Ron Bushy's histroic drum solo in "Vida" speaks for itself. A good time to put the headphones on & just let the drums go back & forth culminating in the flare up near the end. Flowers & Beads is stereotypical 60's love & My Mirage is a real sleeper here. Despite being quite unorthodox, the song will grow on you as it is a song about a vision that someone would like to take to the world.
I can't listen to it for more than 15 seconds. It must have been soul-crushing to be in Iron Butterfly and have to play such drivel night after night for 17 minutes. The brain-numbing riff is similar to Smoke on the Water or Spoonful by Cream -- total frontal lobotomy. Before he was the champ, Ali released an album called I Am The Greatest! And by the way, this is one of the songs that really ushered psychedelic rock, not heavy metal.

It is also often regarded as an influence on heavy metal music and one of the firsts of the genre. Despite being a huge IB fan, there can be no doubt that their music is overly dated & polarizing. One can only take so much drenched organ & falsetto voclas in one lunch! However, this Cd is a unique window to anyone looking to stare straight into the sound's of the 60's. The title track is excellent & Erik Bruanns guitar at just 17 is outstanding as you follow his lines through the song.
The organ LOWERING the box in the ground. This is the song they will be playing at my funeral - maybe even the "longer live version". Cremated and ashes thrown across the bay...... The drum solo is exactly 2 mins 47.07 secs from the last note of the base to the first note of the organ. Its the most simplistic drum solo ive ever heard but also the best. Most great drummers, and there are many I admire, have been trying to out it do but havent been able too because they get way to complicated and fast and to much cymbals.

Talking Heads drummer Chris Frantz on where the term "new wave" originated, the story of "Naive Melody," and why they never recorded another cover song after "Take Me To The River." This song was used in an episode of "The Simpsons" where Bart said there was no such thing as a soul, and to prove it, he sold his soul to Milhouse. Afterwards, strange things began to happen.
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.

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.
The quality has been improved beyond measure. "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" was Iron Butterfly's only song to reach the top 40, reaching number 30, while the album itself reached number four on the album chart and sold over 30 million copies. An 8-minute-20-second edit of the song was included in the soundtrack to the 1986 film Manhunter. In 2009, it was named the 24th-greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1.

Dwayne claims that he's using cube steak for the kebab. Cube steak is a cut of sirloin that has been severely tenderized and is usually both thin and broken up.
It makes me wish MST3K had worked on bad songs and not just bad movies. This one desperately needs to be put in its place. I have to think that the organ intro to this song is just as good and just as iconic as the organ intro to "Light My Fire". No matter how much they say that this band was drunk when they recorded it, I still feel that it is an incredible piece. I'm really surprised they didn't come up with a lot more successful material.
Iron Butterfly with "In A Gadda Da Vida" broke new ground. And they wern't just volume or amplifiers, they represented a break-through sound . Iron Butterfly released a live album in 1970, which featured another side long epic version of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" This version was recorded sometime in 1969.
I loved this entire album."Flowers and Beads" was my TRUE favorite song. The title was supposed to be "In The Garden Of Eden." Drummer Ron Bushy wrote it down as "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" because he couldn't understand was vocalist Doug Ingle was singing. Their record company was OK with the title because it sounds exotic and Eastern spirituality was big at the time, with The Beatles going to India and The Rolling Stones experimenting with Indian instruments. Most of the song is played during the 2007 House season three episode "The Jerk".
This band hailed from Hollywood and looked for ways to combine rock music with the spritual. This is probably the best known album of the 60's and In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida is one of the most used songs for movies and tv. It defined a generation seeking individuality and peace, instead of warfare and conformity. I have always like Iron Butterfly and their music and recommend this cd. It really shook me, because its almost morbid how you enjoy the song when she is going throuhg hell...Must be the american TV magic!!
If you listen carefully during the drum solo, you can hear a very exuberant crowd of high school age boys and girls cheering and chanting along.

At slightly over 17 minutes, it occupies the entire second side of the album. The lyrics, a love song from the biblical Adam to his mate Eve, are simple and are heard only at the beginning and the end.
I still play it from time to time to drive my wife out of her mind. I just cannot get this drum solo out of my head. I drum the solo with my hands and fingers all the time. When we went out front to watch the performance, we stood off to the side right in front of the band.
