Lynottfan Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Larry Graham/Greg Errico when in Sly and the Family stone. Phil Lynott and Brian Downey rather special imho. Frank Farley and Johnny Spence from the Pirates Rock N Roll at it's brutal best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coilte Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Jon Hiseman and Tony Reeves. Apart from their amazing work with "Colosseum", IMO they are the best rhythm section that blues man John Mayall ever had. Here they are on Mayall's "Bare Wires" album on the track "Look In The Mirror". On the section after the brief bass solo, I often switch the channel on my hi f to isolate bass and drums, just to listen to and admire their great contribution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnLOm74SoAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JellyKnees Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 [quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1445539688' post='2892320'] These guys MUST be on the list: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0tpI4Y4W7I[/media] [/quote] +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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colgraff Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Most likely to be considered greatest in 20 years' time: Wolstenholme and Howard. 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='1445540985' post='2892326'] Best? Too subjective, but I'll lob in Francis Rocco Prestia and David Garibaldi (Tower of Power). [/quote] Yes, of course, too subjective... but even tho I think I should... I can't get Rocco.. too mechanical and cold.. oh well..!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteb Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Another vote for JPJ & Bonham but amongst those I've seen Roscoe Beck / Tom Brechtlein (Robben Ford) and Muzz Skillings / Will Calhoun (Living Colour) comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1445545253' post='2892370'] Czukay/Leibezeit - just to get the totally obscure out of the way. Don't do drugs, kids! [media]http://youtu.be/8QLL2j8ZtxE[/media] [/quote] I enjoyed hearing that again. I think I prefer Damo era Can to the earlier Malcolm Mooney, but can never be quite sure. Holgar Czukay's solo albums are well worth a listen,as I'm sure you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

fatback Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Sly and Robbie for me. But it's good to hear a mention of Czukay/Leibezeit. Snake Charmer, anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Nada Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I'm going to go against the convention that a rhythm section is just bass and drums. It can be greater when it's bass, drums and rhythm guitar. So I'd go for Duff McKagan, Steve Adler and Izzy Stradlin' - aka the three original Guns n Roses members the general public can't name. Those three had the groove! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
