12.72.134.101 15:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)This article needs a major rewrite. There are a number of inaccuracies, half-truths, and major omissions. For one thing, the list of members here is only correct for a few of their albums. Lee Dorman and Erik Braunn were not original members (although they were onboard for In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida) and LOTS of people who aren't mentioned were in the band at one point or another.
Also, while it's true that the band broke up in '71, the article fails to mention that the band has been reformed multiple times since then, and in fact that they are on tour today, with two members from the early days (Lee Dorman and Ron Bushy are in the band - Erik Braunn is dead and I have no idea what Ingle is doing or if he's sitll alive.)

There used to be a picture of the classic line-up as well, and that disappeared too and wasnt replaced.

[edit] "Soul Experience" was a chart-climber in 1969 or 1970
The main article suggests that "Innagaddadivida" was the group's biggest hit, and I don't dispute that, but how high did "Soul Experience" climb the charts when Ball first came out? I seem to remember 'Soul Experience' receiving a ton of air play in 1969 and 1970.

"Oceans Twelve" It sounds like Doug Ingle or Eric Brann had something to do with the score. Iron Butterfly had or has such a unique sound, and I'm not just talking a certain part of the movie, the whole movie score sounds like it was at least influenced by the "Butterfly". But now that I think about it the band has had so many changes its hard to credit anybody with the originality of the sound. Although if I was to credit anybody with the influence of the score it would be Doug Ingle and Eric Brann. Just an opinion.

[edit] Better Lead Image?
This current ones an album cover which really isnt a great lead. Any viable pic of the band? LordRobert 12:34, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Name correction, please
Is the young guitarist's name Brann or Braunn? The article uses both spellings. I seem to remember Braunn, but I no longer have the album to check. I also remember hearing that he was only high-school age when "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" was released. That'd be interesting in the article, if true. Grinhooks (talk) 16:33, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Update: Never mind, I verified and added the info myself. Erik Braunn's official (now posthumous) website, http://www.erikbraunn.net never refers to him by any other name, I can't yet confirm his birth name. Grinhooks (talk) 17:21, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Lineup section
This section is poorly formatted and too big, as well as unprofessionally written in places. Can anyone who knows a lot about Iron Butterfly fix it up? Rarr (talk) 01:11, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- i compacted the formatting. someone else will have to look at the content —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.110.223 (talk) 19:42, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Album sales
There was a discussion to this effect on the "list of best-selling albums" page, but how many copies each did Iron Butterfly's albums sell? Especial "In A Gadda Da Vida". The discography page says that "Heavy" and "Ball" went Gold each, and "In A Gadda Da Vida" went Quadruple Platinum, yet this seems ridiculously low. Any help, with sources/links/whatever would help to improve this article. Thank you. Dr Rgne (talk) 12:12, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Connections to a Group of Guys in Germany
The cut, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, was a very popular song for a group of morse intercept folks at Rothwesten.......you know who you were... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rdodson (talk • contribs) 02:42, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
And that's relevant to the article how exactly? Dr Rgne (talk) 09:06, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
