We know, of course, that two bands became one, with Parliament the soul outlet and Funkadelic the psychedelic rock outlet, with much crossover and intermixing. The album was produced by George Clinton with executive producer Armen Boladian. Album supervision was by Bob Scerbo , with co-ordination by Dorothy Schwartz. Cover photography was by Joel Brodsky , inside cover photography by Ron Scribner.

The model on front cover was Barbara Cheeseborough ; back-cover model not identified! Apocryphal or not, Hazel, certainly evokes that. Though several other musicians began the track playing, Clinton soon realized the power of Hazel's solo and faded them out so that the focus would be on Hazel's guitar. Critics have described the solo as "lengthy, mind-melting" and the ending as "an emotional apocalypse of sound. 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 original version with full band accompaniment was released in on the album "Funkadelic Finest". There are no reviews yet. See All. Augustine Amphitheatre.

The self-titled Funkadelic debut dropped in Maggot Brain appeared in mid-July the following year. Funkadelic shared management with all three. There were some serious guitarists in those bands, but they all wanted to be Eddie Hazel. The album offered an eruption of psychedelic agit-funk that blended the increasingly bleak American story—urban decay, prime time body counts from an ongoing slog through Vietnam, and front page assassinations—with the sounds of Hendrix, Motown, James Brown, Cream, Sly Stone, Blue Cheer and Vanilla Fudge.

Maggot Brain may have captured the anxiety and confusion of the era better than any other album, and no song exemplified the album quite like the title track. A devoted Stratocaster player, Hazel likely recorded the track on one—he owned at least one sun-burst model from the late s and later a series of 3-bolt models from the CBS-era.
