The godfathers of heavy metal and grunge. The guitarist Leigh Stephens and my dad were best friends back then. And one night after dad and Leigh came home, I was asleep on the couch. And dad said this is your godfather. So the godfather of heavy metal and grunge is my actual godfather 😮
15:50 my god thats very heavy. They were absolutely ground breaking. Who was this heavy? I can hear some Who in there. Some Jimi. Both of them were pretty heavy. But this shit? This is really heavy.
This is just great. The last time I heard 'Feathers From Your Tree' was in 1968, I t was my first live show, I was 12. The show started with 'Sun Cycle'. My brother was manager.
I actually met Dickie after a show many years later. He was looking at my bike, I introduced myself, mentioned my brother Gut and he wanted to talk. He had a Cadillac, I knew alot about the type he had. I proposed any kind of issue with his car, I will take care of in exchange for a bass lesson. He said he had to go to Germany, as soon as he returns, we will get together regardless. He never returned from Germany.
@@hofthem From your earlier comment in this thread about your brother being their manager i wondered if it was Gut. Wow amazing that Gut is your brother.. Bet he could tell many stories about the band.
Used to be a drummer in a band in high school that played many Blue Cheer tunes. We’d do weekend gigs at Hillsdale college in Michigan…they freakin LOVED us for the BC tunes. First time any human offered me a joint!

The Fathers of Heavy Metal. Extremely underrated and under produced, but brilliant Genius and ground breaking!!!!!

Love Blue cheer. Saw them in the 80's 2 times. Thank you for sharing.

You were very fortunate to have seen the original lineup live!
@@bands_uncovered8347 Changed my life.
Saw the original trio in Chicago at the KINETIC PLAYGROUND in the summer of 1968

Hillsdale? That's a pretty traditional college. How did you manage that?

OH, FUG -- it's Blue Cheeer! Holy mack arrrreLLL
Just been reading about the influence of Blue Cheer on The Cult love era. Via Phoenix
without Blue Cheer there would be no Butthole Surfers
En el Hard rock psicodelico estaba la semilla del hevy metal, Punk, progresivo, stoner , Kratrock, hasta el Grunge con folk rock....
Feathers... Rhymes with LSD
Dickie playing a Ric? Way cooler than p bass.
Can any of you sharp-eyed lads figure out what they're really playing in that second color section (starts 9:05)
It was a mini jam they did at a show then they played doctor please this here isn't the full thing
@@MidnightStorm4990 It's a cool audio, but it's not what they're playing in the video 😀
Dickie Peterson one of t he best bass player I play with .he's on my early stuff. Ruben trejo s.f ca,USA RUclips Vickie Rip....
