Behind The Music: (Don't Fear) The Reaper

[thanksfernuthin]

You're part of my family. Thanks for giving me a look into yours.

[allabastormaroe]

RIP Gene Frenkle

[LukasFin]

Lol. Spontaneus is good for heart!

[Korban3]

Mmm... I dunno if I'd watch it. I think it needs more cowbell.

[Jesteria78]

I want that baseball hat!

[Zorbak962]

buck dharma rules, i like how he moves his neck around when he's playing

[spacestick1]

''what do you think? thats terrific!but it needs more cowbell!''

[luelyron]

Go see Buck Dharma's site!

[LisaFossett]

Wow, thanks for posting this, Daryl!

[ax1sg]

ROTFLMAO that was great! Thanks for sharing this.. as a picker I feel mucho bette now!

davido

[utgrad92]

Are there more videos? I loved it!

[Droamen]

BUCK IS THE BEST

[nucleardude11]

met him, he's a great guy

[MetallicBill]

the film Black and Blue maybe long for DVD release, but dammit, waiting for a proper documentary on BOC?! What's the hold up?? A truly amazing band and will never be forgotten

[zagarmonster]

lmao !

I need to see more videos :D

[MetallicBill]

Sounds good, now can we have the correct TAB?! haha

[12groney]

PFG !

[guitarconasor]

The only time you will see Buck playing an Ovation acoustic guitar. Maybe it really was his wife.

[zatoth13]

I like the rug and fake mustache!

He is an excellent guitarist and a really cool person.

[dnstap]

who knew? it was sandy all these years teaching buck :))

[iommimay]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

[lookwhoslaughingnow]

Great!

[5Cats]

I laughed SO HARD!!

His wife is SO HAWT!

Not "hot" but HAWT!

I :heart: BOC and all my fellow cultists!

[MetallicBill]

How about a new hit TV show Buck Dharma and Greg? hahaha I never saw this, but I do a bit o the SOLO and it's fun for anyone starting out. I knew it was a skit, never capture moments like the birth of a classic, because you can't plan it!

[nalc892]

THE MAN...HIS GUITAR...HIS EQUALLY TALENTED WIFE...AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST...THAT BEGINNING CHORD PROGRESSION.

[zabaragum]

i want that DFTR cap

[cjlandry]

I've never heard a BOC song that I didn't like. I prefer the works prior to Revolution by Night, but they never stopped rocking. Dharma and Bloom have never failed to satisfy my love for perfect rock.

[MetallicBill]

@cjlandry Perfect Water is Perfect Song! Actually Rev by Night is great!

[VideoVerity]

Awesome video. Best I've seen in a long time.

[Xapp69]

Absolutely hilarious!!!

[TheJenn68]

It is a timeless rift. Eric Bloom stated in those YT interviews (to the right of this page) that Sting told him he modified the opening rift and song structure for "message in a bottle"

[GeminoSmothers]

I WANT HIS DFTR HAT! Oh, and if I was there I would have said "hmmm... needs more cowbell!"

[GeminoSmothers]

I WANT HIS DFTR HAT!

[ericgenocidex2]

lol.. this is awesome..

thanks

[905Alive]

tooo funny, I never saw Sandy's credits

liked her work on Flat Out

if you have the time check out my drum cover of This Aint The Summer Of Love, I think it does the original justice

Long Live BOC---On Tour Forever

[uncleremus67]

I've seen B.O.C. about a dozen times and every time Buck blows me away.

More Please of Buck & Fam!

[chromlech]

so the wife made the riff???

[tjordulf]

Just gotta say, even when played just like that ,in its simplest acoustic form, thats is still one of the most timeless and evocative riffs EVER. Funnily enough I worked out how to play it just like that. DFTR, Boston, More than a feeling, and Journey, Don't stop Believin, THE 3 greatest songs ever written PERIOD!

Thank you.

[raizzer1]

Wow. I get to comment to BOC. Hey Buck, I won a beer several years ago with this trivia guy who bet me I didnt know who Buck Dharma was. Thanks!

[AlxMiNeR]

buck is soooooo kewl... i dont feel the reaper since i know him :P

[deadflo]

Hey wait, on the intro was he driving a rented Ford???

[bigblockelectra]

it's a Lincoln LS

[BATTLEDROID678]

@deadflo lol then came the last days of may XD!

[PontiacAlfaHSV]

Buck is the man. I like the music during the intro.

[shelly10538]

Man, that was hilarious. Now that's a show I'd watch. Did his mustache actually fall off when he wrote that song? It was so good it actually blew his mustache off. Man, what happened when Zeppelin wrote "Stairway...", did their testicles explode!

[huntergazel26]

that was hilarious,thank you

[corvo64]

..... I can't believe

[kencoa]

he was onto something. It just needed a little more cowbell.

[mrblifil]

So charming. "Buck" is the best!

[charliemac64]

i remember watching this on the website many, many years ago. Any chance of seeing any of the other ones they put up? The singing dog? The Hitler mustache? Gawd, that one was classic!

[joshcop608]

Now the mysteries stand explained... and in this case, THANK YOU, SANDY for the spookiest intro riff ever written. Damn the f*ing SNL skit for ruining some of the secret magic unleashed upon the unwitting throngs who have fallen prey as volunteers, not victims, to the sorcery of this song......

[JimVasiloff]

Haha that's awesome! What's it from, or for, or whatever?

[klasensjo]

the magic disappeared with the moustache.

[legunncat]

lol for real.

[darth723]

for real bitch

[ellenlvx]

The moustache? Or Sandy Pearlman?

[john4951]

Best comedy I've seen this decade thus far.... Buck, the comedy channel just called.....

[felicer]

love it

[Efrasnel]

Brilliant!!!

[caffeinejo]

What a great, great vid. Clearly Buck and Sandy are still very much in love to-day.  Thanks so much for making my day. I simply can't stop smiling after watching this.

FWIW: ME 262 still ranks as my al time fave BOC tune

[BoondockSaints01]

dude! that kicked ass! especially the end! hahaha

[AlbertMondback]

Lulz.

[RadioFreeSpike]

Now that was pretty chuckly! Plus, it slowed down the guitar part enough that I might have a chance to learn it now.

Paullonden, Hardly any Yanks or Brits use the umlaut because we would have to cut and paste it from Microsoft Words pulldown menu.

However, now thanks to you we can cut and paste it from yours. Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö. Thanks for providing a valuable community resource!

[PAULLONDEN]

Why the fuck is none of you Öyster "fans"

able to type a bloody "umlaut" ? ö

[ellenlvx]

I always get ripped, mine won't do it...

[PAULLONDEN]

Whell....It's no disaster,I know, but....

Could be different keyboard settings ?

Mine works like this, first type " after that

an O, wich makes Ö.

Could be the European setting on

my keyboard, wich doesn't fear

the Umlaut q"_"p

[ellenlvx]

So the Tyranny and Mvtation of Oysters is easy when you live in a castle in deepest dark Transylvania? Why am I not surprised.

[LuFFyStRuM]

lol nice

[gugfuf]

That's just so funny! Thanks Buck and Sandy, hope you guys come back to the UK sometime.

[theledzeppguy]

That is COOL!!!

[CE750]

What a great guy and what a great band! There are so many great songs out there that young kids today will never know.. Agent of Fortune, Mirrors, and Cultosaurus Erectus were absolutely great records!

[MetallicBill]

@CE750 Why won't they EVER know them?! haha

[CE750]

@MetallicBill because they're too busy listening to Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and what ever else garbage is being made over the past couple of years.

[gogo420316]

@CE750 Late comment.. but i Agree! Im 20 and own almost every one of their albums on cd.. Always love puting one on when i have people over.. Long live the BOC!

[BeatBay]

@gogo420316 almost everyone!? wtf get all sucka!!

[gogo420316]

@BeatBay It will happen.. in time. Some are very hard to find.. unless you got some nice used copys to sell :P

[mexiryan]

@CE750 I like some of their early stuff from the first three albums: Blue Oyster Cult, Tyranny and Mutation, and Secret Treaties. "Before the Kiss, A Redcap" is one of my favorites.

[peterwulfy]

Buck bring back the tashe.

[peterwulfy]

Who would think Buck Dharma would be so funny!!!

BOC Rocks.

Hope to see you guys at HOB in MB.

Yeah.....BOC HOB MB.....

[glyno1959]

The reaper rules !!!! glyn 76

[malcolmgetscrazy]

FUCKING AMAZING SONG lol

[cdgt1]

All I remember is you guys driving off in your big gold Cadillac.Laughing your heads off.

[karlwarrior123]

Sandy is cool..had the opportunity to speak with her after a Vegas BOC show...smart, good looking, nice.....I believe she co wrote "I LOve the Night"......Good luck in Europe this summer 2008.

[GuitarSource]

2:50 LMAO

[paintballpete89]

hooray buck dharma!

i saw BOC 2 years ago at a country fair... not quite the same as a 70s concert. regardless, buck is an amazing guitarist.

[dhanahlynn]

I've seen BOC @ 10 times; lately small venues in MD. I've met Sandy and him; she is great! I was backstage via friends and was VERY out of place. She knew it and showed me pics of their house and kids!! Told me how Zack is doing in school. Last time I saw BOC Buck must have remembered from before because I reached for a handshake and got a hug and kiss on the cheek. They (BOC) and the 'Dharmas' are fabulous. I told him he was Edgar Allan Poe reincarnated. Read Poe, hear Roeser.

[stonislav]

they love each over, its obvious. i hope everyone of us will find a person she/he can love like they do...my heart goes out to buck and his wife!

[aranveda]

Great::::::::::::::

[dudesterguy]

Woah so excellent and hilarious!!!!!

I have a huge cult symbol tattoo on my right arm and have been Bucks #1 West Chicago fan back in 1975. I saw BOC in 76, 77 and 79 in Chicago, Ampitheatre.

Buck is my # 1 guitar influence of all time, and believe me I've had many. I got into Carlos and Jimi and Zep and aerosmith for years.... But Buck has comforted my soul and has turned me into a veteran of a psychic war dancing in the ruins bcz tomorrow will soon turn into yesterday.

[Thunderhammer40000]

lmao that was great

[Aku666Torres]

dammit,lol..u got me on this one lol!

[luc2posse]

Until his mustache fell off, I was about 40% fooled.

That was hilarious, though. And very convincing to the fan who wasn't around in the 70's and 80's to be an active fan lol.

[clubninjarock]

Who's better than Buck? Nope, not him...him neither....no.....

[garfield2279]

Its great to see a rock star who can take the piss out of himself.Well done Mr&Mrs Buck,excellent video.

[vengeance76]

Donald looks exactly in 1976 xD
