Tried to go to sleep 2 hours ago but this song was stuck in my head and i couldn't for the life of me remember what it was. i just knew i wouldn't be able to sleep until i heard it. best two hours i ever spent
As I stagger to the bar after almost peeing on myself, I grab my beer and yell, "Play Freebird!". I am then escorted out the door and then told to "go fuck yourself". Now , I truly understand why.
I can never play this song loud enough... found it by accident once, just pure chills with that guitar. I'm a huge Pink Floyd (Shine On You Crazy Diamond off the Azimuth Coordinator rare album is priceless), so it runs right through me when those notes start to sing.
Hearing this, has once again brought the sparkle needed for my jaded body to stand up and breathe again. I know Hazel was on an acid trip while playing this, but maybe it simply unlocked the possibilities of a human mind, maybe just this one time drugs were the good thing, but then again, you won't get this if you stuff a random fella with LSD. Maggot brain has, once again, rebooted my brain. It even rhymes.
I knew Eddie Hazel. In prison. No shit. We used to jam together on acoustic guitars almost nightly. He was a sweet, sweet guy. After a few weeks I built-up the courage to ask him if he would play this song. A lot of artists get prickly about that because they've already had to play it a million times over in concerts, TV, radio etc. Not Eddie. He just said ok and started playing it. I had to stop him because I didn't know the rhythm part! He taught me in about 30 seconds. Then we played. Wow!
@bbaz100 You're talking about 100.7 WMMS. It was the song that (I was not even born yet so, I'm not 100% sure) this one DJ started his slot out with. My grandpa told me. hahaha
@gruntfuckle I don't. My son plays the cell which i don't play either. . I'm the classic rock fan in the family. Fortunately, one doesn't have to play an instrument or sing to get off on either or both
i know none of you probably will. but please check out my bands cover of this song (on my channel). our band is the stone crows... although we've only been playing togethor for a few months we've been progressing rapidly
Once again! I'm a commenter here. I wish my "old" peeps got into this like I do!! I feel young and yet .. I AM not. But I enjoy my chances to come here and listen!! Thank you .. for the joy I feel when I listen (as long as you keep it up)!!!
@boomhauer15: I don't hate southern rock or Skynyrd. And I have been a Canned Heat fan since the late 60's. Sorry if I came off as a hater, I like all music.
There once was a station called WMMS .. there once was a DJ that played this every night at 1 am? In the Cleveland area ... but I'd be dead now had I known this? ;p
@ay2kgal From wikipedia "From 1976 to 1995, disc jockey Bill "B.L.F. Bash" Freeman started a tradition of playing the original full version of the song on 100.7 WMMS/Cleveland every Sunday morning at 1:30 (around "last call"). The tradition picked up in 1987 is still carried on to this day, by Mr.Classic host of "The Saturday Night Live House Party" featured on 98.5 WNCX/Cleveland at 11:50pm."
@57NOphotography Thank you! It's nice to know people actually do pay attention :) I didn't start listening to Bash till '79 .. but his show was big around here back then.
If you consider this boring go back to your southern rock then. Or maybe your coveted copy of Journey. This is Blues at it's finest.
As a side note..... Eddie was quoted as saying that when they recorded this he asked Goerge Clinton how he should play it, and George answered "play it like your momma just died".

@Omind2006 don't hate on southern rock. just because he can't tell that this song belongs up there with both of those or even higher (and i'm a LYNYRD SKYNYRD FANATIC) doesn't mean that anyone should say nothin bad bout it. he just doesn't have a soul.
Perhaps owing to the non-existant backing in the song, this song is ten minutes of unabridged boredom. What I don't understand is that Lynyrd Skynyrd (Free Bird) and Canned Heat (Fried Hockey Boogie) are capable of knocking out hits with ten minutes, yet Funkadelic - a supporting band for James Brown, no less - comes out with this. God only knows how anybody can listen to this without being bored to the extent of wishing their life away for an extended period of time.
@Launchballer Open up your brain cells and recognize greatness when you hear it. I love Lynyrd Skynyrd and Canned Heat and I' m probably old enough to be your daddy. I was alive when the music was made and first put out. Keep an open mind, I do.
@Launchballer don't you find at least the first half of it sad and sweet? how is this blander than that whitesnake ballad you last commented on? i think i recognize it from the last time i was in a hardware store.
Because there's nothing to it! Is This Love is a bit more substantial (it's not perfect either, the beat on that is at half the speed it should be) than this absolute nothingness.
@Launchballer ...in other words "is this love" is in typical rockballad format with a full compliment of schmaltzy vocals and instrumentation that smooth, sterile 80's style wash of sound. this is one guy playing guitar in a overdone style, yet earnestly pouring out his heart like he's mourning his mother, the result being an atmosphere that lends itself both to deep expression and simply being. nothing's perfect, but this track is damn beautiful and "is this love" was written for pussy & money.
@fabianstraregy this isn't even close to (what we call today) metal or hard rock. in my opinion theres no genre to sort this music ... except experimental or funkadelic or psychedelic rock. simplest solution: the bands name. ;)
these are killer riffs... blow your mind... now ive got maggots in my brain.
I originally heard Buckethead's tribute to this amazing song, and that brought me here. I'm a major BH fan and I can easily admit that the original is not only better, but the greatest solo ever.
just smoked a joint and listened to this song.... the first half: a heart wrenching, beautiful lament, and the second half: an amazing explosion of joy and emotion... when i finally opened my eyes i had forgotten i was laying in my bed, and not on top of a cloud
The best part of the song for me is at 1:13, when you hear the sharp whine of that first note. Something about the tone just compels you to keep listening.
back in the early seventies a friend of mine was sitting in his hot rod (to him, no hubcaps,beuty rings and the air cleaner cover flipped upside down) listening to his new set of Mind Blower speakers, (distortion at high volume, waaay coool! this song came on and he said " Maggot Brain!!! catch you dudes later! floored it and totalled the Hot Rod" into a n oak tree about 30 feet down the road.No harm done to the Mind blowers but bye bye Nova with green paint and giant gold flakes Good Times!
If you listen to this Masterpiece on Good Audio Equipment - it'll sound like hes Playing it Right next To you. This totally gives me Chills down the Neck when i hear that Solo <3
In 1971 we said we would sit in our rockers when we got old and listen to maggot brain on our headphones,well were here now .Thank you George Clinton love ya peace out man
Reminds me of growing up in Cleveland and this song was always on at about 12:30 AM Saturday night/Sunday morning as I was speeding home to beat curfew.
You must have grown up in the Cleveland area... I heard it for almost 20 years, every Saturday night at midnight!!! Awesome tune, used to wait for it to come on no matter where I was or what I was doing...

This is what the concept of aart should be. This song takes me to an inner peace,, a meditation. There is nothingthat captures my heart as this. I'm an 18 year old but I have so much respect for this time period and it's music.I grew up with it, even went to sleep to this song every night in the 90's as it was on every night at midnight. this was the only thing that would get me to sleep evey night as a baby. I woke up every morning to my mother's alarm clock to 80's metal, death metal and such.
@TheJordanValentine You must have grown up in the Cleveland, Oh. area... Every Saturday night at midnight MMS would play it... Can remember listening to it for a lot of years...
@ThePookie27 I know it may not be for everyone, but I'd love to eat an eighth of fungus and close my eyes to this. Talk about a possible deeply profound experience.
I wish I had more in common with the 70's other than my birthday. This song is the real bridge between generations... I miss the times I've never lived in... consciously.

@Tombstone34 , Your comment was ONE of those that make YouTube an absolutly great place to find and listen to awesome music. Yes you are absolutely right with one addition: "massage for your brain-cells" and what Eddie managed gently and effectively cajole from his Stratocaster. The relationship he had with her, so in tune with her inner harmonic beauty. This song should be the 'mantra' of instrumentals, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts & light with us,
@oldshovelhead I don't think it is a question of getting layed to this song but getting BLAZED. Those who have gotten blazed and went on a trip stand up!!
@funkfixx dude I remember when this tune came out and you'd best believe a lot of folks were getting gaaaased. Not me I was scared of drugs then and now but I did get rip roarin' drunk . I'm sure some of you younger folks are saying "damn that sounds like metal" well we just called it hard rock .

eddie hazel is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time. <3 love this guy, i talk to hendrix fans and they dont even know who he is, its sad.
In the history of mother earth the maggoliciuosness of the earternal vibrations expressed in the petritued fungi of mental afronautic soul ejaculatiion extruded from the mammillary suataining orifice, funkadelic, -expectorated a physical manifestation of funktification upon the spiritual plattitude of my diarhetic condition. I was mutated to formulate a pubesent astrologic flight within the depths of my soul. The purgative salvation congealed my being with one purpose to funknotize my azz 4ever
As I sit here earsurtbating engulfed in molteninzed funk from eons past I am regurgitating mental latitudes possessed by buger nodules infesting my exasperated pusse filled skull. Urinating warm maggot slim into the cup I willingly drink from Funkadelic has reaffirmed my faith in the existence of intergalactic funk. Brain dripping with spastic earjaculations skull funked for the vibratory sin say funs of it . Gornerretic flesh pussing forth scabs of funkyfested maggot doo doo course my veins
Man everytime I hear this song, I remember how George told Eddie to play as if his mother had pass away. When this song was being produced, It was said that George sheded some tears which really says alot about this song because Eddie played his heart out. R.I.P Eddie,,Fly on!!!

BLF Bash, (Bill Freeman) a Cleveland, Ohio, D.J. on WMMS, used to play this in the early morning week-end hours. My friend, Bob Longville and I would listen for it. Bob died several years ago, a victim of leukemia. When ever I play Maggot Brain, I remember Bob... Thanks for posting Banz.
When I was growing up in the eightys every Saturday night at midnight a radio station in Cleveland,OH WMMS would play this song. Use to smoke a joint and relax. Love it. Thanks for playing the original. Brings back so many cool memories.
@mamasam67 were doing the same every saturday night, me and my friends get blazed and listen to this song ,its something different the spiritual feelin you all get when you all chill together
@officialgrayfisher idk about the best dut def in my top 3 its pretty damn amazing i would have to hear jimi and santana's best before i said this was best. good props none the less
Maybe a badtrip could be good, well it changes with people, some people loves to get high on song like this, as me. On sympathy for the Devil too actuallly... Little wing, Heroin and The End are good.

Reminds me of growing up in Cleveland and this song was always on at about 12:30 AM Saturday night/Sunday morning as I was speeding home to beat curfew.

This is what the concept of aart should be. This song takes me to an inner peace,, a meditation. There is nothingthat captures my heart as this. I'm an 18 year old but I have so much respect for this time period and it's music.I grew up with it, even went to sleep to this song every night in the 90's as it was on every night at midnight. this was the only thing that would get me to sleep evey night as a baby. I woke up every morning to my mother's alarm clock to 80's metal, death metal and such.

@Tombstone34 , Your comment was ONE of those that make YouTube an absolutly great place to find and listen to awesome music. Yes you are absolutely right with one addition: "massage for your brain-cells" and what Eddie managed gently and effectively cajole from his Stratocaster. The relationship he had with her, so in tune with her inner harmonic beauty. This song should be the 'mantra' of instrumentals, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts & light with us,

In the history of mother earth the maggoliciuosness of the earternal vibrations expressed in the petritued fungi of mental afronautic soul ejaculatiion extruded from the mammillary suataining orifice, funkadelic, -expectorated a physical manifestation of funktification upon the spiritual plattitude of my diarhetic condition. I was mutated to formulate a pubesent astrologic flight within the depths of my soul. The purgative salvation congealed my being with one purpose to funknotize my azz 4ever

As I sit here earsurtbating engulfed in molteninzed funk from eons past I am regurgitating mental latitudes possessed by buger nodules infesting my exasperated pusse filled skull. Urinating warm maggot slim into the cup I willingly drink from Funkadelic has reaffirmed my faith in the existence of intergalactic funk. Brain dripping with spastic earjaculations skull funked for the vibratory sin say funs of it . Gornerretic flesh pussing forth scabs of funkyfested maggot doo doo course my veins

Man everytime I hear this song, I remember how George told Eddie to play as if his mother had pass away. When this song was being produced, It was said that George sheded some tears which really says alot about this song because Eddie played his heart out. R.I.P Eddie,,Fly on!!!

It really does sound as if -- according to the legend -- that he was playing like he had just been told that his mother had just died.

BLF Bash, (Bill Freeman) a Cleveland, Ohio, D.J. on WMMS, used to play this in the early morning week-end hours. My friend, Bob Longville and I would listen for it. Bob died several years ago, a victim of leukemia. When ever I play Maggot Brain, I remember Bob... Thanks for posting Banz.
