Welcome Nick.
Hello! Im Aly I am a real big P-Funk fan! I’ve heard their songs like “Not Just Knee Deep” “Flashlight” and “Mothership Connection” since childhood but I actually realized the funk after listening to the P-funk Earth Tour version of Dr. Frankenstein a couple of years ago. Now I’m writing a psychology thesis about their fans. If you want to participate here is the link! It’s totally anonymous!
I look forward to enjoying P-funk with you all. Yall have GREAT taste btw
Fav songs: Bop Gun, Lets Take It To The Stage, and Mothership Connection (Starchild)
P.S. the cover art for Trombipulation doesn’t get enough love!

Welcome to the forum. I completed your survey. Enjoy…
Damned autocorrect…
Funkateers!
I’m Mike, a bass player and lifelong fan of all things funk. My P-Funk journey hit its peak on September 21, 1994, when my band opened for the one and only Bootsy Collins at Lupo’s in Providence, RI, during the Keepin’ Dah Funk Alive Tour. Bootsy even signed my bass that night—talk about a moment etched in funk history!
Music has always been my passion, and that night solidified my connection to the groove. I’m excited to join this community, share stories, and talk about the music that’s kept the funk alive in my life.
Looking forward to connecting with fellow Funkateers—because the funk is forever!

Damn what an awesome experience. Welcome to the forum @LongHairedSucker!
Thank you! Happy to be here. Been roaming the forum for awhile now.
Welcome LHS. You are at the absolute right place.
hey! my name is Jon and I am a new P-Funk fan and this is my first post here! I am 23 years old and I just adore the classic P-Funk sound and old school R&B, Soul, Jazz, Funk, Psychedelic Rock and all that good stuff! I was familiar with some of their songs in middle school like “Flash Light” and “Tear the Roof Off the Sucker” (“Maggot Brain” blew my 13 year old mind). But within the last year I have REALLY gotten into their discography. I am a huge fan of the Funkadelic stuff in particular, the Eddie Hazel stuff is just so nasty I love it. I love pretty much everything Funkadelic put out from 1969 - 1979 (Standing On the Verge and Hardcore Jollies are recent big favorites of mine) but I also love stuff like Mothership Connection, Funkentelechy, Motor-Booty Affair and Gloryhallastoopid. I am super interested in discussion about these albums, as not many people who I know in my real life love the group as much as me and I would love to learn everything I can about Funkadelic. I am also super interested in hearing / reading anything related to the Tales Of Kidd Funkadelic / Hardcore Jollies sessions, as they have been a fixation for me recently lol. So if anyone has any stuff they wanna show me or talk to me about or hell just tell me about regarding any of the stuff I have mentioned, don’t be shy! I am so happy I found a community that loves the group I love as much (and often more!) than I do and I am super appreciative to be apart of it.
Make my funk the P-Funk,
- Jon
Jollies is one my favourites. So much good Eddie stuff on there. Welcome
