What is the significance of the live bootleg cover. It seems very inappropriate to me to have a blaitant 3-peice cut wit an mc and 1% diamond? Someone clue me in.

That is privileged info for members of the circle only. Why don't you at least register here first before we give you a clue?

Why do you think that the cover is inappropriate? I don't see anything wrong with it. It fits the aura of the band....

There is nothing wrong with it I suppose if they are truely a 1% mc club, that is their cut which was approved by the dominate club in their area, or they are the dominate club in their area...These are symbols that have very heavy and significant meanings, that brave men have fought and died over.

Hi 10guage,
It looks like in your last post you anwered your own question. The 1% is what we call the most die-hard of BC supporters...basically people who have helped & supported the band through thick & thin and have "bravely fought hard & died" over doing it. And as far as cool music is concerned, based on what I've been seeing these day, BC is the dominate band in all geographical areas.

PS: The "MC" part actually says "Music." As in "Whole Lotta Shakin" going on" or "Poison Ivy."

Comparing a rock band and their supporters to men who actually have given up their lives, freedom, not to mention rights to live this lifestyle is not only ignorant it is dangerous. Since you obviously have no clue let me just tell you, three piece mc cuts and 1% diamonds are not just given out or purchased they are earned. AND NOT BY SUPPORTING YOUR FAVORITE BAND!
Next time you see a clubber with a 1% diamond make sure you tell them that you are a 1%er too...and make sure you show them your cool t-shirt Hell you might as well call them bro!

when blue cheer first came out on the scene their closest friends were a bunch of hell's angels. shit, even their manager was an angel. they headlined a few years back at the laconia bike fest. dickie played for awhile in the hank davison band, a popular biker band. i'm sure that blue cheer would know all the biker rules and not put anything on a record that would piss off bikers.

Speaking of Laconia I was at that show which was where Feedback Lourde and I met and became close friends since that show,....and he can account first hand as what I'm going to say that most the bikers there didn't even have a clue who Blue Cheer was which I was really taken back by being for the fact that BC was reputed by having been affiliated with the Hells Angels,...FBL and I along with a few others were the only ones rockin' out to BC while a lot of the "so called" bikers stood at the back of the bar not even having a clue or not even appreciating the fact that BC were performing,....so much for the bikers there anyway

i do believe gut was an EX-angel, a fact most people seem to overlook. despite the fact that dickie has been affiliated with numerous bikers, and the band too, i would not call them a "biker band" as some do...maybe someone could clear this up? do bikers have a copyright on 1% ? i thought it referred to the small percentage of the population who stand behind BC...but i am sure no insult is intended to anyone!

Members of motorcycle clubs are often viewed in a negative light by traditional society. This perception has been fueled by the movies, popular culture, and highly publicized incidents. One of the earliest and most notorious of these occurred in Hollister, California in 1947[7] [8] and is now dubbed the Hollister riot. Whether or not an actual riot occurred is debatable, but there was a motorcycle rally in Hollister from July 4 to July 6 of that year that was attended by about 4000 people. Several newspaper articles were written that, according to some attendees, sensationalized the event and Life magazine ran an article and a staged photograph of an intoxicated subject on a motorcycle parked in a bar. The film The Wild One, starring Marlon Brando, was inspired by the event, and it became the first in a series of movies that depicted bikers and members of motorcycle clubs in this stereotypical manner. The press asked the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) to comment on the Hollister incident and their response was that 99% of motorcyclists were law-abiding citizens, and the last one percent were outlaws. Thus was born the term, "one percenter."
Hence, due to the fact that the band caught a lot of shit in their early days by their musical peers for being way too against the grain by the day's standards, and the fact that it ain't easy being a BC fan, I'd say in a musical context there is some connection. Take this as a nod of approval or homage, not as an invasion on your turf.
