that has more metal and punk influences in it much like that of snot and zebra head... but the old stuffs are still cool. im into updating on the new ones actually. thus that came out lately:)

[rata]

we could also discuss some funk-metal stuffs here... if you want to...


its seems kingJay havent really read my second post



does anybody here still remember snot?

[Sph]

You could try again. This thread's illegal and will be closed as soon as a mod comes along anyway.

[Cocaine]

Infectious Grooves maybe?

Yeah, recommedation thread ftw.

infectious is one hell of a band but i only got the plague by them:upset: the plague shows that robert trujillo has also some funk side of him.

i know i started this asking for recommendation:upset: why not put some of your ideas of funk-metal in here..talk about bands u know....:rolleyes:

[Sph]

Still doesn't change the fact that you're asking for recommendations. Which obviously belong in the Recommendations thread.

[sexy_mexican_man]

incubus makes you feel good. i was a non-metal boy for a while, but when i heard science, woo hoo! funk+metal=awesome!!

everyone should stop playing what ever theyre playing and play funk metal

whats with you, if theres a party youll be the pooper...im trying to turn this into discussion. if you hate funk-metal leave... if this will be closed fine, i understand that the moment you first posted... but im not gonna start again making another thread... :smoke: relax. you already reminded me of my landlady:smoke:

[Sph]

Don't get me wrong. Funk-Metal is one of my favorite genres. Faith No More were great. Hell, anything with Mike Patton were great. RHCP (while not strictly metal) are easily one of my fave bands.

I just don't like illegal threads is all. Oh well, no mods on atm.

[Werny]

The song Obscura (not the album) by Gorguts sounds pretty funk-metal to me.

Other than that I can't really offer anything to this thread.

Well I can say that the combination of funk and metal is something that isn't exploited enough! I need more!

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Jay, I think you would help more by posting a link to the thread in the Report Problems thread.

It's annoying when people just say "should be in _____" and then don't report the thread.

Well that makes it pretty unecessary to post then, doesn't it?

Why?

[repcak]

Extreme? but i don't know if they can be considered as funk-metal... i'm not 100% sure; great band imo

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Because it's been reported.

Sorry if I'm being a wanker, this has been pissing me off for ages. It's not just you.

I know. But it's not going to die now. Just have to wait for a mod now. :-\

MyMy, if your gonna brag about closing this thread, its no longer my fault. ive already said you can also discusse Funk-metal here.... ....

[Werny]

They are, but they have this experimental album called Obscura, and the title track is very spastic and funky. Just listen to this title track and I think you'll see what I mean. It's essentially death metal but the funk influence is undeniable. One of my favourite songs of all time.

i just listened to Obscura by gorguts and i love the track.. but i cant really find that funk essence in there. but i will check this band though it seems theyve got some cool tracks.... i gotta admit im hooked:thumb:

[rata]

She was in the band for like a year and never appeared on anything released, though.

[Shout it Out]

ELECTRIC BOYS They are about as funk-metal as it gets.

^one of their albums is called "Funk-O-Metal Carpet Ride." That should clue you in.

Check em out

[Phobophile]

I was watching Beavis And Butthead one time and they played a video by some funk-metal group. Robert Trujillo was in it too. Obviously isn't wasn't Metallica or Suicidal Tendencies. I don't remember the name of the band or the song. All I remember is the line "sticks and stones may break my bones but a 45 gonna blow your damn head off" Yeah...

But otherwise though the music was pretty cool

I'm not a big fan of aldo either, got one of his albums from the discount music store for $2, its pretty funky its kinda tacky though.... wonder if any of his other albums are any good cause there is potential. Didn't he used to play for Bon Jovi or David Lee Roth or someone else with big hair?

I bought Pork Soda when i was 12, took me 7 years of casual listening to even try and like it, sounded like rubbish. Now it is one of my favourite CD's. Go figure.

[JAStewart]

Primus
Mr. Bungle

Probably Infectious Grooves.

[superflyjojo]

Primus - Frizzle Fry is a good example.

[rata]

Everytime primus well be mention, calypool always comes to mind ....so sad.

[Potatoe]

living colour is a very good funkmetal band! :thumb:

[rata]

oh yeah. i forgot about them... their funkness can only be heard ocassionally though...

what was their last album called? was it a great one. ive heard this one cool track that they did like a year ago..what was that song's title?

Definitely; I was turned on to them only today and already I'm enthralled. There's a bunch of free mp3s here (http://www.electricboys.com/bonus.html). I recommend 'Freewheelin',' 'Black Betty,' 'Funk-o-Metal Carpet Ride' and 'Get Nasty.' Their singer is Conny Bloom, formerly of SilverGinger5.

I'm not sure why this genre is known as 'funk-metal' when it's far more funk than metal. Bands like Electric Boys, Extreme and Bang Tango were metal bands which utilised funk- I'd suggest looking in to all 3, especially the latter.
