Though it was not recorded until their second album, "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" was written during Iron Butterfly's early days. According to drummer Ron Bushy, organist-vocalist Doug Ingle wrote the song one evening while drinking an entire gallon of Red Mountain wine. Simpsons , Home Improvement and whatever. The fact remains that "In A Gadda Da Vida" was way ahead of it's time. It was a brilliant track then, and still is. Listening to it with today's "ears" you can say what you will.

But in 1968 when the song/album was released it was the heaviest sound many of us heard. And Doug Ingle's baritone vocals the heaviest. Today I can say that the bass is repetitive, but that is irrelevant.

The meat used is clearly not cube steak, and cube steak would be completely unsuitable for kebabs as it would likely break apart and fall off the skewer. The "A Thousand Miles" singer on what she thinks of her song being used in White Chicks and how she captured a song from a dream. The Whitney Houston hit "I Have Nothing" was inspired by Elvis Presley, who dated the song's lyricist, Linda Thompson. If you make a simple translation from the spanish word vida , you will see that the title means "In the garden of life", i think this could be reazon of the title.

This song is awsome I love to bang my head to this all day. Hey, does anyone know what type of guitar Erik brann used in the song. He and his band, Iron Butterfly, on the stage and/or on stage and/or stages, and off, too, before death comes to his heart, no, seriously, before his death in 2003. This song has a really good rhythm and beat.

Yes, the singer wrote it as "In the Garden of Eden" but when his bandmates asked him what it was called, he slurred "In A Gadda Da Vida" and the name stuck.

It was, in fact, one of the first CDs I ever purchased, back when they were a new thing. The audio was transferred from something other than master tapes. It was a bad multi generation copy of a tape.

Brian, are you really saying you have to play Gibson guitars to play metal? Adrian Smith and Dave Murray of Iron Maiden played Fender Stratocasters, as did Van Halen . Kirk Hammet and James Hetfield of Metallica use ESP guitars.

I even tried to learn to play the drum solo. A great song that brings back so many good memories.

The Simpsons referenced the song again in the episode where Bart joins a band with Milhouse, Nelson and Ralph (can't remember the name). Lisa wonders why the song makes no sense and Homer says a lot of songs have strange titles, like 'In A Gadda Da Vida'. This was called acid rock, not heavy metal.

I always prefer to listen to the full LP in one sitting. Most bands would kill to have just one of these, let's face it. I told an old bud from Southern Cal, now in Fla, both in bands for years, about this rediscovery. When I first arrived in CA in late 1968 at age 19, I meet a couple of young women in a laundromat in LA. During our conversation they mentioned their boyfriends were giving a concert that evening and did I want to come along.

The song is referenced in the 2005 Gilmore Girls season 5 episode 'Come Home' when Sebastian Bach's character asks a group of traditional Korean musicians if they know how to play it. The song was featured in the 1991 first season of the television series Home Improvement in the episode "Flying Sauces". I believe the original title was In the Garden of Eden but when they were writing it, they were so hammered it came out as In-A-Gada-Da-Vida so they wrote it out phonetically and it became the name of the song.

All was fine until someone realized "they're with the band" and began yelling questions while trying to touch us. Backstage security quickly got us away and we sat back in the waiting room listening. The story of HOW and WHERE he came to write In a Gadda Da Vida. It was simple but fascinating and I've never heard it being told since.

I would love to find the text of that story so I could tell it to others. It was definitely one of the creepiest things I've heard. I do know that this is an extraordinary piece of music, cut on the heels of Sergeant Peppers into the Hendrix era and Cream. Rock "jams" were beyond their origins by this time, but this definitely had an influence. I think I read the album sold some 30 million copies. Plus they were supposed to go to Woodstock, got stranded, wanted to be helicoptered in.

On the original CD, there was a lot of crackling sounds in the high end. And the lows were considerably thinner than on the original LP version. However, this version ...is a massive improvement! Many bands of this ilk, in the 60s, made singles...and would then piece together an album with those singles and some lackluster filler material, usually covers. But Iron Butterfly made a strong album from beginning to end. The songs are all good, the playing is good, and the mix is good.
