Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on KZfaq, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on KZfaq. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on KZfaq, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.
If you enjoy this video and my reactions make sure you subscribe to the channel, like the video and comment down below which video you would like to see me react to next.

This sure brings back good memories. Imagine dancing to this entire song, which we were definitely into doing. Also remember buying the album - this song took up the entire second side, and we were happy to set the needle and let it rip. Of course, there was no internet or cell phones back then, so we had the time. 😉 Really enjoyed this, thanks.

The story I read by a band member was that he got too wasted on multiple things the night before and showed up a bit late still unable to walk or talk too well. When he started to sing in the garden of eden it became in a gadda da vida and by the time he straightened out the band liked it better.

Excellent that you reacted to this!!! I grew up in the 60s with The Beatles, but I remember traveling with my parents to see my godparents in Michigan. Their daughter had left some albums in their basement, and this was one of them. When I listened to it my immediate reaction was, "what is this"??? This album was the musical door opening beyond The Beatles, and then into the Woodstock era!! What an impact it had!!!! This was considered "heavy" music. Again, great reaction!!

I was 18 in 1968 the first time I heard it on the radio. They never played the LP version because Radio Stations were required to play 3 minute, more or less, songs so they can talk and do their commercials. I was not aware of the drum solo until years later after I was discharged from the Army and purchased the full length album, falling in love again with the genius of this performance. The common knowledge at the time was that the band (which most musicians were) on drugs (LSD, Quayluds, Weed, etc.) and wrote the song originally named "In the Garden of Eden". If you want an idea of what genius 1968 produced listen to Vanilla Fudge "You just keep me hangin' on" performed on the Ed Sulivan Show or the Rascals "Good Lovin".

the story is that the lead singer was so high he couldn't say, in the garden of Eden, and so it came out as Inna gadda da vida, if you listen closely, the first time through the verse, it sounds like in the garden of Eden, the 2nd time through, it's definately in a gotta da vida.

Iron butterfly was a four member (organ, bass, drums, & guitar) band. Deep Purple's 1st incarnation (Mk 1) was based on Vanilla Fudge (a New York more or less Psychedelic, & early Prog Rock band) whose 1st album (untitled) came out June 2, 1967. Iron Butterfly was a more or less CA Psychedelic band, whose 1st album, Heavy, came out Jan. 22, 1968. Iron Butterfly's 2nd album, In A Gadda Da Vida, came out June 14, 1968. Deep Purple (Mk 1) (an English early Prog Rock band) was formed in March 1968. Their 1st album, Shades of Deep Purple, came out July 17, 1968.

@williamosborne6866 11 ай бұрын

This was categorized as acid/psychedelic rock. There was a seriously chopped and shortened version done for AM (FM didn't surface widely for a number of years later) radio. The common practice at the time was to keep songs at around 3-1/2 minutes or less). A lot of great classic songs from that era suffered the same treatment, like the Doors "Light My Fire". The title was about Adam and Eve planned to be titled "In the Garden Of Eden", but writer/keyboardist Doug Ingle was so drunk when he told it to the rest of the band, it came out "In A Gadda Da Vida". FYI, the guitarist (Erik Brann) was just 17 at the time of the recording (the same age as Justin Hayward when he penned the monumental epic "Nights in White Satin").

"Ina gadda da vida"... it was supposed to say "in the garden of eden", but it came out garbled or something when they made this song, so they went with "Ina gadda da vida" and it stuck. No, this was way before progressive rock, it's called psychedelic rock... imagine listening to this song and watching the "effects" (if you were lucky to see it somewhere, or else you just heard the short version on the radio) while tripping on acid or stoned out of your skull.

VH1 called this 1968 "prog Rock" song the 24th greatest hard rock song of all time. It is also widely acknowledged as a heavy metal music influence and one of the genre's forefathers. This was a meditative sonic trip to close your eyes, relax and dive deep unto the song. There really wasn't anything like this in 1968, I'm sure it influenced many musicians to create long jams.

Before prog, but contributing the liberty of length, as their main innovation, Iron Butterfly could float like a butterfly, but be hard and heavy like iron. So definitely protometal. The prepared guitar sounds, for lack of better term, and the drum solo, were also innovations of this song. Neologizing a word for the title yet another. Even the very long hair was brand new at the time. At the time, my brother, here in the South, won a Science honor and was flown to New York City, where he got to meet Muhammad Ali and shake his very large hand, and see the top of the Empire State Building, then the world's tallest. When he returned, however, he brought a copy of that record, and a Peter Max Manhattan phone book. Groovy was a go-go going. As his chum was a DJ, he then played the whole thing for Charlotte to hear, and so we were among the first cities to be apprised of the new way. I could play the drum solo with my feet, it was that familiar...and easy really...but persistent, like tribal drums. Great memory, thanks man.

Dropping off another artist that is also considered "The Godfather of Grunge rock" Neil Young is one of the most influential rock musicians of all time. While his influence is far reaching, the genre of grunge, which is linked so closely to Seattle grunge in the 1990's. And because of Young's willingness to be politically outspoken and socially conscious made an impact on up-and-coming bands such as Phish, Pearl Jam, and Nirvana. Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder both were quick to point out how much they owed their success to Young. Here's a live performance, if interested. "Neil Young - Long May You Run (Unplugged)" and if you'd like to checkout Pearl Jam then give this one a listen "Pearl Jam - Black - Acustico - Unplugged - HD" Eddie Vedder is the lead singer and is known for his powerful and deep baritone voice.

Not much here in the way of lyrics but this band sure set the stage for psychedelic rock and extended jams. They've got listening sense, too; like Quentin Tarantino in his movies, this band knows when to stop with the repetitive or stretched-out sections and move on to something entirely different but equally enthralling. If you're adventurous and hunt around on KZfaq, there's a "live" performance (it might be a video performance with the song overlayed), but it's nice to see the guys synch up with each other. Let's go to church with that organ. It morphs into a Middle Eastern mode in another section. Definitely a nice composition with each instrument getting some highlights and focus. I'm usually happy listening to this tune, but you, CR, are eatin' it up!!! Good choice. Have a look for that "live" version if it sounds interesting.
