Blue Cheer was an American rock band that initially performed and recorded in the late 1960s and early 1970s and was sporadically active until 2009. Based in San Francisco, Blue Cheer played in a psychedelic blues rock or acid rock style, and are also credited as being some of the earliest pioneers of heavy metal, with their cover of "Summertime Blues" sometimes cited as the first in the genre.
They have also been noted as influential in the development of genres as disparate as punk rock, stoner rock, doom metal, experimental rock, and grunge.

Saw them at Winterland in S.F. in 1968. They were so loud that dust was coming down from the rafters. Admission then was one dollar to see three bands. Folks were upset when they raised it $1.25. I'm old now but, the memories of those days make me a wealthy soul.

Eric Clapton claimed in an interview with Uncut in 2012 that Blue Cheer were the first heavy metal band. He said “It was about the term “heavy metal” and it’s origins. Here’s a few quotes……. While admitting that Led Zeppelin took the next steps towards metal, Clapton wasn’t particularly thrilled with the trend they set. “There was a band called Blue Cheer, who I think were probably the originators of heavy metal,” Clapton told Uncut in 2012. “Because they didn’t really have traditional roots in the Blues. They didn’t have a mission. It was just about being loud. Cream were very loud, too,” he continued. “We got caught up in having huge banks of Marshall amps just for the hell of it. But we had a really strong foundation in blues and jazz. Led Zeppelin took up our legacy. But then they took it somewhere else that I didn’t really have a great deal of admiration for.”

Saw all the bands back in the '60s/'70s. The first heavy bands I saw were Hendrix, The Who and Cream when I was in London in 1966. When I moved to San Francisco in early '67, I saw Blue Cheer. They were the loudest, wildest rock band period. Their energy was off the charts and their hair was longer than any band expect maybe Quicksilver Messenger Service. BC were the prototype of Heavy Metal. Blue Cheer albums were great, but they sounded like psychedelic hard Rock. Blue Cheer live sounded different ... darker and wicked like Black Sabbath 2 or 3 years before Sabbath. I attended many Sabbath concerts later but for me, Blue Cheer was the first true heavy metal band I heard live. Check out the "Population II" album by one of Blue Cheer's guitarists, Randy Holden recorded in '69 which sounds similar to Sabbath. Concert goers were often literally in shock afterwards ... stood still with mouths agape as if to say, "what the hell just happened?" Louder than God.

Drew Whitney - their music wasn't ahead of the time, it was Loud. They were famous for recording in Boston Harbor (like outside) because of their volume. Lots of people had long hair then. This was, of course, an Eddie Cochran cover. Not exactly groundbreaking. Now Hendrix, on the other hand, was revolutionary. His music was extraordinary and had a Far greater impact. He even 'invented' a chord that no one in rock had used, the 7/#9. Many even called it the Hendrix chord.

Dudes use of 2 thundering floor toms was revolutionary. No keeping time on the high hat for this boy. Doesnt look like he even used it. Big bright cymbals too....Incredible use of 5 of them., each with a different pitch. They project. Bass tone and playing.....meh.....it was not quite Jack Bruce, but it paved the way. This song is BCs one hit wonder however, and I am not aware of any of their other songs. Cream learned from this, as did Sabbath, the Who, etc. But as far as I know, this was THE first heavy metal song recorded.

@@wzortrex It's hard to really call it 'Heavy Metal' as it definitely has a traditional rock structure, but no doubt that certain aspects of it, especially the thunderous drumming of Paul Whaley had a huge influence on the developpement of Heavy Metal. I mean he's banging those drums as hard as any modern heavy metal drummer. It's a true kick to watch him play and interestingly, he's the son of a country singer. You'd think, how does a country influenced drummer ended up creating heavy metal drumming, but here it is.

I saw these guys at Awalt High School in 1968, the senior class hired them for senior day concert. I remember the guitar players guitar giving out part way through the concert. He went to the mike and jokingly asked if anybody had a spare Gibson SG standard. One of my classmates hollered out "I do !" and proceeded to run all the way home, a few blocks away, brought back his guitar and they finished the concert. If I remember right, the PA went out next but nobody cared !

When this came out in the 60s, I was pretty much an unmotivated longhair spending more time at the beach in SoCal than I did looking for a job. I had a cheesy record player, but my dad had a high end system with massive speakers that he rarely utilized. I used to drop by their house now and then during the day while they were at work. One of my favorite activities was to get wrecked, crank up Blue Cheer and rock out.

My group played a club in Manchester, CT. We had just got off a few days earlier opening for Vanilla Fudge. We received a great review from the Hartford Advocate and the Courant. David’s of Manchester ran a full page Ad with photos from the concert and our press photo. Our roadies had our equipment set up in the afternoon. When we arrived at David’s they were not letting people in because it was over capacity and there was a line out the door. We almost did not get in to play. George our lead singer had to beg the fire marshal to get someone to let us in. We were told that we put on the best show that club ever saw. That night when we finished we were approached by a Paul Whaley. “ Hello, My name is Paul. We really think your boys are great. We enjoyed your music and show.” Paul, later we found out was with Blue Cheer. The whole band was there.

My dad and him came home after a night of partying and I remember my dad being kind of in a weird state of mind telling me Leigh was going to be my godfather. LOL, crazy kids!!

Originally done by Eddie Cochran in the 1950's Ray Edward Cochran (/ˈkɒkrən/; October 3, 1938 - April 17, 1960) was an American rock and roll musician. Cochran's songs, such as "Twenty Flight Rock", "Summertime Blues", "C'mon Everybody", and "Somethin' Else", captured teenage frustration and desire in the mid-1950s and early 1960s.] He experimented with multitrack recording, distortion techniques, and overdubbing even on his earliest singles. He played the guitar, piano, bass, and drums. His image as a sharply dressed and attractive young man with a rebellious attitude epitomized the stance of the 1950s rocker, and in death he achieved iconic status. - more at Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Cochran The original version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-In7z7B87Puc.html

My mom was going to the grocery store and drug store, and asked me if there was anything she could get me while she was out. I had saved up a couple bucks, and I had been eyeing Vincebus Eruptum, in the little rack of records at the small town drug store where I used to stop and by a candy bar on the walk home from school. I gave her the money and asked to to buy that album for me. I played the hell out of it for years to come, and soon got a copy of Outsideinside. I still need a little dose of Blue Cheer from time to time.
