  • EDDIE HAZEL RULES!!!!

  • if you cant feel this tune go die..!

  • 400,000 VIEWS!!! THE FUNK IS HERE TO STAY!!!!! you all rock, besides the 18 people that had brain aneurysms while watching and hit the dislike button as they died due to a melted brain.

  • @supergolfer257 Of course it is!! :D

  • Mike hampton killed this song no doubt!!!!

  • THATS BULLSHIT!!! MIKE WAS AND STILL IS A GREAT GUITARIST!!!! EVEN EDDIE SAID SO...FUCKIN' HATERS!!!

  • 0:00 - 0:05

    you must use the force...

  • @jk2sweetgc theme from 'close encounters'...

  • If this was sculpture, it would be the Michelangelo's David

  • I feel terrible for the people who disliked this.

  • Sonofabitch, just found this. This is probably the best goddamn guitar work I've ever heard. I've seen some of the best live , David Gilmour, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, Eddie Van Halen, Mark Knopfler, Steve Vai, Brian May, Willie Nelson (yes I mean that, if you've ever heard him live you'd understand)...but by far, Eddie & Mike blow them away. George & P-Funk, PLEASE COME TO EL PASO.

  • LORD HAVE MERCY!!!!

  • i wasnt alive for this bands regime..... BUT MY SOUL WAS THERE

  • For the record, for everyone who thinks Eddie was a perpetual junkie, he was stone cold straight playing this. I was at the concert before this one and we spent some time together. He did no drugs that weekend. That's a fact.

  • eddie plays with emotions. george told eddie play the song like you just heard your momma just died. then you found out she is alive.  that's why mike's versions will always be eddie. listen. note for note. not really understanding what each note means. he plays with alot of passsion now. heard this song when i was 11. and cried!! i got it!!

  • this is and always will be eddie's song. george kissed mike's ass at the end . eddie can change notes, mike can.t. he plays eddie's notes. green eye monster a bitch

  • Eddie is on The Rolling Stone 100 Greatest Guitarists list for a reason...melodic, powerful, full of emotion and totally commited, and Hampton is spot on with him...and my fellow Metal heads are always blown away that I love Funk so much...THIS IS WHY!

  • It's a two guitar part, but the closest, most beautiful, single guitar rendition is played by Dean Ween. Two guitar with Buckethead involved is insane. Eddie was #1.

  • @fefferton hail the boognish!

  • Eddie played this on some variety show back in the 70's and had acid in his head band and he was sweating his ass off and trippin hardcore, someone should post that clip he killed the shit outta that performance

  • Mike Hampton just melted my face with his Rectified and Mesa Bewgie at The Moon in Tallahassee, FL, 11/16/11 from 9:56-10:07 pm. Unh.

  • ostia que increible

  • Just fuckin freakin insanely perfect!!

  • WOOOOOOW I think I found jimi hindrex's sons

  • That indescribable performance melted my face, my brain, and part of my spleen. Much due respect to both Eddie (R.I.P.) and Michael. I hope we can stop comparing these two guitar gods (Jimi and Ernie too).

  • WOW! CLASH CLASH CLASH!

  • This is the best thing i've ever heard!

  • THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT I MADE LOVE TO IT WHAT AN EXPERIENCE... NEVER AGAIN OR SINCE HAVE I HAD SUCH PLEASURE.. IT WASNT THE JUST THE MAN IT WAS THE MUSIC...

  • FUHHHHH TOOOO EPIICCCC AHHH

  • I felt every single note he played... fuuuuuucckkkkkkk

  • here's a question for you.. who do you think is better: Ernie Isley or Eddie Hazel? Or can you really compare the two? I'd like an educated response please.. thx

  • @mysterybat35

    both are great Isley got his traning from Jimmie FUNK AND ROLL Ernie did have a great album though

  • @funkedbyinjection RESPECT! no argument from me, just glad to see another sage reply to this awesome video. i agree one of my biggest life frustrations has been the failure of my own people to embrace music they helped create (ben harper, living colour, fishbone, 24-7 spyz, the bus boys and all the ones i mentioned have primarily White audiences as well). lets hope the afro-punk movement brings folks back! thanks for your reply!

  • There were no computers harmed nor abused in the making of this masterpiece. The Freebird has been caged.

  • I had to staple my face back on.

  • @funkedbyinjection .......I agree with you totally, and this is just my opinion Parliament was geared mostly towards the black community and Funkadelic was just were the could let loose and jam

  • @Daddy4302 Pick which ever one you want.... I love them both.... and I have for a long time

  • When I first heard "Coming Around the Mountain I thought Hendricks who? Now contemporaries are finally admitting Eddie was a better musician and Hendricks was better whit the petals!!!!!

  • Jimmy Hendrix long lost brother? NO! its Eddie Hazel!!

  • The guitar concerto! To realize it on stage for 13 years as the climax of an unstoppable show with 40 performers on stage...

  • 240p, we meet again...

  • Nothin but pure Genius on Guitar on both Michael and Eddies part.

    

  • Thay was so sweet. Bsck when music was music and black rocker,funk and musicianship was show cased and inspirided many to pick up and bass or guitar. Those where good times

  • Eddie Hazel was one of the greatest guitarists of all time. It's a shame so few know his name, but hopefully video posts like this will help rectify that. Sad story about his life, like so many other greats.

  • In this video Eddie Hazel plays first, and it always should have been this way, not like in most of other videos.

  • some of the best songs ever just dont need lyrics

  • That.......was.....brilliant..­...-faints-

  • WOW - is all I can say!

  • My Guitar is inappropriately playing with itself.

  • @RCKMSTR92 "sigh".....

  • @hwgreen I'm am bassplayer, and suficiently jealous.

  • There were a lot of great rock songs from Arican-American artists I discovered through my uncles. Maggot Brain is the best. Also check out Graham Central Station's "Earthquake" and Slave has a song called "Volcano Rupture" that rocks.

  • 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 upon my being with one purpose to funknotize my a_s 4ever

  • @THE1FUNKMASTER You're so cool because you know big words dude.

  • 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.

  • OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a funkateer from wayyyyyyyy back in the day. I saw this performance live!!!!! I have been to hundreds of concerts over the years, and hands down Parliament Funkadelic is the one group I've seen more than any of the other groups I've seen live. They ruled back then. And still have their category of funk locked down today! One of the best live performances anyone could ever want to see!

  • MY FACE!! ITS MELLLTTTINNNNGGGGGGggggg.... . . .

  • @QuIcKySiLvA SO IS MY PENISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSsssssss­ssssss............ . . . .

  • Back before music became segregated. Hair Bands and Rap drove the races apart musically.....

  • @alexwilsonNC i appreciate what you have to say, but music was effectively segregated when rock and roll ceased to be called "n-word music" and Elvis & Co came along to bring it to the White masses (1950s). From then on unless your name was Jimi Hendrix, and possibly Prince (1980s) or Lenny Kravitz (1990s) and Ben Harper & TVOTR (2000s) Black musicians have not been supported by the music establishment as "rock and roll acts." Fishbone + Living Colour were supported but NOT today.

  • I have loved this band my entire life, and this video reminds me of why I have. Eddie and Mike completely turned it out. I only wish the kids would stop trying to decide who is better. These guys were friends for years, They appreciated each others gifts. Oh, and FYI, Who played maggot brain at Eddie's funeral... Mike Hampton, enough said

  • @ejay0723 dude hell yeah, finally someone who gets it!  funk for life

  • @supergolfer257 yeah, i have been listening this band for about a month sorry i am only 15 and listen to other awesome stuff but funkadelic is now my second best band after led zeppelin... Thank you for this video dude.

  • @ejay0723 Eddie was better!

  • I get chills & tears every time I hear/ feel Maggot brain. Most recently NYC 7/27 to celebrate GC's 70th

  • That's what Deaner was talking about. Tear for Eddie!

  • why doesn't this video have a hundred million hits????!!!

  • Aahhhh, kids. Shit, I've been listening to this since it FIRST came out, way back in the early 1970s.

    Music, TRUE music knows no color, no sex barriers. Witness: Lindsay Buckingham. Patty Quatro. Victor Wooten on bass. Or John McVee. I could go on for hours

  • BEST GUITAR SOLO EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Heard someone perform this live over the 4th July weekend and decided to look it up. I'm a die-hard Prince fan but this guitar solo is one of the best I've ever heard!

  • Totally fucked my earpussy!

  • MY FACE JUST MELTED HOLY FUCK WHAT DO I DO

  • HOOOOOOOOOOOLY FUCK ! Best Maggot Brain i heard ! Eddie bless you all folks !

  • HOLY P FUNK , 2 GREATS HIT THE STAGE IN MINDBLOWING FORM ,THIS IS A FIRST FOR ME BRILLIANTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

  • Holy Smokes!!! My face just melted!!!! The album version of the song was one of the awesomest things I've heard..... I And this is so much more rockin' amazing!! Eddie Hazel = Legend

  • Dude was a god, a god, I tell you.

  • @rabgamaliel True. But God is a Dude as well.

  • @GeneLattanzi No. Dude is a God.

  • go eddie go!!!

  • This is amazing

  • HOLY SHIT

    That's One Giant Fucking Face Melter

  • RIP Eddie! :(

  • how could you not get goosebumps from this.

  • saw these guys again last night , still fucking awesome !

  • ON THIS EARTH DAY, ~~~~~MOTHER EARTH IS PREGNANT FOR THE THIRD TIME, FOR WE HAVE KNOCKED HER UP

  • 1:43 PRAISE LES PAUL, FOR HENDRIX HAS RISEN AGAIN! (It looks kind like him in that one moment.)

  • @jayson201 Well, Hendrix was a big influence on eddie (if you couldn't already tell from the records! :D ) So that's sorta true, well, at least in my eyes

  • Mother Earth is Pregnant for the third time, cos y'all have knocked her up.

    I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe. I was not offended for I knew i had to rise above it all, or drown in my own Shit.

    Go on, Maggot Brain

  • lol @ 17 dislikes. they must not have hearing or are hearing impaired. Amazing things deserve acclaimed credit, not discredited,non talented opinions of a song. For instance to say a song like this not inspirational, one must be without passion or emotion to not feel what was just heard. P.P.P.EACE!!!

  • MY GOOSEBUMPS WONT GO AWAY

  • amazing!

    

  • Why is there a featured ad for LDS on the side of this page? Mormons aren't funky.

    ...are they?

  • My face just got melted...

  • Their tone is so fucking amazing!!!

  • I still like the original better...

  • this gives me goosebumps,eddie hazel r.i.p.

  • one lazy afternoon i was just lying on the bed with my ipod and suddenly this song started; i had never heard it before. and i asked myself am i in heaven?

  • Comment removed

  • @shithard you're the 18th

  • @shithard With a name like shithard, I guess you couldn't resist being a complete twat.

  • If that don't bring the mothership, it ain't coming.

  • If they wanna legalize weed, they should just play this is court.

  • That's what this do! I remember seeing the whole P-funk nation, prior to the first day of freshman class... thx mom, for that! Got a lil high though, but that comes with the territory. I've wanted to learn the guitar every since. Fuck black, fuck white... this is one of the greatest g-solo's ever. How the fuck are 17 dislikes?? To each his own though... I don't see why you would waste the effort dissing someone. Spend that time complimenting those that you do like. Hear me now!

  • @ecarohcirym

    I believe 17 people disliked only because they want their faces back... doesn't mean they disliked the music.

  • i would give literally EVERYTHING I own to see this performance live,

    God, why was i born ten years AFTER this fucking performance...

  • holy fuck,,,, thats probably the longest shiver trough my spine EVER

  • Oh my god allmighty! heard this tune today when looking at an episode of house! went online to get it ... have heard it like 6 times in a row and can not belive what i have missed..... Think this tune went straight up to a nr1. of my alltime favourites...Unbelievable guitarr, i just float away when lisening to it.. +++++++++++

  • Just Wow!

  • Just Wow!

  • Fuck this is awsome...but i cant help thinking its slightly sped up...and it sounds a little too squealy. Maybe its me...but how would one fix this if thats the case?

  • R.I.P - My Face

  • this is the definition of guitar feelling, amazing every time i hear it i feel lke crying

  • i see a link that is titled greatest american guitaris: eddie hazel vs slash. how pointless. im a great slash fan but even i admit hes not good enough to change eddies strings.

  • that guitar was plugged into eddies fucking heart

  • Incredible indeed Eddie Hazel is the original guitar Mike Hampton followed and became known as Kidd Funkadelic. Garry Shider was the guitarist who wore the diaper he was Starchild. He died a few months back. Bootsy Collins was one of the bass players. George Clinton is a genius. Bernie The Wizard Worrell is behind a lot of the music. I saw them probably thirty times in concert. Check out Mommy Mommy What's A Funkadelic.

  • Fuck Yeah. That solo just killed me :)

  • White people have never heard of Eddie Hazel. What's really sad is black people havent heard of him either.

  • @cydonianpsycho ...incorrecto-mundo...my friend....!!

  • @dj4him Yeah, I probably should have qualified that statement with "Most" _____people. I played guitar for about 15 years before I had even heard of him, and I never hear his name brought up in mainstream "Best guitarist" conversations. I bring him up, and everyone is like, "who?"...

  • Unbelievable. Amazing. I love Eddie... I've always found it sad that the "R&B" genre became so computerized... People will listen to samples and not remember or consider the original... Parliament, Funkadelic, and other real R&B & funk bands put such a strong emphasis on muscianship... then it all disappeared. In this vid: Eddie could school 99% of all guitar players, anytime, anywhere... Eddie was amazing, under-rated, under-appreciatred, and TASTY. Really, that's it: TASTY.

  • Praxis with Buckethead and lily haden did my fave performance of maggot brain.

  • i usually dont comment on videos, i just enjoy them. not sure how i found this and i feel nothing but anger for not hearing this before. THIS IS WHAT ITS SUPPOSED TO BE. the next idiot who tells me that brothers cant play guitar is getting strapped in to listen to this man.

  • @marples88 dude hell yeah! this song could break both religious and political barriers.

  • @marples88 on the contrary, some of the best guitarist ever have been black including arguably the greatest in hendrix.

  • @vicodinzz i wouldn't say it's even arguable my friend. Hendrix is the greatest ever.

  • @MikeC26GH Why is that? Because everyone else says he is?

  • @MikeC26GH I agree but it can be(and is) argued about, thus is arguable.

  • @vicodinzz okay, fag.

  • @MikeC26GH lol that's how most idiots react upon realizing they're idiots.

  • @vicodinzz whatever you say, fag.

  • @marples88 the guitarist for 24-7 Spyz goes by 'Jimi Hazel' a combination of Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Hazel (RIP)

  • @marples88 who ever says that tell them to talk to me hhaha

  • @marples88 People like Jimmy Hendricks and black groups like Funkadelic were the ones who took ROCK to the level it is at now.

  • @marples88 People like Jimmy Hendricks and black groups like Funkadelic were the ones who took ROCK to the level it is at now. Michael & Eddie were two of the best.

  • @marples88 Someone told you "brother's" can't play guitar and you believed them?! Shame on you! the best part of music is that it doesn't matter where it comes from or who, just that it can reach your ears and you enjoy it.

  • @marples88 Not to tell you what to do, or not to do, but I'd suggest just being happy that you've found it.

    As as what people say about Brothers not being able to play... fuck 'em.

  • @marples88 I'm a white guy.... but all of my favourite guitarists are 'brothers' ! This is amazing - only started listening to Parliament/Funkadelic through being a Prince fan, but this is off the scale...

  • @marples88 No body says they cant, in fact many regard Jimi Hendrix as the greatest of all time. Stop splitting hairs, we're all human.

  • dude i've got a friend who completely melted after hearing this

  • @JuanchoFsa make sure they are ok, stick them in a freezer and don't let them hear funk like this without a damn good warning first.

  • I melted. I'm still in that proverbial ooze. I never came back.

  • 15 people, need to WAKE THE FUCK UP!

  • go maggot brain

  • AWESOME

  • 15 people just need to clean their ears

  • @ElninoKB

    15 people should go and chew on an electric fence in a thunderstorm.

  • I just came..

  • From 2:36 to 2:42 is the most beautiful expression I ever saw on his face.....

  • Damn dude ufff

  • eddie never fails to dissapoint class solo i could go on but i wont

  • "Play like your mother died"

  • This is the difference between shredding and mind-shredding

  • MY NEW ALL TIME FAVOURITE FOR AS LONG AS I SHALL LIVE ON THIS EARTH. THANK YOU EDDIE

  • Funkin makes my ears hard, and tears roll down my face!

  • *head explodes*

  • @skatefallen15

    are you all right?

  • I saw them a couple of times on this tour.  Dennis Chambers on drums. Rocked my world.

  • Can't you smell and taste the marijuana?

  • @beginnerjay

    makes me want some so I can enter those outer limits right along with them.

  • @beginnerjay : what most people don't know is that Eddie was as close to "clean" as he could be during this tour.. I spent a weekend with him and the only thing he did was drink some beer. that's all. no drugs. 1984 rolled around and he was using again. he was forever fighting that demon.

  • daaaammmnnn.....I need a cigarette

  • GOOD LAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Fuckin' a now I gotta go get the mop to mop my face up...

  • What an underrated guitarist. Right up there with the likes of Roy Buchanan, Rory Gallagher, Tommy Bolin

  • THIS IS A DMN GOOD VERSION OF MAGGOT BRAIN EDDIE HAZEL & MICHAEL HAMPTON DUELING IT OUT. I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG "ALL VERSIONS"....MAKE MY FUNK A P-FUNK!!!!!!!!!

  • As sick as this guitargasm is, Dennis Chambers is in BEAST MODE on this one.

  • This has been a favorite song of mine since high school. A long long time ago. Eddie does so much with that e minor pentatonic scale. I love to crank to eleven and rock out to this. Great song to improvise with. This song completely changed my mind about so many things along the black versus white musical ideas.

  • need this on my ipod...

  • Black Hole Space has opened above me The tasting of blood is fresh upon our lips Juggernauts of sight and sound Bless me with your radiance Possess me, take me to your residence I am fallen to my knees, to plead to implore you and warn you the only thing we need is now the only thing to fear is how How blessed am I, How light do I feel I can swim through the ground See your brain through my ears But I will not let the water touch my face I'll just keep rising Above it All (Thanks Eddie)
  • George for president !!!!!!

  • I have dropped a many tab of acid and eaten a lot of 'shrooms while listening to this song....rise above it all or drown in your shit!!!

  • I've seen P-Funk over 100 times since 1974 and this is one of the best performances ever...P-Funk 4ever!

  • @supergolfer257 thx so much for posting this vid. my last name happens to be Hazel, and in sheer coincidence last week, I happened to search for musicians with my last name, and of course Eddie Hazel's name pops up. Maybe I'm related maybe not. With no previous knowledge of Eddie or his great guitar expliots, I watch this video and man... there are no words for it. All I know is my research of Eddie has just begun. If there is any more of his music you know of please post it!!!
