Maggot Brain throwdown

Post by Bellyheart »

Some fun fuzz madness and a great song. I was reading how George Clinton came straight from the Mothership and turned down the rest of the band, because he felt Hazel's solo was so powerful it could stand its' own. Whatcha tink?

Legend has it that when they were writing this song, George goes up to Eddie and asks him to play a solo as if he had just found out his momma had died. Whoa.

That was when this was recorded I believe Eddie wrote it when he was 17.
