Yes the band was out of it I mean usually Bernie is on point but even he doesn't fit in George did the right thing but still this is aust hear for true fans who always wanted to hear how Eddie sounded with the original band After a few listen the Oriental keyboards grow in you don't know what was going on inside Bernie's mind lol
Explanation: This is the original song. It was supposed to be like this but after hearing the Guitar solo he decided to just fade everyone else out and focus on it. Personally, I like this as a different song. The other instruments change the mood, make it a completely different song.
...as a historical perspective...this is actually, unless i'm mistaken, the original version of this song...according to anything i've ever read, the rest of the band was high and off, so they faded everything but Eddie, Tawl and the percussionist and history was made, or unmade, or faded, or whatever...i don't prefer this version to the one that i've grown up with either, but if Maggot Brain wasn't meant to have a band playing, it wouldn't have one now.
BEEN A TRUE FUNKATEER 4 40 + YRS. JUST SEEN LAST MONTH AT DTE N DET. FIRST TIME SEEN N DET AT EDGEWATER PARK. I WAS 14YRS OLD. RECORDED AT DTE CONCERT THIS SONG I LIKE THEM BOTH. FREE UR MIND N UR ASS WILL FOLLOW.
I'm sure YOU don't know... Spotify is not related with the decision of which songs are there, obviously they wish they had them all. It's the song's owner the one who doesn't want the 3 extra tracks of this album in Spotify. NOW you know.
I read somewhere that this version is the actual one take original!!! GC took out the kalimba and softened the rest of the percussion to bring out the guitar.
not gonna lie, i actually like this version more. except the drums are irritatingly loud at some parts does anybody know if funkadelic recorded the entire band without eddie so george could'nt have turned the just the drums down if he wanted to
The story behind this was George Clinton told Eddie Hazel "your mom died cbs gotta finish the track", the man cried thru his guitar and Clinton yo Eddie "that's the emotion I was looking for!"
Not bad but the other version is better George omitting the band and focusing on Eddie made it the classic we live today the problem is that tiki sounds like he's about to nod out and I love Bernie but it sounds odd that he's doing some Oriental vibes it doesn't go with what Eddie's doing and who thought it was a good idea to put a cowbell in the mix props to George for phasing the others but this is a cool version
i love this version so much more and it fits into the suggestion george clinton gave hazel before he played... and no mindless ramblings at the beginning of the song. you da man, eddie!
It sounds like this version had the guitar recorded first and the drums and bass after. Sloppy timing that you don’t really notice or care about in the original
You're welcome, also maybe you should check other Frusciante stuff, he's genius musician :) or mine tribute to both of these songs :D /watch?v=FGja2lkmkVg
I love original funkadelic as a unit but this jam session this is wack the band was high as hell and tiki isnt on tune with the rest of the band bernie cool but his playing should have been in another recording by himself his playing doesnt match eddies playing george did the right thing fading tjem out
I don't get it. This makes me angry. An unholy thing to do. Every cymbal makes me feel really angry,. I can't wait til it's finished. There it's over, finally! THUMBS DOWN. I hated most of this.
I can hear how the rest of the band helped shape the solo, but Clinton made the right call: nothing going on here is as important as the guitar.
Wow, such cringe...

Why the hell did it became unavailable on Spotify?
i try to listen and they deleted it, fuck
yeahhhh i was wondering too i thought my account region had something to do with that
THIS! I was so pissed.
And apple

I feel like i'm the only person in the world that like this version better.
Not the only one. I just love this version more, because it feels much more structered. The rhythem is lost in the album version in my opinion.
Same. If you remove the context, the what are you left with?
No you're not. My fav too
this is the better version it needs the drums
this is the director’s cut for the hardcore fans... you’re not alone ;¬)
I honestly prefer the guitar without all the delay added on. You can hear the smaller details in Eddie's playing.
I have always connected with this and if I try to play along the tears flow
Yes I have also. It's as if every bit of sadness I ever felt in my life is in this song.
I like both versions! I prefer this mix, but hearing the main version first made me appreciate all the greatness here.
This version feels like more of a journey somehow, fucking gorgeous either way
Both versions are amazing!
Magnificent musicians, a work of art in music.
I love this version so much more ❤❤❤ when them shrooms kick in this song sends outta space 😂😂😂😂🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

Did he really record the solo with the band and they stripped it down? The drumming seems a little... loose haha. But maybe the drugs explain that
@@kh2freek LOL!.....Says a W.H.I.T.E. boy who doesn't know rhythm
this reaches my soul , much love to my friend George who passed way to young
One of my favorite songs! Takes me someplace spirigetically....
That cowbell wrecks the feel. And I usually love cowbell.
This & the orig version are purrfuct!
My personal favourite song 🎶
The isolated backing track aka original hits like the end of a movie or something. This one is fire too hearing the bass line

That xylophone at 4:20
It's not a xylophone, it's an analog synth, probably an ARP.
1971 funk is still strong!!!!!!!!
The goosebumps! They're killing me! In the words of David Thorne's cats...."I FUCKING LOVE THIS TRACK!"
Wow, just freaking wow.😲
Fuck Spotify. If you know you know.
What happened?
I'm sure YOU don't know... Spotify is not related with the decision of which songs are there, obviously they wish they had them all. It's the song's owner the one who doesn't want the 3 extra tracks of this album in Spotify. NOW you know.
Bernie killed it
Alt mix is so fire. Og cut is good too but this is funky
I read somewhere that this version is the actual one take original!!! GC took out the kalimba and softened the rest of the percussion to bring out the guitar.
Love.
very very well............................................................
the soul of eddie was crying when he made this song
Please elaborate on how you got to that conclusion. I'm curious.
not only my fav, that tune has superpowers on me
that bass 6:18
not gonna lie, i actually like this version more. except the drums are irritatingly loud at some parts
does anybody know if funkadelic recorded the entire band without eddie so george could'nt have turned the just the drums down if he wanted to
This version is good, but the original version is more darker and eerier..
I like this one better :) but they both great
wow, it's really euphoric:)
Why'd they have to remove this version off of spotify man....
I wonder the same
oh FUCK!!!! i listend to the album all the way through? already?
hol up lemme listen to it again
The story behind this was George Clinton told Eddie Hazel "your mom died cbs gotta finish the track", the man cried thru his guitar and Clinton yo Eddie "that's the emotion I was looking for!"
Undeniably wonderful. I don't own this record, but will one day :)
Jamie Tregurtha 10 years later .. hope you got the record .
update did u ever get this joint ???
Jimi Hendrix would have jammed with this band. Magnificent!
Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Hazel, Prince and Ernie Isley are just some of the greatest black rock guitarist of all time.
Give me maggot for breakfast, maggot brain all day
Reminds me of darkness on a stunt motorcycle, everyone says who, until they see it!
Anyone know why they removed this song off Spotify etc?
Needs more cowbell
I'll take either version as long as it's these two greats
Woah this chord sequence reminds me of "Wolf At the Door" by Radiohead
Thanku
Play, Boy!!💯
Caps lock is a cruise control for cool, but even with cruise control on, you still have to steer.
thankyou thankyou
Not bad but the other version is better George omitting the band and focusing on Eddie made it the classic we live today the problem is that tiki sounds like he's about to nod out and I love Bernie but it sounds odd that he's doing some Oriental vibes it doesn't go with what Eddie's doing and who thought it was a good idea to put a cowbell in the mix props to George for phasing the others but this is a cool version

1971 funk is still strong
BEst song ever!!!!!! Motherf...ing
written!
Nothing like the original😍❤
Adventure mix
It sounds like this version had the guitar recorded first and the drums and bass after. Sloppy timing that you don’t really notice or care about in the original
I see why George took out the other musicians.
He didn't take them out lol
@@ThisBirdHasFlown from the final mix, fool.
+1
Whoever made the choice to isolate Eddie's guitar from the clusterfuck of sounds going on around him definetely made a great choice
agreed. this is the only version i had heard before today. the other version is madness compared to this.....
@@pelotasdad I think you're on a different page to sunsetman there mate
That would be a certain Geo. Clinton. And I agree.
This is much better than the original
Am I dead? Am I in heaven?
Why the hate?
any songs that are similar to this? by same artist or different would be great!
John Frusciante - Before the beginning :) this is actually trubute to Maggot Brain, hope you'll enjoy it
thank you so much!
You're welcome, also maybe you should check other Frusciante stuff, he's genius musician :)
or mine tribute to both of these songs :D
/watch?v=FGja2lkmkVg
Look up Eddie Hazel and Buckethead
good thoughts bad thoughts by the same artist
also like someone already said eddie hazel's solo stuff, and before the beginning
"Wonderland"
The better version with drums
and the bongos
gas
The Good Die Mostly Over Bullshyt
On bad speakers this version sounds way better
I'm 53? and just found this ? WTF?
Same here, WTF is right.
Big deal, I'm SEVENTY (how did that happen?) and just found it. But prefer other version musically.
I love original funkadelic as a unit but this jam session this is wack the band was high as hell and tiki isnt on tune with the rest of the band bernie cool but his playing should have been in another recording by himself his playing doesnt match eddies playing george did the right thing fading tjem out
This is quite bad. Kudos to Geo. Clinton for fixing it.
I don't get it. This makes me angry. An unholy thing to do. Every cymbal makes me feel really angry,. I can't wait til it's finished. There it's over, finally! THUMBS DOWN. I hated most of this.
lol ok
Hey Robbie it's been 9 years but I gotta ask do you still hate this version?
@@duppy404 I haven't played it again.
wtf there are zero cymbals in this lol ??
Ya know, you can press STOP PLAY any old time you feel like.
Why is this version not available anywhere? 🥲
