      @@nikomiyozo8671 I share some of your sentiment but the Queen movie sucked. Really, just try to think of any movie that was a dramatized account of a band that was any good. I can't. The Dirt was sort of cool but barely. BOC would benefit from a proper documentary like The Walkers suggested. They've earned eternal accolades and respect among discerning rock n roll fans. A half-assed attempt at drama would not serve them well but they'l never allow it anyways so we're cool.

    A band from the time back when seeing a band in concert was just that, seeing the band in concert, not performance art, no sampling, remixing, and autotune. This was rock and roll when what you heard on the album was what you heard in concert but live. With the variations and mistakes that come with it.

    The laser light shows that BOC put on with their live shows back in the day were absolutely insane. One show, I went with a friend but he decided to sit up in the stands, while I was down in the pit. Of course, people were toking down there too, so there was some smoke, perfect for the laser show. With the music, laser lights, smoke, and gyrating bodies, my friend said the pit looked like the damned in hell. Perfect!

    I used to put the symbol everywhere as well. I remember when the band was breaking big in 1977 and came to Potsdam, NY to play at Clarkson College, in the tiny little Walker arena which seated about 2500. The youngest Bouchard brother lived in my dorm, and the Rythym section Bouchards were from right up the road in Watertown NY. BOC brought their entire big MSG sized lighting rig and sound show, lasers in the eyes, Eric with the Laser machine gun, etc...it was awesome. Being a Long Island guy I was already into them, but they had their origins first in Potsdam the decade before as Clarkson students. Total fan from that day on. Great hard and smart Rock and Roll. The first 3 Albums were my favorites, Agents and Spectres followed and sold big and were very good. I miss the 70s. In a way, the "Cowbell" sketch gave them a little notoriety and new life but for me, BOC takes a back seat to no one. Thanks, Guys !!!! Hope to see more quarantine vids here.

      Eminem has a song called Godzilla? I thought the original comment was throwing shade at the Bear Mccreary/Serj Tankien cover at first which I think is also good.

Always loved the cult, got all your stuff - I dont even blame you for blowing out Motorhead in '75. If you ever cross the pond, you have one hell of a devoted fan waiting for you.

    I bought their record cultosaurus erectus when I was 15 (1979) just because I liked the album cover. I was hooked after listening to them. I made my own BOC t-shirts in highschool. When I was 17 I had a 1957 landrover 99 series 1 and I painted the BOC icon on the hood. A year later I had Jeep and was in Edmonton when it broke down. I had to stay a week waiting for parts. I stopped at a record store and found BOC secret treaties on cassette. A rare find. I bought it. The clerk asked me if was going to the concert. I said what concert. He answers the BOC concert. I said when is that. He answers, tonight. HELL YES I replied. So I got to see BOC live with Aldo Nova opening. The drummer threw a broken stick into the audience and it hit my just left of my eye. Some twat grabbed it but I got the wound. I wish I had that stick. I still have the ticket. I've seen them twice since then.

BÖC still has the juice 50 years on - incredible. The mindset and determination to keep a band thriving for that long is truly formidable. This Godzilla won the lockdown.

    I will be a BOC fan for life. I believe it was in the mid to late 80s that they played in Rockford Illinois at the Metro Centre. My buddy Mike had a motorcycle accident while serving in the Airforce and broke his back paralyzing him from the waist down. He bought tickets to that show and they upsold him on front row handicapped seating. Well, there were two opening acts that day and we got there halfway through the first band. I believe it was Tesla, but I saw so many shows back then I could be mistaken on that. Aldo Nova was up second and when he started playing, the whole first ten rows stood up and moved right in front of the stage. Mike couldn't see a thing. Now tell me, what's the good of upselling someone front row tickets and they can't see the show. If he just wanted to hear them he could have played their records. The way they set up that seating was to put me at the end of the front row and him right next to me. Now I could stand up with all of the other people, but Mike couldn't. It angered me to no end when Centre officials wouldn't do anything about it after I complained to anyone that would listen. Finally, I walked over the security guy at the backstage entrance and asked if when BOC came on if Mike could slide right behind the security wall between the stage and the fans. He said he couldn't do that but would ask the band if that would be ok because Mike was either stuck not seeing the show the way he paid to see it or go all the way to the back of the building to the other handicapped section. He came back a few minutes later and said, "they said that would be fine but when the bass player comes over and nods at him, tell him to duck out of the way because some pyrotechnics were going to go off right where he would be sitting". I hadn't told Mike what I was doing or the plan until the lights went down for Blue Oyster Cult to take the stage and I said to Mike, come on let's go. He was like, "but the band is starting" and, I'm like "you can't see them anyway" come on. Well, I got him back behind that wall and his smile never left his face for three days after that. When the bass player gave Mike the nod, he pulled himself out of the way and that flash pod brightened him up so much he was almost "angelical" looking......lol.....And I'm an Atheist......lol
    Well, Mike has long since passed and this is one of my favorite memories of a lost brother from another mother.
    I will always be a fan of Blue Oyster Cult They are not just great musicians, but they are great people.
