godzilla by blue oyster cult NY 1980

[FatherWindsorMcShane]

Great old song

[BugsKingsnakeBunny]

I am off to Tokyo on a business trip, I have fed my yellow fever in years past with various Asian whores but I am looking forward to this

[sunny082185]

I would have had a seizure during the drum solo.

[BugsKingsnakeBunny]

The colour white is considered to be unlucky by superstitious Japanese

[MrLilPixel]

this would be awesome outdoor with a life size scale of godzilla firing his atomic breath

[silenoz81]

nice glasses



[TheOriginalShredneck]

THIS IS THE GREATEST FUCKING THING I'VE EVER SEEN.

[gnr147]

ah merde... ça c'est du rock n' roll

[McGarnagle420]

One more bowl brought me to this song...LONG LIVE BOC \m/

[puercopigsk8]

why a bieber joke is a top comment instead a blue oyster cult comment?

[TitaniousGrubbs]

@puercopigsk8 because they secretly love him. If people hated him so much they wouldn't talk about him ever.

[cobias]

I remember seeing this on BlueJean network when i was 9 in 81. I was already indoctrinated by kiss but this was awesome ! Love rock and metal ! BOC was dark in a trippy way too. Godzilla , Burning for you, Dont fear the reaper ...

[alcoholfueledrage]

I was there at this show, yes tripping on acid. I still hate that drummer for becoming that monster. I thought it was real.

[thecuttingpoint]

@alcoholfueledrage

Yep... I remember hearing the stomping on the celing. Freaked me out!

[JohnnyStar25]

I saw The Cult do this song (complete with laser beam eyed Godzilla) at the Madison Square Garden (Fog Hat opened for them) blowing joints and doing lines right there in our seats. It was a much cooler world.

[calmvoiceofreason]

@JohnnyStar25 Man Lonesome Dave opening up for BOC..................what a show!

[KopytoGroma]

OMG. I saw this concert in Germany in the late 70's. Thanks for the memories! 'Bunch of stoned, wasted GIs just hanging out together. :)

[xxxxBartonxxxx]

I like rock music as much as the next decent person, but it seems to be people who like this music, are always the ones bring up Justin Beiber all the time, shut the fuck up about him, clearly you like him

[RobcsiMobcsi]

fuck jeah 666

[TheRulerdude]

seen them on the Black & blue tour !!!!

[metallicatilldeathhh]

i didnt know seth rogen could sing....

[Cryptorchild92]

I wonder if the giant godzilla breathing smoke was the inspiration for all the larger-than-life monstrous Eddie avatars later in the 80's... This was 1980, Maiden were just starting out, they only had just a head on the wall during this time...Or maybe if bands were using giant props before I might be wrong...

[TheMileaway]

These guys are some of the most talented, but people, you gotta admit....the paper mache Godzilla blowing smoke was kinda GAAAAAAAAY.

[tjfreak]

@TheMileaway I kinda agree.. There was Agents of Fortune... they seemed cool...then this stuff ? can you say

Gay ? isn't that illegal ? like retard...There was a click in my High school in the early 80's that worshiped and followed these guy's all over...I kinda went in the direction of Dio / Sabbath,Schenker,Montrose /Gamma,Priest.

[MrnMrsKYE]

@TheMileaway lol but back then it was cool! hahaha

[PLEBLANC69]

This perfomance brings a tear to my eye....

[billiedreher]

saw this live in 80,Foghat was headlining with them at Henry Levit Arena in wichita,ks...

[XxHellenCroosxX]

godzilla play a badass drums solo

[SENDMCLEODS]

All you "good" (bad) singers like justin beeber and such getta kick outta this LOOK AT IT LOOK AT TRUE TALENT YOU "good singers"

[MrAngzilla]

Sounds like Something big's Cominn this Way!..........................­....GAWDZIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLAAA!

[yoshiofdeath]

OK... this kicks ASS...

[dragon43019]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaa



[tat2gar60]

i saw this in st louis in 1980 on the black and blue tour with black sabbath. boc opened up and they blew sabbath away. ozzy was gone from sabbath but boc was and is my favorite. seen them first in 78 at superjam at the old busch stadium and many times since

[TheSilentCreature]

@tat2gar60

Fuck off, Sabbath is better with Dio. BoC is great but Sabbath is better.

[Ricomagnafico]

So fucking beast, it burns!

[fcavazotte]

This shit raaawwwwkkkzzz!!!1111!!

[monoclecobra]

Is the drummer Godzilla or not?

[violetxoxox]

I saw them play this live at the Rose Bowl in July of '82. Journey was headlining. The stadium, which is massive, was completely packed, and when the giant Godzilla rose up from the stage with the glowing eyes and smoke pouring out, the entire crowd went absolutely batshit. It was so so so much fun!

[eddieoracle]

Its so amazing that the youth of those days were able to witness and hear talent and creativity of that caliber. Its rare to even come close to a band in this current time to pull off some wicked stage presence and magic ike this here!

wow.

[pinkfloydagin]

sick shit

[dpalladini]

the original monster of rock

[copper80611]

Love it! Saw them at age 16 with my soon to be husband and my brother..the first concert I ever saw...was fucking awesome....thank you!!!!

[TheCyrix1]

Hey you J BIeber !

HEAR what talent is !

AND CRY !

[Korban3]

I love how Dharma bobs his head when he rips on the guitar. These guys always put on such a great show.

[iheartdonut]

Best song introduction EVER!

[seanryan22]

Man, I wish I was there. BOC FTW !!!!

[wbrosen]

F%$k justin bieber and this generation

[JismCasanovaDurden]

@wbrosen Thats what i keep saying.

[themancable]

@wbrosen

But that's Justin Bieber's dad on drums ... Justin Bieber used to sing in a BÖC cover band don't ya know.

[DefLepLvr1]

@wbrosen FORGET JUSTIN BEIBER!!!!!!! WHY ALWAYS COMMENT ON HIM IF YOU TRULY DO NOT LIKE HIM??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DON"­T GIVE HIM THE ATTENTION!!!!!!

[daft9009]

they shot him and he meowed

[technoterminator]

godzilla is good at the drums.

[qofl]

Dude, I was there in 1980. I remember Godzilla playing the drums.

[7777jpaul]

So this is what the Black and Blue tour was like. I was there but for some reason I dont remember much , lol

[Bosdriver0435]

@7777jpaul Fuckin' lmao!!...I followed the Black and Blue tour through New England....those were the day's man!! I don't remember much either....except the drummer for BOC had the Godzilla head....fucking awesome.

[greatleahart]

suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper!

[cArLiT02oo8]

quickbeat hi hats!



[deucesinger]

man, you know that lead guitarist for boc was fantastic and i don't think given the credit he deserved,,,rock fusion,,,jazz fusion,,, you name it fusion,, he really is brilliant!,, i've had a band, (deuce) for nearly 30 yrs,,godzilla is a song we started doing back in 83 or 84 because it was a song that wasn't getting airplay & deuce thought it was a song that needed to be heard!,,please check it out at 437boxed on U tube,, plus many other classic rock tunes. (nugent ,animals,zepplin) rock on!

[mcdago62]

i saw them and black sabath on the black and blue tour great times

[OldManEmo1]

@Shagz very close, it's a Gibson Explorer

[finnemccool]

I saw BOC at the Day on the Green in 1980. Ozzy Osbourne was the head liner, but this tune stole the show.

[Neoleuchter]

shit, this opening...GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­DZILLA....fantastic!

[vivanlos33]

Godzilla+ Rock and Roll = increible!

[MayurWestFan]

the Oyester are fucked up shit man xD. Srsly, smoke a joint while listening to this shit .-.

[lcolby11]

The fkin best song they ever did

[kwakis]

Anybody know what kind of guitar Buck Dharma is using?

[ShagZthaClown]

@kwakis i'm not an expert, but it looks a "gibson freebird" to me

[Tehstroyer]

@kwakis: Guiliano Balestra Vulcan. Looks like a luthier's job made after the design made by Balestra (he's a designer, not a luthier I think)...

[aaa567ify]

Great jam. Like this song. Thanks for the upload.

[dws901]

maybe I shoulnt have done that last bowl.....

[BHACK2332]

BOC ROCK POUGHKEEPSIE NY

[mathis21]

I saw them back in 1979 at the old Portland Memorial Colosium in Portland Oregon doing this song with the same effects. Wow, talk about a trip!

[CosmikDebrisFZ]

@mathis21 Oh ya! I saw them live in 1981 in Potland Maine. Excellent show.

[chugnorrish]

[gulwinky]

[gulwinky]

I saw the Black and Blue tour about the same time this vid was done, it was an awesome concert!!!

[RickyRocker821]

[cugamer]

[liamtz]

Comic book rock.

[stabby8083]

I would have loved to hear the crowd singing @ show in japan, lmao. "GO GO GODZIRRA!!!!!!!!

[FonkyShitProductions]

well i be damned, this is a historical tune!

[notundercovercop327]

There lead singer looks way to much like Jeff Lynne. In fact Jeff Lynne probably saw this video and said "I don't remember recording that song.

[Longhammer37214]

I thought this was Spinal Tap Video.

[saltgurkan59]

Inte världens bästa trummis men cool ändå..

[MikePtolomy]

Needed more Cowbell.

[BHACK2332]

@MikePtolomy 

[BIGSNAKE16]

The reason for the devastating earthquakes and tsunami in Japan. GODZILLA is pissed.

[skipfuckdie]

[gathrow]

[outoworkdreamer]

[Hiddosch]

What the... amazing play, amazing show, amazing drum solo filming, amazing performance!

[mabewa]

Yep. Godzilla is back alright...



[drunkdude69]

OMG I need my computer to get a shitload louder like NOWWWWWWW!!!!!

Oh wait, I have this on their live LP. I can just go listen to it on the 1000W system.

[pajiad191]

Fukushima Daiichi reactor has released enough gamma ray radiation to create a massive radioactive beast fueled by the spilt energy of mans hubris and bent on the destruction of his shocked creators .

History shows again and again how nature points out the follies of man.

[TomBuhls]

Wow. That would be a BAD trip for someone if they were watching during the drum solo....

[peterargiropoulos]

History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of men.

[fartlek55]

@peterargiropoulos Good point, brother... prayers to all the folks in Japan---

[jroxx11211]

a long island band playing in new york!!!!! new york is the rock n roll capital of the world!!!! three words: madison square garden!!!!!!!!!

[jocksilver7]

...sadly enough, it is back. ...taxi-driver -san, take me to Narita, right away. May the ancient gods bless the great nipponic nation and the world around it!

[goldenvideos121]

godzilla is the bet song evar!!!!!

[insaneterrain]

56 people bet on mothra to win.

[zebradun6]

Godzilla stirs.

[mybadtexas]

I saw BOC when they had a fantastic laser light show. It was friggin' incredible!

[MilkDilk]

I think they were playing this in japan this morning.

[holyfamilymusic]

@MilkDilk You're a douchebag

[Chaster064]

I was at this exact show it was jones beach theater in long island ny which happened to be where BOC was from Some bs band the british lions was opening we booed them literally off the stage and BOC came out early after the stage change and they were phenomanal..

[Chaster064]

I was at this exact show it was jones beach theater in long island ny which happened to be where BOC was from Some bs band the british lions was opening we booed them litwerally off the stage and BOC came out early after the stage change and they were phenomanal..

[IBZ1965]

@Chaster064 I was at this exact show too. But it wasn't the Jones Beach Theater. It was at Nassau Colliseum in 1980 and (even though they had equal billing) BOC opened for the "the new" Black Sabbath (with Ronnie James Dio) It was the "Black & Blue" tour. Believe it or not, a movie ("Black & Blue") was released and included this clip.

[musicaladdiction420]

this is fuckin awesome!! these guys are still goin, I need to go see them while I can... my mom says she went to a Blue Oyster Cult concert when she was pregnant with me... might explain why I'm addicted to rock n' roll!!

[jerryfan73]

This brings me back to the late 70's tripping my face off at the Palladium in NYC!!!!

[jerryfan73]

This brings me back to the late 70's tripping my face off at the Palladium in NYC!!!! 

[MatthewMartin23]

BOC deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. What pure musicians. What phenomenal rockers. Love it. All their stuff rocks! Greatest live act ever!

[Booda35]

If the whole world would smoke a bowl and listen to godzilla it would be a happier world we would live in.

[MrJerryrigged1]

I'm pretty sure I was at this concert! 1980 Poughkeepsie New York!

[mylife4adew]

@MrJerryrigged1 hey I live in poughkeepsie.

[spongeblog]

this is awesome 

[pcill62]

Have photos of Godzilla / Maine

[DFloyd84]

Al Bouchard is secretly a Lizard Person from Sirius?! Why did he let his disguise slip during his epic drum solo?

[Renvent]

This was a Great Tour!!

[domeymcsquire2]

Wow this shit just got really trippy out of nowhere.

[cesky69]

Drum solo was where GWAR got their idea

[DMASeatiger]

Oh fuck, this is so damn awesome.

[ifyouwantblood97]

That would suck if an epileptic was in the crowd during the drum solo

[marksimon94]

@ifyouwantblood97 Or if drummer itself was an epileptic :) Had one im my band some years ago :)

[JRogueVI]

@ifyouwantblood97

That would suck watching that video if you were epileptic. Holy crap that editing was terrible. Great song. Good performance. Bad video editing.

[NekPro25]

This song is SOOOOOOOOOOO good i wish i was there

[Wishiwasinthe70s]

@gotskillz345

Mate you haven't got skills! Guitar hero is so lame how about you go buy a real guitar and hit the notes 100% on that! Don't worry its easy you can do it in power chords heres a start for you. F#, B, C#, G#, A, D#, E, B.

TV and Video games (Unless educational) is just mindless bullshit!

[PDXguitarfreak]

hahaha love the intro - that is classic. Please check out my tribute video to this song if you like BOC :)

[85ihateposeurs]

I just love it when bands kick even more ass live than they do on the album!

2:31-2:52 is absolute perfection!

[shyankn]

that shit rocked then and it still rocks now.........fucking badass!!!!

[69ofdoom]

8:22 Godzilla took a monster bong rip!

[Bojoe777NaBl]

BOBS WORLD BOBS WORLD BOBS WOOOORLD!!!!

[Schon2112]

BUCK ROCKS!!!

[iluvflagunlaws]

I saw this show. The one at Nassau Coleseum that is anyway. Twisted Sister opened up I think. Alarming how 2 hits of mesc, a quaalude and about 40 pill-joints cloud memories. But I remember that drum solo; I didn't know the guy had a mask, I thought it was my near-lethal intoxication.

[borntobewildpascal]

Rock's 

[DRpretorius39]

buck fuckin dharma and eric bloom mother f`rs!!!!!!!!!

[ambientgreg]

Nice editing there...

[Onepercenters]

[hdrydr05]

@mercer131313 ...Ive seen BOC many times back in the 80's. Eric Bloom is by far the best story teller when it comes to leading into a song

[8Zeitgeist]

@mercer131313 yaaaaaaaaa fornicate yes sir such great poop sexual relations !!!!!!!!!! I'd contribute my westernly stone to exist near. good sir! grateful for the broadcast intercourse amazing,

[ThExR3V0LVER]

Favorite song ;)

[gkrc11]

blue oyster cult's best song

[jrushmen]

BLACK and BLUE tour !!

[MrSchmuchface]

i caught this tour in 1980 at orange show stadium in san bernardino ca. molly hatchet and ac/dc opened up for them.it was the last day of summer before i started my senior year. real crazy scene there.

[nanabijou62]

I miss the days of awesome drum solos. I saw BOC in the mid 80s. They told us that because of budget cuts we would have to use our imagination. Imagine something .....big...and .....green! And then this two storey high Godzilla head comes up from behind the stage. Smoke and flames came out of its mouth. The drummer threw his drumsticks at it. Blew my freakin mind!

[danimalfurry]

@nanabijou62 there are some drum solos that are way too long. The only people liking those are way too stoned to remember them later.

[unbornchildofsatan]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jrushmen]

ZillaGod............... Da Da Da Danah !!!

[mylles23]

He picks up abus and he throws it back down as he raves through the buildings toward the center of town ! Oh NO , they say has to go , Oh no Godzilla !

[buubacous]

With a purposeful grimmas and a terrible sound , he pulls those high tension wires down ! Helpless people on subway trains scream " My God " as he gleams in on them !

[hatmap]

Eric is hard rock's greatest Jew! David Lee Roth does not compare.

[connor2112232]

@hatmap nooooooooooooooooo they are jewish??????

thats ok

[johned1956]

BOC is one of the all time classic rock groups. Listening to them brings back my youth. Minus the weed, and hangovers.

[RudySpino]

I love how this isnt some cliche love song which is all we get today, You know what this song should be called: "Justin Bieber can suck it!"

[salemhobbit]

Was this the show at Lebanon Valley Speedway?

[BoondockSaints01]

aw he just wants to fight Rodan, let him and he'll eventually tire himself out and leave
