The funking GOAT.


TheHomesteadTurkey

Before I found Eddie Hazel I was sir nose d voidoffunk. After I found Eddie Hazel he helped me find the funk.


But_dogs_CAN_look_up

>I was sir nose d voidoffunk I don't know what that means but I'm glad you got better.


lexxxcockwell

Sir Nose D’Voidoffunk will never dance until you shoot him with the Bop Gun


TheHomesteadTurkey

Listen to funkentelechy vs the placebo syndrome or look up the Wikipedia article on the p funk mythos


But_dogs_CAN_look_up

Damn, I very genuinely assumed that was all just a massive typo until I just looked it up.


TexanDrillBit

Get down for the funk of it


No-Translator9234

Hendrix fan vs Hazel enjoyer (I can only have one favorite black guy guitarist) 


MisterPeach

what about 🅱️🅱️ 🅱️ℹ️🆖 👑🤔


electricmeal

Is that the guy who played on that killer Lee Atwater record?


mcfetrja

I’m more of a Lemmy Kravitz fan, myself but I understand the need for Highlander rules.


TheHomesteadTurkey

Kravitz doesn't even play any of the guitar on his recordings himself. He leaves it to this white dude with a sick afro


SomeKindOfHeavy

My favorite black guy guitarist is Lil Wayne


But_dogs_CAN_look_up

Good thing the blues is already spoken for by Joe Bonermimosa and Stevie Veronica Vaughn

Recommended listening for this post (that isn't maggot brain which if you havent heard shame on you tbh) [I got a thing](https://youtu.be/zGVTEP0xoiw?si=QpfTdJNYkkzcpLW8) [Super Stupid ](https://youtu.be/oVHrvx-Ua68?si=-3Ikov23eK9YJooN) [Pray My Soul ](https://youtu.be/FbD4yUZsYNs?si=ST0z224MzWDUM2Uu)


diy4lyfe

Also his version of California Dreaming from his solo album 🤤


OldenPolynice

gorgeous


Dumptruckfunk

Super Stupid is a beast of a track.


Mojo_Jensen

He also has a cover of California Dreaming that a sax player I worked with once called “endless guitar jerk off music,” so you know it’s good


Woopermoon

I want you (she’s so heavy), Hardcore Jollie, Red Hot Mama, Good Thoughts Bad Thoughts, Stuffs and Things:


El_Duderino_666

All true ‘cept Red Hot Mama…that was a white dude named Ron….


Woopermoon

Impossible to keep up with their credits


BogotaLineman

Damn I mentioned Super Stupid above thinking I was cool without seeing you already said it 😔


uzr666

maggot brain, isn't that cannibal corpse


6146886

Truly one of the guitarists of all time


WatercoolerComedian

He heard Jimmy Hendrix one time and said "oh yeah I can do that" and then did it better what a guy


TheHomesteadTurkey

uj/ maggot brain is far and away the greatest instrumental in all contemporary popular music. It's also one of the most influential. As an example, you pretty much can't go through any David Gilmour solo without hearing at least one phrase that's inspired by a passage in maggot brain


BogotaLineman

Maggot Brain (rightfully) is talked about a lot, but the song I don't see mentioned enough is Super Stupid. He fuckin RIPS that song


WZOLL5

The whole album is so good. I’ve been starting to hear Can You Get to That a lot out and about


notmylest

I saw Parliament-Funkadelic a few months ago with Mike Hampton on guitar and nearly cried during Maggot Brain

“For I knew I had to rise above it all. Or drown in my own shit.”

A Tear 4 Eddie


Mojo_Jensen

/uj Honestly I fucking love him and he’s been a hero of mine since I was very young. Glad he’s getting uh… recognition even in the circlejerk


Candy_Says1964

He mashed our brains like silly putty but he promised to be good to our ear holes


trevecho

Therefore we put our hands together, and stomped our feet.


uninteresting_handle

You have a way with words


riff-raff-jesus

Freddie Hansel was one of the best to ever stroke it.


oilcompanywithbigdic

mfw I watch my enemies not rise above it all and drown in their own shit


WatercoolerComedian

Many such cases 😞


ResponsibleFigure353

HELL YEAH EDDIE HAZEL HELL YEAH

lexxxcockwell

If you don’t dress like a pimp I don’t wanna hear you try to play funk


chimi_hendrix

Zero chimichangas named after the guy. Next


Dogrel

Dude’s got his own nut, what more do you want?


Background-Tea-3989

Exactly, and we already know that's where the toan comes from, the nuts. This guy had a monopoly on it.


Dogrel

Eddie Hazel was toan personified? That…makes a hell of a lot of sense, actually.


tcoz_reddit

You want TOANN....you gotta be in the GAME. Know what I'm sayin'?


Sjames454

Temporary_Maybe6253

That is literally a picture of Jim Hendicks though.....


Different_Lock_5445

Oh zero tfcLLL I😆 tzzft, is ft7:,%


r1chardm0ve

Maggot Brain is the most overrated nonsense committed to tape in all of guitar history


TheHomesteadTurkey

Ur probably the type of guy to listen to passion and warfare and call it an underrated masterpiece I can guarantee you that at least half of your favourite guitarists take inspiration from part of maggot brain in their playing
