This song is significant in rock history because, together with Blue Cheer and Steppenwolf, it marks the point when psychedelic music produced heavy metal. Later 1970s heavy metal and progressive rock acts like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin owe much of their sound, and even more of their live acts, to this recording.A rumour in 1970 was that the song was a transcription of a funeral and burial when the 33-1/3 version was played at 16 rpm. While it may not have been intended by the writers, if listened to at the slower speed, various parts do include sounds like wailing, funeral marches, and the shoveling of dirt.
