Funk metal

Funk metal (sometimes typeset differently such as funk-metal) is a subgenre of funk rock that fuses elements of heavy metal and funk. Allmusic has claimed that, "Funk metal evolved in the mid-'80s when alternative bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Fishbone began playing the hybrid with a stronger funk underpinning than metal."»http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=77:2683 Faith No More have also been described as funk metal that dabbled in rap-metal.»http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=77:2931 Rage Against the Machine's mix of funk and metal not only included rap, but also elements of punk rock.»http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/6626839/426_the_battle_of_los_angeles Living Colour have been cited by Rolling Stone as "Black-funk-metal pioneers."»http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/livingcolour/albums/album/290616/review/6209668/collideoscope
