Finally some Blue Öyster Cult! Just a friendly warning, this band is very addictive! Some of their better known songs are Godzilla, Burnin For You and Cities On Flame With Rock and Roll. Some deeper cuts are I Love The Night, Are You Ready To Rock, Astronomy, E.T.I., and Veteran of the Psychic Wars. You guys are really going to love this band.

I'm for any and all of these live versions: "Cities on Flame" and "Subhuman" from 'On Your Feet or On Your Knees', "Astronomy", "E.T.I."., and "Godzilla"' from 'Some Enchanted Evening', "Veteran of the Psychic Wars", "Black Blade", and "Godzilla" (either version) from 'ETL', and "Perfect Water" from 'A Long Day's Night'. My recommendations are "Nosferatu", "The Great Sun Jester", and "The Vigil".

Yes sir ! You are correct . Bucks Boogie is an awesome Song.

@TheCkent100 Год назад

According to Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser, the lead guitarist, and lead vocalist on this song, he wrote it after getting a diagnosis of an irregular heartbeat. That had him thinking about his mortality and that he may have a shortened life. "I thought I was going to maybe not live that long", he said in an interview. He described it as "a love song where the love transcends the actual physical existence of the partners". It advocates courage in the face of death, but in no way suggests we should actively bring it about. It expressed his wish that should he die early, that he would be able to be with his loved ones again in the afterlife." - Songfacts

@bostonvair Год назад

^ This. This song is sometimes "accused" of promoting suicide, but it is not. It is about accepting the inevitable when our time comes. Next by BOC should be "Godzilla," followed by "Cities on Flame,"

@leetroy3129 Год назад

@@bostonvair I was fairly young when this came out (63 now). I have never ever once heard anyone say that this song encourages people to commit suicide.

@bjhellstream Год назад

You don't remember the solo part because its edited out of the radio version. So glad you choose the album version. This song is genius. The soft soothing vocals delivering very dark lyrics about suicide. The three albums before this is much more heavy! I like these albums more. Songs like Career of Evil, The Red and the Black, Cities on Flame, Astronomy, ME 262 and many more. Nice catch getting the Ghost connection. Their first big single Elizabeth is soooo Blue Oyster Cult.

@andrewtrautman592 Год назад

This band is very versatile. Different sounds, different singers... Lots of scifi thimes in their songs. Buck Dharma is extremely underrated as a guitarist.

@ordinarynocturne Год назад

If there's such a thing as a rock 'n' roll lullaby, that's this song. I love it so much. It just completely transports you to its world. According to the band, the vague suicide theme was unintentional. It's about not being afraid to live or love. It can be scary, but it's a leap of faith. You can't be so afraid of death that you never live at all.

@mlinderict Год назад

If I remember correctly, this was written by Donald (Buck Dharma) Roeser contemplating an early death after an illness? BOC are great guys. They toured with their families for a time. Have seen them live several times. Always rocked!

@autumnphillips151 Год назад

Nah, the blistering guitar solo definitely prevents it from being a possible lullaby. I did once sleep with headphones on listening to “Silent Lucidity” by Queensrÿche on repeat during a very boring road trip, though.

@dancrabbe6423 Год назад

James Hetfield from Metallica talked about BOC in an interview some years ago. He mentioned that BOC played the biggest venues in the country in the late 70's / early 80's, but now they play smaller venues and large clubs. James wondered how a band can make that change from large venues to small venues. But then he said that he caught a recent BOC show and understood why: They love what they are doing. They love playing live in front of a crowd. The rock music industry is like professional baseball. Many people play in the minors, but only the lucky few get called up to the "big show". Everybody hopes to get that call, but if you decide that you will not be happy unless you get the call, there is a huge probability that you will be a very sad individual. A better existence is to work hard and hope to make it big, but be happy to get what you do get and just keep playing the game as long as the game wants you.

This song was THE anthem of the 1994 Steven King Miniseries "The Stand". Blue Oyster Cult typically sings about various supernatural, fantasy or sci-fi themes. The band even had been Licenced to make songs about Godzilla and Nosferatu (by name), as well as the Eternal Champion series ("Black Blade" is the song). They also made various love songs. The girl in the sing is dying, and the singer is Death.

Don't know if anyone else mentioned it, but this song was used to eerie effect in John Carpenter's movie 'Halloween'. The original one in the late 70's, not the modern remakes.

They are still touring today and recently put out their first album in 20 years (The Symbol Remains) and it kicks the preverbal ass!!

The reaper comes for us all eventually. Death is a part of life so, why fear it. Dying isn't a matter of "if" but rather "when". Romeo and Juliette would rather be together in death than be forced to live apart. Truly a tragic romance for the ages.
