Especially Blue Cheer and Summertime Blues. So very, intensely different from the great original but if one is going to make it very hard electric blues Blue Cheer did it right... needs to be loud, very loud if possible and with full concert level bass.
Gawd... you know the truth of is Eddie Cochran is the best.... he wrote it I think and seems to be singing right from the heart of suburban teen age blues. He simply captures it.
Eddie Cochran... to me he is a superstar, would have been a real mover and shaker in the world of pop music.... singer, songwriter, producer.
Oh my goodness... shifting feet looking at the floor... You know what.... I totally confused the Blue Cheer song we are talking about with their, BC, version of House of the Rising Sun. As I was saying this and that about Summertime Blues I was thinking of the experience of hearing them do House of the Rising Sun. After all the verbiage I don't think I've even heard them do Summertime Blues. If I had an excuse for this I'd use it but simple truth is I don't... just transposed the one song with the other and wrote what I experienced. Everything I said except substitute House of the Rising Sun for Summertime Blues... sincere apologies to Eddie Cochran, his whole generation and the rest of the world. What could have put what I know to be true about Summertime Blues in the background because nobody can do justice to Eddie Cochran's song Summertime Blues except Eddie regardless of the genre. Yes... I am biased, love Eddie Cochran, everything about him, one of the giants despite his short life. It's like Wow... looka there, he was something else.Not meaning to be is discord, as we can't really be so, as it really does come down to a matter of POV, and is subjective in the end.
But, I really did try to appreciate this interpretation of "BC', however the arrangement seemed to be pieced together so randomly.
For example, there seemed to be guitar riffs thrown in haphazardly. Fillers? At times there'd be melodies of past great metal themes jammed together. The whole arrangement just lacked coherence. For me, it was more experimental than anything, but maybe it was my personal take on this rendition.
Amplitude might have had a plus factor. And, I admire your "diversity with audio" which is probably wider than mine. My bias may get in the way, eh?
I will admit that the playing was great, but the whole tune didn't come together. Maybe it wasn't supposed to?
Thanks for the further enlightenment as how certain gear can influence a fuller range at concert levelsl.
Q
Are you sure you don't mean Frijid Pink's HOTRS? They do have a similar sound to BC (screechy guitar)and a nonsensical name with a color
That's it!... Frijid Pink. I think I need a break. Good call... it's been years. I'm hearing it in my head as I write... not my kind of music in the first place but that one song is what I was thinking of. Thanks. I must have been thinking of the laundry soap... even the LSD was Frijid Pink... and that wasn't my thing to do either. I better quit while I'm behind... or something like that....Are you sure you don't mean Frijid Pink's HOTRS? They do have a similar sound to BC (screechy guitar)and a nonsensical name with a color
