Bootsy
Collins
The baddest mother funker on
the planet is back to blast a few
more holes in the fabric of the uni-
verse with his supercharged hydro-
glide turbo-ride space bass.
William "Bootsy Collins, former
bassist for the James Brown band
and Parliament-Funkadelic, is
funkin' it up with a vast armada of
massive ampage that everybody
else can eventually rip off and use
in their rap songs. Although every-
one from Cube to Digital Under-
ground has sampled the funk to
their own ends, Bootzilla says he
holds no animosity towards those
that used his tunes because they
helped him get his ass in gear.
"What the rappers did, they
kept the funk alive," Bootsy
explains. "And it helped give us
time to realize, 'Hey, we need to
be back out there doing this.

"It smacked me
in the face and
said, 'Hey, wake up,
man. Get on back
out there, because
what you was doing
is what they're
doing. You ain't
dead yet.
Look out world, Bootzilla has
arrived and the funk is flying.
On the ultra-smooth party groove,
Bootsy's New Rubber Band has an
impeccably tuff double disc called
Blasters Of The Universe designed
to get everybody in the house
movin' their necks in unison.
Then Zillatron touches down. A
fuzzy, buzzing sub-woofer implo-
sion announces the landing of a
fusion from deep within the center
of the space/time continuum.
Directing his gaze into the sphere
of hard rock, Bootsy launched his
space bass into an uncharted sec
tor of the cosmos-the realm of
funky hyperspace. Forget all the
half-ass purveyors of pseudo funk
metal, Zillatron is the real.
"He's a man/machine that's
bringing the elements of funk and
heavy metal together, and togeth-
er they're going to unite one
extreme to the other," he says.
Only Bootzilla could forge the
elusive forces of funk so masterful-
ly with the pounding overdriven
sheen of metallic guitar and weird-
ed out creatures from beyond
space. An altered dimension in
music, Lord Of The Harvest
explores psychedelic realms of
sound with stellar musicianship,
tales of space aliens, cattle mutila-
tions, and proverbial questions
like, "How you gonna feel some
pain with the absence of a brain?"
Bootsy says the world today is
too crazy, everyone needs to chill
out and get down. "That's what
the music is all about," he says.
"You just let it all hang out, just
party it out, let it go. And we've
got to have something in this time
to do that with because everybody
else is talking about how bad they
are and how many guns we got
and nobody's having fun with it.
That's what we brought to the
table when we first started doing it
and it's the same ticket, let's have
fun with it. Everybody get loose,
and if you step on my shoes, it's
cool, let's just have some fun."
Stay true to the funk, Bootsy
says, and the funk will stay with
you. "If you just keep it all on the
one, all the powers of the universe
will connect with you and certainly
soon you will then connect with
the mothership connection," he
says. "I think that's what we're all
looking forward to, I certainly am."
