Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time, for y'all have knocked her up. I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe. I was not offended, for I knew I had to rise above it all, or drown in my own shit.
wow! goosebumps! i guess the reason you have many guitars is that they got to rest a long time when they re being played like that, it feels like you’re taking everything the guitar can give you. I’m so impressed by how you can play 20 minutes and never sound repetitive and include different technics but never sound like it’s for showing off, everything is here for a reason. Bravo Dave, Im glad youtube exist for people like you to share their talent to the world. (English isn’t my native language, sorry if there are mistakes in my writing)
Can't forget about Mike Hampton"s contribution to this song and others once EH left Funkadelic, he's another great guitar player that tends to get forgotten about
I can't tell you how many times I've listened to your last cover of this from a couple years ago. I absolutely live for it. But you really cranked it to 11 here, Dave. Good show, old boy.
Dave, why haven't you had the recognition you deserve? What's happening here people? This man deserves to be on the World's stage! Surely someone with influence is watching? Man, watching you work is just mindblowing! I, like many others, have favourite bands and artists through the years that I listen to. Some are good, some are real good. But you, Sir, are a true inspiration, an artist. Don't stop Dave, keep going! All the best x
I visit your channel every once in a while just to listen to your previous cover of this song. I didn't expect that you'll make another, but I'm glad you did. This one really goes hard, especially the ending. I hope you continue to cover this song from time to time.
I actually partied with George and Eddie back in the day before and after the maggot brain show. They were absolute class! Eddie would be so moved by your ability!

And I’m back here again…. It’s been a shitty week so far and I need a release, so I’m listening again while pacing up and down with a tear in my eye and a huge grin on my face. Thank you once more! 😊🙏
I watched your previous version of some 5 years ago. I'm afraid to admit just how many decades ago I first heard what I considered to be the greatest guitar instrumental ever conceived. I noticed that you have great command playing the feedback as Gary Moore displayed in many of his classic live renditions. Thanks.
Now you've gone and done it 😢 As a massive Parliament/Funkadelic fan... This is my absolute favourite guitar piece. It never fails to reduce me to tears. Dave you cover this and add so much as other have said here. Just a masterful recreation but still yours never just a copy. You lift it to new heights. This was stunning. I missed your cover if this before? What an absolute treat to see this on my You Tube feed today. You are a very, very special talent Dave. Just superb. I'm in pieces 😭❤️ ✊👏❤️
Awesome- just awesome. I remember discovering Maggot Brain all those years ago. I sat in my shop playing it over and over again - for days. You always show so much respect for the originals but still manage to add something of yourself. RESPECT
You, Frusciante, Eddie Hazel, Hillel, and Hendrix, are the reason I will NEVER get rid of my 2015 Olympic White American Special Strat. So many inspirations to keep me going. Cheers.
First time I heard this song I was getting a lap dance and the stripper was dancing to her own music. I asked her what she was listening to and she shared her headphones with me. What a magical dance.
I recall some years back you playing this. It's always been a fav track of mine...love Funkadelic! Anyway something has happened... You've either improved your awesome playing outta site or you've just taken the emotion of this track to another level. I'm going with the latter option. Smashed it out.. . Superb Dave! 🔥
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this (another one!) and I still can’t find the words. Just brilliant…. Please Please Please could we see Red Giant do this one day? 😳🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I've never listened to this before, but it's easy to see where the inspiration for John's "Before the Beginning" came from. I don't think I can add anything that hasn't already been said by others, loved it.
I had never heard of Eddie or maggot brain until I saw your last cover vid a few years ago. I listen to the original on a regular basis now. Time to zone out and enjoy this vid. 🔥 🔥 🔥
Brilliant Dave, a great cover of this knockout tune by the P-Funkster's Gary Shider and Eddie Hazell on the guitar. (edit - missed out Eddie in my original message through a memory lapse - he is a stellar guitar player and I believe he might have been the lead player on the original studio take - not sure, perhaps a P-Funk expert might advise me) It's up there with the likes of Watermelon In Easter Hay by Frank Zappa and Sylvia by Focus etc.etc. Classic stuff for sure and I hope to hear more like this from you in future because you are a superb guitar solo interpreter most definitely! Wow Alex
Bloody hell mate! That's the best cover I've ever heard of Maggot Brain.... absolutely brilliant! Even had a tear in my eye at a couple of parts! Wonderful!!
I asked you aout shredding the other day. You said it's not really your thing but you did give us a little explanation. Dude. You shred. You know exactly when and how to and how to make it feel SO good!!!!! God I love your playing man.
Man, you're one with the guitar, this is really beautiful to watch. I can't imagine how much of your life you've invested playing, is amazing Dave. Thanks.

Back again….. this and a cold one are just spot on right now! 😊🍻
Dave doing Maggot Brain. I'm all over this.🤘
You have never played better. This is absolutely a lifetime performance.
Once again ,another masterpiece....

The great Eddie Hazel given the respect deserved - well done!
Can't forget about Mike Hampton"s contribution to this song and others once EH left Funkadelic, he's another great guitar player that tends to get forgotten about
funkadelic is totally an inspiration for his rhcp children, john brings this style a lot in before the beginning and on his album the empyrean

That's what I call balm for the soul.
It's always a pleasure to listen to you
You are a legend, Dave! Nothing to add ...
Didn’t think I could love this piece of music more than I already did, but I do. Incredible, moving and cathartic.

Pure emotion! Holy cow! Standing ovation Dave 👏 👏 👏 👏 That’s incredible!

Absolutely fantastic! I'm pretty sure just watching this gave me "stank face" a few times.

Hell yeah I'm really into this song recently
I've never listened to this before, but it's easy to see where the inspiration for John's "Before the Beginning" came from.
