Don't Fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult

[my12steptruth]

I was surprised to learn...it isn't really about death so much as about alien abductions.

[performancejames00]

strokes stole the riff from the solo for one of thier songs.

[sethorothmassivemune]

Then maybe when the advanced alien civilizations find our planet they won't destroy us.

[mightybong1]

[onett128]

@mightybong1 Cowbell has healing powers!

[CHILDRENOFBOBODOM]

@onett128 its a fever reducer



[iamobeliskquake]

@onett128 its a prescription for fevers

[SneakySnakerten]

poor little cows :(

[JesusSanchezz]

@mightybong1 exactly, we need to slaughter more big fat animals like you.

[Raidenko91]

@mightybong1 You are severely underestimating your cowbell's potential.

[classicrockrules1001]

@mightybong1 where the fuck do you come from

[thefirstapots1]

@mightybong1 Thats so the beasts are easy to find. they are also great for tracking the crazy beast you can hear them running from you.

[mightybong1]

ok.....what the fuck is cowbell? seriously! who started it and are they dead yet?

[rictor129]

@mightybong1 cowbell is an instrument. Christopher Walken started it. im surprised you arent dead yet

[mightybong1]

@rictor129 because not obtaining knowledge of the dumbest fucking saying ive ever had the displeasure of knowing is worthy of being murdered...wow. you people need to take death a bit more seriously and as for you. i hope you grandmother dies of STOMACH CANCER!

[ZestyGiraffes]

Baby take my hand, don't feel the reaper. Those are legit lyrics, right there.

[TrempBoy2]

BOC are a damn good band. Don't fear the reaper is great but they've made loads of other great tunes.

[onett128]

@TrempBoy2 Indeed. Astronomy, black blade and godzilla are a few of many other great tracks.

[TheFuckingMediator]

@onett128 Black Blade has to be my favorite song that they did

[kimimaru13339]

@onett128 They Came the Last Days of May is still my favorite from BOC.

[Turokman555]

@onett128 dont foget the shooting shark lolololol... what a great band (no sarcasm SERIOUSLY what an amazing band)

[Sylar03]

The reaper fears Jack Bauer.

[DBdraz12]

@Sylar03 Jack Bauer fears Chuck Norris. :D

[Sylar03]

@DBdraz12 The only thing Jack Bauer fears about Chuck Norris is getting his foot stuck to that candy ass when he kicks it.

[MisterBeaucoup]

DONT FEAR THE REAPER

[SinOfTheSorrowPistol]

hey guess what? i gotta fever! And the only prescription, is more cowbell!

[StBocelo]

[xseb5x]

@StBocelo BOC's kinda symbol i guess  cause its on more albums

[The7whoate9]

I think there's enough cow bell, maybe a bit more.

[jahnj1]

2 people are scared of the reaper.

[IAMcanadaish]

[jurnag12]

This song, is un-fuckin'-believable!

[coconutjoe666]

[SoftwareGlitches]

@coconutjoe666

Just maybe...

[IAMcanadaish]

@coconutjoe666 why dose everyone want more more cow bell?

[zios121]

just listening to this song alomost made me cry, too good.

[onett128]

So time to start some form of discussion.

Does anyone like any of the covers of this song that are out there? I personally love the version done by Big country. Ofcourse BOC's will dwarf all covers but hey.

[TenthWonder511]

@onett128 I find HIM's cover of this to be more ethereal than some of the others. That sets it apart for me.

[MultiJollyguy]

@onett128 You're gay.

[onett128]

@MultiJollyguy Now what sparks that comment? It is uncalled for and untrue.

[usedtobeemo]

@onett128 the covers all suck that's why

[onett128]

@usedtobeemo Well that is hardly a valid reason to question my sexual orientation.

[zasx20]

Quote SNL "i gotta feva, and the only prescription is More COWBELL!!!"

[Wendykaas]

The best song from Blue Oyster Cult ! <3

[BehelitOutlaw]
