WHEN YOU IMAGINE FUNK...I MEAN PURE UNAPOLOGETIC NASTY FUNK...WHO COMES TO YOUR MIND?
OF COURSE PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC,JAMES BROWN,SLY STONE,THE OHIO PLAYERS,AND BRICK COME TO MIND BUT TO ME THOSE NAMES ARE MAINSTREAM COMPARED TO THE METERS.MANY MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE NEVER HEARD A METERS SONG BUT I BET THEY HAVE PIECES OF THIS GROUP'S MUSIC IN THE HIP HOP R&B AND ROCK FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS.THE METERS HAIL FROM NEW ORLEANS,LOUISIANA AND IT'S BAND MEMBERS ARE...
Art Neville (keyboard, vocals)
George Porter, Jr. (bass, vocals)
Russell Batiste, Jr. (drums)
Brian Stoltz (guitar)
THEY NEVER HAD A MAINSTREAM HIT BUT THEY ARE ADMIRED FAR AND WIDE BY GREAT MUSICIANS AND LISTENERS ALIKE.
IF YOU LISTEN TO THEIR MUSIC YOU WILL HAVE A GUESSING GAME WHILE LISTENING TO THE SAMPLES USED IN HIP HOP AND R&B SONGS AND THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE USED THEIR MUSIC IS TOO MANY TO NAME BUT WILL NEVER MATCH THEIR MUSICAL ACCLAIM.
DO THE KNOWLEDGE AND RESEARCH ON THESE REMARKABLE MUSCIANS.
