California Dreamin' - Eddie Hazel

[Wardog11111]

sexy

[mrkjsmooth16]

The reprise to this song is the funkiest shit I ever heard

[RBP901]

Eddie Hazel >>

[toyboat93]

does anyone have the bass tab?

[vsmcax1007]

wow! This seemingly "uncut" version is so much more inspiring and also revealing from the artist's standpoint! I first heard this off of the "What it is!" funk box set a few years back. This obviously is the source cut...thx for posting.

[tonyfalca]

still hooked on his other solo, maggot brain

[Marcus538]

tooooo goood ,

[thegeneral801]

what kind of phaser pedal did he use on this album?

[chiknfulio]

@thegeneral801 For this cut Eddie is using a Les Paul with a small stone. That was his phaser of choice. He went back and fourth between that and the MXR phase 90

[chiknfulio]

@thegeneral801 Not to mention the Roland Space Echo for the crazy delay parts

[eizetjuh]

If you'd remove the guitar it would sound like porn music...

[Funkdogg]

@geezusize john is a fan of eddie and funkadelic

[ttthomasde]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm eddie hazel

[Lylodile]

Soooooooooooo beautiful

[AKix32296]

really good!

[smilesdavis1]

Is anyone listening to the bassline? It's tight as fuck.

[soulpeanuts888]

@smilesdavis1

YEAH!!

William “Bootsy” Collins kills me,you,and everyone ever listening this bomb. 

[MsLeo31]

The best version of California Dreaming period. So soulful and bluesy. Eddie also has a nice voice.

[TheCoverHeaven]

Great cover!

[7h3tSLDR02]

@TheCoverHeaven who is the original artist?

[TheCoverHeaven]

@7h3tSLDR02 "California Dreamin'" is a popular song by The Mamas & the Papas, first released in 1965.

[expandwhatyousee]

This guy is awesome! guitar is about expression... not a who's dick is bigger!

[expandwhatyousee]

This guy is awesome!

[gbrown4x4]

@bigmetalbeastsmith....U r EXACTLY right. Why don't they just listen and appreciate and comment, but everyone seems to want to be the expert on judging who's better or whatever.....

[bigmetalbeatsmith]

any of you

[bigmetalbeatsmith]

its amazing how people come here and say how much they love music and yet they try to categorize and compare artists. why do you any of think they played. they played because they wanted to speak with their souls. and that is incomparable

[MrFunkyPresident]

Oh,  and Eddie is second.

[razz4ill]

IN MY OPINION (SNOOFUS CARTER) EDDIE SMEERO HAZEL, IF NOT GREAT-

EST GUITARIST, IN THE TOP 5 TAKE YOUR TIME FELLAS, PLAY ON BROTHER

PRAY FOR HIS SOUL

[MatthiasSomers]

:)

[007dredger]

Eddie Hazel not Eddie Van Halen is the greatest, period!!!

[MikeLamb24]

Eddie Hazel is damn good, but he is no Herman LI by any means. Herman Li is the greatest guitarist of all time

[The8starr]

@MikeLamb24 gotta be a joke lol

[emilyc453]

@MikeLamb24 are you saying that purely to piss people off?

[MikeLamb24]

@emilyc453 No just stating the facts girl

[MattGuitLead]

@MikeLamb24 There's a lot of guitarists playing faster but with no emotion dude So if herman is a better guitarist he's not a musician at all

[MrFunkyPresident]

@MikeLamb24 Ever heard of a guy named Jimi?

[SuperGForce01]

@MikeLamb24 If I was into drugs i'd want whatever you're obviously taking!!!

[AngerPatrol]

@geezusize You mean John Frusciante sounds a bit like him :P

[KiddiHasu]

@AngerPatrol no he doesnt lol

[Fdirie]

@AngerPatrol

perfect answer. lol

[shreefshika79]

This s super like !

[RazorHeadMetal]

You know the 3 people who thumbs down this video must have done it by mistake, cause its really impossible to dislike a song like this.

[unvector]

@RazorHeadMetal in fact they only want to provoke other to write these all funny comments.

[howlinwolf1759]

I believe that Eddie Hazel is the greatest guitarist that I never heard of, until now! I am now a huge fan. This is the best version of California Dreamin that I have heard. Even better than the original, different but better.

[Funkdogg]

@howlinwolf1759 i believe eddie hazel is the greatest guitarist period! ok after jimi

[oxfuzz]

my fav. this is the juice.

[oclero]

this is Hazel's All Along The Watchtower

[Funkdogg]

@oclero i always said that eddie hazel is the closest thing to jimi hendrix. so i agree

[bawhite125]

Good good stuff. Guitar thangs.

[Humbag]

im playijg this at my fneraal tommrow

[06shinoaburame]

i was directed to this by a guy who hates John Petrucci and says this is real music and John Petrucci isnt... you cant compare Rock/Metal with anything other than Rock/Metal he is amzing at what he does and John Petrucci is amazing at what he does thumbs up if you agree

[1029bjm]

Eddie Hazel is a master! Check out Cosmic Slop live. Dueling guitars with Hazel and Hampton

[PolarSkua]

I love his lush and sexy vocals.

[cipo33]

Eddie hazel, one of the best guitar player in the world.

So groovy. I miss him.

Such a sunny stuff listenning to this song LOVE IT.

Funkadelic without Eddie is not funkadelic no more.

[robbieardura]

Listening to this is pure fucking bliss!!!

[Huntman1394]

Does anyone have Rest in P by Eddie Hazel?

[jody808]

his only solo album, hard to believe

[DizzMcFunk]

dreamin of Tahoe

[infowazz]

yeah, i bought 10 of his songs right off the bat and jam out all the time. he was so underrated.

[comnetllc]

Hazel - made this hit straight from his release at Lompoc Prison in Cali.. Obviously if he had not been on LSD and 30k feet in the air, perhaps he would have not bit mistaken the flight attendant as a Marcian and bit her, he would have not served the time.

[funkedbyinjection]

@comnetllc It was Angel Dust.

[skizmsucks23]

what album is this from

[AngerPatrol]

@skizmsucks23 Games, Dames, & Guitar Thangs

[cde59]

@AngerPatrol Do you have the reprise of this?

[XULUPROPHET]

THX FOR PUTTING THIS UP. THIS SONG HAS GOTTEN MY THRU SOME LONG WINTER NIGHTS ALONE.

[drago884]

fuckin eddie hazel...thumbs up

[shamario804]

Check this funky sound out. This is for the old school peers who know when music was music, if you like give a thumb up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iiiSean]

I would kill FOR SOME TABS to this!!!!!! If someone makes a cover of this version I would shit myself so far no one on youtube has attempted

[nyis2cold]

my favorite song on this album is so goes the story. Any chance that you could post that one?

[AngerPatrol]

@nyis2cold I tried to, but it wouldn't verify. :/

[nyis2cold]

@AngerPatrol Thanks anyway for trying. You've got some of the best posts on Youtube. Peace

[nostro1001]

Simply brilliance!!!

And for another very good cover check out Baby Huey's instrumental version; totally different laid back groove.

...Weird, I don't really even like the original.

[ozzyserbia]

@nyis2cold

I uploaded it,check it

[nyis2cold]

This is 100 times better than the original. One way to know that you are talented is that you can remake a classic and people forget the original. fly on Eddie... fly on.

[nyis2cold]

This is 100 times better than the original. One way to know that you are talented is that you can remake a classic and people forget the original. fly on Eddie... fly on.

[dostfez]

Ahhhhh...go on Eddie...yaaaaaa

[ripmeast21]

this si gonna sound silly, but it wasn't until after I played the video for at least the 5th time that I noticed it's just a blank screen. that's how good this song is, I fucking forgot that there was no video.

[AngerPatrol]

@ripmeast21 Haha, I think when you're listening to music, visual stimuli is only a distraction. It's an amazing song, I'm glad you like it!

[Salvamea1178]

@AngerPatrol I try too find this as a torrent .. cant find any valid ones with some good seeds .. any way you can send me a DL link ? .. Mp3. files :P would be great

[lockstock85]

@Salvamea1178 buy the lp its $20

[FromUR2UB]

@AngerPatrol - Not trying to be confrontational...just curious, if you find visual stimuli distracting, do you get enjoyment from attending live performances?

[AngerPatrol]

@FromUR2UB lol, that was just my excuse for not putting an image on the video.

[oranjeland]

@ripmeast21 Yeahh! Eddy takes you away to a different time in space right away! I had the same thing for a minute. It's better without video. Space out in your imagination like Eddy must have been doing recording this masterpiece.

[Confucious2009]

@ripmeast21 haha know whatcha mean.. :) have a great day..

[statusddd]

eddie playing like crazy with the brides of funkenstein and mudbone cooper singing backup also billy's thumping that bass,bernie's keys are mesmerizing.

[FlashFace]

Stunning.

[tubularniggaz]

most underated guitarist in music history rip eddie

[rocknrollhoochiekoo1]

On the first Funkadelic album, the song, "What is Soul"; Eddie Hazel IS SOUL %100

[Matty73]

one of, if not the, best covers of all time,

so fucking good it hurts.

listened to it hundreds of times and it still gives me goose bumps.

[TheDfunkadelic]

all those that know we cool,but you who have no clue you better recognize the flow of the parliafunkadelic thang,this shit we be funkin in 2050 ya heard

[oranjeland]

@TheDfunkadelic Yeahhh and far beon 2050. We'll be funkin for 1 thousend years at least!

[jessejdubb3rd]

the one givin this a thumbs down take that thumb up yo az

[joshua626]

When I first heard this I was like man this is so right, this album was "cut out" it didnt sell alot and to the average fan they never knew this existed however just goes to show you another P-funk gem. Go E.Hazel!!!!!!!!!!

[marvinalstonjr]

If eddie hazel would have not got sick he would have replaced jimi hendrix in the band of gypies when they were going to reform.

[BMo2xl]

Who's the person with the broken finger who gave this thumbs down?

[BMo2xl]

Whose the person with the broken finger who gave this a thumbs down?

[AngerPatrol]

@BMo2xl There are people out there with no taste. It's a shame, but it's true

[Bonapart1808]

@AngerPatrol : agree, this version is poor !

[maidoodesu]

nice ! ですね.

[kusabano]

Anyone has tabs for this?

[AngerPatrol]

@kusabano I've been unable to find any.

[bawhite125]

@AngerPatrol Eddie Hazel cannot be tabbed :)

[AngerPatrol]

@bawhite125 Haha, I guess not.

[plentyone]

I swear, this was just a good all around cut. Enough said...

[tabulaerasae82]

A clear cut case of when a song is taken from amazing to pure greatness!!  rip

[shimr0b]

"Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs"

[ericskills06]

everyone go check out my channel, i do a CALIFORNIA DREAMING COVER really awesome!!!

please subscribe i need some and its not hard ;P

[ProperSlim]

blow some weed.. and listen to this song in the morning.. around 6 or 7am..."like, right b4 the sun peaks its head above the clouds"... And you will feel the full essence of this song.

[brunolliva12]

@ProperSlim Do you smoke weed at that time? :P

Dude you're on fire! hahaha.. But I get the message.. such a nice work this song!

[TheDfunkadelic]

@ProperSlim - you god damn right properslim

[nubiansista4life]

Why, oh why did you not showcase Eddie's talents more, George Clinton? There are many rockers who have terrible drug addictions and still have active careers in the music industry. Was Eddie's talent stifled by jealous forces or just uncaring individuals? Will we ever know? Someone please do an autobiography on Eddie Hazel's life? Maybe the show Unsong on BET or PBS?

[AngerPatrol]

@nubiansista4life Definitely an under-utilized/appreciated guitarist. He only gets to "really" play a few times.

[SaypheZonE]

@AngerPatrol he would have been the successor to Hendrix had he done his own thing for a long time.

[fenderjones]

@AngerPatrol Eddie was showcased most of the time till he went solo I'll Stay I'll Bet You Maggot Brain You and Your Folks Cosmic Slop Red Hot Mama Free Your Mind I Wanna Know If It's Good To Ya....imagine being Mike Hampton and have 2 follow that lol

[AngerPatrol]

@fenderjones Well, you can't replace him. Even if you get a guitarist that's technically as good as Hazel, his style is most of what makes him so great. It would be like someone replacing Tom Morello. Only Morello isn't as good.

[vlaurenz]

@nubiansista4life I'm pretty sure it's because he bit a flight attended. But fuckin a, he would have topped hendrix for sure.

[sentonjohn]

rip eddie

[podfunaug30]

guitar god, who hides in the shadows of heaven

[rubenfunk]

omg

[Waredification]

thXXXX D very good track eddie always on our hearth

[nubiansista4life]

Thank you AngerPatrol for posting this lovely song. Had no idea Eddie Hazel could sing. King Funkadelic may be gone, but thanks to you and others he will never be forgotten. Sleep on my sweet prince!!!!!

[sublime8992]

hidden gem

[RadioMasterDude]

This song feeds my soul :)

[angryredcom]

Bootsy and Eddie, urgh, my ears hurt from all the hard funking ive recieved. PFUNK TO THE SLOPPY COSMIC CORE

[mustang1834]

Respond to this video... ima funk to my ears fall off , rip eddie hazel, while we keep your music alivve

[criarumacontaexato]

i have no words for this its so awesome!!

[YBHJLH]

BOOTSY on BASS!!!

[k4wra]

FUCKING MASTERPIECE!!!!

[retroguy02]

this is one of the best guitarists i've ever heard. also listened to the maggot brain album. i think i'm a funkaholic now.

[RandomShellAccount]

@retroguy02

Haha, we're all Funkadelic man....some of us just take time to find it.

[Troubman10]

Love It.....

[mastersid02]

oh crap the drummer and bassist are making me pass out from awesomeness.

[retroguy02]

@mastersid02 i know, awesome work from all musicians - this is REAL fucking music ( this and jazz is what real 'black / african american' music was about, its a shame that now its shitty hip hop )

[jonrob70]

@retroguy02 - I agree with you 100% - but, dissagree on shitty hip hop! The RAP THESE DAYS ARE CRAP as opposed to the old HIP HOP going was back as far as the late 70's. Pure Hip Hop where the mc's were talking about partying and have'n a good time vs. Today's Rap, where the Fake mc's talk about the life of riches, shoot'em up bang bang and what not!!!! I am not feeling the music out today! Again, @mastersid02 -no disrespect and you are right.....funk/jazz is Real fkn music!!!!!!

[metalliczombie]

@retroguy02 I couldn't agree more. This shit today is just awful. I have no idea what happened to the music industry.

[AngerPatrol]

@metalliczombie Modern rock bands are hit and miss these days. But that was the case 40 years ago as well. I don't think the number of good bands active are the same as back then, but there is still some good music out there. For example, I just saw Seether a few days back, and they were tremendous.

[ballsgood69]

@metalliczombie go fuck yourself you nostalgic fuck

[metalliczombie]

@ballsgood69 Why the fuck are you on this video if you don't like this music? Get the fuck off of it and quit pissing people off you no life loser. Get a hobby or something.

[ballsgood69]

@metalliczombie haha i do like this music. this is my hobby. thrilling. there is nothig wrong with the music industry theres just more music so more bad music

[ballsgood69]

@metalliczombie took me 10 months to figure you replied to that. fml

[cgord37]

one of,if not THE,most underrated guitarist of all time...

[smashface31]

Truly a lost gem! I jamthis on the way to lake and fk those bass up!

[MrsPlanetMaster]

As Alwaze- BRAVO x's 10000 to Mr Hazel.......Sweetest Dreams!!!

[buccs37]

Very Underrated. A name people dont know, but should know.

[CASRO1151]

Eddie Hazel. Underrated and lovable.

[aretha47]

Thanks so much for uploading this!

[mustang1834]

Hi im Mustang1834 and im addicted to Maggot Brain and Eddie Hazel. Ive been zapped with a bob gun by Dr Funkinstien. I was counselled by Sir Nose DeVoid of Funk , but even he cannot help me. They say the bigger the pill the bigger the headache. mine musta been a placebo.

[nubiansista4life]

@mustang1834 im addicted, too! I'm so mad I never got to see Eddie Hazel in concert!

[TheDfunkadelic]

instant classic,eddie hazel dialed this one in perfect

[skullrydr]

Truly a guitar lovers dream, not too many peeps know of eddie hazel, way before his time. This is the best version of California Dreamin' ever made. FUNK RULZ....YOU GO EDDIE.....PLAY ON BABY

[jahstp]

[Pastoriul]

Been trying to find this forever - THANKS!!!!! for posting ...

[AngerPatrol]

@Pastoriul When I saw that this wasn't anywhere to be found on YouTube I thought it was not fair to all of you good people out there! I log back in 7 months later and find out it has 17k views. Go figure :P

[tibiafinger]

@Pastoriul .Are you looking for the Complete Album?Give me you email I can mp3 it to you .

[taildragger53]

Eddie Hazel was dynamite! This almost equals Jimi Hendrix's solo on' All Along The Watchtower'.

[OnDope85]

oh man thx for this upload i've search a long time

thx.greetings

[vernonvanderbilt]

By far my all-time favorite guitarist. I love what he did with this song. The man is legendary. RIP.

[MrMalonePoppin]

Who are singing?

[mrstep2me]

@MrMalonePoppin Eddie Hazel is the singer.

[solomanhill]

[mustang1834]

[JohnDullalot]

@mustang1834 Aye, that would be great. I love that song.

[AngerPatrol]

@mustang1834 I'm sorry, I haven't been on this profile in over 6 months. I will try to get some other songs up on here, but it seems as if YouTube isn't accepting videos I am trying to feed it. I would love to spread some of these amazing songs, and I am amazed at how many views this video has. It fills me with joy to see all of these people appreciating this wonderful song!

[mustang1834]

thanks to you and the other who put this up. live on eddie hazel

[soakgamesoundlab]
