i have been listening to this song since I was a child. I am 53 years old, now. Maggot Brain has always been my favorite song of all time. I am really picky about who covers it. I have never heard a version that I liked outside of the original. Even when Kidd Funkadelic plays it, it is to fast. The faster you play it, the more you kill the emotion. Well, this lady understands this song. She knows it is all about soul and heart.....not technical ability. It is a song that reveals the inner-quality of human existence. Ms. Haydn, great job!

Feel you, i was 16 and Maggot Brain was inside the One Nation album. It was about 6 of us in a friends room smokin'. The room went deathly quiet. I saw things. I see them whenever i hear it. I saw them listening to this.

Eddie Hazel used to put a crazy amount of relief (bow) in his Strat necks knowing they would play stiffer. He felt he could only say everything he wanted to say with a guitar if it was fighting him a little bit. But I don't like this cover of the song or any cover of it for that matter.

I get what your saying man i really do but have you seen mike mccready of pearl jams version. Personally my favourite cover and honestly i might like it more than the original. obviously im not putting hazel down in anyway as hes the genius who created this masterpiece i just feel as though mccready manages to capture the exact same emotion and for some reason i tend to come back to that version more than the original.

She used her incredible violin skills to do a cover of one of the most iconic, emotional rollercoaster rides of electric guitar tracks ever recorded and she absolutely killed it. The violin is probably the only instrument that can produce the same emotions, the sadness and the love and power as the electric guitar. What a wonderful job she did bringing all that out. Eddie Hazel is in Heaven giving mad respect and love to Lili for showing her respect to him and his musical talents.

As I was listening to this, I noticed that many of the notes she was playing had a Wah-Wah sound to them, and I immediately asked myself how in the hell that could be, when she is playing a violin ? Well, upon putting on some glasses, and then watching the video very closely, I could see that her violin was plugged in to a Guitar Amplifier, and in between the connection of the violin to the Amp, she had plugged in a Wah-Wah pedal. Now, that's what I call Genius !

Technical expertise, which Ms.Hayden displays, shows talent. Such talent is rare but not beyond our own assessment and understanding. It is essentially a relatively unique physical ability. Her ability to convey the emotion in the song, however, is beyond that, not definable, which only the extraordinary can convey. That is apparent while watching the video, but more so if the listener closes his or her eyes and just listens. A friend of mine once said that, if a person thinks a song is too short, that exemplifies an extraordinarily great song. That applies here.
