"blue cheer lives on. just one of the best bands of all times. amazing power trio. keeping the original rytem section of dickie peterson and paul whaley [the most underated drummer of all time] and the great bass playing and killer vocals by dickie, mixed with the outstanding fret work of duck mcdonald, how could you lose. i saw them two nights in a row in feb. 2008. these shows rank up there with the best i've ever seen. i was there in the 60'S, the fillmore, the avalon, magic mountain, altamont. seen everybody and blue cheer after all these years are still the real deal. thanks guys for all the great music."

"The Return of Blue Cheer!! How nice to have such classic sounding guitars and a raw bluesy vocal screaming from my speakers in the form of a newly recorded 2007 release. Blue Cheer has always been ballsy awesome and are even more so into the 'Now'.
This great vintage sounding album is a breath of fresh air from start to finish. Recommended!!"

"If you enjoy the classic bands like Rush you will like this CD. It's nice to hear new blues and rock songs from Blue Cheer. A nice CD just wish it was longer. So I could listen to more of a classic band."
Let's rock !

"Blue Cheer's "What Doesn't Kill You" is a flat out great cd, packed with killer songs like "Maladjusted Child", "Piece O' the Pie", "I'm Gonna Get To You", "Rollin' Dem Bones", and much more, including a smokin' remake of their own chestnut "Just A Little Bit" and a faithful yet fresh cover of the old blues nugget "Born Under A Bad Sign". Original drummer Paul Whaley plays on half of the tracks, and veteran Blue cheer alumni Joe Hasselvander plays on the other half. This cd is a return to the early, heavy, raw Blue Cheer sound, but with much better production. Andrew "Duck" MacDonald is one amazing guitarist, perfecting the ultimate tone and vibe for this band. The original heavy metal power trio is here, look no further, accept no substitutes. Blue Cheer is the real deal. If you want heavy, blues based, power trio rock, it's here. Catch Blue Cheer live if you can, I can tell you they will rock your head off. I saw them last year at a club in Sacto, CA (The Blue Lamp, no less) and they really tore the roof off the dump. Dickie, Paul and Duck are one of the best bands on earth. You gotta love Blue Cheer, and in 2009, they are just what the world needs."
