    Great guitarist, and along with Glen Goins, my favorite vocalist in the 2nd generation P-Funk family.

    I can hear my mother call...

    Damn, RIP for real.

    I was lucky to see PFunk three times in the last few years, as a Kiwi this is a big thing, a lot of bands never toured down under, even the hardcore touring groups like PFunk never made it down when i was there is the 80s/90s.

    To finally see them play was so damn sweet, George and Gary rolled up to the front door a few hours before hand, both getting out of a tiny red mini (the old kind, not the wack new ones), to see Georges dreads explode out of that minute car followed by Gay was one of the more surreal moments of a very surreal night.

    Such a great musician, such a great showman.

    RIP.

    I was listening to Uncle Jam today and when one of my all-time favorite joints came on ("Field Maneuvers" - so fucking ill) I was like damn which dude is playing guitar on this one. Went to look at the guitar lineup of that album...

    Michael Hampton, Eddie Hazel, Garry Shider, Glen Goins, Blackbyrd McKnight & Bootsy Collins.

    Where's that facemelter icon again?
