Sir Lord Baltimore - Currently I'm re-reading Bill Graham's autobiography (No, not THAT Bill Graham!). A tremendous book that, without trying to, explains very clearly much of what's wrong with the American music industry today, but I digress. Here's a tale about Sir Lord Baltimore I just read last night: "Dee Anthony had a group called SLB booked into the Fillmore East. They were so awful. As we were moving their equipment, we found a book on how to play guitar on the gtr players amplifier. For the rest of the weekend, we kept asking him what page he was on".
Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's
Have been a fan of hard rock/metal since high school. Always liked the heavy/physcadelic bands equally to the metal bands I grew up with Ozzy-Maiden and Scorpions ect. Recently on Youtube I discovered some heavy/physcadelic bands I was unaware of. 13th Floor Elevators-Five Day Rain-Probe Direction-The Hook and Vahalla. Are these bands albums worth persuing? Feel free to mention any other band that deserves to be heard. Look forward to your responses.
