Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

[Donenotperfect]

God, that tube distortion- just epic!!

[GuybrushThreepwooish]

Wow, this one "Go Maggot Brain..." Fucked me up every time. This Voice is so awesome!!!

[TheAchyliam]

And people say LSD doesn't get shit done

[shldnbschmn]

could this solo be played twice? i dunno...

...lucky for us the Gods of Recording deigned to let this be caught on tape though.

[shldnbschmn]

this is very good.

[Salope62]

The best representation of the Earliest forms of Funk every recorded... you may not like it, you may not be able to sit through it, you may may hate it. But, it is FUNK at its inception and as such deserves accolades. THIS, people, is a masterpiece.

psicodeeeelic

[coldboy0024]

cold. oh yeah they were there 7 days

[coldboy0024]

cold. i saw Gary Shider play this live in st.louis ten feet from the stage. clinton was laying down on stage listening.i think the whole place was in a trans. shider had on long silk socks. some dreco shoes i think. a diaper.a gold chain and nothig else. the funkadelics did two shows a night at what was the Sun Midcity. i caught two shows. cold day.

[marcusamckee]

George told Eddie to play this like his mama just died. You can tell the took that seriously, the man is pouring the ache in his soul out through his guitar.

[heavybass4ever]

zero

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

Search ''Ween - A Tear For Eaddie''

It's one of the best tributes I have listened to.

Ween are the reason why I came here in the first place.

[keenan871]

I was wondering if anyone could name a rock or psychedelic track with a similar melody as in the intro, my hunch is either a floyd or zepplin

[kknyoike]

this song caused my sister to have a catastrophic brain aneurism she died two years ago today RIP

[MrThefox3]

Who said a funk bank can't play rock & roll? It's all one nation under a groove. Maybe we can get congress to smoke a few dobies listening to this and I bet they'd work together. (ha-ha) Just kidding they'd argue over who was gong to bring the pot or who's was the best. Just a thought. No, I don't partake. Legalize this very mellow stuff and take it out of the criminal hands. People turn to hard drugs because they want to, not because they started with this.Auqa Boogie one and all

[dseviour2]

See, George, THIS is how a guitar gently weeps.

[lpthomson]

amazing. john frusciante does a fantastic cover as well--youtube Before The Beginning

[DGKopiusvybez]

whoa im 26 what hav i been listenin 2 all my life, were i been

[MillnerRyan]

Flea brought me here

[SaculNoshploda]

@MillnerRyan john frusciante brought me. Look up the empyrean "before the beginning". it's in the same exact feel of psychadelic solo over chords. Plus the first guitar bend is exactly the same. Great songs.

[scientististheshit]

i just reached nirvana !

[parkkz]

If you think this is amazing, check out some pink floyd from the 60s and 70s

[femmenocturnemusic]

pure beauty

[mortal8luv]

now i can die peacefully and let maggots eat my brain.

unfuckinglievable..oh my god

[brooklynstudio]

this is the song you play in a scene where someone trips/o.d.'s

[Remorsah]

hey i sampled this song in a beat called "Lazy Day"

check it out on my channel if you have the time

[prettymarc]

This is the first time that i have heard this...where the hell have i've been?

[ThePowell1989]

this song is why getting high should be legal

[dickrobot]

YESSSSSSSssssssssssss! 

[SaharRachamim]

the first half is like "your mum has died" while the second is like "well, she is still alive, sorry"

[sexiness941]

an annurism erupted

[raydog699]

I was 13 when a guyy w/ an enormous dck slipp'd me his dsk. Iyt lull'd me to sleeyp. Noyw I'm 31 and a half and feeliyng iyt in my wet-dreams. Thnx for the mammaries!

[tabnap64]

I can die now!

[xXZellXx]

@tabnap64 And not being able to listen this masterpiece again? o_O;

[phlypped]

all you psychodelic shoegazers who just fell off of your platforms - welcome to Maggot Brain

[nbnybeats4u]

@phlypped word i feel bad for those who didnt know eddie hazel [R.I.P.] or michael hampton,i love em both.

[phlypped]

@nbnybeats4u for me each listen is like opening a brand new box of crayons, and I've been listening for a lot of years. to me it doesn't matter how someone else rates them. It's just what they do with their instruments, that's the draw for me.

[jimigibsonhendrix]

This is the best song you will ever hear in your life trust me there is no other song on this level ..

the music the sound the joy the mystic the emotion unmatchable please play on maggot brain please play on and let us enjoy enjoy

[jimigibsonhendrix]

215 dislikes wow 215 lonley sad people with no feelings and no home and also no soul so be good and hope they get one and then they will see the amazing song called maggot brain ,,

[0Suhaki0]

@bretthejet60 It would've been hard for Hendrix to cover this. Especially that he was already dead for almost a year before this was released… I think He influenced this quite a lot. Fucking amazing!

[CatchHellsBlues]

I was shocked when they say jimi hendrix, beatles pink floyd and other artist are the best at psychodelic BITCH PLEASE! this is how the real psychodelic sounds!

[gibsonlover123]

@CatchHellsBlues this isnt psycadelic it's just a super soulful piece of music. Psycadelic is all about weird crazy soudns, and to an extend trying to soudn crazy. This isnt trying to soudn crazy this is being and feeling soulfulness. But theres probly a ton of definitions on what psycadelic is so theres no point in getting in an argument cause you or someone else could be right as well. Just letting you know my opinion

[ahuhehihause]

this orgasm gave me a guitar solo

[ahuhehihause]

this orgasm gave me a guitar solo

[SchmaexiMcMaexi]

Someone noticed that Frusciante uses exactly the same chords on cant stop?

[lorenzotosu5]

hey which one is the best version this one or the alternative version?

[WILLortheAPOCALYPSE]

@ThugLuvinGrl You need a Wah. There are different types for whatever style of music you play. I prefer the Dunlop Cry Baby series.

[ThugLuvinGrl]

When playing this on guitar how do I give it that "wa wa" sound. I CANT FIGURE IT OUT!

[mreed91]

@ThugLuvinGrl are you a moron? you need a wah-wah pedal. OMG you are ridonkulous.

[Spikyy]

@mreed91 You're even more ridicoulus answering like this...

[henrypblair]

@ThugLuvinGrl most likely some kind of pedal would do it

[GrannoBalls]

Eddie Hazel <3

[TheFuckingPanchoLira]

Listen jhon frusciante song called Before the begining... he obviously get inspired by this song!!

[roganscrib]

Is anyone else tempted to click on the "biggest zit on planet earth" video on the side?

[aceleraemataavelha]

@roganscrib

it's a fucking shame that, the best comment to this amazing song, is about a zit... just listen to this amazing piece of music. who cares about the fucking zit?

[RBP901]

Eddie Hazel >

[jonnygator63]

funkin hell awesome ........

[Felduin]

now i know where frusciantes guitar style comes from

[sabir007rock]

EARGASM VS BRAINGASM, i FUCKED MYSELF!

[ozzila123]

This song hit me like a wall of bricks, I mean, god damn that was beautiful....

[bretthejet60]

Why did Hendix, Clapton ,Page Stevie Ray, Gilmour, ever try to cover this song, Because you just can't fricken do it.

[chessinfantry]

@bretthejet60 ha, u obviously know shit about playing guitar so just shut it kid and stop acting like u know stuff

[ZombosNation]

@bretthejet60 you dont know wat ur on about !!!this came after hendrix ,,hendrix would of only improved it!!!!!!!!!!

[illegalusername]

[danswoboda]

[vistaviewsunrise]

[tsangpogorge]

[TheTako400]

Don't think, just listen.

[Wardog11111]

How have I only just heard of this guy. RIP

[Wardog11111]

Incredible

[TheRAMIFIER]

Is this the original or the alternate mix? 

[Wertical93]

so this is how melancholy overdose looks like...

[MrBankerz]

i never say that.. but now i really dont understand how come 211 people didnt like this .... :S

[yacmo87]

Meilleur music a écouter en faisant lamour avant de dormir !!!

[bretthejet60]

Every night on Friday's at midnight on WMMS. Still one of the greatest songs and lead guitar in history!

[johnanon1]

I feel as though I have found music. In all its glory, built on a core of emotion so strong you feel it in your very bones. electricity crawling its way across your skin, a ice breeze raising the hairs on the back of your neck as even they stand up in encore for the very meaning of sound. Long live Maggot Brain.

[nighteatingyou]

this is just amazing...

[junsonius]

so...this is funk outside of brazil? AMAZING!!!

I'm from Brazil. and here funk is just some bitches shaking their asses while some retard plays a bunch of "sounds", not music. Search brazilian funk and see for yourself, its ridiculous.

[ploc777]

@junsonius talvez você devesse ler um pouco mais sobre a cultura do funk no Brasil. Como surgiu, os grandes nomes e os (trágicos, pra mim) acontecimentos que resultaram no surgimento do "funk carioca". A Funk Music brasileira tem coisas lindas. Pesquise mais antes de criticar seu país e incentivar dessa forma, sem conhecimento ou base alguma, para que estrangeiros façam o mesmo. Google mandou um abraço!

[Grubi1990]

Wah wah :D this sound makes me think about jimi hendrix

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

I was brought here by Ween. Look up their song called Capitan from their Quebec album. It's very very very good and a lot like this. I guess it's Ween's tribute to this song.

[mutley2209]

i like how in the description it says slideshow when there clearly isn't one, i'm guessing the epic nine minute solo distracted you from making it, understandable

[Xjoyce80]

I was 13 years old when a guy with an enormous disk collection gave me a tape with this masterpiece in it to guide me to appreciate music in all its forms. It used to be my lullaby song for so many yaers in my teenage days. Now I'm 31 and this finding brings back so many memories. Thank you so much for the upload!!!!

[SHAADZJEE]

@Xjoyce80 Dammit, I read 'I was 13 years old when a guy with an enormous DICK...'

then i stopped reading.

[hbanaan]

@Xjoyce80 Read it wrong. Read it as guy with an enormous dick. damn pornography nowadays :@

[Aisteaak]

@hbanaan haha same here :D

[Xjoyce80]

@hbanaan @SHAADZJEE oh my god!!! Thats was huge!! :) People stop watching so much porn. Seriously? Next time I use the word vinyl just to be sure. I just can't stop laughing!! :D

[Shevy1958]

@Xjoyce80

I was sixteen when I first heard this, and now I'm 53 and I still love it♥

[Skrutskini]

I'm finding it impossible to understand how anyone can not like this song..

[nachosnbeer]

How you suppose to play that song twice

[MahvidsFTW]

@nachosnbeer Play bass.

[theberto]

what is the chords progression??? this is so inspirign!!!

[ploc777]

God..., I felt to hear this, you must be prepared. I'm not sure if I was ... really a very intense experience for me. (sorry by the bad english, i just needed to talk this).

[janlaureys9]

@ploc777 Your english is pretty good, don't worry !

[stryder10171]

first heard this on an episode of House, been addicted to this song since

[Hecklerkoch223]

@stryder10171 Same here, great tune!!!

[TheSpearsProductions]

When the fuzz starts to really break up at 7:30 to 8:00 I zone out and feel so much emotion at one time, my entire body feels numb..

[AspireHigher420]

And this is why I hate it when people say lyrics are more important than music. If a picture says a thousand words, then a piece of music is like a photo album.

[MsTinaLatina]

@AspireHigher420  Verryyy well said.

[bray12do]

@AspireHigher420 Speaking is the most important parts of songs, bacause it's the part that communicates to us. Beautiful songs are beautiful for communication. But speaking could be A human voice, or just as well if not better sometimes, an instrument. Eddie Hazel's guitar speaks in such passion. It may aswell be spitting words too.

[QGfk1]

@bray12do Lyrics are a side effect of music. Only in post-jazz contemporary music did a vocal part become common in most musical works. For most of history, vocal works were only part of the repertoire like any other. Music is a language, it communicates on a much more fundamental level than any other.

[PotterBsyeah1]

@AspireHigher420 That was deep man

[12345fcb]

@AspireHigher420 the epitome of why people say music these days isnt really music. God bless

[NervRulz]

story of my life.

[ikraler22]

i´m dead?

[DickThicky]

i use to look at this cover when i was young and get scared because all that was left of the lady was a skull

[littleBrownDwarf]

Bitches love pancakes.

[mrMister01987]

please don't stop, this is so good!

[kiss4u19]

if your wondering, where's the other minute, the lyrics in the beginning, and why the fuck is this so quiet, please go to the [HQ] version.

[Machiventa]

211 people need to be detained and forced to listen to this on repeat until they reform. Or just raped.

[deekante]

Fuck....

[WeDieYoung1991]

Holy shit.

[Ttimus1]

Have you ever eard a guitar crying ? No ?

then listen maggot brain.

[bucketfan4life]

Who COULD dislike this song?! This is pure emotion incarnate!

[rfrehsner]

satriani how else!!

[RiccardoMartins]

@rfrehsner what do you mean? Sorry for the ignorance :x

[rfrehsner]

satriani

[pinKstarzx]

fantastic

[pearljamporch]

I want a Memory Man

[CaptianBlindfold]

i experienced more in this song than i have in some movies. funkadelic'll never die.

[wayneiac1789]

eddie hazel...thats it



[ted126000]

I pray you tube wont delete this gem.

[kornday66]

What song by infected mushroom so you play along with this?

[Zoso9689]

@kornday66 that would be Heavyweight. Realll heady song bro

[BigTiggaR]

listened to this at 5am or some shit...high and drunk, it was good

[RubenFrankinPusslemo]

We all want it to go on forever. But at some point, it must stop. So we can live. Cleanse the body to reach the soul. Getting loaded isn't the answer, my brother. In gutters you lye. It'll never be enough. Time doesn't stop just cause you fly. Each high, do you remember or just the feeling? All the good times, It is too late to learn the nice way and moments are past. All has past on. And when you're there with me. At the bottom of the top, grieving and trying to love

[zep2zap]

@RubenFrankinPusslemo Just take it for what it is, Bro'. It's a gem left for others to find. Forget what kind of fuel he was on. It came from Eddie Hazel. Poured out of him like sweat.It's beautiful!

[nawmmbr]

There is no other song like this, if there is post the name!

[MrVault13Dweller]

@nawmmbr

Well, every song is unique in it's own special way, but i think ''Before The Beginning'', ''At your enemies'', ''Communique'' or ''Echoes'' are as emotional as this one :D

[nawmmbr]

@MrVault13Dweller THANKS! I'll check these out! Happy New Year to you!

[jackskellingtonation]

This is considered funk??? :O

[imariong981]

@jackskellingtonation actually this is more like psychedelic rock ;)

[KIDAmnesiacBends]

@jackskellingtonation

yea they took a lot of acid

[hellboundsanta]

No matter how bad life sucks, this jam can bring things to clarity.

[NoFeelinzNSD]

[judiemojo]

[jackbotman]

Im currently learning this song...but I just cant get that something right that is needed to make it this perfect...could be that im missing the 20K guitar:/

[frufrukurtjim]

@jackbotman its prob just a strat or a les paul...expensive but not 20k

[jackbotman]

@frufrukurtjim Lol ya prob not but the 20k was more for dramatic effect :)

[ZoodiakMusic]

one of the most awsome things ive ever heard!

[streamsofciaina]

One of the best guitar solo i ever heard..simply wonderful..

[4koot]

reminds me alot of bucketheads soothsayer mixed with padmasana
