FinnDave Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1445624045' post='2892971'] Yes they are! I like Damo too, but I also have a lot of time for [i]Monster Movie[/i], so there it is. Apparently YouTube won't allow any Mooney-era CAN for some reason, so here's some rare live footage from 1973 you may not have seen to be going on with. [media]http://youtu.be/V_egXM6IjPc[/media] [/quote] You're right, I'd not seen that before, quite a treat on a Friday evening. Never seen Michael (or is it Mikel?) Karoli looking so completely out of it as he does on that, either! The joys of a properly mis-spent youth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestar Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 [quote name='JellyKnees' timestamp='1445599373' post='2892689'] +1 So many great grooves from these guys down the years it's almost impossible to choose a favourite. How about Vinnie Colaiuta and Arthur Barrow? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONROSWCi2Uo[/media] [/quote] Listening to a bit of Joes Garage today I couldn't agree more. I'd also nominate Chad wackerman and Scott Thunes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestar Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1445619707' post='2892908'] Dee Murray and Nigel Olsson [/quote] Definitely. Love Nigel Olsson's drumming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBass Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Snarky Puppy anyone? As a whole band the level of rhythmic is obscene and allows the roles to switch seamlessly from instrument to instrument to allow for solos and building of the song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk0WRHV_vt8 Pino and Steve Jordan? Their performances on Continuum, Battle Studies, and with the Trio are a fantastic lesson for who a rhythm section should work! This video - sound from correct gig, added to video from wrong gig - shows their mastery at work! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjPyhksn2j0 Pino and Questlove? Chicken Grease instantly comes to mind when talking about how a rhythm section fit together, especially bass and drums, the way Pino sits behind the beat really gives this track its groove! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4XI6LXCsH8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 [quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1445619156' post='2892905'] How about Roger Glover and Ian Paice then? [/quote] Always had a soft spot for those two as I grew up listening to them. Saw a relatively recent concert on youtube and Paice still had it... and Glover was still there. I thought they were as good a rock section as there was at that time...?? and still good today. Of course, Bonham is dead but I doubt I'd say that about them now, tbh..???

paul_5 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Charles Mingus & Danny Richmond and Sting & Stewart Copeland.

lowdown Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 A long time ago, I got to see two great rhythm sections on one gig (Wembley Arena), well in reality, two great bands (David Sanborn and Al Jarreau). One band had Steve Gadd and Marcus Miller, the other had Ricky Lawson and Nathan East. Not a bad nights Rhythm section viewing and hearing. I certainly got my money's worth that night..Lol...

NickD Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Steve Harris & Nicko McBrain. Obviously it's a niche thing stylistically, but they're almost telepathic. Known for spending a great deal of time on practicing together without the band. Probably not wide ranging enough to qualify as 'best ever'but they do their thing wonderfully.

Old Man Riva Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 [quote name='fatback' timestamp='1445624354' post='2892976']Snake Charmer, anyone?[/quote] With Jah Wobble and The Edge? I'd put the Snake Charmer EP down as a lost classic. Lent it to someone just after it came out in the 80s and never got it back - don't think it was ever released on CD so now I'm stuffed. Featured The Edge doing something different/interesting on guitar, away from what he was doing with U2 at the time. If Bowie rhythm sections are being mentioned (and rightly so) it'd be criminal not to include the Spiders' Trevor Bolder and Woody Woodmansey. So much to choose from but, for me, the Aladdin Sane album is the one. Funk, soul, rock 'n' roll... Here's a taster..

chris_b Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 There are too many great rhythm sections to list but some of my favourites are: Chuck Rainy and Bernard Purdy John McVie and Mick Fleetwood David Hood and Roger Hawkins Duck Dunn and Al Jackson Jr Kenny Gradney and Richie Hayward And a couple of 3 piece rhythm sections - Bootsy Collins, Clyde Stubblefield and Jabbo Starks And Nick Daniels, Tony Hall and Nikki Glaspie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] +1 And as mentioned above, a +1 for Trevor Bolder & Woody Woodmansey. I'm sure there's others I could/should be thinking of, but there's been so many good suggestions already.. Got to say that Omar Hakim (another great drummer on Bowie's roster) and John Giblin were amazing playing together for Kate Bush on her 'Before The Dawn' tour last year!!
