bubinga5 Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Some tracks you guys may not have heard from one of the best rythm sections ever.... these are just killer grooves.. Just love this track.. awsome bass playing from the man.. the little guitar/bass riff at 1.35 is very cool and great to play [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE5INCLqQb0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE5INCLqQb0[/url] This is just so slick... Niles guitar playing is sublime.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkGsWX4T4KQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkGsWX4T4KQ[/url] Edited July 22, 2011 by bubinga5 Quote
pietruszka Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Awesome, just awesome. The Chic rhythm section was outstanding. Nile seems to have recovered well and is back on tour with them. Dan Quote
geoffbassist Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Chic and the Funk Bros (motown house band) are my all time favorites! Love the videos, thanks for posting. Quote
setekh Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 I love Chic but these two tracks are new to me. Pure awesomeness Quote
purpleblob Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) One word to describe the combination of Bernard, Nile and Tony - "awesome". I know it's an obvious one but still it has to be done... There's some fantastic clothes being worn in this vid. Edited July 22, 2011 by purpleblob Quote

Graham56 Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 My pub covers band often plays Sugarhill Gang's "Rappers Delight", which is based around the "Good Times" bass riff. In fact we usually throw in a chorus or two of "Good Times" just to make the point. It surprises the audience as it stands out from our usual rock/blues sound. It's not that difficult to play the notes in Edwards' bass line. Nor Niles' guitar work. But to make it sound anywhere near as crisp, bouncy, danceable and just so damn groovy as they play it? That's a LOT more difficult. We come nowhere near it... Cheers Graham Quote

Blademan_98 Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Very cool I think that they just epitomise the meaning of groove! Quote
lowdown Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 I swear Nile Rodgers had an active battery operated right hand - it was relentless. Top band. Garry Quote
