When I'm feeling depressed about the state of the world, I listen to Maggot Brain and I'm revived by the understanding that humans also create MASTERPIECES. Thank you.

Sorry to hear of your pain and grieving. I hope listening to this helps every time you need it too help. Losing family members is so tough and so sad.

[@myronmurff]

My condolences Mr. Peters, It is so hard to lose them.

[@BedeYahEmmanuel]

We truly understand my brother because a real funkateer like yourself, NEVER FAKES THE FUNK! The funk is for all phases of life. You know with all the antics going on one might forget that George had some of the baddest cats playing with him!!!

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

There must be something wrong with me or I've been hiding under a rock my entire life. I just turned 37 years old love rock and roll and this is the first time I've ever heard this song and I absolutely love it. Matter fact I can't stop putting the song on repeat. Seriously I must have been sheltered or something I have no idea how I have never ever heard of this song but I'm so grateful I've got turned on to it.

[@dham629]

Then you must have never been listening to that good old Psychadelic Funk, Blues, R&B, Soul music produced by Black people. Rock & Roll's roots were born there. Glad you found the TRUTH lol. Check out Ernie Isley of the Isley Bros. Hendrix briefly played with them in the 60s.

[@gwenrenee8641]

Not sure of your race and perhaps that should not matter but it does. The "whites" claimed Rock and Roll as theirs just like they try to and claim everything else as their invention. Do some research!!!! Perhaps start with Muddy Waters. That will lead you in many directions to the truth.

[@jehjeh007]

@@gwenrenee8641 Sister Rosetta Tharpe invented Rock N Roll (but SHE NEVER call it that though everyone kept screaming at her that she changed America with her Gospel Music "electric fiddlin/diddlin" (her words)), Muddy and the rest have admitted it. Other Baptist church took up her practice of bringing electric guitars into the chorus causing church goers to celebrate to the Lord in the pews like never before with the "spirit" it created. Sometimes clean tone, most time Heavy distortion (aka Heavy Metal sound). Elvis Presley (and 2 other white friends) secretly attended one of those services and got to moving like he never had before, thus started playing guitar and "grinding", a move he saw at that very church. Now a brother named Charlie Christian "Something" or another from Texas played the first electric guitar invented by Gibson created the finger tapping now known by Eddie Van Halen. Rosetta played a clean tone most times, while Charlie would put heavy distortion into his chops. A SISTA INVENTED ROCK N ROLL but she only (rumored) called it that on her death bed with a "I guess I did". White people always trying to steal stuff, change history and lie lie lie on Blacks.

Fuck Slash. This is legendary! Came out 49 years ago?! Timeless

[@stevebean1234]

Lol I recently got back into listening to this on repeat when someone said Slash was one of their favorite guitarists 🙄. To each their own but to me it’s a crime Rolling Stones ranked Slash above Eddie Hazel. I told that person to check out this song - they hadn’t heard it before.

[@HBAmsbary]

One of the best pieces of music from my long lost youth.

[@omikredarhcs8221]

If you are here you haven't lost anything

[@bacanito]

I remember jamming with a group of friends and at a point it was my turn to lead off the next jam (I was on bass), so I tell one of the guitarists to play this. He didn't know it, I gave him the basic progression)... he looks at me (a bit disappointed in the simplicity) and says 'that's it?' I look at him with a smile and said 'yeah'. A couple of minutes later everyone in the room 'got it' and it was one of the most memorable moments i've ever had jamming. RIP Mr. Hazel

[@BurnleyNuts]

Uttley incredible how you can take something so simple, four chords and basically nothing more than an Em scale and turn it into this!. Goes to show music doesn't have to be overly complicated or that you need to know music theory to degree level to create brilliant works.

@@BurnleyNuts you shouldn't have assumed that. If your child is misbehaving you will find its best to make it do what it supposed to do. 😲

[@BurnleyNuts]

@@MrTPain What?

[@AghoraNath]

@@BurnleyNuts when we say "your child" we're talking about you, your younger parts. They're all younger, your younger parts, fragmented, some want to drink, some want to lead, and, if you can integrate them into you, your loving parent, then they are heard and seen, no longer do you necessarily need to be lead around by them, their avoidance, their drug use, you acknowledge their rage and thank them for protecting you when they were young. Now, you lead, you hold them, with love, no judgment. They come home, you are whole, like never before. I think maybe, that's what he might have said, in one line.

[@arrwstia7]

I’m turning 60 in few months, and it still gives me chills this song. A masterpiece. I also love Eddie Hazels play… god rest his soul.

[@bushtales]

Thank you 4 preserving and sharing this all time favorite The Maggot Brain... Much respect to Michael Hampton, Lige Curry, Rickey Rouse, Garrett Shider, Danny Bedrosian, Jerome Rodgers, Benzel Cowan, George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic for still touring the World. Fly on.

I was fortunate enough to be at his concert in 1972 uh 72 at the fair park Coliseum And hear this song being played The group was called Parliament maggot brain I never forget it

When I ran across this by accident I couldn’t believe it. I listened to it and over! My goodness it’s absolutely the best! I never tire of it!

[@bradquery779]

song written by eddie hazel.. inspired by george clinton.. told eddie to imagine his mother had passed away...... and that gave us this gift of genius!!!

[@laurabrown3405]

Thank goodness for that gift I'm 63 and been listening to it since I was 16!!

[@corbelius6]

Word has is George told Eddie to play the first half of the song as if his mother died, and the second half as if he found she was still alive.

[@der-Troet]

i think metallica has copied here well.

[@darren9998]

I discovered the song in 2018, then stopped listening to it for the most part. In 2020, my mom died, and that was quite a difficult thing to deal with. One of the ways I coped was by walking around the base at night listening to Maggot Brain on repeat. Didn’t really know why it helped, but it did. In 2022, I learned that George Clinton said “play like your mama just died,” and I was blown away. Work of genius.

[@Breakbeats92.5]

George Clinton told Eddie Hazel to "play guitar like your mama just died." The resulting song was Maggot Brain, recorded in one take for the 1971 album of the same name.

[@farleytrading]

we covered this one a lot at family jam weekend,it was one of my late wife's favorites so we did it at her wake with all her other fav's

[@djcoolcliff]

Mike killing it! He played the solo on Knee Deep! Eddie Hazel did the original Maggot Brain! RIP Eddie Hazel and my uncle the legend Wah Wah Watson!

michael hampton and the drummer at the end....lol they were messing with each other by extending the outro. lol the drummer extended it, then michael kept extending it. that's why they're grinning at each other lol this was a great performance

[@72Mohawk]

Funkadelic's signature song up close and personal!!!!

[@DaveAnderson-xh7qe]

I think this must be the music that plays as your life stretches out before you. So many years... highs and lows... lessons learned and taught... women come and gone... Soulmates, broken hearts... 100 years and then some. And now it all makes sense as you fly above it all... with your new Wings. ❤

Amazing performance.. Love the huge overdrive guitar.. The scene looks just like my big family.

[@Aaronius_Maximus]

I used to think I was pretty familiar with Funkadelic, and how these George Clinton shows went as I've attended a few back in the mid-2000's and he was most definitely not playing guitar solos. I didn't even know George played, ESPECIALLY the Maggot Brain solo! Still prefer to see Eddie play it but damn this was a pleasant surprise, no idea how I've never seen this before.

[@michellemorgan9075]

I think Mike started playing Maggot Brain after Eddie passed away. I saw them in concert many many times in the late 70’s, and grew up listening to them because of my older brothers. My brother has the original vinyl. I still love this song, makes me have chills. Btw this is Michael Hampton playing not George. I saw Mike play this song many times. To my knowledge George never played an instrument. Apologies if I read your comment wrong.

[@droidnoid7]

@@michellemorgan9075 I might be wrong but George was a genius behind the keys. Tweeking sounds and melodies accordingly.
