In A Gadda Da Vida is a slurred version of "in the garden of eden"

One of the band members was loaded one day in the studio and it came out that way. It stuck.

They were supposed to appear at Woodstock. Nobody met them at the airport so they turned around and went back home.

Wonder how many times they kicked themselves for that blunder?

Actually, legend has it that IB asked for a copter to take them to Woodstock, but their request was ignored.....I would have walked away too

Slayer totallt sucked... Its amazing how people can ruin the masterpeace :-s

 

In-A-Gadda-Da- Vida was a great Album. Many a day I lay in the dorm and listen to it - Iron Butterfly and Steppenwolf were two of my favorites in 68-69.

 

I'm going to stick with this forum for a while - I love that music and people are nasty out in the open.

 

Sorry guys not to be a downer I love the butterfly particularly the Erik Brann era but I gotta say that song is great but it's so overplayed and gave the band a rep as a one hit wonder, do yourselves a favor and listen to "Most Anything You Want" or "Flowers And Beads" off that album...

Mix it up a bit and check out their 2nd album with Brann, "Ball" and listen to "Soul Experience" and "Lonely Boy" now those are good Butterfly songs.

Their first album Heavy most particularly "Iron Butterfly Theme" the first Proto-Heavy Metal/Pychedelia song I ever heard thats for sure

 

I totally agree:cheers2::hat:

 

;Methinx you just don't dig novelty, change and versatility:hat::cheers2:

 

I remember going to a high school party around 1968 and hearing that song. I had never heard anything like it. I had led a pretty sheltered life up to that point, and that song was really my first exposure to the psychedelic sound. It was very exciting.

But honestly, I don't think it holds up very well upon repeated listening. They had a great riff, but they couldn't play very well.

 

I think you pegged it there sunfighter, and graciously put! :cheers2:

This song has a serious amount of wah pedal.
it probably the first popular song to feature it extensivly.

 

Iron Butterfly was hired to do an ad jingle and used this song and just changed the lyrics to "Ban won't wear off... as the day wears on!"

Selling deodorant to hippies via InnaGaddaDaVida... the irony did NOT escape me! lol

 

Remember it was '68!!:cheers2::hat:

 

Sorry, but if that statement is true, you need you some more psych. More psych variety. More psych heaviness. Because Iron Butterfly is far from the most psychedelic band I've ever heard.
