I am so glad you joined BOC Richie. All of us old time fans have missed the original lineup for 39 years, but you have brought us immense thrills with your shocking level of musicianship, in a variety of formats. Thanks, and please keep it coming.

[@jlforrest]

KZbin is full of fantastic players, like you guys. But, the one thing that elevates you above all the rest is just how good you guys sound.

[@synchronicity1470]

Andy, killin it on drum and keys! Richie!!!! amazement!

[@babsfocker7751]

damn, Richie vocals are outstanding.

[@TSRThom]

Dear Mister Costelano, (or dear Richie choose what you prefer) as being a guitarist myself, I can say that you are a hell of a guitar player. But if I could sing only half as good as you I‘d never touch my guitar. What a complete musician you are. Thank you so much for the great videos and constant entertaining me. Greetings from Germany. Thom

[@JawTooth]

That was awesome! The bass player and guitarist look very similar, almost identical!

[@mcsquared4319]

How about the singer?

[@hot88s23]

They could almost be twins. The drummer and keyboardist are wearing the same outfit.

[@kathmandoo]

Same with the drummer and keyboard player. All sensational musos.

[@adriannorris1486]

Well spotted!👍🤣

[@fishingirl41]

Currently picking my jaw up off the floor 🔥🔥🔥 you guys are awesome

[@moparbee1523]

Richie you are a FREAKIN' SHAPESHIFTER!!! Is there any band or sound you can't recreate!!!! I am convinced you are a ROBOT!!AWESOME JOB!!

[@mcsquared4319]

He is but he doesn't know...

[@djm4457]

What he said......

[@craigpage381]

Richie the ROBOT???

[@jamoncure]

You guys! Richie is not only this awesome player and singer......he is the lead singer/player for Blue Oyster Cult now! Just a clue, if you didn’t know this..... just sayin.... Richie, you ROCK, man!!!

[@crcoord]

Richie is one of my favs on here, along with Ann Marie and the whole band, but that dude can do it all, and do it WELL!

[@alabamafan7364]

I’m shocked! Dude, that was the best Kansas cover I’ve ever seen...or heard! 🔥🔥🔥

[@rbarnes4076]

Guys, this is just outstanding musicianship. I'm completely blown away.

[@NathanLittel]

Kept expecting an Impala to drive through frame. Bloody awesome.

[@erjent59]

Un-F-ing Real!!!! Close youe eyes and I see Steve, Kerry, Rich, Dave and Phil! Fantastic job fellows!!!!

[@philie91]

You guys are amazing.. I would love to hear Juke Box Hero...

[@DJ_Tasha_Nicole]

As well as Foreplay/longtime

[@jch5150]

How about Roll the Bones by Rush. 🎲🎲🍖💀

[@don1023512008]

Bohemian Rhapsody!

[@KurtColville]

Jason Haverfield Are you kidding?!? Why would anybody want to play that shit? Request some real Rush, like “The Fountain of Lamneth.”

[@jgweems]

@@KurtColville Roll the Bones is just as much "real Rush" as "The Fountain of Lamneth". Rush wrote it, recorded it, and put it on an album of the same name. People's tastes vary. Caress of Steel is probably my favorite Rush album though.

[@Coupydog]

Fine, VERY fine. Brings me back to '77 high school years!

[@gibsonplayer8]

One of the greatest covers of this song I've ever heard. Great harmonies, spot on guitar playing, just so awesome.

[@michelrobert3682]

And one more time the winner is..............Band Geek of course

You are all so damn talented. Glad I discovered you. Killer vocals too

[@moldingpro7208]

I watched the video where you produced this video. I could watch this video over and over. It is amazing how just the two of you made this entire song. This could play on the radio and many people would not even be able to tell it was not the original. Awesome job!

[@Bigstrat2]

[@posvar9]

F'ing nailed it! Best cover ever! Damn!

[@markcurran4473]

Ritchie is amazing. I saw him at BOC show and he played guitar and keyboards and his guitar playing was outstanding. He even gave Buck Dharma a run for his money - no easy feat! Thanks for the great work and inspiring musicians everywhere!

[@amisimal7668]

[@oldcodger9388]

Incredible that two guys could pull this off. 😊

[@onyourmarkphoto]

Just incredible. Nothing short of sign a huge record deal. If something should ever happen to our favorite bands you guys are here. In many cases you sound better than the original bands. Thanks for all the work you put into these posts.

[@peterjung8070]

So very, very good!

[@bradfeckoury7855]

[@mdporter2010]

I like the Brian May Red Special up on the wall. Great job!

[@DarkVelizar]

Great cover, spot on!

I remember you playing this at Purchase my first semester there. Blew me away!

[@Paxfactor]

Wow dudes...sick!!!!!

[@dechamp0]

[@alterego5985]

I always watch your solos twice. I concentrate on the guitar plating first, and then rewind to see your guitar face

[@mat2941]

The sound is spot on

[@studio1954thereflections]

That was awesome! ..love your videos and great talent!
