omfg, this thread still up, I missed a Good nt Friday!
Well.. he is a a creep - sexy, athletic and singing sweet songs to our girls. And the fucker has a voice too.
He always was visibly fake and at the same time he was sincere in that he never tried to hide wasn't a fame-hungry self-obsessed dick. He's oh so sweet and sensitive in half of the songs, but playing these songs helped a million guys get into girls pants in the last decade and a half, give him some credit.
I remember first hearing about him as a dude who could play all instruments himself and in the digital recording-obsessed late 80's kept dragging all sorts of analog equipment to the studio in order to get the sound he had in mind right - he knew sound production was crucial.
So he did get the sound right, and also knew to get a decent band. "Let Love Rule", "Mama Said", "Are You Gonna Go My Way" albums sound like a missing link between Sly and the Family and Hendrix, or what Hendrix could have sounded like if he ever had a decent drum section. There has always been a considerable amount of cheesiness (or mostly cheesiness in recent years) but standing on solid groove.
He sure owes Sly Stone a bow every morning with a "thank you for the music", but so do Chili Peppers and many others.
Bottom line is I know he wouldn't have a problem defending himself with just a guitar in front of a crowd.
