I love to see a musician who feels his music so physically!
Thanks! It's important to feel it. Without passion, its hollow and meaningless.
Michael Weber yes!
Now that's how you play period
Yes!!!!
That fuckin drumer though...
From the grave...A smile just formed on Eddie's face...
That means a lot. Thanks!
Yes Sir!!!
Yup
a street junkie played the lead
karl adamuszak really dumb ass comment
As someone said somewhere “if they don’t play Maggot Brain at my funeral, I ain’t going”. Amen
he gone somewhere else just look at his eyes no longer on planet earth, he is now the music.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Go son go .....
Michael Weber ! Phenom does not do u justice my friend !
Wow he is music....
He went to psychedelia bro 😂
I love MAGGOT BRAIN. I've heard thousands of versions. THIS is Great.
That means a lot to me!
Yes check out violin 🎻 version also by some lady.
Michael Weber you rock man! 🎸🎶🎼🎧
You rock that shit man, best song ever.
100% agree.
You can study a sound all you want, but to get it that close takes emotion and extreme talent.
Congrats.
This is absolutely incredible. Ive seen many guitarists try to cover this song, and Eddie is much like Jimi, and you really can't recreate their work. You can only interpret it with the right feeling, tone, and emotion. Michael does that in spades.
Those facial expressions come from the notes hitting the soul. Reminds me of Carlos Santana. This is one of the greatest songs I've ever or will ever hear. It, at one point, took everything out of me, than gave me everything I needed at the time very few songs can bring you down and pick you up. It's like magic.
Agreed.
I've always made those faces playing and even hearing righteous licks!
You're right, it's when you're connecting to the notes and vibing with that primal human element of music that connects all races, peoples, and tongues. You can't help but just jam out and that's a full-body experience! 😎
Yep, compare that to Buckethead, he can play the same thing without ever blinking an eye ;-)
💯
I typically make the most worst cringy faces whenever I really get into it. If im playing it loudly, expect a weird face.😵💫
9 months later that guitar had a baby 🎸
A+ for the facial expressions alone lol.
Haha thanks!
Yeah love to see that feeling
At first I wondered "I didn't know Jim Carrey played guitar."
Wonderful solo.
The fact this doesn’t have millions of views is nothing short of criminal. When true talent doesn’t get the recognition it deserves... it’s deeply upsetting.
Bro this still doesn't have a million views, whyyyyyyyyy, it doesn't make any sense
So spread the word! Help a talented musician out!
@@Amethys12 let's do this man
The kid can PLAY! Maggot Brain is one of my all-time favorite songs and he killed it. Excellent.
If lsd became a person this guy would be it.
Haha!
Funny you say that. While watching this I was thinking I used to do a lot of drugs to reach here. Now, all I have to do is go to RUclips. That weed on my counter is superfluous.
@@MichaelWeber dude..you were on fire..the best cover of maggot brain ive heard so far..hats off
This song was written by two guys tripping lsd together. We wouldnt have thissong w.o lsd. Just like if null gate n Steve jobs disnt take lsd we wouldnt have internet. Our brains are the keyhole and lsd is the key. Even on a molecular level it looks like a key going into a perfectly shaped key hole. Check it out lol.
Wow what magic love it
This is it my child , you got it.Maggot Brain is explanation of present moment through emotion channeled through a guitar. The reason people can't nail this song is because you can't recreate the emotion Hazel felt at that moment he played it , yoi nailed it and you made your own version. It's your state on that stage that was put in notes , let it pour out of you. I take my hat of to you.
Thanks so much! It means a lot.
Omg. You are special, man. So much feel. Nothing but admiration. Your version reminded me of why I fell in love with this song so many years ago. Cheers.
What a performance. IN-FUCKING-CREDIBLE. One of the BEST Maggot Brain covers I have ever seen.
Actually, maybe the best and most passionate/spirited version I've ever seen or heard for real. Eddie would be proud, and you play it much better than Michael does now. Just my honest opinion.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
View crazy drummer , dude has a shit ton of passion. You're welcome
BEST I'VE SEEN IN A AWFUL LONG TIME
Michael Weber You like John Frusciante or Mick Taylor?
Awesome version btw
Thats funny... and yes , your opinion
You are absolutely meant to play guitar. There's no doubt in my mind the universe and the Earth Mother have blessed you with the gift.
Watching in 2022 from Oak Cliff, TX ❤
I just saw this amazing musician perform in Warren Ohio. With his musical prowess, stage presence and top-notch band, he's clearly destined for great things. And he was nice enough to stick around for a meet-and-greet.
Did that guitar owe you some money? ???...that was incredible !!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
i usually dont like when someone tries too much on stage but for some reason this dude manage to transform the notes into pictures...as for the play i think its better than anything i heard out there
Thanks for the kind words!
I'm getting this "why on earth did Gary Moore never cover this?" Feeling when hearing this. Love it!
That's because the world isn't ready for that yet . When the rapture comes to take those chosen few it will begin with heavens opening up as Gary Moore plays his angelic version of this piece. I can see/hear it now... simply beautiful.
@@Herm.Q-92 Gary's Incredible
I've seen Michael Hampton perform this in LA and London 1978-79 I thought I had seen the best, that has now changed. Thank you young man for making an old man very happy.
Anyone can copy a great song, let him be called great after he has written his own hit.
Outside of the original, and the Michael Hampton version this is the best I've seen. From 3:00-4:20 just makes me want to cry. Excellent work. I was moved.
Thanks so much. The kind words mean a lot to me!
Holy shitballs !!! Brilliant mate, ignore the negative stuff, you ripped the soul out of that thing, kicked it's ass and set it on fire. Great job !!
That kindness means a lot. Thanks!
Possessed in a GREAT WAY!!! BEAUTIFUL MAN!!!
The literal representation of when the music possesses you ✨✨✨✨✨✨
Are you freaking kidding me? Absolutely amazing!!! I cannot stop playing this video. And to be honest with you I must have been living under a rock my entire life because I am 37 years old a lover of rock and roll and blues and today is the first time I've ever heard this song. Thank you so much for opening my eyes to this amazing amazing song and your amazing talent.
This is the best version of maggot brain on youtube, honestly, phenomenal michael! I played this clip about 50 times in the past week
I was skeptical coming in. How can someone possibly play Maggot Brain? Bravo! Killed it!
Thanks so much!
This is fantastic!! There have been many excellent covers of Maggot Brain. My personal view tho is Who Conceived It ?? There are many artists today who could probably paint the Mona Lisa better than the original...But, could they Conceive it? Could they reach down in their soul and CREATE it?? Therefore, IMHO, Eddie Hazel' s original piece is the GREATEST.
@@jamesbondjr.85 of course it is idiot but this kid did a great job. I don't think he was trying to take anything away from the legend that is Eddie Hazel! Just because one feels a song and wants to play it with all their heart and soul doesn't make them an impersonating attention grabbing Devil
@@jamesbondjr.85 Do u even CONCEIVE the idea of how long this man spent to learn this and create his version just to show his respects. He obviously respects this song. Let an artist paint.
Check out Harold Beane's version.
When I was in High School, WMMS radio Cleveland would play this song very very late on Friday nights and I knew I needed to go home pronto! Love your work on this!!!!
ABSOLUTELY MESMERIZING VERSION OF MAGGOT BRAIN 😎😎👍👍
I am 66, and freakin love this song and this guy is giving me the a blast.
This man did what most men don't have the balls to do. Absolutely amazing!!!
Awesome, fantastic....loss for words.The spirit of Eddie Hazel is happy to see this.
Thanks a lot!
Beautifully put, such as it was rendered.
Michael Webber I have seen this song performance live twice and you definitely did Justice and Homage to the Classic. RIP Eddie Hazel salute Blackbyrd McKnight, Kid funkadelic, Ricky Rouse!!!!
Thanks so much!
Dude has some serious feeling in that song. Great song, but I love the guitar in this one, well done for sure 👍
I should add that I listen to a TON of Joe Satriani, Andy Timmons, Vai, Van Halen, Beck, Hendrix, etc., and this is sadly the first time I'm hearing of this guy. Definitely going to be watching more. Great performance!
Ok people, I've been big on Maggot Brain since it was a bonus disk in my Parliament Live Album way back in the 70's. I've heard lots of covers, I've read lots of comments. This by far is one of the best covers I've heard. I'll just repeat the best comment I've read about this song. Someone said this Death begging God to spare someone's life.
How can some comments be so negative. We should not expect somebody to play something exactly like the original recording and it's not their own. He made it his own. Let's face it the young man is talented and still has further to go. Play on my young friend. To all those with negative comments post yourself playing this please.
He is the music and the music is he.,,,,,,That was magical brother
Never heard of Michael Weber before but this version of Maggot Brian gonna make me investigate him some more!
Wow ! You killed it ... No word can express that feeling you just gave me , thank alot man!
Style, Tone, Technique, and most importantly, FEEL. Hope you continue your journey through the realm of music!
EinSofVirtuoso Thanks so much!
Thumbs up 👍 very impressive solo..Eddie Hazel would be so proud young guy. A Funkadelic moment in history! ************ can't give you enough stars for perfection!! Gone!
This my all time favorite version. This and buckethead is all my RUclips consist of. Thanks Michael I play this everyday an downloaded it jus in case it ever gets deleted
0:21
He's like the Freddie mercury version of Jimi Hendrix
MrCTruck Thanks, man!
TRUE
More like the Axl Rose version of Freddie Mercury
"And once more with commitment" :) Your finest hour dude.
Just saw him last night @ Rockin on The River, Lorain Ohio. Amazing talent, future is his to command...I think we will hear his music many years to come. Quite the experience.
ROBERT The KJ Rob Thanks so much for coming out the show and for the kind words!
I would have loved to hear Prince's take on it.
Indeed!
Oh yeah prince. Jimi and of course Eddie dug that.you can bet on that!
Me too
No doubt!!!!!! Prince is the Man when it comes to music. Have you ever heard Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers?......Highly recomended...
I was just surfing through the various live versions of the various Clinton/Funkadelic versions over the years and had just commented to myself on how none of them could touch the original. Then, I saw yours and clicked on it...why have I not seen or heard of you before this? I do not make youtube comments but was compelled to say something about this. Someone below said that Eddie and Mike are somewhere smiling...they might be just a bit jealous, too. The original recording is still the bomb, but you do it some serious justice! Will keep an eye and an ear out for more. You must do some Hendrix as well. Hope I find it. ThanX, you made my ears happy.
@Boris Boef I'm here because of the Lili Haydn version. She smoked it
@Boris Boef Not bad! Hot! Thanks for pointing me toward them.
Out of all covers I heard of maggot brain this one's the best
Maggot Brain...nice piece of music. Good Choice man and great play by you.
Incredible ... Channeling every axeman who ever felt the pain and pleasure ... Play on good sir ... I'm 49 nearly 50 ... I've prided myself on knowing my blues and my rock ... And I've only just discovered this song by Eddie hazel and funkadelic yesterday ... By the blues demons and rock gods I have been blessed ... Young man yo ass is fire ... May your momma live a thousand years ... And may your mastery only deepen ... I am a fan for life
Thanks a lot!
Im sad that u are 49 and just discover this amazing song. Have a lot of pleasure now ;)
I've been a funkadelic fan since the beginning and this.kid.maggot brain.justice
The definition of giving your soul.
Eddie Hazel is the one and only maggot brain. When Eddie play's it the soul sings.
But this guy is good.
Michael Weber super good luck. Благодарю за прекрасное исполнение. Всех благ Вам.
This is absolutely fucking incredible he nailed that shit!!!!
👍
Mannnnnmmmm!!!! You ain't no........... joke!!!! Keep playing! You were born to play a guitar!!! One love little bro.
Mike. SImply stunning.
Thanks a lot!
my favorite song all time played to perfection...Eddie would approve...
Thanks a lot, Fred!
You should have seen Michael Hampton(Kid funkadelic) play live, no one played it better than him but Eddie... Eddie approved because they played it together when the Kid was 19 years old.
Fucking love it man don't ever stop doing this!
I won't. Thanks!
I almost fell out of my chair to this, the world keeps leaning forward!
The drummer and guitarist really feel it d e e p
phenomenal, dude!
Thanks a lot!
All you can do is your best. And if someone else feels it you have done what you intended to do.i felt it.he is good.and he is on the road making a living playing music.more power to you.
Just WOW! great job man! You made it your own.
This is the shit that will get you in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! R.I.P. Cordell "Boogie" Mosson.....Plainfield New Jersey STAND UP!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
No..Thank you....you put goose bumps on my arms! #EXTREMELYTALENTED
those are the exact faces i make when listening to this song on acid
on a serious note this is some good shit
I've been LUCKY to catch a few of your shows these last few years--you are simply AMAZING! Every time I see you play, you take my breath away! SO talented!
I saw him in concert last night. He’s amazing!
Absolutely brilliant, man. Would love to catch a show sometime or maybe cross paths someday!! Keep on rockin'.
Thanks! I'd love to have you come to a show. To see my schedule check out www.themichaelwebershow.com
Well you can see him at Rocking on the River in Lorain Ohio Look up the schedule
That will be Friday May 25th 2018
It's like Stevie Vai and Gary Moore had a son 😂😂
OH MY STARS AND GARTERS!!! At the risk of typing heresy, I dare say that you took this tune to a new plateau! 🎸🤯👏🏻
This is what I'm like when I simply listen to the song.
I don't have the skill but I have the passion.
Absolutely nailed man :)
nailed it, sorry!!! Unlike this dude phrasing was never my strong suit...
serious shit....much love from London....you nailed it my friend.......you really really did...
gfrkiss Thanks a bunch!
watching it again....and have posted this to some guitar friends of mine....
gfrkiss Thamks for spreading the word!
do you have a Facebook page?
gfrkiss You can connect with me on my Facebook at facebook.com/michael.weber.1 or my website at themichaelwebershow.com
Fantastic rendition of the classic by the great Rock/Funk pioneer, Eddie Hazel.. love the addition of "Auld Lang Syne" amazing playing, bravo!!! Rest in peace Eddie
No video has ever been more aptly titled than this one.
Wonderful rendition 👏🏼👏🏽👏🏿
Eddie would be proud. Only thing missing is that Rare Essence...of Maggot Brain: Eddie played like he just lost his Mother; not like he was on a Speed hallucinating trip 😎
i wonder if he took lsd before the concert, its almost like the music was literally coming out of him, not even the guitar. in a metaphorical, possibly even metaphysical way if on lsd.
Not on LSD, but the music always comes out. Thanks a lot!
wasted opportunity honestly man
alex weed4life of course its metaphysical coz its happening..
I think he would barely be able to be on the stage and play in front of people if he was on LSD.
Doing anything that requires concentration on lsd is very, very hard.
Awesome playing! A buddy of mine shreds Maggot Brain on a nylon string at some of his gigs. Keep slamming them strings, brother!!👍🏻👍🏻
That's very cool. Thanks so much!
LEGENDARY! I KEEP COMING BACK TO THIS PERFORMANCE..HE HAS MERGED WITH THE MUSIC AND THEY HAVE BECOME ONE..BEAUTIFUL!
Could you Tab this out for me? 😂😳
@The Stupid will Inherit the Earth Perfect :' )
WHAT........THE........F*@K!!!!! Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow!
Thanks so much!
I've been rocking since before you were born, and you are one bad-assed musician!
i remained completely motionless and speechless for the whole 7 minutes and 49 seconds.
then i remained motionless and speechless for another 5 minutes.
Say what u want but in my book no body can do it like Eddie, I would have like to see prince try?!😎😂🤘👁️🎵🎸
Henry Thompson that would of been alsom..go to peral jam littel wing maggit brain 1996 mawalky.best ever i bet you cant eacth it once you will have ti play it right back again.mike mcreedy at the age of 20..now he feels it.
I wanted to listen to the guitar cry but the face was too distracting.. 😂😔
hugh frazer shut your eyes and listen :)
Put his ENTIRE SOUL out there for us to consume.... BEST interpretation of MAGGOT BRAIN I EVER HEARD, *BOWS*
Thanks so much! That means a lot!
I saw this kid five years ago in a tiny venue Spfld. Illinois. spittin image of my son.. Phenom is Right!
Maggot Brain wasn't meant to be shred, it's played from the soul, anybody can shred, but if don't have that touch, you're nothing.
If you’re saying this guy doesn’t have “the touch”, I can’t do anything for you
The touch isn't anything musical or even about skill... kids got talent loads of it but I get what terry's saying.@@nathanlalify
so, what you saying? Adding IMHO to your comment, helps clarify your points of view don't represent a universal truth.
holy shit!! This almost makes me believe in god!!{almost}
Oohhhh, by all the Saints, i love it! He plays it with full Passion 👏🏼👏🏼🌹🎶!!
I guess if there's a time to unload your entire trick bag, it's during Maggot Brain.
Very talented...can do without the dork face overkill.
Sometimes, less is more. He's good and I expect he'll learn that.
That is exactly what I think. I see the kid is good, but there is no soul or feel in this effort. This is a deeply, deeply spiritual song. All that showboating ----- completely killed the essence...the vibe that George and Eddie created with this masterpiece. The title is correct. This cat shredded Maggot Brain ----- literally,
Did you guys even listen to this. Feel free to put out your own cover or perhaps your qualifications for music critics
I listened to it. My qualifications are listening to music for roughly 49 years. I've heard and listened to troves of Maggot Brain renditions from the original to this effort, and untold versions in between. (This being the least enjoyable ----- my opinion) Have you listened to any covers or the original? Do you know the backstory to this song when it was being composed ? I do. To me, the backstory matters when I check out covers of this song. This particular song strikes a really strong chord with me. This version, however, when juxtaposed to the real deal, is nothing more than a plethora of speedy bum notes, played by a guy with eyes feigning Maggot Brain induced orgasm. In other words he's faking it, now for some, obviously ----- that's good enough, but for others ---- faking it... ain't. That's all.
MrCTruck- Listen to BB King play and you'll see the how a master gets the most from the least. Manual dexterity is great for magic tricks. For a musician, it has to be more than just a lot of notes. That you're impressed more by quantity than quality does not lend you credibilty as a 'critic'.
Its like telling someone that for example, Black ppl are better than white and Hope he will see that after few years :P There's literally no differance at all. This kid put part of his soul into this one, this is the way he does that. Someone can play this song slower, someone shred to hell out. What matters is if they actually feel what they are playing, and yes, this guy felt that Perfectly
Holy shit bro how do you not have like a million subs?! This was INCREDIBLE!
Eddie would be proud.This kid is AWSOME!!!!!!
I certainly appreciate that!
its ok but actually kinda hard to watch with all the overly dramatic contortions for music thats pretty blase ...then the end is just like you'd better put away the pipe before ya damage yourself
pure emotion... not dramatics
You never played tha guitar before high af or on acid trust me it will get you like this I damn near lost balance playing one time
