I’ve done about 800 original interviews for SuicideGirls and probably a couple thousand more for other venues, so I think it's fair to say that I’ve gotten pretty good at working around people’s tertiary expressions like “oh man” and “yeah.” But when you’ve got a legend like Bootsy Collins saying "yeah mama, baby and man," it would be sacrilegious to delete it.
Collins is best known as one of the co-founders of the seminal 1970’s funk group Parliament Funkadelic, but I really got into his work...

BOOTSIE AND BUCKETHEAD DID AN ALBUM TOGETHER?!? Oh, someone please tell me what it is.
Oh. Best. Interview. Evah.

Bootsy & Buckethead (along with Bernie Worrell & Brain) were in the original Praxis lineup, 15 years ago:
It's one of my favorites. If not top 10, definitely top 20. In fact, Col. Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains got started after Bootsy didn't make it to a reunion of the first Praxis lineup. Les (who'd already been working with Bernie in the Frog Brigade, Buckethead on Monsters & Robots, and of course Brain in Primus) said he'd step in to play with the other three, and it took off from there...
Zillatron: Lord of the Harvest is basically the same lineup as on that Praxis disc -- Bootsy, Buckethead, Bernie & Brain. But it has a lot more of Bootsy & Buckethead's humor. Well worth buying.
Bootsy appears on Bucketheadland and Giant Robot. You should also pick up Funkronomicon by Axiom Funk -- basically Bill Laswell's sprawling tribute to P-Funk. Bootsy and Buckethead are both there. Great stuff.
Great interview. I just stole "
Not religious. I got my higher level of anticipation, but I wouldn't say I'm religious. I do live on another frequency." as my new tag line.
ahhhhh! hell no!!!!!!! now, it's going back original old school in here. bootsy and the funkadelic were true inspirations for a freaky black kid in the late 70's.
