Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time, for 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.
Can't forget about Mike Hampton"s contribution to this song and others once EH left Funkadelic, he's another great guitar player that tends to get forgotten about
I actually partied with George and Eddie back in the day before and after the maggot brain show. They were absolute class! Eddie would be so moved by your ability!
wow! goosebumps! i guess the reason you have many guitars is that they got to rest a long time when they re being played like that, it feels like you’re taking everything the guitar can give you. I’m so impressed by how you can play 20 minutes and never sound repetitive and include different technics but never sound like it’s for showing off, everything is here for a reason. Bravo Dave, Im glad youtube exist for people like you to share their talent to the world. (English isn’t my native language, sorry if there are mistakes in my writing)
I can't tell you how many times I've listened to your last cover of this from a couple years ago. I absolutely live for it. But you really cranked it to 11 here, Dave. Good show, old boy.
Dave, why haven't you had the recognition you deserve? What's happening here people? This man deserves to be on the World's stage! Surely someone with influence is watching? Man, watching you work is just mindblowing! I, like many others, have favourite bands and artists through the years that I listen to. Some are good, some are real good. But you, Sir, are a true inspiration, an artist. Don't stop Dave, keep going! All the best x
Bloody hell mate! That's the best cover I've ever heard of Maggot Brain.... absolutely brilliant! Even had a tear in my eye at a couple of parts! Wonderful!!
I visit your channel every once in a while just to listen to your previous cover of this song. I didn't expect that you'll make another, but I'm glad you did. This one really goes hard, especially the ending. I hope you continue to cover this song from time to time.
I watched your previous version of some 5 years ago. I'm afraid to admit just how many decades ago I first heard what I considered to be the greatest guitar instrumental ever conceived. I noticed that you have great command playing the feedback as Gary Moore displayed in many of his classic live renditions. Thanks.
If something ever deserved a like and subscription, then this is that something. If I had any Tilbury Docks on, you would have blown them off into orbit! One of my all time faves and arguably the best cover version of it; some going is that. Thank you man! Sharing now.
You, Frusciante, Eddie Hazel, Hillel, and Hendrix, are the reason I will NEVER get rid of my 2015 Olympic White American Special Strat. So many inspirations to keep me going. Cheers.
And I’m back here again…. It’s been a shitty week so far and I need a release, so I’m listening again while pacing up and down with a tear in my eye and a huge grin on my face. Thank you once more! 😊🙏

Now you've gone and done it 😢 As a massive Parliament/Funkadelic fan... This is my absolute favourite guitar piece. It never fails to reduce me to tears. Dave you cover this and add so much as other have said here. Just a masterful recreation but still yours never just a copy. You lift it to new heights. This was stunning. I missed your cover if this before? What an absolute treat to see this on my You Tube feed today. You are a very, very special talent Dave. Just superb. I'm in pieces 😭❤️ ✊👏❤️
Awesome- just awesome. I remember discovering Maggot Brain all those years ago. I sat in my shop playing it over and over again - for days. You always show so much respect for the originals but still manage to add something of yourself. RESPECT
I recently watched some of your videos on messing with the fretboard and just learning how scales connect in a natural way. I've recently started playing with my looper and noodling over the Maggot Brain chords (funny coincidence), and I've finally started to see things connecting. I appreciate the way you describe what music is to you and offer your own pieces of advice with that context.
Man, you're one with the guitar, this is really beautiful to watch. I can't imagine how much of your life you've invested playing, is amazing Dave. Thanks.
I recall some years back you playing this. It's always been a fav track of mine...love Funkadelic! Anyway something has happened... You've either improved your awesome playing outta site or you've just taken the emotion of this track to another level. I'm going with the latter option. Smashed it out.. . Superb Dave! 🔥
I asked you aout shredding the other day. You said it's not really your thing but you did give us a little explanation. Dude. You shred. You know exactly when and how to and how to make it feel SO good!!!!! God I love your playing man.
I've never listened to this before, but it's easy to see where the inspiration for John's "Before the Beginning" came from. I don't think I can add anything that hasn't already been said by others, loved it.
Truly at one with it. The moment, the note, the flow, the feel. Love it brother. Its the one thing no one can fake. Its real and touches you and that is all that matters. Everything else is just noise. Crank it up, bend it hard and smooth and let it rip through your soul and make your heart cry.
I had never heard of Eddie or maggot brain until I saw your last cover vid a few years ago. I listen to the original on a regular basis now. Time to zone out and enjoy this vid. 🔥 🔥 🔥

You have never played better. This is absolutely a lifetime performance.
I’ll second that… until Dave goes one better! 👍
Dave doing Maggot Brain. I'm all over this.🤘
The great Eddie Hazel given the respect deserved - well done!

Well said! 👏👏👏
That's what I call balm for the soul.
It's always a pleasure to listen to you
Back again….. this and a cold one are just spot on right now! 😊🍻
Didn’t think I could love this piece of music more than I already did, but I do. Incredible, moving and cathartic.
You've just blown my funkadelicking socks off.🔥💥💯
Absolutely 💯 😮
Jesus Dave, this is good.
Once again ,another masterpiece....
Unreal. Not going to stop practicing guitar until I can do this
Dave you really are an incredible guitar player.
That was exceptional, absolutely loved it.
Wow! Just wow! Could listen to this for hours

The emotion you put into this one is just otherworldly, fantastic homage to the original!
Isn't it 😢❤

Good gravy Dave.... You are surfing within your higher self on this one!!!!
Howly crap! This is way beyond goosebumps. What a roller coaster of emotions! You really gave it all. Thank you Dave! You are a legend.
Awesome- just awesome. I remember discovering Maggot Brain all those years ago. I sat in my shop playing it over and over again - for days. You always show so much respect for the originals but still manage to add something of yourself. RESPECT

Superb…RIP Eddie Hazel…well done once again Dave…outstanding!
The living legend Dave Simpson my head was in another Galaxy👽🌌 this one was awesome!! Goosebump Again! Great respect Dave!
Incredible playing dude
Absolutely fantastic
A true master of dynamics, as well as skills I would die for. Absolutely KILLER Dave!
Dave Simpson + Maggot Brain : it's a simple equation, Brain explosion for sure. Thumbs UP.
Eddie Hazel laid this down in 1971…one year before I was born…but I’ve never seen anyone cover it like this.
I’ve been listening to your cover from about 5 years ago religiously. This is awesome to have a new version
Oh my god. Legend! Absolutely gripped and along for the ride. Outstanding sir outstanding!!!!!
This song is such a psycadelic masterpiece! And i can't think of anyone better to do a tribute verision of it than you Dave ! Absolutly love it
Simply amazing,
Yes! Beautiful! .....x

Outstanding as usual Dave! this one was out of this world!!
funkadelic is totally an inspiration for his rhcp children, john brings this style a lot in before the beginning and on his album the empyrean
This touches and explores the essence of what true music is all about...well done Dave..!!..🎶🎸🎶
Unreal absolutely brilliant!!
