| | | | Need to wane my Chilis addiction!!
Sign in to disble this ad
Hey all,
I'm a huge Chili Peppers fan. Flea is a god to me. I have all their albums and I pretty much listen to them exclusively. Like, throughout the day, 75% of what I listen to will be the chilis. I need some other good bands to listen to so I can get some other influences! I can't seem to find anything I really connect with as much as I do with the chilis.
My question is, if I like the chilis, what other bands and bass players will I like? I need to expand! If I don't start getting some other influences, I'm going to be nothing but a Flea clone.
Thanks for any input.
PS Please don't recommend the arctic monkeys

| | | | I guess I'm looking for other funk ROCK bands. Sleazy, dirty basslines are a plus too. I listen to some good funk like George Clinton, Sly & Stone, and Average White Band but they just don't pack enough oomph for me.
Yes, rage is really good. But something is missing with them. |

Get all rage albums, Tim Commerford is the hard playing bassist you need judging by your sly stone, Clinton comment. Audioslave lack what Rage has in my opinion. If you want to explore outside funk go buy a copy of "train of thought" by Dream Theater. Great melodic metal band. And you can't go past Zeppelin. |

Aerosmith- "Toys in the Attic" and "Rocks"
Rolling Stones- "Made in the Shade" (early 70's compilation)
Jimi Hendrix- "Are You Experienced" and "Electric Ladyland"
