I ain't got nothing more to say, take it away Eddie!!!!

Truly, one of the GREATEST guitar solos ever caught on record.

Somebody said from a PBS documentary(about George Clinton) that Eddie was crying his heart out through those strings, I really can't describe a more eloquent sentiment coz thats exactly how it feels to me.

He reminds me of Santana in the sense that BOTH musicians treated their instruments as individuals that could sing for them, as opposed to "objects".

This blows me away every single time I listen to it. Just...wow.

George asked Eddie to think of the saddest thing he could possibly think of (his mother dying) and play it through his guitar.

I heard "King Heroine" by JB, the other night and I just thought I was too high as hell because I kept saying I heard "Maggot Brain" but now that I just listened to Maggot Brain again, I realize that I was NOT that damn high!

^^ Like James Brown, Eddie Hazel proved a guitar had SOUL!

Super Stupid is probably my favorite song from that album, though.

"Wars of Armageddon" is my favorite from that whole album.
