Blue Öyster Cult - "Godzilla" - Live Video

[@0159ralph]

One of most underrated bands. Some of rocks biggest hits no body will forget: reaper, burning for you and Godzilla. These guys were ahead of their time. BOC was one of my first concerts. When I was 16 back in 81 they stopped in Albuquerques and played at the old Tingley Coliseum. On of the best concert that stopped in here . They rated up there with Rush Ted Nuget Ozzie and Jethro Tull. As a kid you could afford to go to a concert back then.

[@GaZonk100]

so true - and some of us are only discovering because some algorithm has 'thought' about them and their likes. . .whoa what a world, but you're right. . .good stuff

[@troysalois5966]

My first in 76 Charlie Daniels opened the show.

[@michaelspriggs9447]

What's really remarkable is that Buck never seems to play the same solo. Always something a little different within the contextvof the song. Gifted and we've been so lucky to hear him.

[@basedbear1605]

That isn't remarkable... it's easy for any guitar player to do. What would be remarkable is if he could make it sound the same every time. THAT takes talent. Meandering around on the fret-board isn't remarkable at all. And yeah, I play professionally.

[@One-z6y]

@@basedbear1605 Well ya know, folks use words out of context all the time. Looks like it was a 'fun' concert though.

Everything about Godzilla movies I love , and this song just tops it off for a older guy .

[@ChrisNystrom]

The old men still have it. Rock on forever!

[@GaZonk100]

they hit a groove and stick with it. . .intensify, and beam it!

[@gregmarshall487]

The most perfect rock and roll tune of all time!!! Fun, nonsense that kicks ass!!!!

[@chrisjordan4210]

Are you saying there is no Godzilla, why the hell have I spent the last 60 years under the bed scared of a gigantic sea monster? Oh, no it was worse than that.

[@thepopculturebuff5080]

I love how Blue Oyster Cult just casually created a theme song for Godzilla that’s somehow more iconic than the 1954 original theme.

[@v.v3829]

Why do certain loud G-list musicians claim Nirvana copied portions of this song for “smells like teen spirit? Wtf , 2 songs don’t sound anything alike besides way drums kick in very beginning. The latest g-list superstar was ultra talented , Uber famous , “Ex-Keyboardist for Marilyn Manson” this confused clown calls himself Madonna . Anyway he posted this song & nirvana song & actually wrote “F -ck you Kurt Cobain, you fkn thief” ? Wtf? I don’t get it ? Anybody else see it?

[@kerrimiller3397]

I know isn't it great the best

[@mrmusicman3635]

@darthmaul3525you could say the same thing about “smoke on the water” or “cinnamon girl” at what point does it end? As an actual guitar player I only play h things that sound fun in the moment and Later double check I’m not ripping anyone off which is %100 what Kurt did as well, you can’t copy chords the finished result determines what is the same or not. Nothing the same and at this point you could say ALL music is Just sounds to animals

[@isgar2266]

I'm 56 years old and I been listening to BOC since I was in Jr High!!!! I remember being in class my second day of Jr high, siting behind Buba Jenkins and he's wearing a BOC concert shirt. I'm like what the fuck is Blue Oyster Cult? Well after I found out about them I was hard core BOC fanatic!!!!Straight up rock n roll all my life. Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult!!

[@StratBurst92]

I was born one year before Godzilla graced us with his presence. I have seen every movie and collect figures of him. Great band & great song. Watshi Wa Gojira Ga Dalsuki!

[@angelthehalfbreed4851]

No way in heaven you're THAT old, Jesus, good lord dude, you must be grateful to see his evolution through the years

[@David-lo1fo]

@Ángel the halfbreed 1955 ? First movie, two years before I had arrived as David. Love ❤️ This jam. The Japanese couldn't be more proud. Godzilla the resulting monster Of A-bomb warfare. If they Only knew the folly of war!

Godzilla- King of the Kaiju

[@vaneipontes3824]

Funking Band Criminally Underrated!!!

[@seancollins6099]

probably one of the coolest rythmic bridges at 3:00 that there ever was. that awesome riff only happens once in the whole song. Wish they had a whole song with that groove.

[@brnrik500]

What kind of axe is the leed guitar player “Buck” playing? i saw boc in 83 at a county fair in MI. Best show ever by far not even close!

[@rexxengineering8333]

It’s a Steinberger with a Swiss cheese pattern. He calls it his “Cheeseberger”.

[@r.hill.2369]

This performance has not lost a step in 50 years. BOC are criminally underrated.

[@tjnugent62]

I love this band.. Adding Richie Constallano was a great move. He is versatile.

[@cathall7693]

this might just be my favourite live version of the song. they all look like they're having so much fun

I.just watched the Godzilla movie with Raymond Burr on Svengoolie and had to look up this song. This is a great version of Godzilla. I have been a fan since the early 70's. Still going strong! 💜😁

GODZILLA is coming again on Svengoolie this Saturday October 22, 2023. Sven is have double features during the month of October!

[@Dr.JeremyDunks]

That subtle guitar feedback as the song kicks off is such a nice touch. Could be used in Foley art for a Godzilla flick. Probably when he tears down a suspension bridge.
