  Funkadelic Guitarist : Eddie Hazel..In Memoriam@TheFunkStore.com
Maggot Brain ended up being one of the group's more essential albums, thanks primarily to Hazel's guitar playing.
The song's origins are supposedly rooted in a recording session where Clinton told Hazel to envision the saddest thought possible, his mother's death, and use that vision as inspiration.
These problems most obviously came to light on the follow-up to Maggot Brain, 1972's America Eats Its Young, where Hazel's role was minimal.

The concept of "Maggot Brain" is, however, very important in understanding P Funk mythology.

Playing like "[his] momma just died", Hazel evokes a superb scope of emotions throughout his guitar solo, ranging from the melancholic and mournful lows to the euphoric and ecstatical highs (when Clinton reportedly told him to play as if he had found out his mother was alive).
If "Maggot Brain" was a solo voice wailing out against the negativity of the time, then the aforementioned "Wars of Armageddon" was multiple voices living out that depressing lifestyle.
Maggot Brain is an essential album that deserves to be heard by anyone, funk-fans or not.

 Maggot Brain by Funkadelic - It's Eddie Hazel's World
Maggot Brain from 1971 is definitely the entry point to the world of George Clinton for rock guitar fans.
Plus, "Maggot Brain" is a more impressive act of guitar expression than about anything by Jim Hendrix- and Hendrix was, you know, pretty handy with a guitar.
For another frame of reference, the guitar sounds like a stylistic ancestor to the song "Purple Rain." Now, Prince did some fine guitar playing on that track, but this is ten times stronger guitar medicine- yet considerably more subdued in the effect.

Within weeks of the release of "Maggot Brain" drummer Tiki Fulwood, responsible for the irresistible groove that underpinned the group even on their wildest flights of fancy, had left and been replaced by Tyrone Lampkin.
George put the band low in the mix on the final master and so we have included as a bonus track the 1987 remix of 'Maggot Brain' taken from the original multi-tracks where the whole band's playing is audible.
"Maggot Brain" saw a drop off in chart positions for Funkadelic, with the album peaking at #14 on the R&B charts, though it spent longer than "Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow" on those charts.

 Las Vegas Mercury: Replay: Funkadelic, Maggot Brain, 1971
The source of enlightenment was Maggot Brain--a bitter pill that bookends a handful of punchy soul jams with a pair of 10-minute funk freakouts.
Arguably Clinton's most ambitious recording, Maggot Brain blends funk, soul, psychedelic rock, country gospel and blues boogie into an otherworldly burgoo--in the process, answering his famous query: "Who says a funk band can't rock?" More than any of his contemporaries--Sly Stone and Isaac Hayes, in particular--Clinton straddled funk and rock like a dreadlocked colossus.
Although Clinton denies the connection, some rock historians have suggested that the album's title was inspired by his dead brother, who Clinton allegedly discovered with his head cracked open in a Chicago apartment.

Perhaps one of the darker albums of the early 1970s, Maggot Brain is a successful experiment and a tremendous success for Funkadelic's 3rd album.
It serves almost as an "upper" from the depressing Maggot Brain, but is a fine song on its own.
Hazel's searing work on Maggot Brain is brilliant and arguably the finest solo put down in the studio during that guitar-laden decade in rock, with Back in Our Minds & Super Stupid equally outstanding.

Your brain just isn't supposed to be on your outside, and presents almost no barrier to anything when exposed.
However, too often people get caught in the trap of assuming that because photographs don't match the explanations accompanying them, the pictures must have been fabricated or manipulated, and one conclusion doesn't necessarily follow from the other.
Although the explanations quoted above are erroneous, these images are in fact real and undoctored, and they are indeed photographs taken of a patient whose brain surface was exposed and crawling with insects.

For I knew I had to rise above it all, or drown in my own shit”, Hazel effectively steers this meditational title track to unbelievable heights; it is a patient guitar build up, maybe hippy in tone at times but always possessing an incredible focus and inner strength.

 Funkadelic: Maggot Brain ---Ink Blot Magazine
Sorry to play the race card, but it MUST be true.
The story on Maggot Brain is that George Clinton, out of his mind on Yellow Sunshine, told Hazel to play the first half of the song as if he had just heard that his own mother was dead, and then the second half as if he had found out she was alive.
The result is beyond "astonishing" or "powerful" or anything else critics usually say; it's an improvised composition, of both deep blues purity and cold, hard, futuristic vision.

 Funkadelic :: Maggot Brain :: Westbound
It begins by thrusting you through the abysmal depths of solitude, explores the stratospheric euphoria of the purest high, the celestial heights of drug-induced bliss, the hellish caverns of the inevitable comedown.
If there is one minor complaint, it's that there isn't another "Maggot Brain" to more vividly illustrate the somber sobering process that must entail every escapist episode.
Still, this is a tiny complaint to lodge about an album that is, in every single way, a celebration of all things soulful, funky and mind-expanding about music.

 Maggot Brain, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
From George Clinton's own mouth, I was told Eddie Hazel dropped that traumatic solo on "Maggot Brain" in one take after George told mama's boy Eddie to imagine he'd been told his mother was dead and then found out it wasn't true.
The title track is your brain on LSD buried alive in a coffin and resurrected on the third day.
As Hendrix had tapped into the big O's infinite feminine side on "Machine Gun," so Hazel did likewise on "Maggot," and left us with a symphony's worth of memorable acid-torched ideas and transcendental catharsis.

The centerpiece of the album is the mindblowing "Maggot Brain" title track -- a tune that begins with a chilling spoken intro, then slowly builds amidst washes and washes of post-Hendrix guitar.
That cut then rolls into some shorter, funkier numbers that rank with some of the group's best ever -- using the device of party-hearty energy to convey a sense of alienation and horror at the world.
Titles include "Maggot Brain", "Super Stupid", "Back in Our Minds", "Can You Get to That", and "Wars of Armageddon".
