cheer sounds heavy, hard and something insane, i can say that thes guys of course besides sabbath, zeppelin, purple, mc5, kinks and others gave something musical to the gender that today is known as heavy metal.

@assaf001 i know...im just saying how much nirvana influenced from this band. Blue Cheer is the root of heavy/blues rock
-
@progjazzfusion The MC5 were a hard Acid Rock band like the Cheer.....They even did shows together.......Blue Cheer was just a louder more intense variety of that genre, but all those bands came from the same place...MC5 had far more in common with the Grateful Dead than they ever did with any punk band. People like to compare them to punk but the fact is if you listen to tracks like 'Over And Over' or"Looking At You' or 'Skunk" they are much more complex than punk

@Bomberband1 They were from the same time period. BC was formed in 1966, so they were probably earlier than Cream. The live version of 'Crossroads" was played through Blue Cheer's amps. BC opened for Cream on the West Coast and the Cream's amps didn't arrive, it was arranged for them to use Blue Cheer's...someone now deceased set that up and told me Cream was very impressed with the Cheer's setup.

from what I recall at the time (I was 13), BC Cream and Hendrix were considered the power trios, and they were all around at the same time. BC was the Hell's Angels house band, and Dickie had just gotten out of jail, so yeah, he was "lookin for head and feelin so free".

@wdmounger - sorry but I disagree, mc5 was never as heavy as BC. mc5 is more like early garage punk with endless blues jamming thrown in.
