      @@JC-11111 You are correct that amongst people who know this is hailed as a modern guitar classic. You are also wrong for with just this one song Eddie Hazel's name should be patently revered alongside the Claptons, Becks and Hendrixs of the world and it clearly is not.

    • @Dan76Rock
      @Dan76Rock 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Very true indeed! And the utterly amazing original recording was no doubt aided by the fact that George Clinton told Eddie to imagine the feeling he would have if he’d just been told his mother had died. Which sounds a very strange thing to ask someone to think about at any time never mind when recording a guitar solo but boy did it bring out so much emotion and feeling in Eddie’s playing.

      I've been obsessed with the guitar since the mid-late 80's, but somehow have never heard this. Heard EH was a great funk player, heard the P-Funk hits, but obviously didn't KNOW Eddie Hazel. Man Prince is all over this! Reid and Mac Alpine(maybe Rocky George) were the only rock (not fusion) black guitarist that I really knew about when I was a kid. I'm glad there are still great players out there (of all bkgds) to discover. Thank you for this video. Wow

    The US Funk Mob, the best band ever! Hazel was maybe the greatest guitarist ever (he's definitely in the discussion), Hampton played in his shadow, but is very good too, Clinton was a genius, Bernie was great on the keyboards, must I go on? This band was ahead of it's time. RIP to all of them that have moved on to the next life.

      bernie's a fucking beast. pure genius. like someone else said on a youtube comment, he's like beethoven or bach on acid. atmosphere and tales of kidd funkadelic are masterpieces. way ahead of their time. he spawned an entire generation of g-funk.
      garry shider and his soulful voice. and glenn goins - man, he tied way too young. that man had a heck of a voice.

The first time I heard the title I was like "sounds like some death metal" but boy was I wrong. My brother showed me this song. I had to take a break because it felt like I was getting pulled in to a world I knew nothing about. Crazy. May his soul rest in peace amongst the stars of our universe. Beautiful souls.

I'd also say that Maggot Brain is a scream to death, a realization of the bond between life and death.

    All I can say is, I was there! I was in guitar heaven! I actually talked to him about that concert and he said He consciously tried to outplay Mike 'cause he felt that people had forgotten that HE did the song first. He felt that Mike played it too straight up and he tried to play around with it to make Mike look bad. It's obvious that Mike knew he would try something like that, 'cause this is the most lively version I've ever heard Mike do!

      Jj_Rj_ Gaming BS. I know Mike personally as well as other musicians who were close to Eddie and have talked to them about this issue. Short answer: there was no beef between them or one trying to make the other look bad. Eddie's place in history was secure. Michael was The Next One. Period.

    Approaching HALF A MILLION VIEWS!!! You all seriously kick ass, so many great comments about Eddie and PFUNK and just FUNKN' life in general, so damn good! Everyone should show this video to at least one friend that has never seen it, they deserve that much! Looks like a few more brains have been melted recently bringing the death toll to 21.. gotta love the power of PFUNK!!!

    That indescribable performance melted my face, my brain, and part of my spleen. Much due respect to both Eddie (R.I.P.) and Michael. I hope we can stop comparing these two guitar gods (Jimi and Ernie too).

      Hampton's whole career,was mimicking Eddie. That's how George found him, playing Eddie's music. Personally, I prefer Black Bird McKnight over Mike Hampton. But Eddie Hazel will always be my number 1 favorite guitarist. Prince, my second. ✌

    Wow, I can't believe this is live. I don't know if this is controversial, but I actually find this version better than the studio version. I find the drums to be better and it just feels like the guitar is more alive or something. Am I the only one?

      They did these versions , all slightly different, night after night. There are lots of various performances. This is one of my all time favorites. Completely on fire! Seeing them live several times there were quite a few moments of total genius from an endless line-up of talented musicians.
