The Bouchard brothers are a highly underrated rhythm section, and of course Joe’s famous Godzilla bass solo! Ill check out Joe’s new material.

[@chumpymcchump5024]

I love B.O.C., their new album, etc. But I sure miss Joe and Albert Bouchard, and Allen Lanier (R.I.P.). But I'm happy Joe is working and wish him all the best. 🤘

[@stevenwilkinson1265]

The talent levels in BOC were un-precented in classic rock ... Buck could play guitar, bass, keyboards & drums,, Joe bass & guitar, Allen guitar, bass & keyboards, Eric guitar, keyboards & drums & Albert drums & guitar. They all wrote & four were regular lead vocalists for tracks. Just too rich for the masses ...

[@beefoneeto]

Joe was actually always a keyboard player BEFORE he took up the bass.

[@CaptainBakerJason]

@@beefoneeto yep Joe was principally guitar and piano prior to taking the proto-BÖC bass on in ‘70. 👍🏻

[@raymondroberts8709]

So agree. First heard them in '75 and all these decades later, for me they are the best AMERICAN Rock band. IMO nobody can match their historic catalog. Sorry Doors & Aerosmith!

[@dougplace895]

ERIC BLOOM ALSO PLAYED BASS AND ALBERT PLAYED KEYBOARDS AND JOE PLAYED PIANO 🎹🎹!!

[@HonkyTonkBuffalo]

I've met Joe a couple times after shows with this band Blue Coupe (With his brother Albert and former Alice Cooper bassist Dennis Dunaway.) and he's always been incredibly nice and approachable and very giving with his time. Never turning away a autograph or a picture. Great guy and I wish him well and luck with his new album. :D

[@RockmonsterX]

One of the nicer people on the planet.

[@gerryk3114]

HonkyTonkBuffalo Met Dennis at my friend (Ratso’s Gig) and the Bouchard Brothers Many Times (ex family member worked for them) !

[@ntotrr8585]

I met Joe after an Ian Hunter gig at the Bowery Ballroom many years ago. Really nice guy.

[@jbmcheney23]

I took guitar lessons from him at my school

[@stevehaye]

the bouchard brothers were the heart and soul of boc. they became a cover band of themselves when the brothers left..

[@65boogerbutt]

Shame Revolution by Night didn't do better. Great tunes on there and Shooting Shark is one of my favorite BOC songs!

[@cosmictom5255]

Ironically Joe didn't play bass on that song. It was Randy Jackson.

[@harmonicres]

Agree an underrated and amazing track that was shunned probably because it incorporates...technology!

[@TheEWFX29]

Yeah that album and especially that song is very underrated.

[@brentkrohn4731]

I'm a long time devoted BOC fan. For me revolution by night started out great with take me away then fell flat. Shooting shark is a decent tune but the rest of side one didn't really inspire. Side two is okay especially feel the the thunder. But it just seemed like they were missing something. Maybe they should have stayed with Martin Birch.

[@Forferdelse666]

Id argue (after listening my way up from the debut album to their recent ones in 1998/2001) that Revolution by night is one great album with no bad tracks on it. I first heard Shooting shark, and then the mighty Take me away.. Quickly followed by feel the thunder, shadow over California and let go.. Also Eyes on fire and Dragon lady have great feel to them. If anything, Veins and Shooting shark are the weakest ones on the album, I think.

[@bluedream9668]

Buck Dharma is the Jeff Beck of Hard Rock. Joe and Albert were super cool. The best of BOC days. 7 screamig diz busters and the harvester of eyes took my baby away....fixed and consequent.

[@ntotrr8585]

Buck Dharma one of the most amazing guitarists ever? Absolutely!

[@OriginalSamClark]

Agents of Fortune is one of my favourite albums of all time, not one bad track!

[@elfman5176]

Check out the new Agents of Fortune DVD and The Live Cleveland show Brand new DVD’s Excellent Quality

[@joelee5875]

I'm always surprised that no one ever seems to mention the incredible bass line to Moon Crazy and the bass and lead out at the end of the song as it rather trails off, (in the most magnificent fashion) not to mention the drums are tight also, I never get tired of listening to it as it is just so badass. Joe Bouchard is also so underrated. He is one of the very best of all time.

[@38bass]

Among the Squire’s and Lee’s and Dave Holland’s of the world, Joe is one of my most fundamental influences as a bassist. Solid as a fucking rock. ❤️‍🔥

[@bluedream9668]

Joe is killer. So is his drummer bro who wrote me once "Drums are the foundation of music!" True! I met them during the Cultasaurus Erectus tour. Really cool guys and smart.

[@billyrossi4661]

I love blue oyster cult.. The godfathers of American heavy metal..Saw them around 74..🎸🔊👍🙂

[@captainh3831]

74'.....you must be old af.

[@gerryk3114]

HEY JOE, ONE OF THE NICEST MEMBERS OF BOC !!! YOU ARE LOOKING GOOD AND HEALTHY !!! SAY HEY TO YOUR BROTHER FOR ME !!

[@aschule5684]

Joe and Albert were SO important to the magic of what BÖC was, both great singers and song writers and musicians, just go back and watch a live version of "Golden Age Of Leather" with Allen Joe and Albert still in the band to fully understand how much they gave to that band and then watch a newer version😔 but I still love them today and am pretty excited for "The Symbol Remains" I'd love to see Buck and Eric bring back Joe and Albert once again before its to late. Long live BÖC🤘🏻

[@scarpin80]

Buck Dharma is far from under rated to anyone who understands music. Best of blessings JB.

[@hinjurock70]

He actually is pretty underrated, especially in the 80's when flashy metal guitarists were getting all the attention.

[@elfman5176]

Joe was an excellent musician from a phenomenal band

[@KAndrew636]

Joe was one of the unsung leaders of BOC! Wrote a number of their songs and sang on the first three albums!

[@bobkeen2138]

Their music used to breathe and swing with the Bouchard brothers. First few albums were kinda psychobilly punk acid jazz. Unprecedented originality. Oh yeah , and Eric blooms vibrato have it a sorta masochistic lounge vibe. Haha Brilliant!

[@dominiqueberard1275]

Look at this smile on his face ! That tells a lot about the guy. Great artist and great human beeing, and so is his brother Albert. Bouchards Rock !

[@raymondroberts8709]

Lifelong Cult fan and have seen Blue Coupe several times. Joe was paying attention all those years in BOC because he nails it on the solos and otherwise! Joe is a consummate guitarist in his own right. Go see Blue Coupe if you're lucky enough to get the chance!

[@nickcharles396]

Great interview! Btw, LOVE that shirt, John!

[@mcbigswig1569]

Love the current members, but would love to see Joe and Albert reunite with BOC. (Richie could stay to cover Allen's parts).

[@chijim108]

Fantastic interview with Joe. BOC is the best. Can't wait for more!

[@tinostabile3256]

Hi John, Such an incredible band I don't think it is a coincidence that after he left they were not the same . Such classic songs Don't Fear the Reaper, Burnin' For You, Godzilla.... and so many, many more. Ah BOC.... such an iconic band and unfortunately always in the shadow the Purples, the Zeps of this world... all due respect to those incredible bands, God bless and keep well, Tino

[@gigly235]

This guy Joe Boucard is a legend. From the 40's to the 80's there were so many talented people in the music business of the USA and B.O.C were one band of them. Then probably video and rap shut them all up.

[@zeusdavenport393]

I first got into BOC when I was 13 years old in 1981 with Burnin' for You. I have to echo and amplify Joe B's take on his bandmate Buck Dharma being a phenomenal and underrated (I would say undermentioned) guitar player. I started playing bass in 1999 as a 29 year old with a VHS of Joe teaching some of the BOC basslines. My favorite band of my teen years and always in my top 10. Fire of Unknown Origin is a desert island album for sure!

[@joeguy5989]

Thanks for letting me know about Joe's album.

[@_stardust62]

I saw the boys in 79...love their early stuff ✊🤘✌️

[@richardjohnson3089]

Take Me Away was a great song on Revolution by Night. Why don't they play it live anymore?? That album was good!!

[@brianfergus839]

In the mid ‘90s I was at a party when I met Klaus Fluoride. We found common ground with our mutual great appreciation for Joe Bouchard. I learned a ton about playing bass in the ‘70s by imitating JB - playing over cult lps 👍

[@dibber43]

Great to see you, JB!!!😎👍 BOTH of you!!!😁

[@RockHistoryMusic]

More to come!

[@AudiophileTommy]

Love ALL your videos !! Thanks!👍❤️

[@RockHistoryMusic]

Thanks Tommy.

[@gregggoss2210]

RIP Martin Birch.

[@billyz5088]

Always figured Allen Lanier was the 2nd best guitar player in BÖC - but maybe it was Joe !!

[@davidwood1923]

Keep Up the Great Work... Brother

[@genesound]

Joe was awesome in BOC. Irreplaceable IMO. I learned bass with the black and white albums when they were new! I'm still working on some of em!

[@akrocuba]

BOC FOREVER!! Awesome interview

[@thesaneparty4079]

Spectres, from '77 featuring every song on the fucking album. It's every bit as good as Dark Side of the Moon.

[@jsteed44]

Cultasaurus erectus is my favourite BOC

[@brentkrohn4731]

You Rock Joe! Love Blue Coupe.

[@1125ryan1]

Joe...you rock!!!

[@driven9863]

Love::: Golden Age of Leather. Revenge of Vera Gemini This ain't Summer of Love

[@TheBhannah]

I think Joe wrote the great piano part in Joan Crawford

[@SuperWalshBros]

Morning Final is a classic!

[@rubicon-oh9km]

Their best song in my opinion.

[@Modafinil]

I also like Revolution by Night very, very much.

[@badmonkey2222]

Joe was a bigger part of BOCs sound than most people ever will know. And you left out many more albums he played on, Joe didn't leave until the mid 90s

[@theirishhammer9451]

Joe left in 1986

[@clementesoto5739]

I always woundered what happened to the Bouchard brothers.

[@janandd1]

Go Joe !

[@Mukundanghri]

Is Buck Dharma Krishna das? Because Krishna das has talked about BOC as a band he played in or walked away from.

[@7piecebucket]

Krishna das was BOC's first vocalist, I believe, when the group went by the name Soft White Underbelly back in 1967. He was known as Jeff Kagel back then.

[@markschafer8275]

BOC are the best

[@HELLH0WND]

We all know it's because of creative differences involving the cowbell.

[@richardirvin2432]

I always wondered why that being said they still don't sound right with out his voice

[@roblawhorne1015]

Godzilla? OH, NO! AAAIIIEEE!

[@ericking4072]

IS THIS A VERY CURRENT INTERVIEW?🤔🤔

[@RockHistoryMusic]

Yes from a month ago...that's why we are doing promo for his new album. He talk about the new album in this clip. It's out July 31.

[@ericking4072]

Joe Is God

[@roblawhorne1015]

Next week, please ask him about the cowbell. I want to see the eye-roll and watch the balloon drop for the millionth time he's heard it!
