Iron Butterfly? named after the Band from the era?

its named after the actual gun truck that was in vietnam, but the duce was butterfly jr.....

 

[Elwenil]

I believe the original Iron butterfly was named after the band since the logo is identical to theirs on the albums. Nothing like a 10 minute long drum solo...
