a9AdsViewNamespace.Why not be the first to suggest a search for which it should appear?The easiest way to shoot video reviews.No, the album is totally weird because of what preceded it.Blue Cheer, for the young, started off as a completely inept power trio that relied on a wall of noise to build their rep, pioneering a kind of aggressive acid rock on their first and second albums that hinted at what heavy metal groups would later do.Essentially this collection of journeyman San Francisco musicians isn't Blue Cheer at all, in terms of its sound, except it was fair for Peterson to use the name.Originally released in late 1969,this was Blue Cheer's fourth 'actual' album.San Antonio group at the time Blue Cheer (or what remained of them) staggered into town to do a Sunday gig at the Sunken Gardens ampitheater.We (groupname was Touchstone) were surprisingly on the bill, along with another San Antonio group (Homer).Was this review helpful to you?See all 3 customer reviews...Why a lot of new music is LAME!Music That Shaped A Decade (Vol.Music You Should Hear: Artists' PicksWant to know what Norah Jones, Sting, and Il Divo are listening to?View or change your orders in Your Account.You have no recently viewed items or searches.After viewing product detail pages or search results, look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in.Leigh Stephens, as implied in the above quote.Bangs, again, with all due respect, etc.Japan, though not without a certain ironic edge that the Cheer never possessed.This article concentrates on the SOUND of The Blue Cheer, or more specifically, the two albums recorded by the original trio of Dickie Peterson, Leigh Stephens, and Paul Whaley.THE BLUE CHEER SOUND
"On the surface, Blue Cheer was the epitome of San Francisco psychedelia.The band was named for a brand of LSD and promoted by renowned LSD chemist and former Grateful Dead patron, Owsley Stanley.The band's sound, however, was something of a departure from the music that had been coming out of the Bay area.You know, all the stuff that's powered the great confused rockers from Bo Diddley to Half Japanese.The guitar on these two LP's is something that deserves enshrinement somewhere.King Tubby and Lee Perry productions of the early seventies.HALF LPs OF GREATNESS
The debut Vincebus Eruptum LP was recently included in Wire magazine's "100 Records that set the world on fire while no one was listening".LP's, but it's definitely pretty close.Blue Cheer at their best: run for your lives."Wind Cries Mary" bass riff before the guitar soars out into Leigh's patented tone.Whaley pummels the skins mercilessly in the background.Their original target audience probably held the Stones in higher regard than Cochran, so one wonders what they made of this demolishment.Blue Cheer are sorely missed here.CD's of live performances.Stooges related recording I have ever had the pleasure of shelling out money for.Dickie's bass really jumps out.LP's (as if Lemmy was in the house) in fact.But it's one of those purchases that can make me question my sanity.Joni Mitchell atonal stoned whisper.Ambient speaker hum is probably the most appropriate way to end this disc.SELECTED DISCOGRAPHY
