it's Terry Bozzio on drums and T M Stevens on Bass! they are double tight but it flows. when they smassh the polyrhythms together as they leave sections and behind the solo. stil gives me a buzz and i've been listening to it over 15 yrs. not constantly obviously!

Here's one! A bit different and quite heavy. Not a funky groove but a groove nevertheless. in terms of drums and bass playing everything together this is a fine example. they hit nearly everything and there is loads of poly rhythms. However tunes is very cheesy rock. So apologies on that level. but the drummer is my favourite. i would rip my pink torpedo off to jam with him! is that a bit extreme! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWCemMy6gpw

Me too geezer! However the main thing that hooks me on a groove is how filthy it is. The filthier the better!

I kind of get wound up about the "Groove" thing. Nowadays i think its just a by-word for funky. Anything can have groove without it being funky. Even sections of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring have good grooves. i think through naivety (tho this doesn't obviously apply to everyone) mid tempo funk/jazz gets described as having a good groove. Though good groove can be at any tempo or genre for example Kashmir by Zep has a fat groove even tho its straighter than straight. Also some really quick stuff like The One or Outta love by Van Halen has a great groove. i ain't just a bitter rocker cos i love funk, jazz and fusion but thats just so obvious to mention. However my example is a James Brown track at a high tempo. Can't get enough of it at the moment and it as a bad donkey groove! It's Let me looose i'm Dr. Feelgood. unfortunately i can't upload my copy so i've included a youtube link. but it has a picture of semi naked men for some reason, tho its the original track jimmy b

How do! Just joined up. Read about it on youtube! Thought it sounded interesting! I've played bass for 16-17yrs. Incessantly for about 12 then last couple of years not touched it much due to gigs drumming or singer. However, recently got a bass gig sessioning for theatre company and joined a covers band, so i'm back to spanking the old plank. My powers have waned a little but i shall practice to return to former glories. Ain't that interested in gear, got a yamaha 5 string and a Jackson 4 string and play with an old 80's marshall thru 90's Peaveys two tens and a 15. No effects. Thats as far as my interest goes but will be purchasing a fretless at some point. Studied jazz and contemporary classical music, but i'm a rocker at heart. I am quite opionated as far as music is concerned and will say what i think. Come on here to chat about musicology and ideology behind bass playing. Cheers looking forward to this forum.
