Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

A work of art and the birth of what is now called ACID ROCK....

maggot brian is the hardest rock song ever written

This 1971 rock/funk song is legendary, with arguably one of the best guitar solos in music history, by a relatively unknown guitarist, Eddie Hazel. Jimi Hendrix was already gone by the time this song was completed, and I'm almost positive that Hendrix was a major influence for Hazel, I'll bet Jimi Hendrix would've liked this too, R.I.P. Eddie Hazel, gone, but not forgotten.

George Clinton told him to play the first half of the song like he just found out his mother was dead... and the second half like he just found out she was still alive....

Cool, I appreciate you posting this. Your's is the only version on youtube that I found which was not an edited version. The other couple versions omitted the "Mother Earth is pregnant....." dialogue and went right into the music. Thanks for your posting . It also has the best quality sound on it as well.

Probably the most beautiful song ive ever heard

I am only 29 but I know about parliament, parlet, funkadelic, and all that. I've been listening to it since I was born. This is by far some of the most deep shit I ever heard

Have U heard the live version recorded in 1971 at Meadowbrooks, Rochester, Michigan?

Such a masterpiece.
