Finally, Eddie Hazel will get more of the credit and recognition he deserves. Maggot Brain really is amazing. He played as if his mother died and made an eternal piece of music
I read the title and said to myself "If he's not talking about Maggot Brain, he's wrong". I'm actually surprised because it's amazing how many people don't even know about this gem. Glad you didn't disappoint. Huge thanks!
This wasn't a guitar solo. It was the spirit of a generation crying out as their dreams were taken from them. It chose Eddie's guitar as its voice on that particular day.
If you enjoy Maggot Brain and Hazel’s work with Funkadelic, his solo album “Games Dames and Guitar Thangs” and particularly his version of California Dreamin’ is definitely worth a listen.
(Allan Holdsworth fans all raise their eyeborows...)
I've surreptitiously snuck this song into my playlist when friends are over and it never fails to garner a "what is this?" comment. They are always surprised and love it because they've never heard it before. Glad you drew attention to such a great rock guitar solo, I hope more people hear it.
I came here fully ready to angrily say "No. The greatest was Maggot Brain." Thank you.
That spoken word intro was so apocalyptic. Just pain and meditation. The greatest bit of guitar that I ever heard.
Glad you chose to analyze this song. Easily one of if not the most heartfelt, soulful guitar playing I've ever heard.
All maggot brain enjoyers, I have 2 songs for y’all to listen to that really encapsulate Eddie hazels magic, a tear for Eddie by ween, live and studio. You will not be disappointed. And before the beginning by John frusciante. They’re both tributes to maggot brain by beautiful musicians.
Eddie Hazel deserves way more attention than he gets from music heads. Same with James Jamerson from the Funk Brothers. That man created dozens of the most classic Motown bass lines.
Beautiful eulogy for an incredible player. Maggot Brain has gotta be one of the most raw and emotional musical performances ever recorded, Eddie Hazel may be dead but he will be remembered forever
Eddie was otherworldly. Breakdown, Friday Night August 14th, Maggot Brain, Hit It and Quit It, Wars of Armageddon, I’ll Stay, etc. Prolific player and only emotion elicited. We miss you forever, Eddie
Ima need a Bootsy Collins video now bro. He was one of the more creatives of Funkadelic and brought tons of influence from James Brown to the band.
Excellent essay. Me and some of the guys on my dorm floor would take turns introducing each other to good music late Saturday nights my freshman year. My roommate was HEAVY into Funkadelic so I heard this song repeatedly. Growing up in the 60's and attending college in the 70's I can identify with everything said in this video.
Great tribute to an unsung and largely unknow guitar hero. Just one note: Parliament didn't stop to exist when Funkadelic were born. The two bands had parallel careers, on different labels, throughout the 70' with Parliament being more horn based soul-funk and Funkadelic being more guitar based rock-funk. The musicians were the same for the most part and live, songs from both bands were performed, usually under the P-Funk all stars name.
This solo doesn’t get as much love and attention as it should. It makes me feel as if the cord was cut on my astronaut suit and as I float into my last few moments, I see the sun and peacefully float away to the other side. Eddie, may your name always be great, your mind always found gorgeous grooves and your peace great.
Eddie Hazel is my all times favourite guitarist and this is one of my favourite pieces of music. For anyone who might be hearing about him for the first time here, you should definitely check out his solo album Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs. It's very much in the vein of Funkadelic, and I think it's one the highest moments in music history for the electric guitar
found this song randomly during the peak of an acid trip 2 years ago and it's been my favourite song ever since.
I still remember the first time I heard this. I had just started to play guitar and discovered this by accident. My mind was blown, this was such a journey. Great solo and great song
