Eddie Hazel RIP

[taariqtaariq]

I just saw P funk live 25/4/11 and Micheal Hampton is amazing and outrageous on the electric guitar.

He was playing a telecaster through a fuzz box and a mesa boogie stack.It was SICK!

[colonelful1]

yo this is a true living being still above earth and yo this shit here is the shi ite

[Racer64XXX]

i saw him live back in febuary, he is SMOOTH!!! i shaked his hand afterward out back of the place

[dogstarman1]

just love him! such a great player. Rocks out but builds it up sow with rhythm.

[Mr67type1]

Mike's all right,but he's no EDDIE HAZEL>

Eddie was the Man.

[nubiansista4life]

@Mr67type1 I agree. This lineup is okay, but looks like George need to head back to Plainfield, NJ and get some new talent.  It would be nice to see another Eddie Hazel, Fuzzy, Boogie, Glen, Gary or Bernie just to name a few.

[plutovex]

@nubiansista4life cant b another glen or eddie....EVER

[princeben7]

Michael is Awesome!

[dockaiser]

Sad news to all funkateers: Garry Shider died last week ... R.I.P.

[dockaiser]

@dockaiser P.S: the "diaper man", as he was called.

[drfuzzy23]

GREAT Hampton solo! And with Blackbyrd still in the band! The band is sounding great here!

[funklovinnupe]

All Live Funk is good. It is never the same or meant to be the same. I play bass. Just Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow!!!

[bigtimer1254]

I use to get high off the music alone. And I don't even mess with drugs or alchohol. I be dancing and tripping off them screaming guitars. With my hands up in the air, my eyes closed, and dancing away.

[needtashow]

They AWESOME ! you only see a 4 minute guitar solo.Poor sound quality. they're never playin the same thing the same way on different nights. -but don't crybabies. If Kidd Funkadelic ,Lige,Blackbyrd,Garry Shider,Mike Clip Payne and all that talent can't do you that's just hilarious

[FunkEnRegalia]

This is pfunk for kiddies; there is NO funk in the drumming, and that lady has to pick up the tempo, there are a bunch of people on stage and none of them are making noise, and mike hampton is clearly holding back and playing more metally than funky.

For PFunk the highest standard is held. This is a fail, you can tell from the retirement home tempo.

[atomicdog93funk]

i would also have to agree with you, this is funkentelechy dried up without the singers, i mean george has all these people on stage doing nothing and instead of more people singing he should have more people playing a instrument. the horn section, two does not cut it, they were strongest when they had three or more. George needs to go back to his standard of what he used to say back in the day, "Don't let him slow down" Well george u kinda did but i would still pay to see them live!!

[Whatisthescore]

i agree. hampton sounds good tho

[Amanlikeme]

If George paid his players well enough he would have good players. This is clearly crap. I'm actually disappointed and embarassed for them. At least the horn player hit his part.lol

[atomicdog93funk]

do you think they get paid well or no???

[Amanlikeme]

Well back then, I think it was around 81, me and a friend of mine met a few of the guys in a park in D.C. where they showed off the Mothership in a tractor trailer and we spoke with Lige, he said he was making about 28k a year. Which isn't all that bad for back then, but I gotta wonder if he got paid on time with all the rumors about George having problems.

[mustang1834]

your comment 11 mnths ago , about funkadelic being crap makes me wonder if you know much about the group.

[Amanlikeme]

@mustang1834 I know enough to know that while Mike does do well on the solo, the band is lacking Skeet and Dennis. While I do like Lige's playing the drummer has no imagination, which brings down the rest of them. How's that? Do you think I know enough now or do you want more.

[hawaiianpunch13]

u probably dont even play a instrument

[FunkEnRegalia]

actually, i've played with the plainfield and brunswick funk crews before and i play several instruments, some even with classical training...your internet toughguy act = /fail

[dddid75]

I love it .. michael is WOOF WOOF !!

[rmsolympic1]

Wow, I never knew Hampton was such guitar-destroyer. Great solo.

[OrgenaII]

have u ever listen to any P-Funk, r saw them live ??????? Who do u think is playin. Its him r Eddie.

[rmsolympic1]

Uh, yeah, I have seen them on the original Flashlight tour.

[FunkEnRegalia]

Eddie died in the 90s.

[thefreakbutcher]

thats hampton eddy is dead,

and i saw them last weekend

[wdupar20]

Mr. Kidd Funkadelic himself!

[casper55428]

kicked it with mike hampton in mineapolis back in the late 80's, using a fuzz pedal/chorus box/wah wah pedal,and a few little secret pedals I wont mention

[harvjr86]

love to know what he's using in his setup. love his sound.

[Calicard]

Where's old Sir Nose? Tell him he will dance. Sucker!

[Blhite]

Haha, that dude in the diaper is still playing? Hell wear that diaper forever, thats what theyre gonna bury him in :P

[whitefeathercf]

Yeah, some things never change!

[knightmirnj]

He might have lost that six pack, but he still can play the funk out of that G-tar

[cosmicangel]

well.. six pack ain't give up da Funk for sure!
