Michael Hampton (Maggot Brain - Charlotte, NC 1999)

[880x]

Alucinante

[SuperStingray5]

So where does this cat rate in the guitar "Hall of Fame?" This is some HHHHAAAAAWWWWWTTTTT guitar playing...I think.

That poor guitar is getting ripped!

[smashface31]

Style or no style if he's good then it shouldn't matter! Maybe if he came off that high horse and got down in the dirt a little he might learn something!

[torqueing]

Not Steve Vai's style. Vai's playing is more sterile and clinical, with perfect technique and relies more on tricks and gimmicks with his playing. Hampton reminds me slightly of Clapton insofar as they just most of the time they just close their eyes and let their soul and figures argue about what's going to be played, how and when.

Btw, look closely and you will see he has a similar playing style to Dave Gilmour

This is awesome!

Eddie Hazel actually played most of the guitar on Hardcore Jollies with the exception of Cosmic Slop which was played by Michael with Garry Shider coming in for a solo at the end.

[smashface31]

I wonder if steve vai can play this song?

[DENBOSCH123]

What pedals does he use?

[MrKidfunkadelic]

i would love if mike would do some songs off the "hardcore jollies" lp examples;comin around the mountain,hardcore joliies....

[shereenicolelove]

[sweatyspaghetti]

This entire gig is, nasty, killer, wild and funky. A great example of 90's P-FUNK.

[mykahl123]

And Murdered it....

[yellaboi73]

[mykahl123]

[arikthefreak]

Kidd Funkadelic iz one the most shamefully underated and under appreciated guitarist of all time! dat brutha iz BRILLIANT!!!
