Iron Butterfly bassist Lee Dorman dies at age 70
Sat, Dec 22, 2012 — Lee Dorman, the bassist for psychedelic rock band Iron Butterfly, has died at age 70.

Orange County sheriff's spokeswoman Gail Krause says Dorman was found dead in a vehicle Friday morning. A coroner's investigation is under way, but foul play is not suspected.

Krause said Dorman may have been on his way to a doctor's appointment when he died.

Iron Butterfly was formed and rose to prominence in the late 1960s. Its second album, "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," sold more than 30 million copies, according to the band's website. The title track's distinctive notes have been featured in numerous films and TV shows including "The Simpsons," ''That '70s Show" and in the series finale of "Rescue Me."

Douglas Lee Dorman was born in September 1942 and had been living in Laguna Niguel, a coastal city in Southern California, when he died.

A message sent through the band's website was not immediately returned.

I remember seeing them in Pittsburgh the summer of 1969.

It was the 60s, if you can remember it, you weren't there.

Been to a few like that myself, I've been told.

Same here, although I remember many others pretty well.
Could it just be that they weren't memorable?

I remember them doing Inagaddadavida, but that is it.

A local radio station at the time dealt with the not-wearing-well of In-a-Gadda-da-Vida by speeding it up eight times normal speed so the whole thing played in two and a half minutes. Made the drum solo sound like a geiger counter at a nuclear waste dump.

I used to like to request it to guys singing and playing acoustic guitar.

There's a good request for a solo guitar, since you have a chord and a drum accent on the same beat. Might work better on a piano? (goes off to piano to experiment...)
