Just read that 15 minutes ago. We all gotta go sometime. 78 is a good run.

Doug Ingle was not the last surviving member of Iron Butterfly.

Danny Weis, founding guitarist looked quite alive the last time I talked to him....

Never saw them in concert. Only have one album…. Iron Butterfly Live. That would be where the IBLive came from.

Thought of you right away.

I wonder why the source got that wrong, other than today's media quality sucks and facts matter little when the narrative means more these days.

RIP

I think a few of us should get together and do a TTR cover of IN-DA-GADDA-DA-VIDA

I can handle the drum parts.

 

[LiveeviL2000]

I can do guitar or bass.
Keyboards would be cool
Lead guitar
Then we need vocals ... preferably somebody on acid just to make it authentic

Funny.... I thought of me right away as well.

I’ll take the guitar part over the drum solo.

Now..... do we do a short version or the 17 minutes version?

What you are asking is, do we want to have it done this year or next?

On the Iron Butterfly Live album I have.... they found an extra two minutes. It's actually 19 minutes long. But most versions seem to be the 17 minutes length.

Me thinks the 2:30 radio version would do. Unless you guys want to do the 4 minute drum solo, the keyboard ramblings, the psychedelic guitar riffage and whatever else fills the other 15 minutes of that song.

For sure. Trying to do a "long" version would be a monumental task.

Fox news, unbridled sensationalist misinformation as usual.

Danny told me that when they first started playing this type music, people called it "psychedelic rock..." but the band really didn't have a name for it.
Danny left Iron Butterfly and started a band called "Rhinoceros;" had a couple hit records...

But it was quite interesting to meet and talk with the actual founder of the band in person, and to hear stories from the first days of (what would become) Metal Music.

I asked him: "who invented Heavy Metal ?" He mentioned MC5.

We talked about Bloodrock, Ozzy, Bubble Puppy, Blue Cheer...
all these bands that suddenly appeared in 1968 and started the "Metal" sound.

I remember Rhiocerous too.

Thanks for your insight and personal stories.

MC5 was the SHIZ too.
