Funk rock
Funk rock - a genre of funk music. Funk rock was created in California in the mid 1980's. History of the genre
Jimi Hendrix was one of the first to combine the funk elements with his psychedelic rock. One of the early examples of this work is the composition of "Little Miss Lover" (1967). His live album Band of Gypsys contained a lot of funk (especially "Power of Soul") as well as First Rays of the New Rising Sun. The most famous of them are "Freedom", "Izabella", "Straight Ahead" and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return). These songs opened the way for funk in the rock world. Other pioneers of funk-rock evolving in the 1970s in the music of Great Britain were Trapeze, The Rolling Stones (Miss You and Hot Stuff), Led Zeppelin (The Crunge) and singer David Bowie with their hit "Fame." American artists Frank Zappa and Gary Wright (My Love Is Alive), along with bands such as Graham Central Station, Rufus, Mother's Finest, Funkadelic, and Isley Brothers (The Heat Is On and 3 + 3) They experimented with funk rock. One of the most famous rock songs is Another One Bites the Dust, played by the British rock icon Queen.
In the late 1980's, funk rock artists were Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction, Fishbone, Primus, Living Color, Spin Doctors, and Prince created several funk rock songs.
In the early 1990s, many bands combined the sound of heavy metal funk guitars, resulting in 'Funk Metal'.
After 2000, the only significant representative of this style of music is the Red Hot Chili Peppers. A few songs from other bands were recorded "in the funk with rock elements", but instead of funkrock bands punk rock groups started to appear. Examples of such bands are the Arctic Monkeys and their "Fake Tales of San Francisco" and Radio 4 with their album "Eyes Wide Open."
