This was supposedly recorded back in 1969, but never released. Check it out here. Interesting, to say the least. I dig the super bluesy feel. |

Who's better than Sab? Nobody.
What's the story behind this, Shev?

I have the debut Andromeda cd from '69 as well as a 2 disc career retrospective, how exactly did Sab rip them off?

I THINK THE OPENING RIFF OF 'RETURN TO SANITY' SAYS IT ALL.

What's the story behind this, Shev? To be honest with you, I'm not quite sure. This was originally recorded to be included as a B-side, but I guess the band never felt it was good enough material. I'll look around and see if I can't find any more info. |

Hmm... Return to Sanity, yeah. I'll grant you it is a rather ... ah, familiar riff, but who's to say who "ripped" who off? I'm sure they were probably both playing out at the same time in the same area, could be the other way around? In any event, that one riff aside, Sab and Andromeda really sound nothing alike (unfortunately).
Incidentally, I was just reading the other day that Sab swiped the title of "Sweetleaf" from one of their Vertigo label mates, hehe.
Also, if you guys are into 70s hard rock/proto-metal stuff, some recommendations:
Good stuff: Leafhound, Sir Lord Baltimore, Necromandus, Buffalo, Lucifer's Friend, Bang, Iron Claw, Pentagram, Highway Robbery, Warhorse, Flower Travellin Band, Hawkwind, Deep Purple, Sabbath, Daemon, Dust, Ram Jam, Debris, Simply Saucer, Zior, Warlord, etc.
Stuff I didn't like: Camel, Frumpy, Birth Control, Atomic Rooster, Captain Beyond, Illusion, Flied Egg, Iron Maiden
OK, but not hard enough: Phafner, Josephus

I'm talking about the 70s Pentagram and Warhorse, Shev. The newer Warhorse I believe is a completely different group, just having the same name. Pentagram is the "same" band, but the sound of their stuff on First Daze Here (stuff from like '73) is pretty different from their newer stuff.

I figured you were talking about a different Warhorse. Never heard the 70's band, but the current Warhorse blows my doomy doors off so I threw it in there.

If Im into 30 Seconds to Mars will I dig them? |

I don't know what 30 Seconds to Mars is. Hawkwind put out a shitload of records, some great, some abyssmal. I really like Warrior on the Edge of Time, Space Ritual, and Hall of the Mountain Grill. They are kind of a spacy-hard-prog rock that flirts with metal on occasion. Lemmy was their bass player before he got the boot; in fact "Motorhead" is the name of a Hawkwind song.
