Man, I'd sell my heart on eBay to get a chance to see Hendrix and Eddie jam.

It features his heavy fuzzy guitar solo with psychedelic and earthy atmosphere from Funkadelic with straight rock groove. I'm listening to Funkadelic live at Meadowbrook 1971, right now in the middle of a sensational version of "Maggot Brain". Last week we refreshed the look of guardian.co.uk/music, and one of the first comments about the changes was simply: "STILL no dedicated Funkadelic button!!!" It's "You and Your Folks, Me and My Folks", which is all about the drums, bass, piano, and especially the vocals. They may not have been as tight as …

:rawk:I`m glad i got to see him run it down. Edward Earl Hazel (April 10, 1950 – December 23, 1992) was an American guitarist and singer in early funk music in the United States who played lead guitar with Parliament-Funkadelic. It's 10 minutes long solo or something, maybe longer. Les Pauls. Maggot Brain was played at his funeral. I can listen to that song on repeat all day.

Funnily enough, and you'll have to bear with me, the same band were on my mind the other day. Michael Hampton is a Funk Rock guitarist, composer and musical director and a Rock 'n Roll Hall of fame inductee with the band George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic in 1997. IMHO of course. Hampton recorded his 1st complete solo album, “Heavy Metal Funkason” (1998) which emphasis on his rocker side. For the recording of Maggot Brain, George Clinton told guitarist Eddie Hazel to play 'like your momma had just died' – this extraordinary 10-minute solo was the result. "Adolescent Funk" " Funk Gets Stronger", as well as Clinton's side project Brides of Funkenstein "Never Buy a Texas From A Cowboy" Clinton's Solo "Stingy" as notable credits.

Eddie Hazel truly made his guitar cry. There are a whole bunch of funk/funky players that I don't even really bother comparing to each other, because they all share a little bit, but they have their own thing going on. Favorites.

He used whatever he could get his hands on after 1980.

I fucking love this song and would love some similar recommendations. What's that splatty fuzz towards the end I'd like to know. sooooo underrated. Thank you for reminding me of one of my favorite songs! "Super Stupid" is ridiculously good!

I would agree too.
Haven't heard it in months!

"Ball Hog or Tug Boat" is the name. From wikipedia: "According to legend, George Clinton, under the influence of LSD, told Eddie Hazel during the recording session to imagine he had been told his mother was dead, but then learned that it was not true.". Hendrix was the better songwriter and more creative, pushing the limits, but in terms of just chops, Eddie Hazel was about as good. In love with this song so I'm trying to figure out how to get the tone as close to right as possible.

The best place to start if you're new is right below in our "Rules" section. I guess because funk-rock isn't too mainstream. I recall seeing Funkadelic playing on the same bill as Primal Scream in Brixton in the mid-90s, and the version of this song that night seemed to me to last several hours. He also had a bunch of 70's strats in various colors and a natural ash strat that used to belong to his good friend and master vocalist Glen Goins (RIP). They are both guitar royalty...So Say We All.

One accurate version.   You cannot paste images directly. On this day in 1992, guitarist Eddie Hazel sadly succumbed to liver failure.

This training helped him to establish his musical versatility and complexity to this day. the Jimi vs. Eddie debate is pointless....why must musicians be like athletes, or more to the point, why do music fans treat musicianship like a sporting competition. Sadly, Hazel died in 1992. I love him! Maggot Brain, by Funkadelic was like a psychedelic experience when I first heard it.

But you are right, that entire album is amazing. Hampton's first studio recording was Bootsy's Rubber Band's “album "Stretchin' Out In”" (1976). Stratocasters.

His skills are hard to be matched by anyone, and I think when he was in his prime, he was as good as Hendrix himself. Vastly underrated album...also had Rollins, J. Mascis and/or Nels Cline on almost every single track...one of the Beastie Boys, Stephen Perkins. ×
