Wow... Eric always seemed like he could kick your ass anytime... Mmaybe it was he hair... Seems like a really cool guy. Oh, who I wouldn't kill to meet Eric Bloom: Let's see. Uh, Obama? nah I'd kill him for Eric. Gaga? No, don't need an incentive for her. Uhm, I guess I wouldn't kill CHuck Norris, but that's cuz his beard would stare me to death.

@NYVoice 2008 We saw boc in rochester mn , they had a crowd from hell and all the great classic gems performed there as, I would say that by just that one show it had to be one of their more outstanding touring years !!!

Eric comes over as a really nice, decent bloke. I bet an evening in a bar with a few beers would be great fun.

The funny part about the SNL sketch is that they got the characters names wrong. There were 2 people dressed as Buck, and the cowbell player resembled eric. the lead singer was dressed as buck, but was called eric. but there was no eric bloom in the whole sketch.

@sambrose10 Martin sends everyone emails, he's very in touch with anyone interested!!

It only makes sense then.... Grand Theft Auto and Blue Oyster Cult. People are sure to latch on to the music they hear in any given GTA game!! I know I love the series

LOL I"m on line at the movies waiting to buy popcorn and I hear Cities On Flame on the guitar hero game right there in the lobby.

it'd be fun to watch Buck Dharma muck up on a B.O.C. tune, playing Guitar Hero. "Hey, don't you know how to play your own song, man?".

I've seen them several times over the years. I think they did one of their best sets in Broom Cty Ballon Fair in 2008. They were right on and just killed!!!!!!
At the age of 40 last year, I finally started playing guitar....I suck but I try to play BOC....VERY HARD!!!!....LOL

Wow, Eric said on part 8 that 2008 was the Cult's best year based on, I guess, a newfound curiosity about the group. I saw them from 1976 on and they put on one of the best live shows around. And cowbell notwithstanding, Secret Treaties, Agents, Spectres, and the live releases should be given a second listen. My kids know about Queen and several groups from that era and BOC should be no exception. Their musicianship was first-rate. I do miss the Bouchards but Eric and Donald are still at it.
