We were never the cool band to like. They tried to put us into a hair-metal thing, but we weren't really Warrant or Poison. We were always outside the box. I think we had a little niche that nobody had - maybe the funkiness had something to do with it.
'Supafunkrock' is a musical gumbo. We throw all those musical influences into the pot and put it out there.
I may be taking a different approach, being a guy leading a band with a trombone, but if you take that out of it and put in a guitar or keyboard, it would be considered funk-rock music.
There's a very thin line between rock and funk. Funk is like a dirtier blues, and so is rock. They're close cousins.
I'm a big Red Hot Chili Peppers fan.
I listened to all the Misfits albums growing up and Red Hot Chili Peppers, too.
I'm a huge Glenn Hughes fan.
Being jazz-trained, things happen spontaneously. Even though it's funk rock, we still have the instincts of a jazz musician.
I love funk! That's the music I grew up on.
I love funk and soul and Motown.
I had a band called Infectious Grooves back in the Nineties. That music was really a mixture of styles, and we had some stuff that was punk rock, ska, but then we had a lot of funk in there.
I like a lot of old-school R&B, soul, and classic rock.
I love what Alabama Shakes is doing - it's kind of like what grunge did to rock 'n' roll, they're doing to R&B.
My favorite bands are the Allman Brothers and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
'Dance to the Music' was just Sly Stone being his natural crazy self right from the beginning. The man was an original and his first AM hit was nothing if it wasn't the example per excellence of the Sly Stone music machine.
