Just got back from the Pentagram show tonight at BB King's in NYC. Really awesome set (lots of classics)! I highly recommend seeing this band to anyone here who is into the doomier side of things. I met Bobby Liebling right after the gig and we talked for a few minutes about BC & Dickie. Really nice dude!

How many Tabs did you drop while listening to it, GypsyBall? (Actually, the name of the band on this album is "Monster Magnet 25").

Just been round to see one of the few reunion shows being put on by Stoner Rock legends SLEEP. Really intense show and one of the loudest I've seen since the 80's. They definitely had the BC concept of making the music physical down pat. You can feel the bass throughout your whole body even up in the balcony. Unlike a BC show though, my ears cleared up by the end of the night. I guess they were going for the volumous rather than the deafening....

Actually, you are on topic by many degrees of seperation. Once when I was talking to Joey Hasselvander he mentioned that he saw a Cathedral show and that it was really good. So, Rokkz, by looking at your icon shall I assume that you are a MANOWAR fan? Can anyone guess the degrees of seperation between Manowar & BC?

i am a very proud fan of the band "MANOWAR" since 1983
they follow the tru footsteps of the orgins of the movement.....
even though joey d. sites sabbath as his direct connection to his bands music......
manowar is a band with music that continues the strides that were layed out by the pioneers.
if you want my comparision of manowar to b.c.
i would equate it like this both bands are 'volumemus de metal maximus' !!!
manowar do hold the official and unofficial record as loudest band in the world

Well, as we got everyone hopping mad.
What does BC fans think of Queensryche?
I was never really into them when they started out. sounded too much like a Pink Floyd copy.
But they have aged well. Rockenfield is a killer drummer, would you agree?
over to you....

Just woke up from last night's MONSTER MAGNET show. As always the band was amazing! We were a little shocked to see that Ed Mundell is no longer the lead guitarist. Hey Duck, here's a gig you could do major justice to (in your sleep!). Well....it's a thought.....

I'll presume everyone knows this already but in case, following is the Reuters article, then a statement from Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead.
Psychedelic icon Owsley Stanley dies in Australia
(2011-03-13)
(REUTERS) -
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Owsley "Bear" Stanley, a 1960s counterculture figure who flooded the flower power scene with LSD and was an early benefactor of the Grateful Dead, died in a car crash in his adopted home country of Australia on Sunday, his family said. He was believed to be 76.
The renegade grandson of a former governor of Kentucky, Stanley helped lay the foundation for the psychedelic era by producing more than a million doses of LSD at his labs in San Francisco's Bay Area.
"He made acid so pure and wonderful that people like Jimi Hendrix wrote hit songs about it and others named their band in its honor," former rock 'n' roll tour manager Sam Cutler wrote in his 2008 memoirs "You Can't Always Get What You Want."
Hendrix's song "Purple Haze" was reputedly inspired by a batch of Stanley's product, though the guitarist denied any drug link. The ear-splitting blues-psychedelic combo Blue Cheer took its named from another batch.
Stanley briefly managed the Grateful Dead, and oversaw every aspect of their live sound at a time when little thought was given to amplification in public venues. His tape recordings of Dead concerts were turned into live albums.
The Dead wrote about him in their song "Alice D. Millionaire" after a 1967 arrest prompted a newspaper to describe Stanley as an "LSD millionaire." Steely Dan's 1976 single "Kid Charlemagne" was loosely inspired by Stanley's exploits.
According to a 2007 profile in the San Francisco Chronicle, Stanley started cooking LSD after discovering the recipe in a chemistry journal at the University of California, Berkeley.
The police raided his first lab in 1966, but Stanley successfully sued for the return of his equipment. After a marijuana bust in 1970, he went to prison for two years.
"I wound up doing time for something I should have been rewarded for," he told the Chronicle's Joel Selvin. "What I did was a community service, the way I look at it. I was punished for political reasons. Absolutely meaningless. Was I a criminal? No. I was a good member of society. Only my society and the one making the laws are different."
He emigrated to the tropical Australian state of Queensland in the early 1980s, apparently fearful of a new ice age, and sold enamel sculptures on the Internet. He lost one of his vocal cords to cancer.
Stanley was born Augustus Owsley Stanley III in Kentucky, a state governed by his namesake grandfather from 1915 to 1919. He served in the U.S. Air Force for 18 months, studied ballet in Los Angeles, and then enrolled at UC Berkeley. In addition to being an LSD advocate, he adhered to an all-meat diet.
A statement released by Cutler on behalf of Stanley's family said the car crash occurred near his home in far north Queensland. He is survived by his wife Sheila, four children, eight grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
Fare thee well, Bear Karma: 8

A Beautiful Mind
I received a text in the middle of last night that Bear Stanley has died in a car accident in Australia. Bear, for me, was a true kindred spirit; when we first met, it was as if I had met a long-lost brother from another lifetime. I am heartbroken and devastated at his passing.
He was a friend, a brother, an inspiration, and our patron at the very beginning of our creative lives. We owe him more than what can be counted or added up- his was a mind that refused to accept limits, and he reinforced in us that striving for the infinite, the refusal to accept the status quo, that has informed so much of our work.
He never gave up his quest for pushing the limits of whatever he was working on. We had just been discussing his concept of point-source sound reinforcement in relation to a new project of mine, and his vision incorporated the latest developments in technology and perceptual research.
My heart goes out to his family, for whom he had such love and pride- his wife Sheilah, his children, grand-children, and great-grandchildren- who have lost their patriarch.
A mind like Bear’s appears very rarely, and it’s been my privilege and honor to have known and lovedtwo such minds- Jerry and Bear. I always laugh when I think about what Jerry once said about Bear: There’s nothing wrong with Bear that several billion fewer brain cells wouldn't fix.
I am eternally grateful for all of the gifts that Bear brought to the scene and to the music.
Fare you well; I love you more than words can tell.
- Phil
