End of Every Song- Buck Dharma 

Suddenly I just came to the realization that rock and roll is fading away with the loss of each of these great musicians. What a great age to have lived in.

Such a good song.. May all those who passed rest in peace. My mother died on July 10, 2024... a few days before this song came out. She passed away at home listening to Blue Oyster Cult on repeat, with family around her. Thank you. This song hit home so much, it means so much to my family. She'd been listening since the 70's when she was a teen, and BOC has been in my family forever. Mom named me Adele Rios just like from Del Rio's Song. At the end she couldn't even talk from the cancer weakened state, but she could mouth the lyrics to BOC. The kronos and "Dont Fear The Reaper" are on her headstone. I've been to dozens of concerts, including Reno on July 5th because mom told us we couldn't miss that show even if she was going to pass soon. Mom I love you, I know you're listening ♥ Thank you Buck.

Buck Dharma is one of the greatest guitar players that a lot of people never listened to. I have met Buck many times and has always very cordial. His wife Sandy is one of nicest ladies I have ever met. It has been quite a ride since 5 I have seen 76 BOC concerts and not seen a bad one. "On Tour Forever."

The world is a better place because we have been blessed with more than 50 years of Buck's music. Beautiful video. Wonderful song. Thank you!

I’m sitting here watching and listening and tears flow. What a beautiful human being! Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser! What a beautiful video! Thanks Buck❤️🙏🏻

This song is classic Buck Dharma, one of the most iconic guitarists, songwriters, vocalists, and talented human beings to ever grace this planet! I love everything about this song, including the vocals and guitars which are absolutely perfect! To say that Buck is iconic would be an understatement! 🙂❤️🎸🎤🎶

Great song! Marvellous work Buck!

Buck’s guitar is like smooth whiskey

Fantastic song, the guitars are just perfect. Albert Bouchard on drums!

Great song! Thank you for all the years of touring and playing. Please keep touring...On Tour Forever ❤❤❤

Thank you, Buck. Your music has brought me a lot of joy over the years, and I'm not the only one.

Thanks for everything you've done. I turned my mom on to BÖC when I was a teenager. Turned my son on to you when he was around 5 years old. He turned my granddaughter on to you when she was about that age. When you played at the Harvester in Rock Mount VA in September of '21, you had 4 generations in the second row.

Oh boy. What a song. Sometime in middle school I heard Cities on Flame. Later it was Don't Fear the Reaper. But BOC got its hooks in me with Godzilla, Golden Age of Leather, I Love the Night and Nosferatu, all from Spectres. From the old gravel pit party spots, to the fast food parking lots Blue Oyster Cult was always spinning. Then the 1980 Black and Blue show in Largo, MD solidified my fandom. So many tunes and concerts and up to The Symbol Remains, it's been incredible. Thanks, Buck. You've helped create The Soundtrack to My Life.

Thank you, Mr. Roeser. as Yogi Berra said “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.” God bless.

Oh my God! This is AMAZING! Buck you've really outdone yourself with this wonderful, thoughtful and so very reflective song...a masterpiece from the master! Love you brother! RedhouseRocker

Awesome! Buck is the most underrated guitarist of them all. Keep rockin', Buck! 👍🙂❤️

I've been a fan since the beginning, Buck. So glad you wrote the music you wrote, and played with such intellectual lines and wonderful style. Still at it, I see, and I am grateful you are part of this project. Cheers!

Beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes. Thanks, Buck.

Sam... Melne and Bolle... so many familiar faces. 🐮🔔 🐦💕

Buck's talent has made my ears happy for over 50 years!

Buck, your mysterious magic never ceases to amaze and transcends this earthly realm. A touching ode of nostalgia yet poignantly current. Never stop gifting the world of your precious talents.

It's always great to hear something new from Buck Dharma. Sadness mixed with beauty.

Thanks For Everything, Thanks for being with me through your music ... all through the journey of my life !

Great song Buck, thank you so much for all the years of awesome music..

What a great song, but it hits hard. Really hard. Thank you Buck, and so many others, for the memories.

Buck, It is with pride and pleasure to have met you at 2 shows of the many I have attended. You always took the time to speak, I appreciate that. Very much. My Son is a month away from turning 18, and has been a fan of your work since his days in his car seat, singing along the best he could. I wish I had Video of it to share with you. This song and video gave me chills. Thank you Sir. You are inspiring. ps.- Mrs. Roesur is beautiful. Howard

Bucks music has always touched me and continues to.

Beautiful. I found my funeral song.

Is this goodbye? Thank you for everything. Your music is an important part of my youth and more....

Beautiful and sad at the same time 😢 Thank you for all the great music and the opportunity to meet you & Eric Bloom. Thank you Danny. ❤❤❤Carol & Ray

Buck proves once again in this song what a great musician he is!

This is absolutely awesome! Buck’s guitar sound is so unique. Love the delay in there. What an immense talent! Fantastic Buck!

A great song Mr Roeser. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that BOC and you have done over the years.

Nice to see great pics of Sam, Bolle, that we miss a lot, great tune, masterwork as all Buck pieces.

Nice to see a cameo of BOCFAN Bob and Che. There was a marquee of the Aladdin Hotel and Casino at the Performing Arts Center (long gone now) in Las Vegas of Frankie Valli, Blue Öyster Cult and Black Oak Arkansas. That was from Nov. of 1977 and I was at that show! Never forget that one as they had the lasers that night

You should make a 2nd solo album, you've got the means given the quality of the end of every song. It would be too sad for us fans that you. Stop now! We love you Buck! ❤

Nice tribute to band members past and present, roadies, techs, rock clubs, etc. Keep rocking, don't stop until you can't do it anymore!

This is terrific, Buck. "Dregs" was new to me but speaks right to my heart. I was lucky enough to catch BOC (along with Aldo Nova and Accept) back in March of 1984 at the Fox in Atlanta. What a f**king great show! At one point, we were up in the balcony smoking a robusto-sized doobie, and Buck is just laying down a blistering solo in the spotlight. Then he flips his SG guitar over and the back is covered with a mirror and he catches the spotlight and reflects it back into the crowd like a laser beam. He's painting the crowd with the spotlight while still managing to keep the solo going. BOC was just explosive! Their early records are still some of the finest slabs of rock and roll ever recorded. So good to hear from you, Buck!

Buck, thank you for all the years of incredible music. BÖC forever!

Isn't Donald sumthin' folks?...one the most underated guitarist, singer and songwriters of our time! From when i first bought B.O.C.'s first album i was hooked! What a Band! 1ST, TYRANNY AND MUTATION and SECRET TREATIES have got to be the best 3 album start ups ever! Bucks first solo album "FLAT OUT" is phenomenal! Rock on Donald Roeser, Rock on! (p.s. rest in peace ALLEN LANIER)

Hauntingly beautiful and ethereal…this was worth the wait!! Love it Buck and Sandy!!

Dammit. Don’t even know you guys other than listening to all of you since 1976…. And this had me teary eyed. Thanks for the ride, Oyster boys.

So beautiful and moving, as life should be.

Schön, das wir uns vor 40 Jahren kennen- und liebengelernt haben❤...Danke für ALLES Buck & Co.

Very Good.Apocalyptic.Anybody else still got flat out?Great album.

Some great still photos! Awesome! Love the one of you in front of the Stone Pony. Some very emotional photos too. Thanks for sharing Buck.

Just fantastic Buck! TY for the music that has shaped my life from teen to senior!..pls give us a Farewell show/s..❤

Thank you Bucj Thank you Buck..aka Donald. Beautiful song and video montage. I've been on the BOC train since 1975. Man...a lot of people have have been in the band. Will allways revere the classic lineup but have a place in my heart for all the others that have come and gone and are here in the current "2 Oyster Cult" edition. As an old guy certainly get it as I/we lose friends over the years and live goes on. Funny but I get the same vibe from this tune as I do from Peter Gabriel's recent tune "Playing For Time". The wonder of a life that is on back nine for most of us and drawing closer to conclusion. I feel blessed in my own life with many so many things....and also to have been alive and able to experience such an amazing era of music. Now I'll have to try and ID everyone in the video LOL.

A friend of mine sent me this because he knows I like BOC. We're both old boys now who listen to all kinds of music and can naturally relate to this song (I was born in 59, he was 62 I believe).

Your vision of what music can be was so enjoyed through the years! Thank You! 🎸🎶

A lovely song . and a superb version . Well done ,Buck . I haven't heard this since the Spirit's Burning album . Let's hope that it isn't a ,Swan Song .

Great tune. Your versatility is unmatched!

Really cool song. This came out of nowhere- I wasn’t expecting a side, solo project from Buck.

great tune. did i just almost cry?

Always different , instantly recognizable as Buck Dharma

Bucky D we love you bro! Sad to see the lost souls in those pics.

This is great! Buck is a fantastic guitarist, singer, and songwriter!

Beautiful song Buck! Thank you for all the great music.

Been a great ride Buck!

Really love this solo cut! A fine adaptation of the poet too. Beautiful phrasing as he sings it.

Been my favorite since I saw you at Cleveland agora in 1972, and are still one of my favorite bands. I’ve seen Blue Oyster over 40 times.

My first R&R T-Shirt was a BÖC shirt I bought with own money when I was just 12. I’ve been a fan ever since and Buck is in my top five guitar heroes. Flat Out is played quite a bit to this day.

AWESOME! Keep rocking, Buck!

That old picture of Buck reminded me of seeing Blue Öyster Cult at Winterland, and it doesn't seem that long ago. That was a fun band to see. Good times.

Right up there with songs like Shooting Shark. Impeccable and beautiful.

Lovely song and tribute to those lost and still among us. Perfect amount of cowbell, too! (RIP Gene Frankel)

Beautiful, sad song. Thank you, Buck!

Excellent and sad at the same time

Wonderful song. When I first heard the earlier version of it on the Spirits Burning album "The End of All Songs" I was completely knocked out.

God, this is fkn SPECTACULAR!!!!

Whenever I name my top guitarist/writers, Buck is always there. I I don't know what the meaning behind this is but it's poignant and a little haunting, but Buck has always rocked and shocked, and surprised us and moved us. I'm glad after all these years, I finally got to see BÖC twice in the last handful of years. top band, top composers. Legendary but never appreciated enough.

Beautiful work Buck, absolutely loved this! Loved how much space you left in the song, didn't overplay a note! Only masters of your caliber know how to use space in such a masterful way.

First listen- No one in their twenties could have pulled this off. Obviously a personal review given the visuals, but the theme can be easily viewed within the lens of achieving a certain duration of living. I liked the guitar tracking; it sounded thick without being muddy. Interesting that Buck swapped out his "cheeseburger" for a tobacco-burst, but the preference for a headless stock is still present! I'm not sure how I would classify this yet. It had something of a down-tempo melancholy chill to it (which I liked) broken by guitar solo accents. Curious to hear what else Buck has brewing up for us.

Thank you for all the great music, all the great years..Class act. I really want to see you at least one more time !

Buck Dharma: thanks for posting. Nice photo collage of past and present. Good song too. Cheers! 🥨

The Buck stops here? We all hope not, don’t we?

Beautiful. Nice to see cameos of Sam Judd and Bolle.

Great song. Been a B.O.C. fan for decades.

Love it Buck just like everything you have ever done. Will be in USA from New Zealand in 2025 to catch some of your shows

Soft White Underbelly FOREVER .. Long Island Bars and Dive they tore the fickin roof off!! R. I. P. Alan Lanier phenomenal guitarist in his own right! Love this band, always will. Feel like I know them, yet I don't!!!

Thank you for your years of playing for our enjoyment. I hope that this isn't the end of every song, but if it is, Godspeed. I will be witness on 10/25 for your show in Wabash.

My favorite of all time by leaps and bounds .Wow That's a gem of a video. Thanks for the memories, first saw you in 77 in Fitchburg MA. Last time was in Lynn Ma.I believe it was my 87th. 🎸🎸

Love it Buck, thanks for this

When they roll my first body out in a bass drum, I believe I will have a better rig in the sky. I'm hanging on to the resurrection. Come jam with me.

It's got a believable tone and nice space for the instruments and parts to breathe....great work!

Thanks for everything, Buck! I met BÖC in 2012 and I was able to see 2 new albums. It's my 2nd favorite band ever and I always say you're the most underrated guitarist in history. Your riffs, solos and tone are amazing. May the future still be great, but the past was bright and your legacy remains! 🎸🤘🏼❤️

What an amazing song and deeply impactful video!

Thank you. It is so good to hear your voice and songcraft again. An excellent piece of music.

*Fantastic!* Thanks for everything Buck .👍🤎

WOW

Content de découvrir une nouveauté en lien avec ce fabuleux groupe Blue Oyster Cult. Beau morceau mélodique même s'il manque peut-être d' un peu de fantaisie ou de folie. On verra l'album le moment venu.

Excellent

Is this the final goodbye? Wow. It sure feels like it! What a terrific song, though, a lovely video with some photos that I've certainly never seen before,. If it is the full stop, then it's a perfect way to bow out. If not, then that’s fine too! Nice work, Buck.

Thank you for your 🎶.

wow! Buck,,, you just are one of the most amazing song writers and guitar players!!! Just another classic!

the star rises and sets. that's rock n roll.

I'm scared!!!! Is healthy??? I have a terrible feeling something is wrong with him. OMG, I hope not. I've had the chance several times of meeting him and is as down to earth as you could want. Fantastic player. He's going to be 77, maybe it's him saying goodbye to touring; I hope that's all it is. Stay healthy Buck. WE LOVE YOU!

Buck looks magnificent.

Great melodic rock song

This is a great song ... I could care less about videos usually , but this video is supreme
