BoC has a huge and varied catalogue. They are probably the most underrated band of their era. They can make it bluesy or proggy.
and check this out.
I was reading a bio on don Buck Dharma rosier and it states he has never wrote the same riff, nor solo in any of his songs.....ever.
That is insane! 50 years...hundreds of songs...never the same riff or solo?
WOW THAT IS THE DEFFINITION OF CREATIVE. for 50 fucking years.
just wow.
BOC has a ton of great songs. Most people have only ever heard Reaper, Burning For You, and ocassionally Godzilla. Listen to almost any song off their first 4 albums and it will be good. Secret Treaties is probably their best overall album but my 2 faves are Before the Kiss, a Redcap from their 1st album and The Red and the Black from Tyranny and Mutation.
BÖC is an entertaining rabbit hole. Astronomy, Veteran of the Psychic Wars, Cities on Flame, The Reaper, Golden Age of Leather, The Red and the Black, I could go on and on. Incredible live!
The live performances are all epic. Thinking of "Then Came the Last Days of May" among countless others.
Veteran of the Psychic Wars is my absolute favorite and every time I hear it, I end up re-watching Heavy Metal (1981).
My favorite is Black Blade.
Thats how people escaped back then thru music it was a way of life.
A novelty song that truly rocks. Burnin' For You by BOC is excellent too.
"Cities on Flame", is an incredible BOC song.....
Yes it is, Love the live version on "On Your Feet or on your Knees"
Dude, i grew up i this era. I was so spoiled. It was just the norm . Honestly, 1965- 1980 was the gold standard. I think you're blown away because you think you tapped the well. But, alas you've merely skimmed the musical surface!!. Keep digging. Your life will be richer for it!
I agree, and also grew up in this era. Other examples of this good, gritty rockin' style would be: Vanilla Fudge, Blue Cheer, Frijid Pink, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, The Stooges (of course), MC5, Leslie West and Mountain, J. Geils Band and more. Peace.
well said...
@@donthomasdunigan7004 agreed!! Representing Detroit rock city!!
There is an amazing live performance of "Veteran of the psychic war" Buck Dharma is an incredible guitarist.
Yes. Exactly. From the Black and Blue tour. Great choice.
It’s so good
Love that solo by Buck on this live song.....epic. It is a must listen to song.
dude 1981 one of my top ten rock guitar solos of the 80's hands down....maybe top 3
He is a very underrated guitarist. He had some flash but played mostly for the tune. Kind of like George Harrison in that respect
The three Black and White albums of Blue Oyster Cult were really the pinnacle of their artisanship as musicians and writers. Secret Treaties should be considered in the top three Progressive concept albums of all time. To me it's #1, but most people haven't even heard a song from it.
So Chod.....Mebbe I can give a little insight to your question about why there were so many musically talented players back in my day (I'm 64 btw). Back in grade school, we HAD to take a music class. Is it that way today??? There's your answer my man. You can't find out if you have a/the gift if you don't pick up an instrument.
In concert, this song is preceded by slow, distant thuds, low, low bass, gradually getting louder, giant footsteps approaching. BoC wa doing it live decades before Jurassic Park in theaters. Always got the crowd really jazzed. They know how to do a great live show, even in small venues. No big effects, just sounds, and music, and an engagement with the audience.
Right...and AB did his drum solo with a Godzilla head on!.. 👍
Am I crazy or isn't there a better longer version? I saw them in 1981 and when they rolled out a humongous Godzilla with red glowing eyes blowing smoke from it's nose it was so bad ass!!! Loved it!
BOC - Burning for You
Great band with a solid discography. Unique band that had multiple vocalists and tremendous musicians. Plus a horde of great writers.
So much intelligence and coolness with BÖC! "Astronomy," "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" (cowritten with author Michael Moorcock), and "I Love the Night" are great songs and they're all really different from each other.
Great Reaction!.. "Astronomy", "Harvester Of Eyes", "Black Blade", or "Veteran Of the Psychic Wars" are all excellent tunes to check out..
Awesome selection. I couldn't agree more.
Especially some of those liver versions. Buck Dharma goes OFF.
Saw them on the Black and Blue tour with sabbath.
so did i at the nassau coliseum.. on long island......we snuck in beers in our waistlines...never checked back then....we each had 4 dubes and a 1/4 oz of blow....although i came to see ozzy....dio filled in nicely......concert was so good they're still talking about it today....we were so wasted we couldn't find the car......40ft godzilla breathing fire...
B O C "Take Me Away" best alien abduction song ever!
"Walk This Way" was originally performed by Aerosmith in the 70's, not Run DMC, Aerosmith did a remake with them in the 80's
Yes, absolutely, and the collaborative version they did with Run DMC is what resurrected their career. They overcame a lot of drug use.
That album is sooooooooo underrated! BOC has a shitload of good songs.
When my kids were young and we built sand castles at the beach we always capped things off by singing this as we destroyed the castles we had built
Child of 70s here, loved BOC and Godzilla movies, so I always thought this song was the bomb. On Saturdays, after cartoons, the would show a program called "Creature Feature" and show old monster horror films, esp the Godzilla movies, my sister and I would always sing this when a Godzilla movie came on. Great memory. Thanks for the great reaction.
Great group ... too many great songs, but one that gets overlooked and such a great song is "I love the Night"
It's not that we were more talented back then, it's just that we had far less distractions, so we would focus more on playing an instrument. When I was a kid in the late 70's and early 80's, I would play my bass every chance I got. I would sit and play along with TV commercial jingles. Now everything is constructed inside a computer program. Far fewer kids picking up an instrument and putting in the time and effort to become the next Led Zeppelin.
Well said and perfectly described. My husband played guitar and he said he was so engrossed with practicing that he didn't bother eating until his Mom forced him to.
Hello Chod, really appreciate your past comments about live music showing the real talent. Artists actually performing. With that said, please check out "Telegraph Road" in Sevilla 26.07.2015. This is Mark Knopler (Dire Straits founder, lead guitarist and lead singer) playing his 1982 song LIVE ... What is that, 33 years later. It's absolutely incredible.
These guys are awesome. I would recommend. Veterans of Psychic Wars recorded live in 1981 in Hollywood Florida. Great live band!! I have seen them a number of times and have met some of the members. They have a big library of songs!
Fantastic band, well worth a deep dive. Buck Dharma is the best guitarist this 56 year old headbanger has ever seen play live.
Look for the song Harvester Of Eyes. I first saw BOC in 76 as a fifteen year old. This was the opening song and they’ve been my fav band ever since. The singer was telling his story directly to me.
Amongst the greatest American Rock tunes of all time! Shredding guitar throughout!
Great review! BOC rules! Oh yeah, the musicians from my day 70s-80s, were all great skilled musicians, nothing like the pop of today.
Godzilla came to the King Dome in 83, lights went out and the footsteps kept getting louder, it felt like the Dome was caving in. Unforgettable experience.
Two of my favorites by them are "Burning for You," and "This Ain't the Summer of Love." Check them out.
a banger for sure. you probably didn't notice but in the middle of the song when the instruments quieted down they were singing in Japanese. I used to know what he was saying back in the day... something like "news alert, news alert godzilla is moving into the square..." or something along those lines.
Hey Chod, I feel ALL the Musicians of my time (early 60's to mid 80's)
are all talented, may they rest and rock on in peace !!!
It is amazing that there was so much talent starting around 1964
I saw them with Black Sabbath!
The Black and Blue concert at Lebanon Yalley speedway in NY in the 80s!
Wow what a show!!!
And what a mess it was unbelievable!
People were jumping over the fence with quarter cags it was a riot!!!
🤪🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
First and last concert there!!!
That's a good song -- loved it!
As a drummer, I think you would really like The Police.
Can't Stand Losing You, So Lonely, Message in a Bottle...
Cities on Flame with Rock & Roll
Don't Fear The Reaper is a very "high quality" song while Godzilla is just plain fun!
They, last year, did a lockdown version..
In the 60s and 70s in the UK we had 3 TV channels, we had no computers let alone the internet, we had time on our hands. We actually spent time listening to the radio not just using it as background to other activities. We had cinema but as an occasional event, not an instant download on demand. Music, whether listening to it or learning to play it was a massive teenage outlet. A lot of teenagers experimenting led to a lot of innovative ‘garage’ bands and consequently a proportional amount of excellent signed bands for which there was a huge market in sales. Music really came in two forms which related to the vinyl options. The 45rpm single that gave the quick 3min hit and drove the radio play and the 30rpm LP that was a 22min cycle where you set aside specific time to listen. You also had to listen to it in the order that the artists recorded it as getting up to lift the needle and skip a track was such a ball ache that even if you were less keen on a track you let it play. There were compilation albums of greatest hits but not until the advent of the cassette tapes could you start being selective about a playlist and put your favourite tracks together. It was a whole different world but we were blessed with a plethora of amazing bands and a huge range of styles even in pop music. Now kids are seduced by so many more distractions, particularly gaming so there is a smaller proportion focusing on music. Also whilst I think that that quality and variety probably still exists, it just doesn’t get the airtime on mainstream media that it used to back then because yet again it it up against more competition particularly from reality shows and celebrity culture. Now in the background there is so much digital analysis and algorithms working out what ‘most people’ like and driving mainstream output to the mundane and vanilla for maximum profit. Seems so much more difficult for originality to come to the surface. Bizarrely the existence of so many more potential outlets and platforms for creativity than we had back then, produces such a ridiculous amount of content, most of which is dire, meaning that once it has been filtered and sorted by algorithms, the oddball, innovative creativity of all those amazing bands,is so often buried.
Maybe that’s why you and so many others are looking back and discovering that rich vein of musical creativity from the 60s 70s and 80s ( the pre digital era) and finding it so interesting and engaging. I am forever thankful that I got to experience it first hand but am also loving the reprise of youth and the joy of discovery that your and other music reactor channels brings.
BÖC-I Love The Night, is a great vampire love story. One of my favorite BÖC songs. Highly recommend.
You've got to check out City's On Flame. It was their first song on the radio. I really like your reactions.
This was my first concert in high school 1981 Cape Cod Coliseum which no longer stands..This was their closing song
The Guitar Riffs in this tune are so so sweet. Thanks Buck
The time was something of a golden age. Rock and roll was created in the 50s. The 60s through the early 80s was when the new music expanded and exploded. Together with the huge cultural struggles and changes, the new music inspired the culture and the culture inspired the music. It was kind of like the golden age for jazz from the 30s to the 50s. So many brilliant artists who were inspired by the new music and the cultural challenges like the Great Depression, WW II and beginnings of the changes of the place of women and POC in society cross pollinated in a similar way.
Another song I thought I never heard before, but I have. Burnin' For You is one I do know and haven't heard it in forever.
Yeah.... we took all that talent for granted back then. To us it was normal having tons of bands and talented musicians. We never thought they would become an endangered species. So.... here we are looking back!
"Veteran of the Psychic Wars" live
I love playing this 1977 song with Black Sabbath's 1969 "Iron Man." They kind of have similar themes of comic book figures serving as commentaries on society. And that "Run-DMC vibe" is because Run-DMC was the first hiphop group to incorporate seventies-style rock into rap, but they didn't do that until the mid-eighties. And Run-DMC didn't originate "Walk This Way"; they were covering the 1976 original by Aerosmith, at that time Aerosmith's trademark song. If you haven't heard the original "Walk This Way" from Aerosmith, you have to. Seventies Aerosmith is so much better than eighties Aerosmith, even though people these days seem to be more familiar with their eighties stuff, for some reason. But really, listen to Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" from 1976.
I think the amount of talent back then was partly due to not having as many distractions and diversions available to us. There was no internet, ( widely available, anyways), no cable tv until the late 70's, early 80's, no cell phones.
We had time to kill, basically.
So that energy got spent on practicing and playing...
Takes me back to elementary school. Love it and it evokes happy memories.
Cities on flame with rock and roll.
I got to see BoC LIVE where I live on 4th of July and this is one of the songs they played. It was epic.
I seen BOC at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, went with my best friend, his wife and his younger brother. His brother was drinking and tried to get us too as well, but we refused, we stuck to weed. His brother passed out in the beginning during the first band, but when BOC came on stage, my friend asked me to wake his brother, and when I did, he threw up on the heads of a couple sitting in front of him, needless to say, the guy wanted to beat the crap out of him, which was understandable, but me and my friend were tough looking fellas, so he and his gal left .... the brother was told to go sleep it off in the vehicle, it was extremely cold, so we decided to leave early afterwards, when we got to the vehicle, his brother was in the driver's seat, hand on the gear shift lever that was attached to the steering column with the engine roaring because he had his foot pressing on the accelerator, it was a disaster about to happen, but thankfully did not .... we never took him to another concert lol
I puked at a Blue Oyster Cult concert too, but it was after they already done playing LoL 🤣 summer daze tour along with foghat,pat travers and Steppenwolf 1997 Memphis TN
This song and Iron Man by Sabbath always remind me of each other. ❤ both!!
City on flame ,with rock n roll its not over till you listen to this
Ooof, those guitar fills...so good.
"Quicklime Girl" "Seven Screaming Diz Busters" "Cities on Flame" and most jams on "Tyranny and Mutation" are BÔC in their weird ass prime...my uncle played them and it was spooky to me as a kid...great live band also!
Seven Screaming Diz Busters is awesome. Especially the live version.
Quicklime Girl is a great tune.. Actually it is titled "Mistress Of the Salmon Salt".. "Teen Archer" and "Baby Ice Dog" are also very cool jams off of the Side 2 of the Tyranny and Mutation LP..
Please react to a song from Blue Oyster Cult's third album Secret Treaties. Career of Evil, Flaming Telepaths, or ME 262 for example.
BÖC and Ice T were going to release a rap version of Godzilla, ala Walk This Way, but the record company balked after “Cop Killer”
musicianship is alive and well. Songwriting/composition, marketing, being able to be played on radio & luck is the hard part for bands.
There are good musicians but no popular music is good anymore.
Godzilla is so badass he got his own song.
It's soooo much fun watching your head bop! So how about bopping to 'Feelin' Alright' by Joe Cocker, 'I've Got The Music In Me' by Kiki Dee (LIVE is mandatory) and 'Low Rider' by War. Time to BOP!
Astronomy, from 'Some Enchanted Evening'. I saw them a few cities after this show, phenomenal BTW, yes, there were a lot of just incredible bands back then. Last one I saw (of hundreds) was U2 - 360 tour, no wait, The Zombies.
My wife and I were at the recording of Astronomy at the Columbus Municipal Auditorium the laser light show before they were forced to discontinue their use was quite a sight back then.
Only these guys could make a song about Godzilla work this well. Hell yeah! Good reaction.
Cool as F man.. nobody else has done Godzilla , great great song.. been hearing since 78 or 79, still hasnt gotten old. Dirty Laundry by Don Henley is one like this.. just classic.
It was fun to see your reaction to an old favorite 😻
Also brand new album called
The Symbol Remains
Excellent
Great jam, Does anyone remember the BLACK AND BLUE TOUR , Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, 1980 I believe. I'd have to look at my old ticket stubs. FELT REAL GOOD, SOUNDED REAL GOOD.
PEACE HIPPIE JOE
First concert my wife and I went to was Blue Oyster Cult opening for Bad Company!
I worked on an expansion of the Honda plant in Florence SC and every time the Japanese bosses would come around I would start singing the chorus of this song. "Oh no, there goes Tokyo go, go Godzilla"!!!
Glad you put your toes in to the lake of Öysters, just watched ME 262 and my first thought was a relief it wasn't Godzilla or Dont fear...
hmm, i may have dropped a list somewhere with a few tracks on, anyway i f you happen to find it, dont call me - read it ;)
History shows again and again
How nature points out the folly of men
Godzilla
You'll enjoy Burnin' for You as well.
70s and 80s music was the absolute best in my opinion
Early B.O.C. song that's very good is ME 262
Yes we had a ton of talent throughout the 60s and 70s, some 80's Hundreds of musicians that were that good. Try some Grand Funk Railroad, or Crosby Stills and Nash, or Emerson Lake and Palmer , Cream, Glen Campbell, Willie Nelson, Doobie Brothers.
Had the opportunity in 1980 to go too the black and blue concert Molly Hatchet headlining Blue Oyster Cult and then Black Sabbath. Oh yeah.
That was the year I seen Pink Floyd's The Wall.
Did I mention Chicago, Moody Blues? Yeah there were hundreds and they were that good.
🤠🐂🏞️🛩️
Agents of Fortune is another one of BOC'S real good songs!
Another great tune from this album, Nosferatu.
I always feel that every Halloween the last track on this album is a must listen to.
The drummer from BOC is way underrated.
Needed more cowbell !!!!@
I used to throw this song on every day. It has great energy, it's so catchy and unique.
They were a big part of My teen years
Lots of cool guitars
Great Vocals
A great 70's band band for sure
Oh no, there goes Tokyo... have you checked out YES? Anything by Yes. Also, a trio from Texas called Kings X - Over My Head
Because bands back then toured relentlesly. When your on stage playing almost every night for years, you get tight af. And there was plenty opportunity to play back then. Every highschool backyard party had a band. Rock clubs were everywhere. Its a ghosttown today for live music unless your in Austin or Memphis.
Chod, listen to an example of 1970s prog-rock, the group Renaissance with their magnum opus "Ashes Are Burning" This is a long one, 11:12 but worth reacting to. You'll be impressed with their musical skills and Annie Haslam's voice. Thanks!
You know you've made it as a monster when a rock band sings your praises. Anybody ever do a song about King Kong? I don't think so.
Watch the original Godzilla movie, this will play in your head the whole time
And let us not forget Gorgonzola, the Cheese Monster (re: Ye Firesign Theatre and/or their Japanese alter egos The Four or Five Cra-Zee Guys, 19??).
Hey Chod, totally different style band, but if you want to hear an ultimate lead guitar song, I beg you to go back to Chicago, from their 1st album, the song Poem 58. Not a hit song, but might be some of the greatest lead guitar you’ll ever hear. Try it you’ll like it
Also, check BOC: Veteran of the Psychic Wars.
LIVE VERSION especially!
BOC is revered in Japan because of this song….
Finding more gold all the time, sir!
Buck Dharma, lead guitarist. Still jamming today!
BOC is an incredible band
Never miss a BOC show
Please check out Dominance and Submission
Cities on Flame
Burning for You
Yeah, I agree,prefer this to Reaper. Burnin for you is really good too. You should check out the Aerosmith version of Walk This Way, the original
“Veterans of Psychic Wars” should be your next review!
This is the reason why old school music stands the test of time . Today's music doesn't .
We remember the popular culture of eras past so fondly because, mercifully, we don’t remember that much of it. Current music will sound better when we’ve forgotten the dross.
The Great Buck Dharma! Most underrated guitarist of all time.
