The song is overrated and monotonous. Maybe three minutes of it are good. Also, why does everyone mess up the story about how it was recorded? It’s almost as bad as the “Hendrix was asked who his favorite guitarist was on the Dick Cavett show and his answer was______”

Reply to comment by DevinBelow in A rant about Maggot Brain... by wtanz

Holy cow. I randomly came to this subreddit looking for some music recs, said "Oh cool, a thread about Maggot Brain", not realizing it was a song (just an album). Started listening to this song, was like "Oh interesting, this isn't like Hit It And Quit It". Couple of minutes in, I was thinking it sounded really, really familiar, but couldn't place it, so passed it off. Couple minutes later, came back to this thread and saw your comment about J Mascis.

I have not listened to Ball Hog or Tugboat in FOREVER!!! That is crazy. Like, probably 20 years. And I got it the year it came out, didn't know 75% of the names/acts associated, but loved it, how weird, eclectic, but still how good it was. And then I would get to this track that was just a massive guitar solo from some guy I had never heard of, and think "oh, thats weird, it's JUST a guitar solo", but would almost always listen to it all the way through. Never new it was a cover. Thank you and OP for introducing me this great song, and trip down memory lane 😁

On the web series Guitar Moves, Dean Ween talked about how all his guitar solos are basically all based off of 2 different solos he loves. One of them was Maggot Brain.
