Iron Butterfly

Iron Butterfly is an American band formed in San Diego in 1966. They are best known for their 17-minute magnum opus In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, which is notable for being a transition from Acid Rock to Heavy Metal.
Iron Butterfly are considered an early Metal band, but most of their stuff isn't too heavy. The best way to describe them would be Heavier than The Doors, but more Hippie than Black Sabbath. 
They're also supposedly the first band to have a platinum certified record. Y'know how lots of bands have inconsistent lineups, Iron Butterfly has possibly the most inconsistent lineups you could ever imagine. Too many people have been part of this band to count. More than half the band quit before their first album was released and they would not be the first or last to do so.
They're also a band with basically no original members. They haven't made any music since 1975, but are strangely still active as of 2015.
