Funky Peppers

I don’t particularly care for the Red Hot Chili Peppers – they’re a little too “punk-rocky” for me. But they had this one tune called “Aeroplane” they released in 1995 that is just too funky for words. I especially like the slap bass (track 9) – Michael “Flea” Balzary is one of the best bass players out there. I think I like this song because it’s almost disco – that’s right, disco – the best dance music ever! In fact, “Aeroplane” is a direct ripoff of “Get Down, Tonight” by KC and the Sunshine Band back in the 70’s.
I found this sequence on MidiZone and it took very little tweaking from me to make it stageworthy. If you’re playing dance clubs, this one’s for you.
