And here I am, just finding MB in 2021. Hate that I missed out on such an amazing song for so long. It reminds me of the solo from PWA Instrumental by 5th Ward Boyz. It was played by JB Money aka Joseph Bythewood, a guitar player that played on countless hit rap and R&B records from the 80s until he was murdered a few years ago, by his own adult son. Joe was an amazing guitar player and, in fact, is the person who introduced me to Maggot Brain to begin with. It's a long story but to make it short, I finally figured out who played guitar on that 5th Ward Boyz song this year and when I looked up Joe Bythewood on KZread, I found a vid of him playing Maggot Brain. And that was my introduction to one of the greatest solos ever written. On any instrument. Thank you, Eddie and Joe and Kidd. ❤️🎸🙏

I had never seen a guitar stand like that until last year during the 2020 Great Guitar Build Off. One competitor built a triple neck guitar and also built one of those stands for it. I had no idea those stands even existed and now I see them all the time since seeing the first one last year on the Texas Toast Guitars 'Triple Neck Challenger' named The Hater Maker. Challenger is their own single cut model of guitar they sell. Sort of a Tele and LP combo kinda.

MAN CAN YOU IMAGINE WERE HE WAS AT WHEN HE FIRST DONE M B IN THE STUDIO? MAN.........
Outside of the funk music community, Michael Hampton doesn't get the recognition as a guitarist like he deserves to be getting. Hampton is definitely one of the greatest guitarist I've ever heard! Michael's version of maggot brain is a work of art!

Hey Mike! It's Doll from Cousins Drive! You still the best guitarist I ever known.... bad azz... lol... Imma catch your next concert.
I enjoyed seeing and hearing him play this. He had me put up the P🤘🏽like I was a Parlafunkadelicment Thang concert. NO ONE CAN PLAY THIS LIKE HE DOES. NO ONE! Why has he stopped touring with the P? When Parliament comes out with it long await CD I hope he's on it with a few other originals. GOD Bless You Mike.
Thank you for sharing this great video Eearl!

Met Mike on the road a few times times throughout the years.....super cool dude......
I had never seen a guitar stand like that until last year during the 2020 Great Guitar Build Off. One competitor built a triple neck guitar and also built one of those stands for it. I had no idea those stands even existed and now I see them all the time since seeing the first one last year on the Texas Toast Guitars 'Triple Neck Challenger' named The Hater Maker. Challenger is their own single cut model of guitar they sell. Sort of a Tele and LP combo kinda.

I miss the hell outta my teenage years. Jammin' to this, tokin' on some tasty Red Bud with the the water bubbling at the bottom of the bong. Marijuana has been the kindest drug ever to me. Fuck opioids and all the overdoses to the point of death! Fuck ALL prescription drugs coming along and snatching your ass out of this world! Fuck losing everything and ending up homeless! Fuck turning to thievery to get your next go around with the needle, pills, or blow! Fuck alienating yourself from your family who have had enough of your overdosing to the brink of death on your drug of choice! Fuck using up and bleeding dry everyone who loved you, and will never be able to trust you again! Fuck the last paragraph of your life landing in the obituaries!
What up Earl...
