乐队简介:Iron Butterfly60年代的迷幻摇滚在今天似乎有些落伍,但在那个时代却是最为摇滚的声音之一。1966年,乐队组建后前往洛杉矶寻求发展。在大量的俱乐部演出后,乐队参加了the Doors和Jefferson Airplane的巡回演出,乐队最终引起了媒体的重视并且很快和Atco唱片公司签约。1968年,乐队的第一张专辑《Heavy》上市。同年底,乐队开始着手创作第2张专辑《In A Gadda Da Vida 》,这张专辑取得了惊人的成绩,不仅销出了400万张,而且在Top10上停留了1年多时间,这张专辑也成为历史第一张多白金唱片(当时,RIAA刚刚颁布最新唱片销量的评定方法)。专辑同名单曲“In A Gadda Da Vida”竟然长达17分钟,它融合了硬摇滚和迷幻摇滚,完美的体现了旧金山之声,成为了当时最受欢迎的摇滚曲目之一,它最好的成绩为排行榜第30位。1970年,专辑《Ball》成为金唱片后,乐队逐渐开始衰落,1971年宣告解体。70年代中期乐队曾经重组,但依然成绩平平,1977年,乐队最终解散。

The heavy, psychedelic acid rock of Iron Butterfly may seem dated to some today, but the group was one of the first hard rock bands to receive extensive radio airplay, and their best-known song, the 17-minute epic In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, established that more extended compositions were viable entries in the radio marketplace, paving the way for progressive AOR. The track was written by vocalist, organist, and bandleader Doug Ingle, who formed the first incarnation of Iron Butterfly in 1966 in San Diego with drummer Ron Bushy. After the group moved to Los Angeles and played the club scene, it secured a recording contract and got national exposure through tours with the Doors and Jefferson Airplane. Following the release of their 1968 debut album, Heavy, original members Jerry Penrod (bass), Darryl DeLoach (vocals), and Danny Weis (guitar) left the band and were replaced by guitarist Erik Braunn and bassist Lee Dorman. Weis went on to join Rhinoceros. The new lineup recorded In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida later that year, which sold four million copies and spent over a year in the Top Ten. (The title has been translated as in the garden of Eden or in the garden of life.) A shortened version of the title track, which contained extended instrumental passages with loud guitars and classical/Eastern-influenced organ, plus a two-and-a-half-minute drum solo, reached number 30 on the singles charts. The follow-up, Ball, showed greater musical variety and went gold, but it also marked the beginning of the bands decline. Braunn left the group and was replaced by guitarists Mike Pinera and Larry Rhino Reinhardt, but the groups success was largely over. Iron Butterfly broke up in 1971; Braunn and Bushy re-formed the group in the mid-70s without success.
