Fire. The crazy world of Arthur Brown. Yes you’ve heard it but if you have not seen the video from back in 1968. Well you’re in for a treat. Actually this is a lip sync version and the real one was similar but a little better. It seems to be gone from YouTube now. Arthur probably had it pulled.

Yeah, when I get up there I hope to hear Hendrix, maybe Cobain, Entwhistle, Watts or maybe Moon, jammin.

And another high energy excellent performance from Riverside

"Խոսկապ" / "Matchmaking"

Dogma

Armenian folk-metal!

I first learned of this band when Ian Anderson collaborated with them around the time of this release.

Lead singer Zara Gevorgyan does a fantastic job with dynamics. She can really belt when she wants to, but just as good are the delicate, high-speed runs she sings in harmony over the lead guitar. Listen for them near the beginning, around the 30-second mark.

Man. lol. I heard that song a thousand times growing up but I didn’t have a clue about him, or the stage show, until a few years ago. What a character, and he never really gave up the weirdness! I had probably that same link of the original saved but it’s dead now. Here’s the same TOTP footage…a little cleaner but I usually try to save more than one video on youtube since they disappear so often. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en1uwIzI3SE

And seven years later in full technicolor, not synched. I read about his fire accidents and all the helpers. He was before his time in all this…I wonder if Alice Cooper and Kiss and a lot of the early punk and black metal bands were influenced by him in the 70s.

But that dance….



They were never as big as they probably could have been. Lotta good stuff from them.
