  • Blue Oyster Cult is definatly Heavy Metal, but they are Classic Metal, along with Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, ect... Back then the music was more about melody than how heavy it was. Nowadays, "metal" bands can't think up very creative riffs that are heavy, so they resort to breakdowns to make themselves sound "metal" (Devil Wears Prada, and those kinds of "metal" bands).

  • Awsome album! My favorite BOC.

    Nowadays bands playing New Metal. Heavy Metal is oldschool. Iron Maiden are New Wave of British Heavy Metal.

  • @ghola2010 What is an insult is showing Lita Ford and Joan Jett on your channel. Blue Oyster Cult never deemed themselves as a heavy metal band...this song has nothing to do with the "heavy metal" you are referring to. They aren't Maiden or Priest or Sabbath or the Scorps if that's what you are looking for. But Fire of Unknown Origin is a great album! And back in the day, seeing a 40 foot Godzilla on stage breathing fire was pretty impressive!

  • @pecatur Boc is alot more than just Metal, listen to all of their records. They have so much more to offer than just one thing.

  • @MrHeavyMetalx You think I don't know about Heaven and Hell? All of those last bands were agiven, they are all classics. The Sword is fucking sick, too.

  • @ghola2010 No, Blue Oyster Cult was the more technical aspect of Classic Metal. They were all in it for groupies to SOME degree, every guy has to have some way to score chicks.

  • @69ofdoom

    that's a bit of an insult really, comparing blue oyster cult with the likes of black sabbath, or iron maiden.

    groupie bands is all they are.

  • @steelwizard

    *the spirit of rock'n'roll I mean

  • @WuFFYWuLF

    Nah, I just look at things in a kinda simple yet not unthoughtful way. And I'm a bit high most of the time. To me, the spirit is a never ending inspiration.

  • The best thing about BOC is their mysticism. Check out this; a book by Adrian Berry called "The Iron Sun..."

    The chapters to Part One (Through the Black Hole) are titled as follows:

    Where Matter Vanishes

    The Spinning Gateway

    Into the Whirlpool

    The Forbidden Circle

    Part Two (The Iron Sun) begins with (1) The Arm of Orion.

    BOC has always had the best lyrics I think...often ambiguous...leading you to quench your thirst for more "black" knowledge.

  • Buck really controls those guitar-feedback noises. They are nicely in tune. I love that ending. Those tones are out of this world.
