In A Gadda Da Vida

I find this song to be the most psychedelic 17 minutes of music I've ever listened to.
I love evrey minute of it.
Too bad that was pretty much Iron Butterfly's only hit.

 

Ya I remember when I first heard it on Techwebsound,I was amazed. Long songs like that are awesome.

 

the whole 'in a gadda da vida' album is good and there are some good songs on their first album 'heavy'.
check out the version 'six feet under' did of 'in a gadda da vida',you find it on the psych music comp cd 'beyond the calico wall'

 

This was the first album to earn an RIAA platinum award. The album is also currently available in a deluxe edition CD.

 

I concur.....a MIGHTY psych album by a MIGHTY band!!

 

I was blown away the first time i heard this song....something about the sound....

I love the whole In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida album...there are some really good songs on there

 

Totally brilliant song, used to perfection on the soundtrack of Manhunter...1986 version.

 

Not the most psychedelic 17 minutes of music I know, but a very good psychedelic rock track for sure!

 

This song is one of the best songs I know

that song is like the first metal song ever

 

Man, it has a wicked drum solo too.

 

Hell ya!



Hey, for all you metal fans, check out the Slayer cover. Its nothing compared to the original in my opinion.

 

It's so groovy! Iron Butterfly is really good!! Yah! Yah!
Peace & Love

 

They're good when you're high.

That's all I have to say.

 

....................and the Butterfly is still kickin'!!!

 

I read that the guitarist in this song only learned how to play guitar 3 months before he recorded this song
