@ underrated!

Hey Andy! if you really want to hear this song, go see George next time he comes your way.

it might not be Eddie playing, but Michael and Blackbyrd are more than capable of holding it down.

i never really got into Grorges music, but then again i haven't heard much!

andykeen said:

Which George are we talking about here?

andykeen said:

Yeah, George's music (Parliament/funkadelic/P-funk allstars) is for grown folks. i'm sure as years pass you'll find yourself liking him more and more.

but, that all depends on you earning your stripes as a true funk soldier.

andykeen said:

You're just so cute is all.

And yeah, Funkadelic's one of my favorite bands. Happy listening and discovering.

andykeen said:

It was rated as one of the 100 greatest guitar solos by guitar magazine or Rolling Stone or whoever and I've never heard it but I know the story about it being created because George Clinton told Eddie Hazell he wanted him to think of saddest thing he could think of when he played and he should think of his mother dying.

So I know about the song and the story behind it, yet I've never heard it, so it definitely has a reputation.

The whole Maggot Brain album is awesome. I think it's probably one of my favorite acid rock albums ever. The song itself rivals anything by monsieur Hendrix as one of the greatest guitar solos ever. I also love Super Stupid, which is probably Funkadelic's, and indeed P-funk's as a whole, hardest rocking tune. Can You Get To That is awesome Motowny soul (George was a staffwriter at Motown btw). Wars of Armaggeddon is a fine quasi musique concrete piece, the others are great rock-funk mixtures. The only even remotely lightweight tune is "Back in Our Minds" and it's still full of plenty absurd, idiosyncratic George Clinton goodness.

If you don't mind me posting this site again here is a site where you can see Eddie Hazel and Mike Hampton play "Maggot Brain" together. And some kewl early footage of George Clinton and company.

That was HIP!!!!

andykeen said:

Yeah I Like, Eddie Hazel is my favorite guitar player, Im just surprised you never heard it, if you like that Eddie has some solo stuff you might dig as well

theAudience said:

I was listening to this album the other day. Eddie Hazel's performance is unbelievable. I think I read that George Clinton told him to play the solo as if his mother had just died or something to that effect. One of the greatest guitar solos of all time!

Which one am I?

cranshaw62 said:

Thanx for that! Very wicked

blackguitaristz said:

Three questions: Eddie Hazel, I've heard some good things about him on this board. Any signature recordings of him that you'd recommend?

Other question: how long have you been playing guitar, what kind and style of guitar do you play, and how would you compare your playing with Prince's?

How would Eddie's style compare to Prince's?

(No, not another who's "better" thread, more thinking about stylistic and musical differences and similarities).

Alasseon said:

First answer. Anything that Eddie is playing on is what I would suggest. Some of my faves would be Funkadelic 70 -73, Eddie first solo album "Guitar, Dames and Thangs", and his work on Ruth Copeland's albums, to me, was some of his best playing ever.
Second answer. I have been playing guitar, seriously since I was 15. I play a lot of different styles, mainly cuz I always listened to a lot of different music.
Third answer. P and I have many of the same influences. Hendrix, Santana, Hazel, Brian May, etc. P has also been an influence on me as well. I grew up on P just like I did Hendrix. Even though we share similar influences, their are other cats that u may hear in my playing that P may not infuse. I don't think their is anyone who P isn't aware of. I often get compared to Hendrix, Hazel, Ernie Isley, and yes, Prince. It depends on the person and what and who their hip to. If someone says Hendrix or Hazel, then that's kinda obvious. If someone says Uli Roth from The Scorpions or Glen Buxton from Alice Cooper, Or Brian May, then I'm like "aahh, very good ear."

blackguitaristz said:

Throw in David Gilmour as well. I forgot your last question. As I mentioned before, P has definately been influenced by Hazel, but so has Jessie Johnson. And P and Jessie couldn't sound any different from each other. So, again, it depends on your take and how you showcase your influence.
