Blue Oyster Cult

their only album that ive come across was their greatest hits album, and its been holding up

 

My favorites are
Blue Öyster Cult
Tyranny and Mutation
Secret Treaties
On Your Feet or on Your Knees
Agents of Fortune

 

Ok, this is all well and good, but how much cowbell is there?!?

 

Papa's got the fever, and the only prescription
is MORE COWBELL!

BOC rocks! Those old records (with Joe Bouchard
on bass) had some cool basslines.

 

Wow, I didn't see that one coming.
I haven't heard anything about it, until now.
That's cool. I must check it out.

 

Another vote for the first two, and for Fires Of Unknown Origin. The title track had the lyrics written by Patti Smith, and I just dig the heck out of "Joan Crawford Has Risen From The Grave"

 

Me, too(since those are the only 2 I own/know).

On a tangent:
One of BOC's Bouchards was playing with ex-Cooper band's Neil Smith & Dennis Dunaway. It was called either Eye Scream or BDS...not sure.
Gruffs?
Gweim?

On a tangent-deaux/commercial time:
If you're jones-ing for some '70s Hard Rock-
Check out Captain Beyond's FIRST album.

 

Deadringer was a band w/ dennis, neil, and joe bouchard. it also had charlie hunn who hung with nugent for a while.
dennis and neil also played on a disk with buck darhma on a disk I cant remember the name of that historic poo.

Got to love the 70s boys hanging for old times.

 

It was called Flat Out. I have it on vinyl, and reviewed it for The Illinois Entertainer. It wasn't a bad disc, really. It just wasn't BOC.

The only band I know of that Smith and Dunaway did after Alice was Billion Dollar Babies, and 2 former guitarists from The Shadows of Knight were in one line-up. They described it as a weird gig - they got to live in the mansion, ate like Kings, but didn't get paid. I guess Neil Smith got ticked off at a show at The Palladium when someone in the audience kept calling for "Gloria".

 

Really like the `72 album simply titled "Blue Oyster Cult."
I've sent copies of the song, "She's As Beautiful As a Foot" to friends and they were amazed.

 

Forgot about Flat Out.

Did some checking about BDS(nee Eyescream); they have two albums out...some info can be had at www.nealsmith.com
Neal's not too full of himself.

 

Oooohhhhh no! There goes Tokyo! GO GO GODZILLA!

 

I don't know it might be cool to check out a house with him if he brought groupies.

 

In reply to a certain line by mr. Turner:
"Screw the feeders!"

This thread woke me up to the fact that I too had lost my copy of Imaginos a long time ago. So I started searching the stores and now it's playing in my cd-player.

BÖC is really great. Excellent songwriting. And the best ever guitar(??!!) sound on the studio-version of E.T.I.

Maybe I'll look at the new BÖC stuff too. Though ET-Live would be a must too.

Argh...need to save money for an Alembic and here I am dreaming of buying tons of records...

 

You, my friends, in conjunction with 105.9 "Big 106" (played "Dont Fear the Reaper" on my ride home)have convinced me that I should go out and buy every BOC album I can find.

I have one of their albums on vinyl downstairs, I must get my phonograph (fun word) fixed so I can listen to it!

Peace
Nick

 

BOC!!! Man, i must have seen those guys at least
10 times between '76 & '80. They must have opened
for every band that came thru So. Cal back then.
They always put on a great show with the lasers
and all that. Great band..
