Forever My Queen is a rock classic. Period.

[@fy_pool_day2]

damn, that's a nice jacket

[@SilverTounge85]

He looks much healther here than in the documentary about him some years ago.

[@josephpaladion235]

I seen it..his arm was nuts to see..he had no skin left on his forearm from scratching due to heroin use..hope it healed well

[@jillybean4899]

Yes he does. Also the way he is conversing.,he is present and you can see it! That is awesone

[@alisonoliveira3954]

GOD BLEES HIM !

[@colinsawesomesaucecorner3163]

I would sure hope so.

[@thisthresh4248]

what money can do for a person

[@jim2791]

Just started listening to Pentagram at 47 years old!

[@larrykinnard]

Never too late

[@vibriCZ]

Bobby went through some serious shit over the years.. Its so great to see him doin well! KEEP ROCKIN!!

[@distantandvague]

He's a fucking creep.

[@ImmortalNokia]

That's rude

[@distantandvague]

Read about the last several bands that toured with Pentagram. He is a gross perv.

[@stevencannon7054]

Everett.... Absolutely... I have been to several Pentagram shows, and actually, there's always lots of cute girls hanging around afterwards begging Bobby to take photos with him and talk to him... He's a super nice dude, he even did some radio promo spots for my show... Hung out with him backstage a few times... He seems to treat women with respect every time I've seen him...

[@stevencannon7054]

Yes indeed... I know it was instilled in me very early on by my parents, but even though I didn't listen much (lol), I saw firsthand how men bullied and beat on women... Always sickened me, especially since all the hotties I wanted to be with preferred THOSE types of men...

[@borntoraisehell10]

Man, when i saw the thumbnail i clicked so fast

[@AwwwYayuh]

Gonza Recchio Me too. I said out loud, "Oh shit!" Click!

[@patricialambert3110]

At 3:21 Bobby discusses the "peanut butter" fight Iggy had with the audience at the Cincinnati Pop Fest. Fun fact: That was the same gig where Alice Cooper got into an "angel food cake" fight with the audience. Bottom line is: That Ohio crowd came armed with food for the performers that night!

[@kyledamron]

I love how much passion Bobby has for rock n roll. His knowledge of lesser known bands is just awesome, he has the best taste in music

[@nathanchildress5995]

That story of him meeting Iggy is incredible!

[@skystudios2474]

But probably not true...

[@Draefend]

@@skystudios2474 There are pictures of Bobby hanging out with Lou Reed when he was 16. So the Iggy story might not be that crazy

[@heavenshound6775]

@@skystudios2474 imagine doubting the lead vocalist of pentagram he has no reason to lie he was around back in the hay days

[@NicolasSilvaVasault]

UFO is one of the most underrated bands out there

[@saraivatoledo1842]

Absolutely ... so is Roky Erickson & the 13th floor Elevators , mind you . You know , it is strange cause people from bands keep on mentioning UFO as a main influence in what they do , and I mean people of King Diamond , Bruce Dickinson´s etc etc caliber ... still , people just don´t look for it , go figure . Roky Erickson on the other hand just happened to have had a " ressurgence " during the last years of his life , which was well deserved , a legend like that dying without a shred of recognition would had been criminal . Still there were a LOT of Roky Erickson/13th elevators covers by very notorious rock/ Metal bands, we don´t need to go too far , I was introduced to Roky Erickson in the early-mid 90s by , out of all bands , - Entombed , with their " Night of the vampire " version which I 1st thought was their new single , and as a teenager I remember thinking : " Holy s*it ! These guys keep raising the bar in Death metal , this is unparalleled ... " ... little did I know the world which was about to open for me .

[@impalaman9707]

Some of the early Pentagram stuff does remind me of early UFO--dark, but psychedelic

[@NicolasSilvaVasault]

@@impalaman9707 yeah, in fact early pentagram stuff is plain rock not even doom metal

[@impalaman9707]

@@NicolasSilvaVasault I feel the same way about Iron Butterfly and Blue Oyster Cult--people always try to put them in the "metal" category--(not "metal" to my ears!)

[@NicolasSilvaVasault]

@@impalaman9707 blue oyster cult is easily in any top in my opinion, too bad, they're not too heavy for most people, i believe that's the reason they're so underrated

[@charliemoney]

It's good to see Bobby completely functional. Brings me a lot of closure seeing that film about him and all.

[@godalful]

Saw him in dayton a few years back. Talked to him for about 10 minutes, cordial and lucid signed all my shit and went on stage and just killed it. Hope he stays healthy

[@Daftchild89]

good to see him clean. a true legend.

[@Gregbaltzer]

It didn't last regardless. I think he's in prison now for domestic violence against his mother.

[@MrMethadrine]

lol

[@skinnyskinhead9492]

Baltzeg reslly?

[@Gregbaltzer]

He was sentenced to 18 months for in prison for "Abuse and Neglect of a Vulnerable Adult Custodian," according to court documents uploaded on the Maryland Judiciary website. It's a shame that drugs have ruined someone with so much potential.

[@dewahiweunmoatzn]

At least on methadone For his entire life..probally did some crack and smack on the side lol

[@patricialambert3110]

Good taste! Any metal guy that loves punk has an open mind in my book! Let that be a lesson to all you metal guys out there--embrace punk, the attitude is all the same

[@Meshuggapeth]

But the musicality is lacking

[@tiesergrote]

instant classic episode

[@joebowles06]

I watched his documentary not too long ago and definitely recommend it to anyone who loves rock and roll. i cant imagine the incredible highs and completely miserable lows he must have experienced in his life. its amazing hes still alive and kicking. great picks as well.

[@kissmytunatuna9043]

joebowles06 what's the documentary called?

[@johnjoefitzpatrick8483]

Angel Dunbar last days here

[@OGGOAT23]

Heroin addict for 43 years? How is he alive

[@SirRunk666]

He's not, fucking look at him.

[@saidordep]

Plus 12 years of being addicted to crack as well. He could probably survive an atomic fallout.

[@comradethoth9629]

He's looks damn good for a nearly 70 year old who's been addicted to drugs his entire life.

[@MrJeffreyromain]

So says the rational mind instead of the heart. Dude still seems to have a lot of spirit, if you ask me. Bobby is a gentle soul and possesses the essence of life. Not unlike Iggy.

[@jamesnelson5704]

Heroin isnt actually bad for you ,compared to other narcotics

[@helterskelter1178]

Bless Bobby. Glad he's off the smack, looks healthy here.

[@BikiniDeathSquad]

I love Pentagram. They have a lot of great songs.

[@livingabstraction2206]

Great selections​ from a legend himself

[@mrimmabreakitdown]

Never heard of him or alot of this music but I really like this guys vibe. Real music lover. Very knowledgeable. Down to earth guy.

[@HeathenwoodOfficial]

In case you still haven't checked them out. The "Turn To Stone" Compilation album has a mix of some of my favorite songs from the first 3 albums

[@Tiedtoatreee]

You should see the documentary about him Last Days Here

[@thorinbane]

Pentagram first days here is a great album

[@fuckgoogle8661]

None of this stuff is obscure. Raw power is legendary, as is white light/white heat. New York dolls followed the bands that made those and their first album is better than the second he’s getting, but I’m sure he has both already. The other Johnny thunders project is hard to say where it falls but is still huge to musicians, I think his so alone solo album is better personally. And ufo is mostly brought up by musicians of the time or played/toured with them, which he did and they were popular. Oh and Roku Erikson is a legend too, 13th floor elevators were great. He had 2 other main projects after that band I can’t recall if his brother got him to record anything after all the drugs and institutions but he did clean him up and get him playing again before he died. You can check out a good documentary on him, it’s usually streaming somewhere for free.

[@mialanotiddygothgf6834]

​@@thorinbane Check out his album Relentless with Pentagram, some of the best doom metal i've heard

[@sketch36393]

god bless you amoeba. lord knows what bobby's been through.

[@slackblabbath8528]

Props to his bringing up ROKY ERICKSON. Hr started his own genre. It's a hard night for alligators.

Got to meet Bobby in 2011 in New Orleans when Pentagram played. Super cool and laid back.

[@realitycheck3400]

Thanks for staying alive and all the great music. And thank You very much for sharing OUR history! 🎸😆

[@dinosaursr]

Always heartwarming to see people bravely admit to struggles that not everyone can understand. Much respect and sympathy for an obviously thoughtful and passionate musician. Kudos to Amoeba for sharing honest portraits of fine musicians.

[@TheAceSpaceman]

He looks more vivid than ever! God bless Bobby Liebling!

[@struanthomson1855]

Watched "Last Days Here" after Ariel Pink recc'd it on his Whats in My Bag. Good to see Bobby looking so bright.
