[emergefromnothing]

Told you it was good. :)

[edzeppelin1984]

This is exactly what covers should be like - respectful while still making the song their own.

[celebrant9]

Hauntingly beautiful.

Is it any wonder that I've been following BOC (the iron and miNd) since 1973...all Altar boys and thrill seekers are after rebellion, but may not settle...for lies.....

3 people thought this was gonna be ESP homosexuals...sry bad joke

[SlamageEntertainment]

Nope

[IndigoNeutrino]

This is great! So different from the original but there's something really haunting about this one. Excellent cover.

[dreymers]

There should be more covers of Sandy Pearlman's lyrics - this is so well done!

[Durandal1717]

The greatest Blue Öyster Cult cover I've ever heard.

[altbouch]

Really nice job and I should know. The vocals are particularly excellent and make the lyrics make more sense than the original. Congrats Espers.

As a BOC 'purist", I gotta say I really like this cover.

It's a testament to a great song that it can transfer so well between genres.
