Long before KISS, before Alice Cooper, there was Arthur Brown. He was one of the first rockers to incorporate theatrics into his performances. At one gig in Italy he got naked on stage. Screamin’ Jay Hawkins in the 50’s wasn’t even this outrageous. Brown’s trademark move was to wear a metal headpiece doused in methanol or lighter fluid and set it on fire. It looked like a flaming spaghetti strainer, actually.

Carl Palmer was his group's drummer (????)
Yeah, Carl was with Arthur for only a few months, right after this single and just before Emerson, Lake and Palmer.
