Waiot a minute. Big Brother with Janis was pr-grunge, inventing a type of music that had not been heard and has not been heard since: raw, original, primal, FREAK. Cold Blood, while good, was NOT an original soumd. The sad thing is that corporate record companies co-opted the alternative scene and made it main stream. Albert Grossman was the destroyer. GET REAL.
Lydia sexy looks with that "FANTASTIC VOICE" backed-up by her tight horn section "COLD BLOOD BAND" made that group one of the best live performing groups ever.
as one of the original members of cold blood, if Janis had lived you all would have realized what a disgusting talentless slut she was and how great Lydia was. Janis wasn't a patch on her ass and have you ever listened to how lame Big Brother was???? We used to laugh our asses off when they opened for us. BTW anyone know where Rod and Raul are these days?
I never thought about that!! It's true!! COLD BLOOD kicks Janis Joplin in two seconds!!! Why didn't Cold Blood gets such fame? Jesus! There's a lot of injustice in this world. I guess to be famouse you need to make a lot of stupid circus things, and leave the real talent for second.
I helped open for Cold Blood at our state fair in MN. while they toured their "first taste of sin" LP. The late great drummer Sandy Mckee invited me and my brother to stand on stage with them as they played. It was a dream come true, because i was already a huge fan. Bam Bam
i'm very jealous. i would love to know more about mckee. i know that was a stage name... his drumming still knocks me out - i'm still trying to catch up. i've only seen him mentioned once in m.drummer. one of the great 'unknowns' of the drumming brotherhood.
His real name was McKee as far as I know. Did you read something on that? Did you know he played right handed setup, but left hand on hihat but his hihat was way lower then the snare. I've never seen anybody play like that.
They were on the First taste of Sin Tour. Only five feet away the entire show. I was on cloud nine. Hot Band and Lydia was a hotty. She was on the grass meditating. I was playing to cold blood when I was 10 years old, lick for lick. Nice stuff.
i wrote a review amazon and i think that's how i learned that he used a stage name. he has a son. i don't know how or when he died but such a great lose. i saw the ususual hh setup on the posted video. i met garibaldi last yr but forgot to ask him about sandy-i'm sure they knew and maybe jamed together. that break in shop talk would be one anyone would be proud of. new concerts are on wolfgang'svault with sandy - drummer is wrongly listed. i have long loved lydia!
if you can play it lick for lick, then i need to come study with you! i did some transcriptions: the 8 bar break and some of 'too many people' for m.drummer but they have never used them - the cd's were not out then and they only wanted stuff that was available. how did he do those lightning fast cymbal chokes? with his rh or lh? i thought someone might be helping in the studio until i heard the live concerts - all his own stuff. wish i could have been sitting there with you.
I just LOVE Lydia Pense! The Sisyphus album has always been my favorite. What a voice! And great looks, too. "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free" and "Funky On My Back". WOW!!! Goose bump city . . .
Amen To That !!! Just think of Janis Joplin had of lived her & Big Brother & Lydia & Cold Blood would have been to reckon with, it's also sad that radio station's didn't play there { Cold Blood } music.
Max H. was a great guy! Miss ya buddy...

I saw Lydia and Cold Blood in Spokane about a dozen or so years ago and they were still tight. Great group.
