I’m 16 and I managed to find Blue Öyster Cult through the tv show Supernatural. When I heard Don’t Fear The Reaper, I fell in love. And now I listen to them! Love their music 💗☮️🎸✨
There is sooooo much more to BOC than just Don't Fear The Reaper, Godzilla, and Burning for You. Blue Oyster Cult put out their first album in 1972. They had 3 really fantastic studio albums and one live album before they recorded the Reaper, but they were ignored by radio until the Reaper for the most part despite selling out arenas. Blue Oyster Cult, Tyranny and Mutation, and Secret Treaties will blow your mind and rock your ass off. Great vintage kick ass rock and roll from a wonderful and unique band!
I bought Agents of Fortune in the 90s from Columbia House because of Reaper. Its a pretty good album. From that I didn't really know any other songs of theirs besides Cities on Flame and Godzilla. I recently started listening to their discovery and listened to Burnin, I always thought it was someone elses song. Fire of Unknown Origin and Cultosauras IMO are their best albums. Not a bad record between 72 -81
You can hear Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser's best singing and guitar playing in a song from their 1980 release called "Perfect Water" off of their "Club Ninja" album. I saw them play most of the songs on this album along with their other greatest hits in Darmstadt Germany in August of 1981. One of the best concerts I ever went to. I was in the Army at the time stationed in Bad Hersfeld 3/11 Armored Calvary Regiment.
Thanks brother J for taking interest in “keeping great music alive”. Because you’re helping us stay “alive” as we relive our youth even for a few minutes and enjoy listening to it all over again along with you. Peace !!!
There are some awesome bands these days you just haven't heard of them. Here are a few for you: Lovebites out of Japan, The Warning out of Mexico, Motion Device out of Canada, Liliac from California. Rock in the hands of these bands only tells me one thing, rock will never die.
I attended their concert in the mid70s and it was one of the best concerts ever. It was in a building whose acoustics were built for a symphony orchestra. They actually performed for 3 hours. AMAZING.
You weren't born too late. WE, the Aging Disciples of the Old School, need YOU and other recent converts like you to move this ageless music forward and keep it alive for your own grandchildren!
Maybe we can inspire a resurgence of new artists writing new material using a real band and recording real performances! As much as I love the music from that era, I'd be even happier to see new artists embrace the values it represented.
@@halofour01 Check out The Mona Lisa Twins. They are GREAT! They blow all the so-called "singers" of today with their disgusting dances, ridiculous posses and outlandish clothing out of the WATER. These girls are truly talented.

@@CavemanJesus4Life I was thinking the guitar sounds kind of like a Heart song I can't quite place. But knowing he's already done Thin Lizzie, you're probably right.
"Time to play B sides" is a reference to the era when we bought 45RPM records and played the hits (A side) over and over. When we got bored we'd play the B sides :) :) :)
"Time everlasting, time to play B-sides" one of my all time FAVORITE lyrics, EVER! You SO get it! Meeting you is on my #BucketList. You give old people like me hope.
Blue Öyster Cult has to be one of the most underrated bands of all time. If you enjoy this keep digging. I recommend Joan Crawford or Flaming Telepaths.
April Wine for sure, gotta try some of their hits out! Roller, Sign Of The Gypsy Queen, Ooowatanite, I Like To Rock, Before The Dawn! Vastly underrated Canadian band.
My first April Wine concert was in Kamloops, BC in 73. They were just warming up. I remember Elton John talking about his favorite songs to listen to and April Wine's cover of his B side, Bad Side of the Moon was way up on the list. That's got to be a cool compliment.
I love hanging out after work, watching RUclips, and seeing a notification that Jamel just reacted to an awesome song. Honestly makes my after-work relaxing time that much better. Love this track.
excellent vod! :D thanks man, blue oyster cult is a solid group, lot's of great songs like others have mentioned: astronomy, black blade, cities on flame with rock and roll, marshall plan, etc.
Blue Oyster Cult came out of New York City in the early 70s. They do a wicked live version of the Doors song Roadhouse Blues on that double album that burning for you is on.
Saw them in 2018 at Alice Cooper’s Hasty Pudding Concert Fundraiser. THEY WERE FANTASTIC LIVE !!!! Back in their beginning, they auditioned for Alice Cooper.
1982, I believe. Oregon Jam at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon. Loverboy. Joan Jett. Foreigner. And BLUE OYSTER CULT! All day long in the hot sun in a football stadium. And there seemed to be some smoky substance in the air - all day long...
Other BÖC gems:"Wings Wetted Down","ME 262","Career of Evil","Unknown Tongue","Then Came The Last Days of May","Divine Wind","Joan Crawford","I Am The Storm","Take Me Away",and my personal favorite version of "Kick Out the Jams" all await you.
Chances are, the band you're thinking of stole FROM BOC! They're are severely underrated and have been around since 1970! My favorite band of all time!!!!!
Buck Dharma, is the MAN. One of the best guitarrist of all time, pure feeling not that speed nonsense. You can check a Hear 'n Aid video of Ronnie James Dio called "Stars" were he sings with a bunch of 80s guitarrist including Buck Dharma, this guy Owns the game, He plays simple but effective like David Gilmour.
I first had the pleasure of seeing Don "Buck Dharma" Roeser in July 1968 when the band was known as Soft White Underbelly. They became Blue Öyster Cult in 1972. This album "Fire of Unknown Origin" came out 39 years ago yesterday. I have had the further privilege of speaking with him a few times over the years. Mr Roeser is a sweetheart and gentleman, who gives you his undivided attention.
These guys were always deep and dark . One of their albums has a photo of an ME 62 the first jet built by the Nazis . They have songs about dominance and submission ....they were something else
Thats why most of us, why there are so many "classic" radio stations" and we want to listen to our music! Its such a joy to see younger people enjoy it! Thank you for what you do!
Some you should do next if you're enjoying them: "Astronomy", Live 1976: A metaphysical and arcane track with two killer guitar solos and keyboard. "Veteran of Psychic Wars": a sci fi track written by sci fi/fantasy writer Michael Moorcock. "Take me away" (music video): Endearingly cheesy, but also fantastic. "Harvest Moon": it tells a story, no spoilers. "Les Invisibles": voodoo, secret history and psychedelia.
I am so glad I grew up in the 70's and 80's. I was born in the 60's but I was too young then to remember much. We were able to experience revolutions in music, in society and so many signs of strength the young kids nowadays might try and duplicate but don't have the drive to really knock down some walls. I think us older people are stronger because of what we saw, heard and, experienced.
We yelled "don't block the reefer (colloquially known as bogarding)" at the greedy or half passed out - ones.... different school system here but between 15 and 19 years of age.
This song is about the band themselves what they go through out on the road, and what they feel about what they're doing... I'm burnin for you! Blue Oyster cult has consistently been one of the most badass and hardest-working rock bands in the business since the beginning!! They are truly Hardened Road Warriors! ✝️🎼🤘
This one and Don’t Fear The Reaper have been in countless shows and movies. There are still great musicians with great music today, but it’s not as readily available as it once was. You have to seek it out unfortunately.
Blue Oyster Cult's discography is simply amazing. I'm particularly fond of the entire 'Heaven Forbid' album, which sadly isn't available on any streaming platform (excluding RUclips uploads of course) due to weird copyright issues. A few songs to suggest from them: Astronomy, Before the Kiss A Redcap, The Marshall Plan, Dancing in the Ruins, Harvest Moon (one of my favorite songs :^) ).
Let me throw out a bit of a strange one I haven't seen mentioned yet -- *'Flaming Telepaths'.* Or, if you want something _really_ strange, *'Joan Crawford'.*
Says 1981 online. Before my time but my parents listened to this regularly. One born in 63 and the other 67, so I'm glad when I see other people know this music.
I’ve got a couple from ‘75 for ya, Jamel - Fooled Around and Fell in Love” (album version) by Elvin Bishop and “I’m Not in Love” by 10cc. Great year for rock music. Love ya, man!
A favorite band and totally underrated! You could just about pick anything they've done. Veteran of the Psychic Wars, Cities on Flame, ETI, ME262, Astronomy, The Vigil, Then Came The Last Days of May, The Golden Age of Leather, Shadow of California....
It was 1978. I was age 19. Living in Tampa on 40th Street near the Hillsborough River, I had a hiking habit. Then as now. Making my way along nearby Hannah Avenue, I saw a ticket stub. Or so I thought. It was an actual full ticket to the BOC concert in Lakeland the following weekend! I’m crazy, and I’m magic.:)
Seen them twice....once in '86 and once in '96. In the 70's Rush opened up for them ; In the 80's BOC opened up for Rush. By the 90's you could see these guys as relatively small venues like fairs and multiple act concerts. They made some fabulous music in the 90's that's overlooked.....and I mean fabulous. One of the insanely rare examples of a band that made great music later in their life that rivaled or came close to rivaling their earlier stuff. .
Hard to believe this songs been out almost 40 years. The late seventies and early eighties was a great time for hard rock. Listening to Riot on vinyl so far today.
Used to follow these guys around the Tri State back in the day. Saw them Live around 50 times. A Great Live band! Check out Dancin In The Ruins . It is the sequel to this song.
@@laurakali6522 Yes great memories! I moved from NYC to Az in '04 and I've seen them several times out here including last summer. Still holdin it down.
“I’d just rather listen to this than the music that’s out today.” Amen, brother. I’m so glad I grew up in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. I was in college when this dropped. At the time we viewed it as somewhat of a throwback…the first classic rock song, if you will…as BOC hadn’t caved into synthesizers like so many bands in the ‘80s did. Keep up the great work, my man. Love your channel.
Hey Jamel, Since you're doing Blue Oyster Cult, try the band called The Cult. Two songs to try are, She Sells Sanctuary and Love Removal Machine. Love what you're doing! Keep on keepin' on.
This is one of the most UNDERRATED bands of all time.
Man what you aaid!!!!
They are THE most underrated band of all time
@@Nickr3000 The most underrated band in the world is one that has sold 24 million records worldwide? That really makes a lot of sense doesn't it?

Brother....what you said!!!
ME262
Stalk-Forrest Group
One of the most underrated bands of their time. Astronomy is another great song. Godzilla is fantastic too. Try them both.
Jamel's just done Godzilla...
Buck Dharma, one of the best guitar players out there.
Godzilla yes, but the live version from the early 80's.
Mr. 2cents. I saw them live a couple of times in the early 90’s. Great shows both times.
James Hilton Subhuman too 👍🏻

One other thing that album is from 1980
Salvador Saucedo Yes, I know when it came out😊. I’ll give the ones you suggested a try, thanks. Always open to new stuff.
The 60's to the 80"s best music
"Veterans Of The Psychic Wars", please! And if you've time, the entire original Heavy Metal movie soundtrack.
There are a TON of great songs on that soundtrack!
I second this one. Great tune from the Heavy Metal movie.
The first of the two Elric songs. Blackblade is a hell of a chaser for this.
Second Veteran of the Psychic Wars!
YES!!!
I attended their concert in the mid70s and it was one of the best concerts ever. It was in a building whose acoustics were built for a symphony orchestra. They actually performed for 3 hours. AMAZING.

I was digging on this song back in High School, ‘82-‘85
Me too!
We must have gone to different high schools together !
Good to see you again, Gabe!!
I was listening to it in 78 when I was in high school
Played this song often while playing Galaga at a local Godfathers Pizza in the mid eighties. Good times and a great song!

Wondrous stories, Time and a Word, South Side of the Sky.
BOC started 1967 till present this album 1981,,,,,I had a 69 RT charger an a 19 yr old nympho gf those were the days
The song you've heard that sounds like this song is probably this song.
Durand Compton its Caesars you jackass
STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON!!! Sorry, couldn't resist.
The BOC riff reminds me of "And We Danced" by The Hooters.

Took me forever to figure out what B-side meant. xD
@@SakuraAvalon Something us "old people" loved dearly. Be well Young One.
A very underrated band. This song itself helped inspire me to learn guitar- that was 31 years ago. Still love this music, and still playing.
In the seventies these guys were one of the few bands that sounded better live than they did in the studio.. Top notch musicians.
One of my all time favorites.
Blue Öyster Cult has to be one of the most underrated bands of all time. If you enjoy this keep digging. I recommend Joan Crawford or Flaming Telepaths.

APRIL WINE!
"Waiting On A Miracle" too.

MrHunterbuchanan same here
This always comes to my mind during Lock down. 'Time to play B sides...' Time to do all the things you probably never thought you'd get around to.
"Dnt Fear the Reaper" was 1976, "Burnin' for You" was 1981
o
I know of the year because I was born then ❤ this song
I'm a huge B.O.C. fan and this came off my favorite album of theirs during my high school years.
"Veterans Of The Psychic Wars", please! yes music was the real deal back in the day! :)
And sole survivor
How about the whole heavy metal movie soundtrack
"Nosferatu" and "Fire of Unknown Origin".
Yeah but ETI live version
How can I friend you on Facebook?
excellent vod! :D thanks man, blue oyster cult is a solid group, lot's of great songs like others have mentioned: astronomy, black blade, cities on flame with rock and roll, marshall plan, etc.
This whole album, Fire of Unknown Origin, is one of my favorites from them.
Fantastic album from beginning to end.....or front to back (old school)
Love the album art too
Check out "Joan Crawford", one of my personal faves, as always, amazing lyrics, and incredible arrangements and musicianship.
React to "Driver's Seat" de Sniff n' Tears. It's an excellent song!
Now you know what good rock music sounds like. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this great rock band I highly appreciate it.
Blue Oyster Cult came out of New York City in the early 70s. They do a wicked live version of the Doors song Roadhouse Blues on
that double album that burning for you is on.
Long Island to be exact.
I also love their cover of kick out the Jams. great pump up song
BÖC is my favorite american rock band ever and burnin' for you and dancin' in the ruins are my two favorite songs. Amazing Band, maybe, the best.
I can't listen to this song without thinking of the movie Joe Dirt
Yes!
I've loved the Blue for many years. Theank yu Jamal
Saw them in 2018 at Alice Cooper’s Hasty Pudding Concert Fundraiser. THEY WERE FANTASTIC LIVE !!!! Back in their beginning, they auditioned for Alice Cooper.
This......is classic rock. I saw them in 1975 and again in 2015 . The 70's were the best of times.
1982, I believe. Oregon Jam at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon. Loverboy. Joan Jett. Foreigner. And BLUE OYSTER CULT! All day long in the hot sun in a football stadium. And there seemed to be some smoky substance in the air - all day long...
Saw them with Black Sabbath,,,,the Black and Blue Tour 🔥🔥🔥😎
Other BÖC gems:"Wings Wetted Down","ME 262","Career of Evil","Unknown Tongue","Then Came The Last Days of May","Divine Wind","Joan Crawford","I Am The Storm","Take Me Away",and my personal favorite version of "Kick Out the Jams" all await you.
I forgot how iconic the lead guitar is in this song. Produced by the great Martin Birch should be noted as well.

I saw them live at BB King years ago when they were already old, they crushed it the whole night. So glad you took us up on more from them!
I saw them last year and they freaking crushed it!
One of the best things that happened in 2020, was a great new BOC album!!
These guys were always deep and dark . One of their albums has a photo of an ME 62 the first jet built by the Nazis . They have songs about dominance and submission ....they were something else
I saw them in 1982 in Rochester NY. Got right up to the stage. Amazing concert. One of the best I've ever been to.
This is a great song. Tremendous melodic playing throughout and very witty lyrics, a hallmark of the band. Very glad you enjoy it.
"very witty lyrics"? Huh?
Jeff A. Taylor Pretty good for some guys from LI.
Thats why most of us, why there are so many "classic" radio stations" and we want to listen to our music! Its such a joy to see younger people enjoy it! Thank you for what you do!
Some you should do next if you're enjoying them:
"Astronomy", Live 1976: A metaphysical and arcane track with two killer guitar solos and keyboard.
"Veteran of Psychic Wars": a sci fi track written by sci fi/fantasy writer Michael Moorcock.
"Take me away" (music video): Endearingly cheesy, but also fantastic.
"Harvest Moon": it tells a story, no spoilers.
"Les Invisibles": voodoo, secret history and psychedelia.
I would also add The Revenge of Vera Gemini and Black Blade
"Black Blade" is another written with Michael Moorcock that I love personly.
@@robertmcdaris7591 My favorite author.
@@hexenwulfen I have one the Elric Saga books signed by him. It is something that I treasure.

ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME
"I Love The Night" is their best song.
I am so glad I grew up in the 70's and 80's. I was born in the 60's but I was too young then to remember much.

In high school we would sing along " Don't fear the reefer".

Amazon has the whole catalog. Got this on special edition vinyl. My top album of all time.
Love watching you ‘get’ the lyrics as you read along. You’re awesome.
If you're still up for more Blue Oyster Cult, my favorite song of theirs is "Veteran of the Psychic Wars."

Jamal- I swear you must be an old soul- glad to see you reacting to music that occurred before you were aware.
'Buck's Boogie' from the live LP ('On your Feet, On Your Knees') is one of the best live jams.
Man, I love this band!
Later listen the "After Dark" song from that album. It's pure dinamite!
Greetings from Mexico City! 🇲🇽
One of my all time, feel good favorite songs!
We gotta get you listening to some Golden Earring, both "Radar Love" and "Twilight Zone." Both rockin' classics!
Twilight Zone is mandatory listening!
I got to see them live twice in the late 70s or early 80s. Great live band
They put out soooo much great music in the 70's...my favorite album was Secret Treaties!
"Dominance/Submission"
I prefer Tyranny And Mutation but honestly anything from their first 3 is close!
I've always LOVED this song. Thanks so much, great memories from high school!
I’ve got a couple from ‘75 for ya, Jamel - Fooled Around and Fell in Love” (album version) by Elvin Bishop and “I’m Not in Love” by 10cc. Great year for rock music. Love ya, man!

A favorite band and totally underrated! You could just about pick anything they've done. Veteran of the Psychic Wars, Cities on Flame, ETI, ME262, Astronomy, The Vigil, Then Came The Last Days of May, The Golden Age of Leather, Shadow of California....
Yesssss, “Veteran of the Psychic Wars”!
It was 1978. I was age 19. Living in Tampa on 40th Street near the Hillsborough River, I had a hiking habit. Then as now.
Making my way along nearby Hannah Avenue, I saw a ticket stub. Or so I thought. It was an actual full ticket to the BOC concert in Lakeland the following weekend!
I’m crazy, and I’m magic.:)
This should have been a major hit for them,but just came at a bad time for rock music as far as charting went. The hook at the chorus is stellar.
Seen them twice....once in '86 and once in '96. In the 70's Rush opened up for them ; In the 80's BOC opened up for Rush.
By the 90's you could see these guys as relatively small venues like fairs and multiple act concerts. They made some fabulous music in the 90's that's overlooked.....and I mean fabulous. One of the insanely rare examples of a band that made great music later in their life that rivaled or came close to rivaling their earlier stuff.
.
"Hot Rails to Hell" is one of their early songs. It has a raw edge to it that is hard to find any more.
Hard to believe this songs been out almost 40 years. The late seventies and early eighties was a great time for hard rock. Listening to Riot on vinyl so far today.
Used to follow these guys around the Tri State back in the day. Saw them Live around 50 times. A Great Live band! Check out Dancin In The Ruins . It is the sequel to this song.
stretchgilbert them and Foghat....I’m in CT and saw them many times...
@@laurakali6522 Yes great memories! I moved from NYC to Az in '04 and I've seen them several times out here including last summer. Still holdin it down.

1) Dominance and Submission 2) Before the Kiss (A Redcap) 3) I Love the Night
BOC was the bomb! Back when music was REAL!
Jamal...STeve Miller Band's "Abracadabra" "Swingtown" "Jungle Love" and Rock 'N Me" are Amazing! Plus so much more...Great Band!
Thanks.
Definitely needs to hit up some Steve Miller
Steve Miller Band is excellent
Abracadabra sucks.
How about The Joker if your doing Steve Miller Band? I agree with the rest of the choices, except for Abracadabra.
@@doby1buddy2 Yeah, Abracadabra sucks...it was only #1 on the U.S. Hot 100 in 1982.
I love this band Jimi Hendrix was into science fiction and there you have it he basically invented everything modern music
FOGHAT - SLOW RIDE (LIVE 1977)
“I’d just rather listen to this than the music that’s out today.” Amen, brother. I’m so glad I grew up in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. I was in college when this dropped. At the time we viewed it as somewhat of a throwback…the first classic rock song, if you will…as BOC hadn’t caved into synthesizers like so many bands in the ‘80s did. Keep up the great work, my man. Love your channel.
Hey Jamel, Since you're doing Blue Oyster Cult, try the band called The Cult. Two songs to try are, She Sells Sanctuary and Love Removal Machine. Love what you're doing! Keep on keepin' on.
Gotta add one more classic song to that request. Aphrodisiac jacket
Fire Woman!
The Witch is another good one from The Cult
@@omicron2018 Live!
Also Rain
"Veterans Of The Psychic Wars", "Flaming Telepaths", "Astronomy", "Golden Age of Leather" - you'll LOVE those songs.
"I'd just rather listen to this than the music today". Welcome to the death of art.
