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
holy cow. i have been listening to the mike watt version of this song for years. i, just today, at this very moment, found out it was a cover. now im torn. they are both beautiful.
Well, not exactly "like this" because it's different styles, but... Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, King Crimson and some others.
This is just the way we'd always jam the song. We NEVER did the 10 minute version. It was ALWAYS 20 minutes or longer at any party or jam. That was the only way t2o get your head around this song. Just try playing it. You'll see. 10 minutes isn't long enough. Another quitarist at the time had the same playing spirit. His name was, Phil Keaggy. Check out his lead in, Never Is A Long Time, Glass Harp, on YouTube.
what the fuck man..these mutha fukkas were jammin there asses off..this is rock got dammit this aint funk..but since it has soul in it-aka black folks white bread had to call it something..but this is no mutha fucking doubt..ROCK in its purest form..blackness with soul and blues...
You know George Clinton, Bootsy, Eddie Hazel, Bernie Worrell and The P-funk outfit were light years ahead of what any body was doing in 1971. Who believe that a 19yr. old Eddie Hazel composed this. They truly understood the cosmic powers and connected. Eddie Hazel was a very gifted guitarist.....this is a composition to be respected just like a Handel or Mozart work.
@brodiebalonie Obviously u are unschooled in P-Funk culture, so go to Google and look up something to aid your understanding, then u might be less of a cretin! btw.. what's ur take on other salutes? Do you have a favored one like maybe 'the Hitler' ..... or maybe something else!!
I like the song, i like the concert, i like the violin work. But still, i think the violin is not much explorated by the performer. She could do a lot more than stay on that performance area. Hear some Laurie Anderson to see what im talking about. The most probable, is that she wasnt very experienced in experimental music at the time of this concert.
Bass smashing my brains in....lead guitar melted my face...violin severed all arteries...drums crusehed everything else.....bottom line they tore it up!!!!!!
i own 5 or 6 funkadelic/pfunk cds with different versions from maggot b. album, 1 nation, and some live. But im still drawn to this song everytime im on utube. if not this song something from hazel. its like crack!! i need sir nose devoid of funk to punch me or something !!! LOL
@geletmote frusciante was an imitator like most 90s guitar players of what was really crafted in the 70s. There was something special about that time for guitar driven rock. Nothing compares. Most of whats produced today is really just an homage. For some reason we can't break into a new era of greatness, its really just a matter of reliving it and wishing that it was as celebrated today as it once was then.

The violin solo damn near cleared the dance floor... people start stirring and heads disappear off to the right and left.. haha.. she sounds like a talented player, but I wasn't feeling it, especially in this context.
This has to be one of the baddest guitar solos ever conceived and played...This is up there with Hendrix, Ernie Isley, Led Z, and the rest...but the violin solo was overdone...it wasn't in the original and it was not mixing with the real funk.
Does anyone know what sort of show Clinton is currently touring with. I've got a ticket for a show next week in Amsterdam. It says Clinton/Funkadelic/ Parliament, but not what the emphasis is.
Just saw them a few days ago at Nelson Ledges in Ohio. P-Funk / George Clinton is the same thing..your gonna get it all and have your mind blown...enjoy!
They played LATE into the night. I was properly inebriated so I can't be 100% sure, but if that wasn't maceo on stage then they have a body double :) It looks like he is touring europe right now so I don't know if he just left for that tour or if I was hallucinating :) They kept calling it his birthday show even though his B-day was yesterday I believe, so maybe it was something special. Have fun on the Mothership!
If it's not, it needs to be. Us Funkadelic fans have been waiting a looong time for a new rocker, and that sounds like it could be turned into something monstrous.
I'll never forget the first time i heard this song. Freshman year at Grambling from a friend with a shit load of albums from Chicago. I was totally blown away. Got turned on to Hendrix around the same. time. Double Whammy......LOL Been hooked ever since on both.
That's my boy in the diaper.LOL
Looks like that load done went from the diaper back to his stomach....LOL
I wonder if Eddie Hazel and Bernie Worrellknew they what a masterpiece this would be when they first conceived it. To hear a combination of vivolin and guitar on lead is mind-blowin definitely art and music at it's best..
Superb guitarists, brilliant band, music that transports any listener to such wonderful heights!!! Eddie Hazel & Michael Hampton .....RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!
hey. does anyone has a link to the video of Eddie Hazel performing California Dreamin'(originally peformed by The Mamas & The Papas) because that is one of the most amazing songs ever and I've been trying to find a video for a long time now.

not that im a talent scout but i just wasted 17 plus mins of my life on the worst cover of this song. my god he did rape it ( hope i don't offend anyone with the word god ) i was in a little shit band and we played with 110 % more feeling. still get gratz to this day when i stop at the hole in a wall bar for a beer.
I can't hear what's so "worst" with this. Sounds pretty much like it should. Do you like "Maggot Brain - Eddie Hazel & Michael Hampton (Maryland 1983)" better? Of course, this video is a simple, shaky single-camera video, so it is not so fun to watch, but I don't think the musicians play badly at all.
Jealousy and Envy knows no bounds-If I EVER WROTE A SONG-MAGGOT BRAIN IS IT!SAY HI TO ALL THE DRUNK'S AT YOUR HOLE& CHECK AND SEE IF ASSHOLE IS TAKEN- IT'S APPROPRIATE LOL- ADRIAN CRUTCH
mother earth is pregnant for the third time, for yall 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. best intro to a song ever lol
where you get that information from p funk retiring george must be in bad health love the intro lots of guitar playing befor the song as foer the violin the girl is lily haydn she's a part time member of p funk she plays with them off and on and has recorded with t5hem in the 90's plus lily haydn has cd's out on her own you can ordwer them on amazon if you wish.
my only recommendation, see them in Washington, DC. 1st concert I saw them in DC was 4.5 hours. They followed, I mean blended into Maggot brain during the transition. George Clinton, didn't come out until about 2 hours into the show. UnFuKing Real. They tease about this year being the last so, my recommendation, see them if you can.
you must be kidding me there is a freakin violin! this is awsomme master piece, trully oh and the freakin paranoïque person there donnadw chill the f*ck out seriously lol liberty of speech you know that? lol.
I saw them live in 2004 or 2005, and it was way more metal than I expected, and it was great. The guy in the diaper came out on stage, dressed the same, and played heavy metal lead guitar for like 30 minutes with just a bass player wearing a kung fu outfit(I think it was the same bass player from this vid) and a drummer. It blew my mind. By far the greatest concert I've ever been to. The music never stopped, one song flowed straight into another for three hours.
I am a lucky mofo. I won the tickets on the radio, and i didn't even know what i was calling for. just had the phone in my hand and heard "caller number 9 right now is going " and called. I wasn't even a fan before i went to the concert. I would have never known how awesome these guys are
I don't like this one, there's no funk in it whatsoever. The drummer sounds like a plain metaldrummer. Assutt14 is totally right. Guitars...same story, what a shame Glenn Goins died so young.
I like it, but I like both funk and metal so I suppose I don't count. I agree with you that it sounds a lot heavier. In fact, it seems a cover made by a metal band.
Check Maryland show with both Hazel and Hampton on guitars, it's great!
Also sadness is an emotion that expresses itself more distinctively than love.Also i saw Funkadelic a couple months ago and i was right in front and i could tell he was playing it with his love for Eddie not just because it was another song on the set list he had to "Fire out".
It appears that Kid Funkadelic plays with less emotion because Eddie was told to play like his mother had just died on a day in wich he was down in the dumps(thus Maggot Brain was born) so he played it with sadness on his mind and everytime after that when he would play it that thought would be running through his mind but with Michael he plays it with his love for Eddie.Comment continued after this one I didnt have enough room to express my feelings about this persons comment.
I'm really sick of hearing Hampton playing Eddie's song - he completely rapes it. He just goes through the motions and fires it out...no emotion whatsoever. Technically he's a fantastic guitarist but there's just no feeling.
Check out his version in houston back in 78 and tell me u think he rapes it. That version alone tells ya why they picked him up back when he was a teen.

I am sickened and repulsed by the fact that you likened a sublime and emotional musical performance to a violent sexual crime. Your brain must be a very ugly thing, Asutt14.
Why does it matter? People like assutt and funkadelicness would revolt me no matter who they were or knew. Rape NEVER equals anything positive and I can't believe there are people who are at the very least competent enough to post on a message board who do not know this. Maybe I'm missing something, pls explain how violent demeaning assault equates to a good musical performance?
It's people who post comments like that that turn everyday women into man-hating Feminazis.

Youtube bans capitals? Do they also ban sentences that don't start with capital letters?
Perhaps the term doesn't bother you because you are not female. If someone was posting about a guitarist and said "wow, he totally CASTRATED that song" and you had been a victim of castration or knew people who had would it not be offensive to you?
If you still don't agree, check the dictionary definition of rape and let me know if you find anything referencing using it as a compliment.
I pray u develop the empathy and kindness to understand how victims of violent crime might be sensitive to hearing that word used as a compliment. I hope that if your mother or sister (i do not say wife as I sense that a fool like you could not be involved with a woman) is ever raped, that you show more understanding to them.
Won't be getting off the internet; it's my mission to attempt to bring the the truth. I am not noble enough NOT to say that I don't wish a painful prison rape on you.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
rape is fucking hilarious, stupid. it's nothing more then getting beat up, except penis instead of fist and cunt/anus instead of face. if you didn't make such a big fucking deal people wouldn't be scarred by it, they'd just be like, yeah, that sucked.
Honestly, I have respect for Michael Hampton as a guitarist and I have respect for where he is right now, but he doesn't even come close. Eddie played and sang from his soul. Michael Hampton took this song and made it into a GUITAR song, not a song that you pour your heart and soul into.
I would like to pay homage,to the one and only Eddie Hazel.How he pour his heart and soul into the classic MAGGOT BRAIN.Rest in peace. P-Funk-O Thomas

George Clinton, didn't come out until about 2 hours into the show. UnFuKing Real. They tease about this year being the last so, my recommendation, see them if you can.

I saw them live in 2004 or 2005, and it was way more metal than I expected, and it was great. The guy in the diaper came out on stage, dressed the same, and played heavy metal lead guitar for like 30 minutes with just a bass player wearing a kung fu outfit(I think it was the same bass player from this vid) and a drummer. It blew my mind. By far the greatest concert I've ever been to. The music never stopped, one song flowed straight into another for three hours.

I am a lucky mofo. I won the tickets on the radio, and i didn't even know what i was calling for. just had the phone in my hand and heard "caller number 9 right now is going " and called. I wasn't even a fan before i went to the concert. I would have never known how awesome these guys are

I don't like this one, there's no funk in it whatsoever. The drummer sounds like a plain metaldrummer. Assutt14 is totally right. Guitars...same story, what a shame Glenn Goins died so young.
SanneMeems 3 years ago
Metaldrummers are anything but plain ;).
I like it, but I like both funk and metal so I suppose I don't count. I agree with you that it sounds a lot heavier. In fact, it seems a cover made by a metal band.
Check Maryland show with both Hazel and Hampton on guitars, it's great!

First comment below this is a continuation.
Also sadness is an emotion that expresses itself more distinctively than love.Also i saw Funkadelic a couple months ago and i was right in front and i could tell he was playing it with his love for Eddie not just because it was another song on the set list he had to "Fire out".
mrgreengenes19 3 years ago 2
It appears that Kid Funkadelic plays with less emotion because Eddie was told to play like his mother had just died on a day in wich he was down in the dumps(thus Maggot Brain was born) so he played it with sadness on his mind and everytime after that when he would play it that thought would be running through his mind but with Michael he plays it with his love for Eddie.Comment continued after this one I didnt have enough room to express my feelings about this persons comment.

great song. nice technical version. everyone has their personality, but i'm going to find video with eddie hazel playing.
bullbram 3 years ago
I'm really sick of hearing Hampton playing Eddie's song - he completely rapes it. He just goes through the motions and fires it out...no emotion whatsoever. Technically he's a fantastic guitarist but there's just no feeling.
Funkadelicness 3 years ago 2
Eddie was a more emotional player, Hampton still does a good version
jody808 3 years ago 2
Check out his version in houston back in 78 and tell me u think he rapes it. That version alone tells ya why they picked him up back when he was a teen.

I am sickened and repulsed by the fact that you likened a sublime and emotional musical performance to a violent sexual crime. Your brain must be a very ugly thing, Asutt14.

Nycago 3 years ago
Why does it matter? People like assutt and funkadelicness would revolt me no matter who they were or knew. Rape NEVER equals anything positive and I can't believe there are people who are at the very least competent enough to post on a message board who do not know this. Maybe I'm missing something, pls explain how violent demeaning assault equates to a good musical performance?
It's people who post comments like that that turn everyday women into man-hating Feminazis.

dont take him serious!
he says that he is raping some musical performance! not that he is some kind of sick man that sneaks into woman's houses, and rapes them!
oh and btw ""Rape NEVER equals anything positive""
wow thanks for the information, i didnt know that thank you so much
and please stop writing with capital letters, because its a youtube comment

Youtube bans capitals? Do they also ban sentences that don't start with capital letters?
Perhaps the term doesn't bother you because you are not female. If someone was posting about a guitarist and said "wow, he totally CASTRATED that song" and you had been a victim of castration or knew people who had would it not be offensive to you?
If you still don't agree, check the dictionary definition of rape and let me know if you find anything referencing using it as a compliment.

youre an idiot for reading that far into it, get off the internet

I pray u develop the empathy and kindness to understand how victims of violent crime might be sensitive to hearing that word used as a compliment. I hope that if your mother or sister (i do not say wife as I sense that a fool like you could not be involved with a woman) is ever raped, that you show more understanding to them.
Won't be getting off the internet; it's my mission to attempt to bring the the truth. I am not noble enough NOT to say that I don't wish a painful prison rape on you.

I pray you develop a brain for the internet and everything on it. You can not take things seriously like that, it will only leave you frustrated.
Preaching on youtube of all places is a bad idea.

rape is fucking hilarious, stupid. it's nothing more then getting beat up, except penis instead of fist and cunt/anus instead of face. if you didn't make such a big fucking deal people wouldn't be scarred by it, they'd just be like, yeah, that sucked.

ijam4free 4 years ago 2
Honestly, I have respect for Michael Hampton as a guitarist and I have respect for where he is right now, but he doesn't even come close. Eddie played and sang from his soul. Michael Hampton took this song and made it into a GUITAR song, not a song that you pour your heart and soul into.
