Axiom Funk - Pray My Soul w/ Eddie Hazel

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 พ.ย. 2008
- Resurrected by Bill Laswell from the studio cutting room floor, this is Eddie Hazel at his best. The liner notes credit Grace Cook as the guitarist, but as any Funkateer knows, that's Eddie's mom's name, used to ensure she'd get the royalties. Bernie Worrell is on keyboards, and the mix is by Bill Laswell.

Yes I knew Eddie personally!! My man. He was one of the greatest supporters of me and my drumming. I was sitting in at a club in Elizabeth N.J. and when I came down from stage, he walks up to me and asks did I want to go there again and jam with him!! We played Standing on The Verge and Maggot Brain together. The most amazing thing about Eddie was not his lead guitar playing but his rhythm guitar playing which was so phat, and full of energy. Eddie loved my finger control technique. He introduced me to George because he wanted me in the band, but I declined because I was playing with Donald Byrd at the time. I always wanted to meet and play with Jimi Hendrix, but he passed before I could hook up with him. Playing with Eddie was the next best thing and highlight of my life. He did his best to carry on the legacy of Jimi. I think he did it justice. That was real good brother, really miss him.
I miss him too.
@@robertcarroll9756 yes jimi and eddie met and jimi showed eddie georhe and jimi knew each other before they both started doing lsd wjen jimi was a sideman for the isleys and before george was alll clean singing doo wop george said acid changed everybody
@@robertcarroll9756 jimi told eddie he had some huge ass hands lol
You didn't know Hazel you absolute fucking lime.
Ive been playing since I was 15 in the 90s and recently discovered Eddie Hazel....He's The One!
I can see why Hazel cried in the studio... This joint has me near tears I can feel the emotion. Born too early or too late Eddie Hazel didn't deserve to be lost to the realm of forgottenness
There's players who are technical & who have tons of talent, but there are far less guitar players who have raw emotion & pure soul pouring out of their finger tips. Eddie Hazel to me is easily one of the greatest. I'd rather listen to this 1 track than listen to the entire Steve Vai catalog, or also Joe Satriani's catalog. This is great!
🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🧉🧉🧉🧉🤪🤣
My grandson introduced me to this group recently. I love having a shared interest with rock groups such as santana, led zeppelin and of course the amazing Jimmi Hendrix. He is so special to me. I couldn't ask for a better grandson 💙
No guitar player in the universe can play a guitar with as much emotion as Eddie hazel could. His guitar is a extension of his soul no doubt.
Bro, hes a great guitarist, but saying ridiculous shit like this takes away from his legacy. Plain wrong.
a friend, hearing this for the first time asked, "Didn't anyone hear him crying out for help in this song?" Well said.
Deepest comment i done ever heard
@@bryana297 even deeper was it was said this was eddies last recording and he died later that afternoon
But yes let us all feel.in pain in his music lots of anger and everytime he sang he would break down in tears george wanted him to call the mothership down but he wasn't available he was either in prison and by the time he got out Glen goins was so settled in the band they probaly didn't need eddie
At least george got hom a solo deal
@@chrisedwards3214 really ?? where did you get this information of ? cuzz thats a BIG statement with a lot of meaning , could just be urban myth
@@chrisedwards3214 Yeah ima need too see your sources on that one can’t make a claim like that without sharing where you read it.
@@chrisedwards3214 no way that’s true.
His Grandmother Gave him his first guitar and he Gave us this. The root of the Hebrew word for love is Give. God bless Eddie.
William Stewart ... 🙏
That's not true, actually. The Hebrew word for love is אהבה. Giving is לתת.
That is because jews love it when you give them something for free.
@@007TisseTrold 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The root of the word give is Gebo/Gyfo, the Nordic futhark rune is simply X, simmilar to the Egyptian hieroglyph that is like the X Men logo which kinda means "Here/now/this place/this time/this moment".
ONE FAMILY! Black, White, Brown, Jewish, Arab, Asian...Dont get hooked by the haters bait
Every time I hear this & maggot brain they always make me cry & think of all of the people in my life that have died. Eddie was & is still the greatest guitarist of all time next to Jimi Hendrix & Ernie Isley.
Please don't forget about Eric Gales.
Who is Ernie Isley?
@@linuswang6572 part of The Isley Brothers, my favorite song by them is “have you ever been disappointed” they are really good
@@Seven5.0 Oh, them. Hendrix used to play with them before going to the UK. I know them as a solid r'n'b / soul group. Haven't heard too much tho. Love Average White Band's version of their song 'Work to Do' (the live versions I've heard are better than the album version). Gotta check them out further, I guess. Thanks.
This is amazing. So fkn melodic. Not overdone with tapping and tricks. Where are the true artists today?
+Theodore Nell In the archives.
+Diana Sima ...and in the streets.
+Theodore Nell
you're not looking in the right places
+Theodore Nell They are definitely not on mainstream, real talent nowadays are sadly not wanted in Hellywood because humans are condition to be slow and are losing their sense of taste in anything nowadays. Also the "people" who are running the big music industry are definitely not Black because if they were you would still be hearing music like this for sure.
airilove17 it was said Eddie recorded this and died later on anyway he lost his battle to cancer
I really don't have words to describe how Eddie Hazel stirs my soul. Its beyond the stuff of this world.
You know it sister, that divine sound, its here in droves.
pretty much yeah
I FEEL YOU
Eddie Hazel is officially my favourite guitarist
excvellent choice
Here here. I concur.
welcome to the club sir. for me its him and Dave Gilmour
Me too, second is Ernie Isley...
Eddie Hazel came over to one of our session, I was on drums,
I heard and watched him play, he played like a miracle.
RIP Eddie Hazel one of the best.
My God, that TONE!!! He wasn't plugged into an amplifier, he was plugged directly into his heart...
This shit is actually making me cry... It's just latched straight onto my soul.
me too cuz, it always takes me "there", I'll one day know where "there" is!
@@TheRealTommyRock It's in my van.... ...only kidding...
1:57 that vibrato i am crying
Wow!!!
Can we just respect him? Without comparison!
yes I
Michaelemery Delaney Amen!
+Michaelemery Delaney Amen!
tru dat
If everyday was a sunny day, what then would be a sunny day?
THE MOST SOULFULIST GUITARIST EVER!!!!!!
..Est, bro soulfulEst...just so you know for later, not trying to win,,, ...
Eddie was my neighbor and my friend, truly a kind and gifted soul.
R.I.P. Eddie Hazel, You touch my soul..
Let's give props to Bill Laswell for tracking Eddie down and getting to tape the final moments with Bernie & Eddie & Bootsy will ever hear again. Some musicians just don't want to live a "safe" life. Eddie was one of them, I can't fault that. Fly on Eddie.
Eddie lived abd died like a rock star
I'm glad to have had the pleasure of speaking with Eddie before he passed on. He will always be a huge influence on my guitar playing.
This song is super intense and very deep. You can tells he put his heart and soul into it . The guitar is dancing, and crying at the same time.
It's amazing how sounds taking the form of different notes can alter the way a man feels so heavily.
so true
I feel so late finding out about this but damn I love it
my grandmother played the blues for me when i was a kid. she would say " sing your soul!" this man right here, is playing his soul and exposing it for all of us. i want a time machine so i can listen to him live soak in his spirit. i am 38 years old and i rediscovered love of music listening to a brother who passed play guitar. i know there is a guy or gal somewhere playing their axe who will never be understood in this time. i hope i find them!
Im here
🌈
another gem - this dude is special
Word!!! Eddie Hazel is straight dope...bad ass dude!!!
Man if i had enough tears to cry for Eddie i would ! That was just to deep PRAY FOR MY SOUL! Next level guitarist!
I would pay to feel even half of what he felt while slaying that jam.
+fudgel0ve omg, I don't know if I could even stand HALF!
6 string GOAT IMHO.
Eddie Hazel Uber Alles
I just listen to this song 14 times and I still want to want to continue to play it.
It's been about 25 years since your body left this space in time,but your music still lives on Eddie. Peace to you now and thanks for your treasures left behind.
I agree Doctor.
For me this is even better than Maggot brain. Eddie Hazel was amazing
Bill laswell has a lot of eddie unreleased tracks
chris edwards No shit? I would love to hear them! Where?
In his vault
Skrelnick222 both great
True.
Simply the best
He makes that guitar convey so many emotions. R.I.P Legend.
without any comparison and any doubt Eddie Hazel was the guitar GOD of all times :) he express feelings much more clearly than any other guitar player including Hendrix ...
PUMAPBP absolutely excluding Hendrix. This is not that special at all. Hendrix was way better. Expresses feelings more clearly is a very vague statement that can not be measured at all but you act as if it is a fact. I think it is a bullshit statement. He was good but no Hendrix.
When it comes to feels alone gilmour surpasses hazel easily. Just here Shine on you Crazy Diamond. And most feel based guitarist are to monotone anyway. Though when you want something melancholiv their quite good but thats all they really can produce.
He playd with more emotional values than jimmy!🎸🎸🎸☝
@@hesch-tag thx bre....they need to just stop......glad the Hendrix catalog back on U tube
@@henrythompson8286 Yeah right
Maximun respect to one of my hometown heros. Rest in peace Mr. Hazel. Plainfield got soul, these youngsters just need to understand that. ain't just gangs and eastside vs. westsode, poppies vs brothas...my city still got a pulse baby. lets bring the sons & daughters of tha Field back to their royal roots. Music=soul....& tha soul never dies. peace fam
67 people need you to pray for their souls.
I’m already crying.What a gift and a beautiful man.We Love you and We Miss you sir
The organ in the intro reminds me of RIP Richard Wright's superb organ outtro in Pink Floyd's Cirrus Minor, a must hear experience!!! Great music is always connected, even though the ones who made it have already left us.
- In a churchyard by a river,
Lazing in the haze of midday,
Laughing in the grasses and the graze.
Yellow bird, you are not alone
In singing and in flying on,
In laughing and in leaving.
Those funk breaks on Echoes, and on Animals aren't just coincidence.
bolderiks I never read the lyrics. That's good stuff. Another great jam.
found what I've been missing.... couldn't find it in my generation's music.😏
+Miss Random ...try Robin Trower and Ronnie Montrose. Carlos Santana with Europa is close. I want Maggot Brain played at my funeral but afraid it would blow the normal people out the door.
TROWER AND MONTROSE DONT HAVE THE SAME SOUL AS EDDIE
Kee Kee I hear u sis. 😍
wow!
Right gurwl
Ah Man. This is an example of how high a language music can be. There are no words...........The language of the soul.
I knew Eddie personally he was an amazing person to know l loved him unconditionaly. He was family l love you my funk god
Melody. Hi, I was interested to read you knew Eddie. Would love to hear some info about him.......
Roy Buchanan, Jimi Hendrix, Terry Kath, Tommy Bolin and Eddie Hazel led the way. You've got musical geniuses everywhere laying down pure soul and spirit. Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana and Frank Zappa to name a few more just make my head spin. The gifted are a gift. Appreciate it.
This is from the soul.
I feel so bad I just now discover this magnificent man. I so speechless I just was watching Janelle Monae and wonder if there were similar artist with her kind of taste. I look up Psychedelic soul and it lead me here to this great man and his sweet tunes. I'm still mad at myself for not knowing this man any sooner but I'm happy I did look this up. XD
Check out the whole pfunk crew the brides, parlet, godmama, Kendra foster, bettty Davis, the horny horns, Bernie worrell, Jessica cleaves, basically the whole funkadelic album and parliament albums kelis, bad brains, miitia vox, j Davey, 247 spyz, punkfunk mob. Fishbone,
+chris edwards Wow thank you I didn't know anyone would do this. Thanks I will definitely check these out. :)
+airilove17
Very little of their music is this style of psychedelic/blues guitar. It's mostly funk, which gets pretty repetitious. Eddie Hazel is still probably the least known great guitarist out there. He's better than Jimi.
What a touching comment. Better late than never. Welcome.
thank you so much!!!
Maggot 🧠 the first p.funk song that captured my heart,mind& my inner emotions,Eddie Hazel played from his heart & Soul!!! Many have come along and have tried to capture the same vibe that Eddie had but I'm sorry close is not getting the job done! R.i p! My p FUNK brother 💔 from another 🤘🤘🤘❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇🎸🎸🎸
Wow so glad you shared this, thanks. Up there with "Maggot Brain". What a combo of emotion and chops. RIP
Play this at my funeral~
This connects and awkates something so deep in me, if love was a sound, this would be that sound.
Duck Harris, Eddie Jones, Cecil Howell, Big D, Mike Robinson, Bay Thomas Terry Harris, we all got drunk and jammed to the sounds of greatness. RIP Eddie, Cecil, Big D
Listening to Eddie Hazel convinces me I was born too late. He was beautiful. Just so beautiful.
This is so intense... perhaps the most emotional guitsr work I've ever heard.
+Explore then you never heared maggot brain
Bruno C. That's actually the one that made me discover Funkadelic and Eddie :)
+Bruno C. This is even better than Maggot Brain IMO
wow, ever? I'm thinking the same thing though, and I've heard a LOT! I think most of his stuff can be classified as "emotional" though, so you hit the nail on the head homey!
SETTLE DOWN THERE... NOT BETTER THAN MAGGOT BRAIN
@Kradoz I agree with you. Hendrix was intense, fiery and had a dynamic stage personality, but Eddie Hazel was hypnotic, magnetic and soulful. People will argue so was Jimi Hendrix and he was, but Eddie was so much more. I can't even put words to how I feel when I listen to his playing. I feel like I'm drowning into his playing or sometimes I can hardly breathe it's so painful. I feel all this and I'm not even using drugs!
just coming to this, better late than never
The flyest, illest most awesome guitarist to have ever graced our planet Earth with his six string grand wizadry .
Eddie Hazel is the light, the truth and the way.
Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, SRV, Frusciante, Vai a Van Halen, Slash , Buckethead BB King, Dimebag etc are all Johnny come lately versions of His Airness while Eddie Hazel is all straight out of high school undeniable master level mamba mentality Kobe Bryant. Long Live Eddie Hazel !
KB0824GOAT!
Rip kobe rip Eddie
Thanks for this upload mr max power.
100 watt amp 4x12 , If the neighbours don't like my amateur attemps at this , i'll answer the door if i can hear it . . .
+Celt 5971 f*ck 'em, they'll come around bruh
Keep moving forward!
Same. I play till 2am some nights. Nobody in my building seems to care.
hey man, do you have any written tabs for this song?
I love his tone!! Beautiful guitar playing by Eddie Hazel!!
playing out of his soul....
Thanks Bill...Eddy was awesome.....Homey from Burr Oak. :)
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....
AXIOM FUNK / FUNKCRONOMICON WAS BEST CD PURCHASE OVERALL FOR MORE THAN SEVERAL YEARS!
why am i typing in CaPs ?
THank YOu foR posTIng
+Reverend Billy You're funny, you seem to be having a seizure.
Eddie was one of the greatest guitarists to ever walk on this sweet swingin' sphere! this is a song I want played at my funeral/memorial/whatever they decide to do w/ me!
Tapping into your inner soul, and projecting it into everything you do. I believe this is the key to play like this.
You can feel his passion or emotions thru the sounds..and too music is the language of the soul
Buckethead lead me here. Simply amazing.
I love that i just discovered this, after listening to Funkadelic and His Carlifornia Dreamin album alooooot of times. This is gold, pure gold.
Eddie has will always a special place in my heart. I get chills every time I listen to him.
Respect Respected and Respectful.. Thanks for uploading these hidden gems that would otherwise remain oblivious to many out of the loop folk like moi.. !!
Sick trackman, just plain sick.
I could listen to this all day..
Wow.....this is so beautifully sad. Im listening as i comment, thank you EDDIE HAZEL, GRACE COOK.
@asistaatpeace you are truly blessed! I just don't understand how people could overlook this man with so much emotion that pour out of his playing. Pray My Soul is starting to effect me like "Maggot Brain" and I love his beautiful voice in "California Dreamin". Eddie was in a class all by himself and will always be "King Funkadelic".
My ears say beautiful, my heart says touching, my eyes see the passion and my life is blessed.
Your amazing song always lives , always mind bending helps to calm and giving the feeling into living in somewhere else that you created thank you
true I NEVER HEARD OF HIM TILL TODAY AND I CANT STOP LISTING TO HIM!!
this composition will make you cry if you not CareFul 😂😂💯 RNS.
Miiz Undastuud true
✊🏿✊🏿
I haven't heard this one with Eddie Hazel on it but his style of play was unforgettable! What A True Rock & Roll Guitar Giant!!!
Probably my top 1 guitar track ever so much damn soul
Man!!! Thanks for posting this... just Beautiful
The music outlasts the artist and the charts eddie like most geniuses it took death in order to discover him and he left a hell of a legacy all his solos should be chetished cant wait for another eddie solo album if we get it
Swimming not only downstream, but ahead of the current. We were lucky to have him share his tallents for as long as we did. RIP, Mr. Hazel.
This man was literally ignored by white radio. I'm just now discovering him because of TH-cam. I grew up on Jimi and bands like Deep Purple, Carlos Santana and the like. Jimi said he wanted to get between the notes, sounds like Eddie and Jimi were on the same planet together. This is really excellent music.
I will pray your soul.......
Amazing work in a simple form Great!!!!
I get the #TingleAllOverAffect, as this guitar genius makes it actually sing, a mellow marvelous tune!
i just started to play guitar and all i knew was jimi hendrix, slash, jeff beck, jimmy page as the best guitarist ever. till i heard funkadilc maggot brain by accident. i just fell in love with da song. man it blew my mind. now i heard this song and from 'the bottom of my soul" eddie instantly became my fav guitarist but im not gonna say he is da best cuz like eddie i never heard of him till today. makes me wonder who else is out there. i wish i can sound like eddie when i play tho.
I am just discovering Eddie Hazel, I am glad to have been introduced to this incredible artist via TH-cam. Going to buy his albums because he plays in the style that one day I would like to begin to understand. great track! peace
Wow! This is really awesome!
Never heard this before. Yet another reason for me to consider Eddie to be so freakin good that words cannot discribe his awesomness :-)
Thanks for uploading this!
Wow. Just wow. Thanks for sharing.
thank you for posting!!
my God, my God...I am so glad I heard this, it brings tears of joy.....My God, My God !!!
Angelic... To me.
Since I've Been Loving You - Led Zeppelin
From The Bottom of My Soul - Eddie Hazel
Echoes - Pink Floyd (Has two solo's first is a more kick you up the ass sorta solo while the second is pretty much a dreamy extended blues jam)
Time - Pink Floyd (Not as long as the others listed but probably one of the most emotional solo's I have ever heard, absolutely killer tone.)
Jimi Hendrix - Machine Gun
Enjoy Bro
I will! The first two even more since the other ones are regulars in my line-ups
Bro..you have impeccable taste.
This is so soulful, it makes me cry.
Awesome. Soulfull! He is one of the best man. RIP Eddy!
goosebumps galore thanks!!!
Maan soooo! Deep :) Love IT
Lay it on em Eddie. Dayum. RIP For future generations to admire.
That's just beautiful!
Thanks Eddie for this jewel, coming soon my next beat with you faboulous guitar
An Aries the ram with a guitar, the perfect storm.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
