70 yrs old, been B.C. fan since 1967.

[@Buzzramjet]

Been a fan since day one. Saw Blue Cheer about half a dozen times and have photos to prove it. First saw them in Hawaii where they actually drew a bigger crowd than Led Zeps first show in Hawaii. First time I saw a wall of sound as in WALL OF MARSHALLS. Jimi didn't show up in Hawaii for several more months with his wall of Marshalls. Got their autographs on my Vincebus Eruptum album. Well Dickie and Paul anyway.

Its nice they spent a long time as the loudest song ever recorded

[@markrichardson1004]

In 1974 they gave a great concert at our high school they were awesome thank you

If Randy Holden had joined with the original trio, this group would have been so heavy that no stadium in the world would be capable of booking them. Their only alternative would have been a gig on Mars or Jupiter with their amps pointed to the Earth and cranked all the way up to 11 !!!

Well, when you've hit a wall in your creativity you can always put some words to a 12-bar Blues like this one. I wonder how many 12-Bar Blues songs have been written in the history of the world? Some of the old Blues performers did nothing but. They always work in a pinch.

[@fernandoy.narciso]

They played so loud for their time that their sound tables usually caught fire

I can only imagine blue cheer in 67 outside of haight ashbury guys probably thought they were girls, I had hair like that years later in early 80s still wasn't excepted, girls liked it, now its no big deal.

[@danielcallahan3977]

If your not rocking listening to Rock Me Baby by Blue Cheer you have no bone to rock with

[@mnpd3]

+Daniel Callahan Sounds like all the other twelve-bar blues progressions I've heard.

[@juliusschwencke142]

@@mnpd3 ..just hook up with your mate Justin, and leave this band to those who know a thing or two.

[@robertcubinelli4961]

Good as the Frank Marino cover :)

Awesome great video - thanks for making it!

Then came Black Sabbath who were actually anti-hippies, not in the sense of being Hell's Angels' fans, but as in being an antithesis of the hippie philosophy/ethic. "Peace and Love" was just a joke, loving one another wasn't happening all the time and wars between people will never stop. Black Sabbath showed these aspects to every one and their dark music, although heavily influenced by bands like Cream, Blue Cheer and Led Zeppelin, changed rock music forever, giving birth to heavy/doom metal

[@Bix12]

That's a cool story...I've heard it a million times...but in reality, music is evolving all the time, there is no fully-formed, textbook defined, completely evolved musical genre birthed like one would birth a human baby. If that were the case, there would be no more heavy metal bands after Black Sabbath, unless they were exact copies of Black Sabbath. Please don't take this comment personal, it is not meant to be. I'm just saying creating music, or any exspressive art form, is a process, an organic process of growth over time, never static, or completely, finally formed. Black Sabbith hit it big from Birmingham, England. Birmingham in the 60's was a musical hotspot, like Liverpool, San Francisco, Detroit, & LA. There many, many local bands playing in various styles...the emerging heavy metal scene being but one, but it was a crowded one, both in England and the States. Black Sabbath were extremely fortunate to make it through the obstacle course, and catch the right breaks - that's what it boils down to...or rather used to in the music biz. Now everything is front-loaded. The industry dictates the preferred music. It used to be the music determined the industry, now it's the opposite, which is why all we have on the airwaves is SHITE! Anyway, my point is heavy metal is still not fully formed and it never will be. In the musical hot spots, there is STILL an emerging heavy metal scene. That's beautiful, man!

[@hectorgonzalez9170]

William L. Basically you're right. Music is always evolving. It's always dependant on band members and their musical education and the sound they create when merging their influences and knowledge and musical capabilities. That's why music is always evolving. And that's a good thing.

Randy holden had a sound all his own..look at hisv1st solo record was way nice heavy guitar....

[@gabrielscarlat8592]

The Pagans are very open-minded about free-love, about sexuality, about peace and inner harmony, so I think that the hippies who rose proeminence in the USA between 1964-1966 took every pagan philosophical aspect and lifestyle and brought them in the world. Then every rock band towards the late 60s (1967-1968-1969) had members who began to grow their hair long, copying the hippie features, although not ALL of the rock bands were big hippie adepts. Led Zeppelin and Blue Cheer weren't hippies...

[@lunarmist428]

definitely a crowley inspired movement

[@Angie_flores]

wow nice pictures, if you have some would you be kind enough to send them to me? i would appreciate it :) nice videos by the way

..one of my favourite pics of the band..

[@fernandoy.narciso]

How often can we tell that the lead singer screams louder than the guitars?

[@GrutPriisalyi]

Nevertheless I believe the first long-haired rock-and roller was Jerry Lee Lewis... And he's still rocking, too!!

[@jackcrane7853]

What an irony. He always had short hair later on.

[@dannyhood66]

My 3 sons made acid more punk in the garage, from a recipe using dads chemistry set. , probably the f***up's who made purple microdot, and 'think pink' suspected manufacturing sales, top 10 most wanted list

[@maxsno]

Jimi didn't care for them in the slightest.
