Page "Michael Hampton" Paragraph 3

Hampton became a fixture in Funkadelic, and he continued his role as lead guitarist even during Hazel's sporadic returns to the band.

Hampton's performances of " Maggot Brain " — which had become more improvised — became regular features of live Parliament-Funkadelic shows, and the song became his signature concert performance.

The bonus-EP of Funkadelic's One Nation Under a Groove ( 1978 ) included a live version of the song featuring Hampton.

The 12 " single version of the title track was the first notable Funkadelic song to feature Mike Hampton on lead guitar.

One of his most celebrated performances is the lead guitar solo on the Funkadelic hit single "( Not Just ) Knee Deep " from 1979, as well the title track to the Brides Of Funkenstein's second album Never Buy Texas From A Cowboy.
