All of a sudden it sounds familiar recognize it at the beginning of this song as well https://youtu.be/63ZIf2H9S0E

"Burn Rubber On Me" one of my all time favorite Gap Band songs!!
Thephedora
If I wrote a song and already got my payout, then 20 years later someone copied the technique? I think that's more honoring then anything.
chiefrunswithscissors
That clip doesn't contain the thing he's talking about. That was just 4 quarter notes on the snare. Hardly the same as what he did
trippingthelightfantastic
That was fun. Thank you :)
hooberdoober
The title cut out the word "mind" on my phone and I'm a little disappointed. Still cool, but the alternative would have been cooler.

Dear Imgur, more of this stuff please. Thanks.

I think he doesnt rip off but he tweaks it to his needa and makes something new
Lurkinjustlookinohlookarmrolls
Gap Band is my go-to music when I am on a housecleaning frenzy.
Geracht
This shit is why I love disco and funk so much. Sick-ass beats, killer riffs, and some absolutely CRUNCHY bass.

Dave’s not here man

I think “Love dies young” sounds like “the way you do the things you do” by UB40 had to look up lyrics to see if it was a cover.
Totallyscrewedinaustin
That "I know" in response! Although the way Grohl relates the story, disco dude seemed like he was cool with it?
nangke
Wouldn't be at the barbecue if he weren't cool with it
SomebodyElsesProblemField
Who passes up free barbecue?
GatmastaSplat
Definitely not the GAP Band

this shouldn't be totally surprising. Disco's been filtering back into rock for decades at this point.

I have a feeling a BBQ is something completely different in Beverly hills

Dave is a BBQ fan. Whatch his appearance on Hot Ones

Dave bought a bigger grill w his Nirvana money.

Cameo and The Gap Band are not Disco. They are Funk Bands.
ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
To be fair, he added some incredibly important details to that beat.
Dukeboysz
Anyone who learns drums from a decent teacher will learn disco beats no matter what style you want to learn. Disco beats a critical.
Dukeboysz
For non drummers they are usually one of the 1st examples of desyncing your hands from your feet. When you hear it, you hear it everywhere.
mjperk
Did disco "invent" this technique?
Dukeboysz
It popularized it in a very easy to digest way. Im not sure anything in traditional band is invented anymore tbh.

Even Jake Peralta got caught up in that song.
VodKanockerz
That's one of my all time favorite clips. Nine Nine!
GravyEducation
Watch the Hot Ones interview, he rates best drummers by saying you listen to them and you know it's nobody else. Ringo made the list
RideTheStimutacs
The twist at the end of that episode was great. He swindled them all.
somnif
Ringo might not be 'flashy' like Moon or Bonham were, but he was rock solid, and could build a foundation for any nonsense the band wanted.
Haemaelaeinen
Drummer is the heart beat of the band. Best ones are just perfect with their rhythm and don't need any silly tricks.
sturmhauke
I gained appreciation for Ringo by playing Beatles Rock Band. He's not as basic as he sounds at first. Plus in the interviews they all 1/
sturmhauke
talked about how the only things they could hear sometimes were the screaming fans and Ringo's drums. Without him it would have been 2/
sturmhauke
a chaotic mess.
Eridianne
BRUH I'M WATCHING THEM SIT SIX FEET APART FOR COVID WHILE DAVE MIXES SHOTS WITH HIS FINGERS HAAAAAAAAA AHAHA
hashbaz
They don't really do it for COVID anymore. Sean has said that it's a much more natural distance and they'll keep doing it regardless.
Eridianne
Ah no shit? They also used to share bottles- some things are probably just nicer when you give them a moment's consideration
Eridianne
I'm wheezing, I love this idiot man so much, fucking tears Jesus christ
Dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirepus
I was freaking out about the fingers. And then I was like, if fucking Dave Grohl poured me shots that way, fuck yeah I’d still drink them.
Eridianne
Hahaha a little Original Grohl Baptismal, beautiful
GravyEducation
The man is pure Chaotic Good
Eridianne
Okay but...one more shot
Jamesstin
he literally tricked people into donating to AIDS denial groups. one that's ran by a murderer too. fuck him
hashbaz
Everything about that screams that he was misled and has since, for nearly 20 years, done what he can to make up for it.
Jamesstin
except members of his band are still currently vocal about their aids denialism. this isn't just some random thought. they likely have
Jamesstin
be able to understand hence why you think it's some thought led astray bullshit. like God damn that is some high level naivety. 3/3
Jamesstin
HIV or aids or know someone who does and that's why they believe such an absurd thing. they're deeply invested in it in a easy you wouldnt²
hashbaz
What shitty mistake did you make 20 years ago that I can publicize so that I can hate you forever for it? I'm sure there's something.
Ambipolar
He just slides that in there, "This one album I was on, maybe you've heard of it, 6th greatest album of all time on Rolling Stone's list?"
Rips4w
Well, it was a pertinent example of the point he was making. Maximum result from minimal effort. But, there is a skill in drumming to-
Rips4w
-play a part that truly compliments a song without drawing attention away from the composition. Not a lot of drummers get that part.
blockberd
Like Lars?
Gooooodmoooorrrningmuchwow
Yes, like Lars
imakeeper
I love that "I've been ripping you off for years" "Yeah, I know."
SadToSay
That's pretty much the black musician experience
jursamaj
I mean, you're not wrong, but all artists rip each other off, regardless of race.
Keru
The difference is white musicians that get ripped off still get a shoutout and recognition for it.
PutItInNeutral
It's really true of all creative endeavors.
vonkeswick
There was a scene in Peacemaker where Vigilante broke that down, it was incredible
BunterTheMage
Damn I tried to watch that show but I couldn’t get into it
