MORE ON THE ARTIST & RELEASE: Leigh Stephens has recorded two albums with the band, Vincebus Eruptum and Outsideinside. He has claimed to have been the only member of the band who did not use drugs. His replacement as Blue Cheer's lead guitarist was Randy Holden.

After Blue Cheer

After recording a solo album, Red Weather, Leigh Stephens went on to form Silver Metre in 1969, with Micky Waller (drummer), who had just been fired from the Jeff Beck Group; other members of the band were Pete Sears and Jack Reynolds (singer), recorded one album at Trident Studios in London, England, released on the National General Records, produced by their manager, FM rock radio pioneer Tom Donahue.

Leigh Stephens also formed another band in 1971 called Pilot. Pilot only produced one album in 1972 that is self-titled. The members were Bruce Stephens (vocals, keyboards and guitar), Leigh Stephens (electric guitar), Martin Quittenton (acoustic guitar), Neville Whitehead (bass) and Mick Waller (drums).

His 1971 album, And a Cast of Thousands featured among other musicians, his fellow band members from the above-mentioned band, together with the power trio Ashton, Gardner & Dyke, together with the two sax players from If, Dave Quincey, Dick Morrissey, and Jethro Tull bassist, Glenn Cornick.

While still involved in the music scene in the early 1990s, Stephens also worked as a graphic artist and studio photographer. He designed automotive illustrations for the advertising and production of a mail order catalog company ASAP in Carson City, Nevada. A co-worker there remembers the day he brought his own guitar in to join some other graphic artists who jammed together on Thursday evenings after work. While Stephens never joined them in their sessions, he did ask the artist if he could play his acoustic guitar in the production department. The co-worker's introduction to Stephens he says; "Was a strange and awesome way to meet the best guitarist I've ever heard in person. Who knew I was working with him everyday?" and as this is written, the co-worker still has that old Takamine acoustic guitar in his possession.
