I still can not understand how many people leave Eddie Hazel out of the mix on greatest guitarist rankings and compilations. He's definitely among the top 10 all time greatest guitarist in my book. I pioneer in the craft.
Eddie Hazel sure can pick ‘em up and lay ‘em down. This is most definitely more of a rock/blues tune which gave him some time to show what he possessed in that genre. Just straight ahead jam!!!! I jam with a bunch of my friends and we always play this song until our fingers bleed. You don’t have to be a good player, just have the balls to hop the train when it comes ‘round to you. 😎🤘
Mann Carter: Imagine if he'd ended his already-epic Super Bowl performance of Purple Rain by covering Maggot Brain, with the smoothest and seamless of segues between and unannounced ahead of time, and made everyone (the teams, the League execs., the fans in the stands, the corporate sponsors eager to get their commercials aired before second half play commenced, and the viewers watching the game on TV or via streaming service) wait thru the entire duration of this 10-min. + song to play-out -- who would dare say no to Prince ad-libbing on-the-fly like that?!?!
yes this cover here beats the original hands down no matter what Watch "Maggot Brain Cover - Eddie Hazel Tribute" on UA-cam ua-cam.com/video/iDJWgo3ojTA/v-deo.html
OMG! Santana, this dude is a genuis as well as Earl, I would have NEVER thought anyone could re-do this tune and make me love it as much as the original....OMG!
My 15 year old grandson has just introduced me to Maggot brain. As a lifelong fan of Santana this has been such an amazing discovery. Never heard it before . I'm sure I'm going to have more amazing journeys with him. The joys of being a grandma with a like minded musically grandson x
Wow came here to say exactly this and was amazed to see it was even voted as the top comment, totally agree. Santana really just see's it as a way to shred some melodies and scales, where as Hazel gets into your mind with every note and creates this melty ambivalent environment of love and emotion lol, love Maggot brain. Thanks for playing it Santana but long live Eddie Hazel.
And for those of you all who are unfamiliar with Ronnie Earl - please give a listen. His style is as soulful as Mr. Santana's. A genuinely superb blues player. Great rendition of this song, too
Mr Ronnie earl to me has what I call feel! I loved his take! Santana can Holler like no one else and beautiful as always! I love the authenticity at their take on it!
@@JGtheMainEvent Yeah, I never heard of this song until today when I stumbled over it watching a bucket head video, so I watched the Eddie version with Funakdelic, then this came on after! I'm defiantly getting my ears spoiled!!!!
Carlos , I still and can never forget when I first saw you playing - Soul Sacrifice in August 1969 at Woodstock , 50 years ago , And everybody was there Eddie Hazel - Rest In Peace - my friend -- So Eddie kindly look down take a peak at 11 year old Taj Farrant , Playing your Maggot Brain , Very Impressive young man ,, And he is friends with Carlos Santana ,, And I will say a little prayer for everybody tonight
Also Taj Farrant, I have my eye on him. But I still don't find the energy of this time of music. Maybe it can't be recreated but it's amazing and I guess obsessive in a way that says it just has to played. I love that Santana just surrounded himself with such beautiful musicians. Listening to some of his albums start to finish are just beautiful.
I was in elementary school in the late 60’s early 70’s and in the auditorium at some function that is blurry in my mind, someone had the Maggot Brain album. The distinctive album cover always stuck with me BUT, even though I later became a big fan of Parliament/Funkadelic of the mid to late 70’s of my high school life I never delved into what became before the releases of those years. Fast forward to the present and the past few days have brought me back to Maggot Brain, this being my first time hearing it and being completely blown away. The depth of emotion in this composition touches me deep in my soul with my mother having passed in August and now my Dad also a little more than 3 months later.
Both are great guitarist, yes indeed. There are others, for instance the guitarist who wrote that particular music solo, Eddie Hazel. Listen to the studio cut of "Maggot Brain" next time. A masterpiece! RIP, Eddie...
THE REASON IT SOUNDS SO SAD, AND THIS IS A FACT, IS THAT GEORGE ASKED EDDIE TO PLAY RE-CALL THE SADDEST MOMENT HE EVER HAD IN HIS LIFE AND EDDIE REFLECTED ON HIS FEELINGS THE DAY HIS MOTHER DIED. NOW THAT'S POWER--A SON'S LOVE FOR HIS MAMMA.! May Mrs. Hazel forever rest in peace!
Idk man.. I get the feeling of surrealism when I hear this. I could be cruising the streets and with this song on for some reason I grab more of the “now moment.” Feels like those nostalgic moments you look back on from the future. Eddie’s sound is great, but Ronnie and Carlos have something just as beautiful here.
@1Delta I myself never heard this before, but thanks to Carlos, now I have. Eddie Hazel is not only a great guitarist but he's also an originator. Too bad it took me 41 years before I got to know who he was.
Love Santana. Love Eddie Hazel. Flawless as his style is. It doesn't really move me until about 6:30 then he starts to make it his own, but as soon as it ends. It ends.Leaving little to no lasting impression. I just watched a video of Eddie perform in concert on Last.fm it also left me without the feeling or lingering impression that the 1971 single take recording still elicits after 47 years. There's something unique about it that has people entranced from the beginning till long after its over. Clinton fiddled with it in the studio in a way that no other performance can recreate.The entire track was recorded in one take. The solo is played in a pentatonic minor scale in the key of E over another guitar track of a simple arpeggio. Hazel's solo was played through a fuzzbox and a wah pedal; some sections of the song utilize a delay effect. The only things I can figure that give it its unique qualities are maybe the physical dimensions of the recording area and /or the state of mind of the artists and techs making the 1971 recording. uh oh I may have spoken to soon. The mantel has been passed IMO to Michael Weber. Hear him own this piece. I don't believe Eddie Hazel is offended, cuz Michael has risen above it all! KUDOS MIchael! ua-cam.com/video/pEZ_U7T7WZs/v-deo.html
Maggot Brain is the guitarist holy grail.Everyone tries it at least once. and what are the songs made famous and played by one man has as many spins on it as this one does
Even Eddie Hazel played it with variations over time. That’s part of what makes it funky... the rhythm leaves lots of room for an to express themselves individually while sticking to the foundations that identify the piece. This is not like classical music where the player is confined to play notes by note.
every time I hear some one like this do that song I am happy that it will be and still is the greatest song ever written in our time Musiclly. This is a clean version it is good, it is not Hazel and Hampton no but it is a great song just the same.I hope to hear the next generation doing this song their way.
I know how this works they don't come to me I come to them 👍👍👍🤔👍😍😍😘😘 I remember my girl saying you go back to what you love and I go back to what I love 👍🤔🙄
Done with style and more true to the original version and opposed to the more modern reading that most do based off of Mike Hampton's 1978 SLAYING of the song. Well done.
Actually that quote (also used in the recording of "Hong Kong Blues" on Viva Santana!) is from Carlos and Greg Rolie's "Treat" from the first Santana album. Like a jazzman, Carlos often embroiders and interpolates melody lines and phrases from other compositions-- including his own. Cheers!
Both talented guitarists, and I've been a Santana fan since Oye como va & Jingo back in the 70's. But it just isn't sad enough. Blues in the minor mode and he and Earl still make you want to just have a Coke and a smile.
well it's always interested to see another look upon a song and ronnie plays a great solo i think oke it's not loud but still very creative i think , santana seems to like it.
Here are two of my favourite guitar players. I love the way Ronnie Earl still manages to make sense of his Blues phrasing on this tune. Who cares who is better! Music, when at it's best is beyond qualification other than soulful one....and this is soulful. Now if only they could both play on Song Of The Wind! Let's get Santana, Ronnie Earl and Robben Ford on that one!
whenwillpeopleunderstand that sounds are detached from ownership. once it is produced, boom it exists its out there, and in this case you'll never succeed to compare both because there's absolutely no diference between them: they'r just two separeted interpretations of the same idea of the sound. its as simple as if eddie cooked baked potatoes and added a special sauce while santana steals the recipe and changes it for french fries and its own spice. they nothin alike but they both taste awesome
Don't you just love it when greats cover greats, much respect to Carlos Santana And his band mates a parliafunkadelicment thang kudos to this live show, Eddie hazel would be happy and George Clinton is always smiling look at most of photos just look on the back of the Parliament live album, no one does it better, Bootsy Collins as well, these guys had fun playing P-FUNK 2020 !
I love Carlos, but I just dont get the feel here. When Hazel played the tune, he was told to play it like his momma just died, and he captured that with amazing feeling. But sorry Carlos, I just dont feel that here. Carlos is great, but I dont know if anyone could ever capture that amazing feeling that Eddie Hazel ever did.
+Junii Waves Not comparing the talent of both, as yes I agree, they both kick some major ass, but I just find it hard for anyone to bring to the table the emotion Eddie did in this song. Its kind of like Hollywood and the garbage they are doing today with all the remakes. Certain movies, and songs, just should never be remade.
+mybourbon george clinton told eddie to play like he had been *told* his mother had just died, *but then learned it wasn't true*. this captures the feeling pretty well to me.
i like how people are shocked and disappointed at how santana happens to put soul into his art differently than hazel & hampton did? pfffft surprise, sur-fuckingprise lmao learn to appreciate art not judge it
i disagree; people who criticize art and judge it harshly, poignantly, and precisely do a service for all artists who want to improve upon what is already great. if we allow ourselves to think that the Mona Lisa is the greatest painting there ever was, is, and always will be then we confine everyone else's art as inferior for all-time. art is very subjective however so today's trash might be tomorrow's greatest achievement in art and today's art will be tomorrow's trash because as time goes on, people learn from yesteryear's masters and get better and better at making art (be it music, literature, painting, or otherwise). but hey, that's just my opinion and you might have a different opinion of your own which if you do i respect but i hope you don't take offense as it is only a difference in opinions.
santanickinhell yeh i definitely agree, infact id see criticism as a form of appreciation when its the right kind.. however if you're making a snap judgement based on disappointment derived from preconceptions you only have yourself to blame.
soh loh People can have their opinions. If you can't handle someone else's right to that opinion, then you only have yourself to blame. I don't think this stands up to Hazel or Hampton's versions. It's ok, but it's definitely missing something. You might think about what you're saying re: judging others, as you're doing the same damned thing to those who are criticizing this work.
Cubroncs03 you cant just say "anything to come out of my mouth is my opinion and thus imperfectly perfect and irrefutable" lmao fucking tool, american definition of opinion over here
I have been a staunch fan of everything connected with George Clinton since 1970. I have never heard Santa do Maggot Brain before. This is fantastic , it made my day
Sounds like they are just jamming, maybe getting warmed up, so when he fires into his stuff, he has a little heat worked up. I don't think he was or would try to "out-do" the original. No reason to moan, cringe and criticize. I thought it was cool for him to do a Hazel number.
Interesting enough to keep my attention... hoping to find a ;itt;e santanic spice added but alas EVERY version live and studio from the original funksters continue to blow everything away! .. still this is worrthy of a thumbs up tho.
It amazes me how many times and how many ways maggot brain has been covered. That's the sign of a true masterpiece.
o yea
Maggot brain is different to us all we have to get the maggots out our minds somehow
BTW getting maggots out mind to me means getting rid of bad thoughts if don't get rid of bad thoughts you drown in them why this song is so deep
i played it last night here in france and nobody knew it but they all loved it so much that they all came as 1 on the one.
I still can not understand how many people leave Eddie Hazel out of the mix on greatest guitarist rankings and compilations. He's definitely among the top 10 all time greatest guitarist in my book. I pioneer in the craft.
I’d put him on top 2
Ethnics always get left out of everything. That's why they have own awards
Eddie is The GOAT
Eddie Hazel sure can pick ‘em up and lay ‘em down. This is most definitely more of a rock/blues tune which gave him some time to show what he possessed in that genre. Just straight ahead jam!!!! I jam with a bunch of my friends and we always play this song until our fingers bleed. You don’t have to be a good player, just have the balls to hop the train when it comes ‘round to you. 😎🤘
Can you recommend me songs by him? showing his best playing moments.
This, and all versions are awesome...There are no rules here. Maggot Brain is the gift to all who jam it,, and funk is it's own reward.
Well said my brother.
Amen!!!! Don't fight the funk!!!!!!
This maggot brain version that Santana and Ronnie earl did was amazing unbelievable ..the whole band was on point no doubt
Bull shit
I would have loved to see Prince do Maggot Brain...
Can u imagine??? Prolly wouldve been unbeleivable
Damn if I wasn’t thinking the same thing. 😎
It might be in his vault some where...
@@Rey-Nolds Hope so...
Mann Carter: Imagine if he'd ended his already-epic Super Bowl performance of Purple Rain by covering Maggot Brain, with the smoothest and seamless of segues between and unannounced ahead of time, and made everyone (the teams, the League execs., the fans in the stands, the corporate sponsors eager to get their commercials aired before second half play commenced, and the viewers watching the game on TV or via streaming service) wait thru the entire duration of this 10-min. + song to play-out -- who would dare say no to Prince ad-libbing on-the-fly like that?!?!

Thanks for playing it Santana but long live Eddie Hazel.
Santana my man hes playing always takes me to a happy place.
Santana once again demonstrates to everyone why it is that he is so great! He takes somebody else's song and makes it his own by playing it his way!
Agreed
Santana kills it here. Such a brilliant guitarist.
His tone is so strong and nice!
I met them..even dated Eddies ex..auditioned for for funkadelic...Eddie Hazel, Glen Goins Mike Hampton, Blackbird, Gary Shieder...awesome...
Thanks a lot -- Carlos & Ronnie -- We enjoyed it very much
And for those of you all who are unfamiliar with Ronnie Earl - please give a listen. His style is as soulful as Mr. Santana's. A genuinely superb blues player. Great rendition of this song, too
Mr Ronnie earl to me has what I call feel! I loved his take! Santana can Holler like no one else and beautiful as always! I love the authenticity at their take on it!
What a joy it must have been to be in that audience...wow
This shows Eddie Hazel’s underrated legacy. Research how many versions of this one solo are out there.
I've watched about 8 so far just tonight...that's how I got here lol ✊🏾🔥
@@JGtheMainEvent Yeah, I never heard of this song until today when I stumbled over it watching a bucket head video, so I watched the Eddie version with Funakdelic, then this came on after! I'm defiantly getting my ears spoiled!!!!

Klasse Interpretation von den Gitarristen Carlos Santana und Ron Earl dieses großartigen Stücks von Funkadelic! Gänsehautsound!
Carlos , I still and can never forget when I first saw you playing - Soul Sacrifice in August 1969 at Woodstock , 50 years ago , And everybody was there
Eddie Hazel - Rest In Peace - my friend -- So Eddie kindly look down take a peak at 11 year old Taj Farrant , Playing your Maggot Brain , Very Impressive young man ,, And he is friends with Carlos Santana ,, And I will say a little prayer for everybody tonight
Dam you were at Woodstock? Lucky man if only I wasn’t born 30 years later 😔
I can't imagine seeing Santana and everyone live. They were practically kids and just creating a new soulful music world.
Also Taj Farrant, I have my eye on him. But I still don't find the energy of this time of music. Maybe it can't be recreated but it's amazing and I guess obsessive in a way that says it just has to played. I love that Santana just surrounded himself with such beautiful musicians. Listening to some of his albums start to finish are just beautiful.
Just discovered this genius by chance. Such beautiful touch, feel and emotion. His name is Ronnie Earl.
I was in elementary school in the late 60’s early 70’s and in the auditorium at some function that is blurry in my mind, someone had the Maggot Brain album.

We use to listen during break in highschool 1971!!!!!!!
Such a beautiful song and the talent of the musicians is awesome!
How does this not have a million veiws
Both are great guitarist, yes indeed.
There are others, for instance the guitarist who wrote that particular music solo, Eddie Hazel.
Listen to the studio cut of "Maggot Brain" next time.
A masterpiece! RIP, Eddie...
This is just PURE!!! That's what I at least experienced while listening to the song!

This is a tune you had 2 see live so many tryed 2 do came close

Parabéns por ter postado este vídeo. Tenho em VHS, um tesouro.
Maggot Brain is the guitarist holy grail.Everyone tries it at least once. and what are the songs made famous and played by one man has as many spins on it as this one does
The original from Hazel is THE one, for sure. But that's a pretty decent cover, much much better than a LOT I've heard on UA-cam.
KiddFunkadelics version ain’t bad on UA-cam 🤘🏼
Even Eddie Hazel played it with variations over time. That’s part of what makes it funky... the rhythm leaves lots of room for an to express themselves individually while sticking to the foundations that identify the piece. This is not like classical music where the player is confined to play notes by note.
I love Maggot Brain and all covers but this one is super awsome and Buckethead cover is also super
every time I hear some one like this do that song I am happy that it will be and still is the greatest song ever written in our time Musiclly. This is a clean version it is good, it is not Hazel and Hampton no but it is a great song just the same.I hope to hear the next generation doing this song their way.
Good but can't touch the original
awesome performance!
Dude..... Ronnie Earl... just wow.
Is that who that is, wow he's incredible!
Also very taunting lol.

this own Santana's "Hong Kong Blues" song insertion on the finale is terrific!!!
Thank you for this Video ! It's filled with pure emotions and vibes ! Good bless you ! ^_^
Yeah. Maggot Brain,
It's a sick cover, love it

nice quality video and audio
Pretty good but nothing beats the original on this song. RIP Eddie, lots have covered it but yours is still the one
So awesome...
this song had santana written all over it since i heard it. Glad he did a cover!
Santana the best !!!! C'est magnifique 👏👏🙏❤
Done with style and more true to the original version and opposed to the more modern reading that most do based off of Mike Hampton's 1978 SLAYING of the song. Well done.
Legends cannot be dead 🖤🙏🏼🧙🏼♂️
Oh my!!! What a beautiful rendition!!
Actually that quote (also used in the recording of "Hong Kong Blues" on Viva Santana!) is from Carlos and Greg Rolie's "Treat" from the first Santana album. Like a jazzman, Carlos often embroiders and interpolates melody lines and phrases from other compositions-- including his own. Cheers!
I'M IN MAGGOT BRAIN HEAVEN!!!!!
the 80s rhodes synth piano REALLY makes this song. yea.
CARLOS IS ONE OF THE BEST
Uwielbiam ten utwór a ta wersja jest wspaniała. Jak to u Santany.
damn, dude on the keyboard tore it up!
Both talented guitarists, and I've been a Santana fan since Oye como va & Jingo back in the 70's. But it just isn't sad enough. Blues in the minor mode and he and Earl still make you want to just have a Coke and a smile.
well it's always interested to see another look upon a song and ronnie plays a great solo i think oke it's not loud but still very creative i think , santana seems to like it.
Mr Ronnie Earl !!
Here are two of my favourite guitar players. I love the way Ronnie Earl still manages to make sense of his Blues phrasing on this tune. Who cares who is better! Music, when at it's best is beyond qualification other than soulful one....and this is soulful. Now if only they could both play on Song Of The Wind! Let's get Santana, Ronnie Earl and Robben Ford on that one!
whenwillpeopleunderstand that sounds are detached from ownership. once it is produced, boom it exists its out there, and in this case you'll never succeed to compare both because there's absolutely no diference between them: they'r just two separeted interpretations of the same idea of the sound.
its as simple as if eddie cooked baked potatoes and added a special sauce while santana steals the recipe and changes it for french fries and its own spice. they nothin alike but they both taste awesome
It’s self expression! Who would want this song Played exactly like the original. Prince would have brought it back to fit his style.
MERVEILLEUX , SUBLIME , DIVIN SIMPLEMENT
......MOTHER. May Mrs Hazel forever rest in peace...
TOO BEATIFULLLLLLL ROP TROP TROP BEAU BEAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Nice version
I know what these guys mean man don't get too close when they in the zone❤❤❤
I feel like i hopped from one dream to another
@ariil I'm with you on that one. Surprising too, I thought it would be perfect for his style.

whoa.....carlos goes from eddie hazel to bernie worrell at 6:50, that is insane maggot brain!

Carlos one of the best. A mastero.
Enjoyed it, although it was missing some stank. The pace was slower than the original. Nice tribute!
amazing.
I love Carlos, but I just dont get the feel here. When Hazel played the tune, he was told to play it like his momma just died, and he captured that with amazing feeling. But sorry Carlos, I just dont feel that here. Carlos is great, but I dont know if anyone could ever capture that amazing feeling that Eddie Hazel ever did.
+mybourbon Lets not compare them, there both very talented guitarist with different sound
+Junii Waves Not comparing the talent of both, as yes I agree, they both kick some major ass, but I just find it hard for anyone to bring to the table the emotion Eddie did in this song. Its kind of like Hollywood and the garbage they are doing today with all the remakes. Certain movies, and songs, just should never be remade.
mybourbon You are very correct
+mybourbon george clinton told eddie to play like he had been *told* his mother had just died, *but then learned it wasn't true*. this captures the feeling pretty well to me.
+mybourbon I agree. I have always held the highest opinion of Carlos' playing, but this does not even do the song justice. Just horrible.
People do not understand music this is Eddie Hazel song Forever Maggot Brain
@1Delta there are more on youtube.
