Shoutout to everybody old enough to remember what a physical “b-side” was.

[@pssthpok]

I loved that part of the song. "Time to play 'B-sides'" sounds like 'besides' but means something special to people who remember 45s. And I recall that this was a b-side song of another of their popular singles. I would have been so happy to buy this as a single, two great songs for the price of one!

[@marysmith7291]

I’m here!😂😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@bretcantwell4921]

I owned, and still have about thirty 45s. I listened to this song since 1980 or so. I had the Fire of Unknown Origin LP. It literally until 2020 or so and watching the video to realize that it was "b-sides" rather than "besides".

[@jemogan]

I remember one time years ago I saw BOC playing this song and Buck Dharma stopped playing his guitar to mime turning a record over with his hands while he sang that line. I guess that even back then they knew that many people didn't understand what he was singing.

[@Matterian]

ME!!!

[@neillenet291]

Brad is finally starting to get it! It's not about the genre it's about good music.

[@willfromyadkinville]

fuck yeah! it's all about good music! period!

[@izzonj]

Well, this genre is formulaic radio pop rock

[@TracyfromNC]

[@jme808]

Agree. He is catching on

[@neillenet291]

@@jme808 he still likes his simplicity, but at least he is starting to just be in the moment and enjoy the music for what it is instead of trying to categorize it.

[@normbittner3762]

My 3-4 year old son used to sit in his car seat singing along with the chorus while it played on the radio around 2000-2001. 😊

[@pete3397]

My son would be about the same age, and he loved this one and would sing this along with Lenny Kravitz's " I want to get away",

[@olddangfool]

Very weird to hear BOC called "Easy Listening", but I understand. They've a few other mellow songs. My favorite is "I love the Night", which leads to one category BOC belons to: Vampires before Goth was a thing;

[@473mec]

Easy Listening... I'm laughing!

[@tomgorman748]

I don’t think Brad meant it that way. I think he was referring to how melodic it was and how it’s easy to listen to. It’s not an assault on the ears like some rock.

[@473mec]

@@tomgorman748 Regardless of how he meant it, aside from about 1% of their songs, BOC would not be considered easy listening. I think it's humorous how hearing a BOC radio hit gives both Brad and Lex the impression that all of BOC's songs are like this when the reality couldn't be further away.

[@davidtingley9978]

If they only knew what easy listening meant during BOC's heyday, lol

[@pete3397]

They were also doing zombies: "Joan Crawford".

[@suzanne6333]

The stories that flew around this bands songs were terrifying and love them all.

[@emptypromises2962]

Blur Öyster Cult is THE most underrated band ever. You guys gotta do more of them. "Dancing in the ruins", "Shooting shark"etc.

[@rayhutchinson640]

BOC has so many fun, weird, and thought-provoking songs that it's hard to recommend just one or two for the next exploration. A few of my personal favorites include "The Marshal Plan", "The Red and The Black", and "Dominance and Submission". Have a Great Weekend, folks!

[@xaspirate8060]

You have good taste and clearly not just a casual fan.

[@Ennui.]

"Then came the last days of May" by Blue Oyster Cult... Amazing song

[@ericelander9936]

I've seen suns that were freezing and lives that were through - greatest line in rock history. I'm a sci-fi fanatic and this hits home in a big way. My favorite BOC song. Well done.

[@simonagree4070]

Here's a couple of words for the man who wrote those lines -- Mr. Richard Meltzer -- one of the original rock critics and the author of a shelf of books -- you could look it up. He's probably still drinking on the royalties from this song. A lifelong hero to me. R Meltzer!

[@jeffblevins5899]

VETERAN OF A THOUSAND PSYCHIC WARS - live - great lesser known BOC song that was on the Heavy metal soundtrack... the poster for that is right behind me on the wall. The guitar solo a couple minutes in is absolutely legendary. Buck Dharma shows major chops - dude could shred. Gotta watch the live version.

[@davidkillawee6]

After their cover of We Gotta Get Out of This Place, Veterans is my favourite BOC song, but you would only hear it on the FM dial, sucks that this song didn't get a bigger following.

[@TracyfromNC]

I will.

[@josephgallagher945]

This song was all over the radio back in the 80's. BOC were just basic rock & have such a deep catalog. They were around for decades & had tons of hits. Buck Dharma was underrated as a guitarist. Saw them 3x live & they always put on a great show. 🤟

[@bobsacamano2948]

They used to play this on the old rock stations and the girls would sing this to me. Great times.

[@deboragill4756]

When I think of BOC, Godzilla comes to mind. A blockbuster tune!! At 64 love that these 2 are open to different vibes of music. Rock on!! 🎸 🎶

[@da_blade5040]

58 here an I Totally Agree!! I Raised our 5 children to Love our Old School Music from the 60s to the 80s 🎸🤘🔥 and in turn they introduced me into the late 90s into the early 2000s! Not near as Good but I couldn't Live without AIC or Linkin Park, etc.!!! ❤️ #LoveMusic

[@TheLastGarou]

Another vote for 'Veteran of the Psychic Wars' as your next Blue Oyster Cult reaction. It's a... hell of a song.

[@brianbayer4078]

This song is definitely one of those most iconic along with Black Blade!

[@jetfowl]

Yes! I second this one!!!

[@munkimoto2294]

Seconded

[@CDeWayneFletcher]

Damn you both are a gift. Love the reactions and the total opposite (at times) opinions on music. I love how Brad is low key almost like a poker player.. and Lex is high key spilling her emotions and interpretations. I can't get over how genuine you both are and not trying to please the masses.. but instead you're who you are. Keep doing it!

[@SRG1966]

Great band, you should check out "Godzilla", "Astronomy", "Shooting Shark", "And Then Came The Last Days Of May"

[@Joolzratbag]

they already did Godzilla ;)

[@michaeltveten8458]

The hippie-caravans of the late 60’s would’ve accepted Lex, with open arms….Lex, isn’t afraid to expose her “human-side”….She’s free from the trappings of society’s “mandates”…..Lex almost always “sees” a brighter side, to a dark condition….👏

[@mattshaw6180]

Try some "Godzilla," "Veteran of the Psychic Wars," "Career of Evil," or "Dominance and Submission" for heavier & darker BOC

[@xaspirate8060]

"Career of Evil" gets little mention in Rock forums et al. but I feel it is one of the more important songs by the group as it kicks off one of the top Rock albums (Secret Treaties) of all time. Not to say it is the best song on the album but it is like a rudderless ship without it.

[@samuelgirard1407]

They reacted to Godzilla. They really liked it. That video should still be up.

[@daveh9335]

ME262

[@simonagree4070]

I'm down with "Career Of Evil". Lyrics by Patti Smith BEFORE she made any records of her own. Kind of weird, thinking about a girl writing "I'd like to do it to your daughter on a dirt road."

[@jimmccue577]

This song is the "intro" to a mixed CD I made for a girlfriend I was dating in 2005...she loved it & would get a little giddy when this song came on & we were together. ❤

[@jack-of-all-trades1234]

Whenever I hear this band I think of their song Don't Fear the Reaper. That song has been in a lot of movies and TV series.

[@jamesanthony8438]

And "Godzilla" =)

[@IanPunter]

I like this song more than "reaper"

[@jadejj7948]

I honestly prefer Both Godzilla and burnin' for you...but hey that's just my opinion

[@BrokenGodEnt]

It's use in "The Stand" tv series set the tone for that show right away.

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

5:46 Blue Öyster Cult is Sci-fi, Horror and Cthulhu. The best songs and sounds that Blue Öyster Cult produced were from the first three albums.

[@anthonyhedberg6471]

Ahhh...the days of my youth. I was fortunate enough to have seen them on the "Black & Blue" tour with Black Sabbath on Oct. 17th 1980. (It was a birthday present to myself.) My favorite line; "Time everlasting, time to play B-sides"...is deeper than deep. Anyway...keep up the good work you crazy kids...love ya! 🤟😊

[@smillstill]

The life on the road and thrill of being in a rock band or living life with passion. The "you" is their audience. "I've seen suns that were freezing and lives that were through" or "the stone not rolling gathers moss."

[@frankrizzo4460]

Wow this one really brings back great memories as a kid back in the early 80s miss those days so much 🤔

[@dunringill1747]

Blue Oyster Cult (formed in 1971) often deals with the darker side of Science Fiction & Fantasy in their lyrics. They are described as being a Progressive Rock Band for Intelligent People. You will want to take a deeper dive into exploring their work from 1971 - 1981 (before their decline from line up changes). Blue Oyster Cult is a very talented Rock band that knows how to structure their songs. On top of that, their lead guitarist is Buck Dharma. It is rumored that Jimmy Page (of Led Zeppelin) was in awe and a little bit intimidated by two other guitarists. One being Buck Dharma, and the other was Martin Barre (of Jethro Tull).

[@Bluenosegrows]

Fun Fact , when B.O.C was really big, they missed playing small clubs, so they had there agent book them as "Soft White Underbelly" and people who show up expecting a some local generic band.. and get to see the BOC in some small bar ..

[@2dashville]

They played at a small club on the west side of Detroit that I used to frequent. Wouldn’t you know it, I didn’t go that night. Fml

[@TracyfromNC]

Love your fun facts!!!

[@charliemac64]

I saw them as SWU in the late 80s at a club in the Bay Area. I knew who they were. ;)

[@karenm7346]

Have always loved this song. They were amazing in concert.

[@robertboyer1086]

The album that this song is from was recorded as a movie soundtrack. The group was asked to do one song for the animated film Heavy Metal, but after seeing an early cut of the film they wrote an entire album. The only song used for the film was the cut Veteran of the Psychic Wars. Which is a really good song and you should give it a listen.

[@nerd0decoder]

Blue oyster cult had its own sound: smooth hard rock.

[@davidosborne6328]

Blue Oyster Cult's musicianship and lyricism was always top notch.

[@hmpz36911]

Check out "Death Valley Nights" for an even moodier, softer side to B.O.C., or "This Ain't The Summer Of Love" for heavier B.O.C.

[@rattfink9]

Oh, Brad. This time you are absolutely speaking my language. Genre fluid, indeed!

[@captaincapitalism264]

This fantastic song was put to good, suspenseful, creepy use in the 2010 horror movie "Let Me In" (Chloe Moretz as a chilling child vampire). A film equal parts surreal, brutal, tragic, and introspective, this BOC song was played over a stretched-out suspenseful part as a haunting contrast to what was happening on screen...excellent choice for an excellent film. I only began to appreciate this song, and BOC's music overall, after learning guitar myself in my 20s. The main solo, and the shorter ones in between the final choruses, are simply awesome.

[@michaelbuhl4250]

8:52 I wonder if Lex is talking about "playing to the band," where regular audience members don't get it but musicians who know about the technical aspects of music are impressed by what a particular musician is doing. There are some musicians who do crazy things with key changes and time signatures and such that make a song difficult to bop your head to but will make other musicians say, "man, how did he do that??? That's incredible!!!"

[@funkster007]

Brad and Lex need to go way deep into the BOC rabbit hole. Totally different sound on those first few albums.

[@MrOkieChef]

BOC used to perform in small clubs around LA in the late 70's - early 80's under the name Soft White Underbelly. Great club band.

[@JohnVanRuiten]

As usual, you two knock it out of the park. How about my favorite BOC song, GODZILLA!! You guys will love it and I think you'll both be laughing! There goes Tokyo!!

[@samuel_towle]

The great thing about BOC is that they have such a varied catalog. If you want easy listening try "In Thee", or "I Love The Night". If you want a more classic rock / progressive sound there is "Burnin' For You", or "Don't Fear The Reaper", or "Shooting Shark", or "Perfect Water". If you want a heavier sound try "Heavy Metal (Black and Silver)", "Shadow Warrior", "I Am The One You Warned Me Of", or "Veteran Of The Psychic Wars", or the entire Imaginos album.

[@scottvanhille5688]

Good band and song! Don't Fear The Reaper was the other popular hit I'm aware of. This was from 1981. "Take Me Away" and "I Love The Night" are some more from them.

[@somersetcace1]

You guys have come such a long way since you started this. Brad is actually beginning to make sense! 🙃BOC is what most would consider basic classic rock, but this particular song is a little more pop rock than classic rock, relatively speaking anyway.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I think you guys totally nailed it with your various comments about this song, it's all of those. I love how well the lyrics in a great with the song structure and the two are symbiotic oh, that's the art of writing a great song and arrangement. And yeah, I loved the reference to the famous Rolling Stone song in the second verse about time. Ain't no time on my side. The Rolling Stones song is, time is on my side. And it's got this insistence feeling of this guy is just on fire for this woman, burn out the day, burn out the night, I don't really care, I'll never have a home anyway and I'm just going to keep burning for you. And they are definitely Rock but yeah voice record has always had that smooth quality about them but you have to understand, this was a very loud band. If you want to get the full effect, why something so smooth can still be Rock, crank it up to your ears bleed in headphones sometime and you still won't get the feeling of being at one of their shows. You can feel the subwoofers punching you in the chest and also they were known for their laser light shows, which was cutting edge technology at the time. For something a little less smooth, and to me one of their greatest songs ever, check out Godzilla. It is so fun!

[@JimiBurleigh]

The thing that attraced my brother Ray (aka "Wizard") to BOC back "in the olden days" was the twin-lead guitars of Eric Bloom and "Buck Dharma" (aka Donald Roeser). We were working out the guitars to "Reaper" when Ray was killed when a druk driver turned left in front of his motorcycle. Rush was our favourite but we loved bands that had that multiple lead guitar sound. "Hotel California" is one that we worked on one entire summer when we were at school (#GoDawgs #GoZags) -

[@simonagree4070]

Huh. That's how I lost a kneecap. Guess I lucked out.

[@robertfindley921]

The lyric "Time to play 'B' sides" refers to playing the less popular (non 'A') side of a 45 record.

[@genebarker3624]

I think you would like Veteran of psychic wars. If possible try the live version from extra terrestrial live

[@ericelander9936]

The definitive version for sure!

[@stevenmatkovich9587]

Try "Veteran of the Psychic Wars", "Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll", "Dominance and Submission" by them. They have a very diverse sound going back to the early 70's. Maybe earlier but I always liked their sound.

[@4tuneagent]

You're right.. BOC can be very smooth when they want to be.. " The Revenge Of the Vera Gemini ", "I Love the Night", "The Vigil", or "Tenderloin " are all pretty smooth. While "E.T.I.(Extra Terrestrial Intelligence)", "Astronomy", "Hot Rails To Hell", or "Black Blade" are definitely on the Heavy side..

[@Mark-xx3gh]

[@xaspirate8060]

Brad said something about playlists or just listen to the album. That's getting at it. Albums were constructed to fit together. Great albums fit best, best songs, best structure, best relationships or moods. Blue Oyster Agents of Fortune is a great album. I would suggest listening to more of it (eg Vera Gemini)

My favorite by BOC was a bit heavier with Cities On Flame (With Rock and Roll)

[@famijher]

And in this song, they make a reference you're probably not familiar with, as it's from the day of 45 records, which were small vinyl records with two songs on them. The main release would be on the A side and would be the song that the record companies would push as a hit. The B side would contain a more throwaway track that was often used to just get people to listen to another song by the artist, to maybe get folks listening to more of their music, since they bought the 45 single anyway, right?

[@Rockon11211]

Highest charting single and album for them. George Martin produced album. More radio friendly album made for the movie "Heavy Metal' but never used but 1 song so released as a BOC album.

BOC is not easy listening lol. They were a hard rock band. Kind of gothic rock too. They have a lot of good songs during the '70s and '80s.

Curious, do yall know what he means when he says, "time to play B-sides"? In to olden days we had vinyl records or cassette tapes that you had to flip over to hear the tracks on the other side. A-side and B-side. Artists usually put their best tracks on the A-side so B-sides were more eclectic and less popular. So you could says that taking time to listen to B- sides was the old version of what yall are doing here and listening to music you're not so familiar with.

Liked your breakdown of the lyrics Brad and Lex, I've been hearing this song my entire life but you gave me a new way to look at it. Or at least a way to express it better.
