One of the things I’ve found interesting about this song is how the rhythm feel changes with the addition of each instrument in the beginning. The opening guitar sets a feel. The bass comes in and the feel changes. When the drums come in the feel changes again. It almost seems like a mistake in playing yet, it works! Great song. Great memories!

Yes indeed, that also is another great song.

Brief history on how this song got its name: the lead singer, and soon to be, other band mate, were in psychology class in college, and their professor, said "psychotic reaction" and the lead and other band mate, both whispered, "thatd be a great name for a song we could do!" And soon enough it hit the top 100 charts by about fall of 1966, of course this becomes their only hit and all other songs they did, never got higher than psychotic reaction...

Great guys from South San Francisco bay area 1965, San Jose Ca. The drummer and the singer have since past away but there is a memorial in San Jose for the whole band and their accomplishments for their time.

This is one of the first Psychedelic/Hard Rock songs. The Yardbirds were doing a lot of great stuff also, before the word "psychedelic" was used, like For Your Love, Heartful of Soul, etc. Awesome

@lucy bond I still had fears. I used to be scared when planes flew over, I thought we'd be bombed. I still had a great childhood, but we were assigned to go downtown and go into the underground basement of a department store, civil defense drills and the yellow sirens are still there. I guess I was about 7 during The Bay of Pigs with Soviets moving nuclear weapons to Cuba and the standoff. You can see the mass anxiety of the country watching the movies of the era, mutant creatures like The Blob. I had dreams about Germany and WWII as a very young child. I didn't know the boogeyman in the long black coat and boots looked like the SS officers. Blown out buildings and stormtroopers armed with rifles and bayonets with us pressed up against the wall hiding. I didn't recognize the architecture and war until I was in middle school and they showed movies. These nightmares terrified me before I could talk. They went away but dad always had to look under my bed and in the closet for the boogeyman. And I can still remember the one dream, the road curved and a tank would be coming. I've no idea how I had nightmares about something I'd never seen. I did. Pure distilled terror.

It was released in June of 1966 and peaked in the U.S on October 22, 1966 at #5. But they first came up with the idea for the song at the end of 1964 when two of the band members heard the term "psychotic reaction" in a college class they were taking. They worked on the song and kept improving it throughout 1965... but they could not get signed by any record company until finally the record label "Double Shot" signed them in the summer of 1966.

The introduction of each instrument is so cool and the drummer holds it all!!

There were many great garage songs, mostly unknown by the masses, this may be the greatest of all.

This song is an essential classic from mid 60's, it encapsulated all the elements if all the music from the 60's A little bit if Bob Dylan a little bit of British rock and a little bit if that californian surf guitar sound! And then there is that change in rhythm that knocks it out of the Park! They nailed it!!!!! 2020 and im still hooked!!!!

I still love this song! I'm 75 now. And I still have the original 45 rpm record!Thanks for bringing back some great memories. 🎵❤

Count Five psychotic reaction Garage Rock. Year 1966 I was 16 years old and the song, Psychotic Reaction, blew my mind. It was the first time I heard a harmonica riff in a Rock piece. (Later on, I would also listen to Dylan and Jagger) I knew when I grew up, that the crazed critic of Rock, Lester Bangs, (of Rolling Stone magazine and the CBGB club). He also loved this song and had even written a book with that name, in honor of the band "Count Five". (Claaaaroo I looked for that book and read it)

The fact that so many bands and artists have covered this song tells you all you need to know.

Still HOT after 50 years!!!!! :-o

LOVE those drum solos,which you rarely hear in rock today!!!!!

Wow. This was playing on our radios in 66. I was 14 and loved it!

Who would have ever guessed that these 5 guys and by the way there's dressed,would be playing some mind blowing music...And on "AMERICAN BANDSTAND to say the least...Good job 🎶🎵🎤🎸🥁🎹...

At 69 I can't find any of mine. Keeped them in a brown 45 box. O well, at least I still remember the song.

Wonderful music like this that we could enjoy at night from the 50 thousand-watt powerhouse AM stations helped me and many others survive brutal high school in those days. Indie is good now, but these classics still rule!

***** There were at least two: WLS and WCFL. The first featured shtick between Clark Weber and (maybe) Ron Riley; the latter was "The Voice of Labor", with Barney Pipp yelling, "Turn 'em all into peanut butter!" Sadly, both are now talk stations. Hope this helps.

1966 is an unforgettable year in music. I began a collection of pop 45's then -- some of which I still give spin. Somehow my musical tastes cannot move beyond the mid-Sixties

I first heard this song as a little-kid. Too this very day, ten-thousand years later, nothing kicks my ass like this damn song. Crazy. I'm still in love.

i remember my older cousin turning me on to this tune ... what a rush that was .....great music .. unfortunatly will never emerge again ..music nowadays sucks!!!!!!

this song was so before its time, It was old when I was young, I"m amazed I havent heard a huge amount of covers from others

What's interesting is that this was a bigger hit than any Yardbirds US release on the charts. When they were asked about The Yardbirds, they brought that up. To be fair, Yardbirds had a huge impact on actual US garage bands back then, at least, that's what a lot of bands bring up like Alice Cooper and Aerosmith.

O nascimento do rock in roll 💥 escuto essa musica anos 60 jogando o jogo mafia 3 ..............💥👻💥

Flashback! I remember lunch-break I'd head down to the liquor store and get a quart of bud and sit in the parking lot, drinking my Bud, and listening to the radio. This song came on every day, around 12:15... I was 21 yrs old! LEGAL

Excelente banda álbum buenisimo

Amazing how these 60s oldies can rejuvenate me - and I was born two years after this song was released. I think this is called "spirit of the time".

I was in a garage band when this came out. Whenever I think of those days, I remember someone in the 70's saying "John Lennon made us all want a guitar: Jimi Hendrix made us all want to learn to play it."

72 and still rockin. Grew up on 50s and 60s new music called Rock and Roll. Still have all my albums and 45s. Used to tape them onto cassettes to play in my car.

Never heard of these guys before. It came from YT recommendations. All I have to say is WOW! These guys seem to be way ahead of the times in 1966.
