  Maggot Brain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maggot Brain is a 1971 (see 1971 in music) album by the American funk band Funkadelic.
This is the definitive album of the Eddie Hazel-era of Funkadelic, and one of the most influential albums in funk-metal, and rock and roll in general.
In the grand scheme of things, Maggot Brain is a mode of being, thinking and existing, in which one transcends the troubles of Earthly existence by revelling in the freedom of funk.

 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.
Primarily, the reputation of this album is based on the title track.
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.

The gatefold sleeve housing the album showed on its front a joyous picture of an afroed woman with her head coming out of the ground, the back cover had a skull coming out of the same earth.
It is said that the album was recorded when the band had taken some yellow sunshine acid, and George Clinton had asked Eddie to play first as if he had just heard that his mother had died, and then as if he had heard that she was in fact still alive.
This track is in many ways the polar opposite of the title track of the album: whilst that is slow and draws out every ounce of its soul, 'Wars of Armageddon' is a fierce funk workout that features Worrell and Hazel at their most brash and brazen.

 Amazon.com: Maggot Brain: Music: Funkadelic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The first song is worth the entire album, earning it the 5 star award: considered by many to be the greatest guitar solo ever, the late Eddie Hazel's "Maggot Brain" is a depressing, bluesy, acid trip that was recorded in one take.
Overall, this album captures Funkadelic in their early stages of development and should be considered essential listening for fans of the group.
As a fan of funk music I found this album to be particularly interesting because of the blend of late 60's psychedelia, heavy guitar, and the quirkiness that would characterize Funkadelic's later albums all combined into one sound.

This is the album where, all at once, everything seems to come together for the legendary band.
But this time they are much more coherent and less reliant on studio trickery and psychedelic effects (with the exception of the album's closer, the instrumental freak-out "Wars of Armageddon").
MAGGOT BRAIN is unquestionably one of rock and funk's all-time classics.

Slipknots first album is not in production anymore due to the fact that the group on MFKR is very different and practically another band.
The track "Slipknot" on this album is actually the same as the song "(sic)" on the self titled album.
The self titled album was recalled, and another one was released without the tracks - "Frail Limb Nursery" and "Purity" due to copyright infringements by the band to CrimeScene.com.

 Sly & The Family Stone: There's A Riot Goin' On ---Ink Blot Magazine
In 1969, the band released their breakthrough album "Stand," and spent the majority of the year touring, turning in a historic performance at Woodstock and galvanizing audiences across the country with their innovative mix of soul, funk, R&B, rock, psychedelia, and pop.
Certainly indicative of the dark struggle inside Sly, the album also hinted at the dissolution of the band that had spent the five previous years drawing up the blueprint for modern funk and soul music.
The band's drummer, Greg Errico, was steadily phasing himself out of the band (he would be effectively gone by the time the album was released), and in his stead Sly employed the unconventional (and possibly enirely original) technique of mixing live drums with what was at the time a primitive drum machine.

 Eddie Hazel MP3 Downloads - Eddie Hazel Music Downloads - Eddie Hazel Music Videos
A hidden gem among the many Parliament/Funkadelic-affiliated albums released during the mid- to late '70s, Eddie Hazel's only official solo album may not sport any perennial classics and may be a bit short on content, yet it became incredibly revered in subsequent years following its quiet release.
Each of the six full-length songs on the brief album feature Hazel laying down fiery guitar solos over loose song structures while the rest of his bandmates hold the song together and the Brides of Funkenstein handle a majority of the vocals.
Though this album doesn't exactly boast great songwriting or stand as a landmark album in the sense of Mothership Connection, it does feature some amazing guitar work on Hazel's part, clearly a vehicle for his soloing.

Purity is a song that appeared on the second, self-titled album "Slipknot" alongside it was the song Frail Limb Nursery.
This song was the cause of the album's rerelease due to the possible uprising of a lawsuit.
The album was originally released with Frail Limb Nursery and Purity as tracks 8 and 9, but Slipknot had to re-release the album without those tracks.

 Funkadelic: Maggot Brain ---Ink Blot Magazine
A constantly shifting cast of backing musicians characterized the group in its later years, culminating in a disbandment that led to the creation of the P-Funk All-Stars, a conglomeration of contributing musicians that continues to tour and record.
But don't let the name of the band, or their color, or the age of this album fool you: Eddie Hazel recorded - in one take - the solo against which all other solos would be measured if he hadn't been African American.
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 cost of making the album was around $30,000 and put the band on the verge of bankrupsey but they had the satisfaction that they were making good music they only ever made 500 copies of that album and they are worth anything up to $250 for an original copy of the album.
They also went to Indigo Ranch studios in Los Angalies to record their début album Slipknot in the first day of recording they made 7 songs for the album, the enthusiasm was so great the producer had to make them stop playing otherwise they would have finished the whole album in 1 night.
Their album Slipknot was released on 29th June 1999 their record was the fastest selling album in Road Runner history.

Things were very slow to begin with and the lake was very quiet; an overnight frost had sent the temperatures plummeting and given that the lake seemed to be no more than three or four feet anywhere I wasn’t surprised.
A couple of hours later, I was back on the maggot and even the Gudgeon seemed to have temporarily deserted me; I suspected Perch or Pike as there were one or two small fish ‘flipping’ at the surface.
A change to three maggots on a number fourteen began to bring forth a succession of Perch — fish between half and three-quarters of a pound.

After all, any album that is defined by the label of "funk", traditionally an upbeat style of music really should not start with a 10 minute guitar solo owing more to the blues than anything else.
Though Maggot Brain is such an awesome track I feel like crying everytime I listen to it (I've only listened to it twice).
this is a really good album, but after hearing maggot brain, the rest of the album pails in comparisson.

But even more helpful was their theatrical, attention-grabbing (some critics said ridiculous) image: the band always performed in identical industrial jump suits and homemade Halloween masks, and added to its mysterious anonymity by adopting the numbers zero through eight as stage aliases.
Add to that a lyrical preoccupation with darkness and nihilism, and an affectionately insulting name for their fans ("Maggots"), and Slipknot's blueprint for nu-metal success was set.
The anticipation for Slipknot's follow-up was intense, and many industry observers predicted that it would debut at number one; however, faced with some stiff competition that week, the band's sophomore effort, Iowa, bowed at number three upon its release in 2001.

 Maggot Brain Review | Funkadelic | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
The rest of the album is also pretty kickass, with multi-part gospel style backing vocal harmonies from the vocalists of George Clinton's closely linked project, Parliament, over funky keyboard and guitar riffs for the first seven tracks, which were the tracks on the original LP.
It's a very, very good album, with many styles all perfectly integrated into a whole which is not quite like anything else.
If this album was lost or stolen I'd complain a lot and then buy it again, and then probably buy another copy just as backup.

 Independent Lens . PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC: One Nation Under a Groove . The Music | PBS
George Clinton and the two groups, Parliament and Funkadelic, released a staggering amount of albums over half a century of recording, resulting in an oeuvre that exemplified the creativity and collectivity of P-Funk itself, espoused and defined a funk-based mythology that advocated dance, freedom and social change.
George Clinton has referred to this album as, “Let’s see if we can cut a whole album while we’re all tripping on acid.” A seminal Funkadelic release, Free Your Mind… employs several subversive Christian themes, with the notion that “the kingdom of heaven is within” and salvation can be reached through freeing one’s mind.
Drawing from funk, soul and R&B, the album’s tight focus shines in such songs as the title track, a paean to fl power in an era of white suburban flight.

Yes, faithful Maggoteers, these are the much ballyhooed new jams that we have been in the process of working on in the Studio.
Without the Maggot factor, Miami Electro/Street/Bass music not and could not be as diverse as it actually is. This uptempo track also has the flavor of mid 80's style of the Jamron sound.
