‘Arthur Brown - Part 2 - The Outer And The Inner become One.’ Interview by Iain McNay

‘Arthur Brown - Part 2 - The Outer And The Inner become One.’ Interview by Iain McNay
Arthur has recorded many albums over a 50 year period and is best known for his No 1 Worldwide hit ‘Fire.’ He has been a major influence on many successful artists including Alice Cooper, Kiss, Ozzy Osbourne, Peter Gabriel, Iggy Pop and the New York Dolls.
His music has always been driven by his spiritual realisations, ‘So many times I have come away from a gig, head full of stars, ears full of hissing, my throat sore with cinders. My body tired but my heart satisfied with song. What I lived I lived in the moment of performing. I didn’t know how to receive the applause, that was not what I was there for, it was the moment when I was not there… my voice was singing but I was in bliss.’
From an early age he roamed the hills near where he lived singing, talking in rhyme and making up poetry. His spiritual path led him to practice TM; Shivapuir Baba’s ‘decision exercise;’ spend time living in a Gurdjieff community with JG Bennett and visiting Israel and singing for injured soldiers of both sides, as well as many other adventures.
During this time he had many realisations: ‘‘suddenly I was consciousness listening to me. I heard the beginning of everything, it sounded like a huge bell. Just before that I heard voices, sounding like Ohm. I knew that everyone heard it differently and that on different levels of consciousness the sound was different. I had in this meditation entered into the bliss body. It had in the contemplation of the sound become apparent that the bliss body was the balance of yin and yang. The movement of these two, from the original hum sound produced all subsequent sounds.’

So funny when he played at The Castle - came on stage jumped up into the air and sang "I am the God of Hellfire" and fell through the stage floor - unhurt luckily - had to start again after the stage was repaired - brilliant performance though regardless - most of the audience used to be lying on the floor out of it by that time of night - so may not have noticed !!

26:10 This anecdote is being related by the same guy who sang "give him a flower". He decided he would end this war, by sitting in between two armies with his guitar and singing.
