| Ween – A Tear For Eddie Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Honestly this is pretty blatantly obvious. This song is a DIRECT tribute to Eddie Hazel's famed 10 minute guitar solo from the title track on Funkadelic's classic album "Maggot Brain". Both songs are VERY similar, and showcase the emotion that can be covered in an instrumental. Wide-spread legend has it that George Clinton asked Hazel to play "as if his mother had just died". The result was a heartbreaking and beautiful guitar solo. Ween are notorious for paying clever homage to their influences, and this is one of the most well-executed examples. | |
