You were quoted while filmed for the 2007 BBC PG doc, that you heard sounds from the basement in Munich that sounded "evil". Was it just a guitarist with a Wah pedal among Germans? I'd feel the same way.
I watched a movie based on Uschi Obermaier's life three years ago with German subtitles. The see you next Tuesday person never mentioned Peter Green. If you are a fan of Keith Richards, and the Stones...go to town!

While I obviously have no way of knowing what that music may have sounded like, considering that Uschi Obermaier is considered an early member of the German band Amon Düül, it would not be a stretch to imagine that the members of the High-Fish commune might have tried to emulate their music. Check Youtube clips of their early recordings and you could see where Peter Green in 1970 may well have been drawn to their style.
Here's an example of the original Amon Düül, before they split into "Amon Düül I" and "Amon Düül II":

And here's some early Amon Düül II (generally more professional and structured music than the original Amon Düül):

Even as well-traveled as the band was by early 1970, the people and music at the High-Fish commune might well have been something new to them - perhaps exciting to Peter Green but somewhat strange and a bit frightening to the other band members.
