@1987AREVALO TU SI QUE SAVES :D, tengo 15 años, y es el mejor grupo del pto mundo, en clase tubimos que ablar 5 min sobre un tema y hable sobre este grupo a los de clase les gusto =) TE AMO IRON BUTTERFLY
Love Lee Dorman's distinctive bass playing. I live in San Diego, and about 10-15 years ago wastold that Doug Ingle live in Lakeside, about 12 miles from me!
Takes me back to my youth! What a great band. Remember seeing them at a place called "The Image" Sunny Isles, North Miami Beach. Fir on stage! Excellent.
hey white rabbit, is this not great music, one of the best things i done in my life was to get rid of my ex girlfriend who likes shitty dance music , good riddance, deexxyy, the canadian kid who looks like alice cooper yeah, take care rabbit.
man, iremember buying this record in 1968, was 11, great stuff, better than my ex girlfriends shitty,dance music,she liked madonna, hey man i like butterfly, doors, psychedelic, music she can stick her dance music up her ass man.
i love the fusion of psychedelic with the first ever heavy metal sound that iron butterfly practically created, i couldn't ask for anything better. it beats anything we got today! lol
thanks! i'm glad SOMEONE agrees with me, people just dont know good music anymore its all about being popular and making money, the experience and the passion for the amazing wonder of music they're creating has no place in today's music. even all this indie stuff they're all like "i'm challenging the norm" yeah by letting them tell you what not to be in turn you conform by doing exactly that. no one has any original thoughts its fit in or do the opposite, either way theyre telling u what to do.
Cool video. My favorite short track by Iron Butterfly was Unconscious Power off the Heavy Album. Off of this album I really liked "Termination". By the way, Iron Butterfly was before my time but I always thought they had a good sound. You don't have to be a baby boomer to enjoy 60's rock. I made a primitive video for Unconscious Power.
I was living in Deal, Kent, England and this otherwise innocuous neighbor, on learning I knew Doug, Ron, Lee, and Eric commented: "You mean the guys who played that In-a-gadda-da-shithouse?" I laughed, as I thought it was rather good description of an unending, crumb of a song.

A rare lost gem of a tune. As a musician I've always admired this talented band. The bass line in this song, by Lee Dorman, is brilliant. Man music used to be so awesome back in the day. What happened?
I have closed ears and mind? You're funny. Well I'm glad you don't over-rate your "own time", and especially your opinion. Must be nice you're not getting old. And is there really anything wrong with admiring a piece of music whether it's old or new? You don't know anything about me, but thanks for denigrating my innocuous comment, we can all learn so much from you, and your open ears and mind.
Forgive my tone and comment-it was just a reaction to the usual vitriol and stereotypical "commentary" spewed by people who've become their parents: ie: pining for the "good old days", everything was better when I was young, blah blah blah" and don't see the irony (and sadness) in that.You can like whatever you want from any time but, as one of the heroes of a million years ago once said to the oldsters in his day "...don't criticize what you can't understand". It's come full circle!
When I first got the "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" album long ago, I was surprised to find all the songs on side 1 were really great, too. My favorite on side 1 is "Are You Happy", almost a miniature 'In-A-Gadda...'...this song is pretty cool, too.
I just played "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida the other day (on LP, that is...old 8-tracks have a way of falling apart as they age...the tape loop separates at the stuck-on track-change mechanism...the Butterfly's next album, "Ball" is pretty doggone good, too (although it doesn't have any side-long tracks).
this song remind me of a very special girl i think that the best songs are those who makes you remind or even imagine and feel that you are in some place that is or was very special for you very good lyrics and the music arrengement is good
Great album, and I agree a lot of music today is crap and it was better back in the day, but you can't generalise that much! There's still a lot of good stuff around these days.
Nice to see these posts here. I thought I was the only one who appreciated this stuff. My first hand-me-down records were the first 3 IB albums. Great memories. Thanks to all who posted these! This was the start of AOR for me.
Erik replaced Danny Weis who was technically better, but didn't have Erik's attack or style. Erik was the best for the bant out of all the guitarists that passed through. His website is erikbraunn dot net
Is this band like a lot of others ... the rise and fall of lead guitarists ... I believe this one is Erik Brann who replaced a really good guitarist whose name I can't remember, but was better than Erik, and then Erik got replaced by professionals ... the kiss of death to the grunge that was IB .
Did I ever tell youaboutthe time Iblundered into a IB show with my 14 year old brother and my marcia brady girlfriend thinkingitwas going to be like ed sullivan ? Every reprobate in 5 states must have been there !
No disrespect, 'cuz I love the Butterfly, but this is totally Spinal Tap "listen to the flower people"... "flowers and beads are one thing/but loving you girl THAT'S SOMETHING". This is fave IB song after In-A-Gadda...
Man I am so sorry to hear that Eric is dead...I met him in Toronto many years abo, along with Ron Bushy - the roadies called him: "Bush". I'd love to hear about them after they made:"Ball"...what happened?
i didnt know eric had died,i saw them in a a small ballroom in huntsville alabama years ago,was a highpoint in my life,not alot of us left that like this stuff
I used to party with these guys in the early 70's. Their studio was in Northridge, Calif. I jammed with them many times on Ron's drums, and partied at Doug's house in Old Topanga Cyn.
Ingle simply quit the band and moved on. Lee Dorman, the bassist, was, after quitting, replaced by a man named Philip Kramer. Kramer famously disappeared into the desert. His bones were found in 1999. Eric Braunn, original guitarist, died in 2002 of liver failure. Ron Bushy, percussionist, appears to be the driving force of the current incarnation. Bushy and Lee Dorman have since hired replacements for touring purposes. Ingle was the front man in its heyday...I believe.
Erik died of a heart attack...not liver failure.... The Butterfly still perform with Bushy & Dorman, and on occasion, Doug Ingle will show up and perform with them
Thanks. My camp summer camp councelor used to play this side to get us to go to sleep. I wouldn't sleep till album (remember those?) was over. The guy who died was a replacement drummer i think. Are those old men IB now days?
You're thinking of Phil Kramer, who was the bass player in the '70s version of IB. He left home and disappeared in 1995. He called police from his cell phone and allegedly told them that he knew who the real killer of Nicole Brown Simpson was -and it wasn't OJ. They ruled his death a suicide and his remains were found in an old beat up van in Decker Canyon, CA. in May of '99. A TV show like 20/20 did a story on the incident. I believe Oprah Winfrey herself, did a story on his disappearance.
I appreciate the help, but I am confused about your story. The last I heard was that Kramer was stilling as of a few years ago. That would make the 1999 allegation untrue.
