The guy in the back holding the guitar was Awesome! 😁

[@davidhaney1394]

his voice is actually as good as the rest of them , he`s a great musician

[@numv2]

He wrote the song

[@blackfender100]

He has played with Blue Oyster Cult for years.Richie costellano

[@sermuns]

Wrong dude, he means the one to the left behind everyone.

[@jland12]

I felt he overplayed it a bit

[@napalmkaoss1436]

Oh wow ! Now the guys behind the keys doubles up as a drummer on their other song projects. A group of multi talented musicians

[@peanutbutter4829]

you just made a 60 year old man remember his youth!!! Thanks! Great Job!!!!

[@mbahdholdhol7473]

i'm 20 Y.o and i feel old 🤣

[@JuanGarnicaVera]

Isn't it weird that Rock and roll nowadays is an old people thing when in its time was a teenager nightmare for our parents?

[@glyphs3]

Brings back a lot of memories. Saw them live 4 times. The boys would be proud of you all.

[@gsd4me00]

The mother of all garage bands.

[@jrock2264]

Switching from acoustic to bass without missing a beat was excellent!

[@matchergui766]

I really don't know how this man can play the bass and sing like this at the same damn time ! great ! *-*

[@SuyashChaklan]

I do that

[@michaelkaus8128]

@@SuyashChaklan USED to do it too. Have to really switch your mind when you switch

@@michaelkaus8128 yeahhhh brother!!! Although it's all a matter of practice

[@MarcusRefusius]

Look up the version he did of Bohemian Rhapsody. He plays ALL the parts and Sings them all too! PLUS he mixed it and created the Video. I’ve chatted with Richie a couple times at BOC Shows. Really nice guy. He’s into Martial Arts as well. Very talented guy. He sings lead on three of the songs on the new Blue Oyster Cult Album “The Symbol Remains”

[@agarraloquivenga1924]

If they manage to escape from that basement, they'll be famous!

[@ahall8908]

I was lucky to see Led Zeppelin in concert at the LA Forum back in the 70's. This is a great cover. ❤🎸Great job guys!!!

[@MrPeterhemm]

I saw them there too, the acoustics were awful at that place, but they ROCKED!

[@michaeltutnichts-zursache8258]

I listened to this song for the first time when I was a twelve year old boy. Now I'm 53 and I still shiver when I hear the guitar solo. Thanks to you, guys, for sharing that one with me. Well done! Greatings from Germany, Michael

[@mrz80]

It even affects Zep that way. When Heart played the song at the Kennedy Center Honors show, Page was grinning like a truant schoolboy and Plant was bawling his eyes out. It was awesome.

[@jonathanbernardestavares]

I love Richie at 03:08 giving the drummer his cue, like, he's so worried the drummer won't step in on time... It made me laugh a lot 😂😂Actually, when playing this song, I am the drummer who always falls asleep waiting for my time to start playing

[@rizalomar4377]

spot on!😅

[@djm4457]

I am floored you even attempted to cover this iconic giant of a song, let alone do such a wonderful job with it. Deepest respect, everyone......

[@topshonuff]

The guitar checks out. The drums checks out. The vocals check out. Great Job.

[@leefreed2060]

Excuse me while I pick up my jaw off the floor. Holy mother of God. Perfect way to end my Monday. WOW!!!!

[@blackfender100]

Holy SHHHHH unreal Job by the whole Band Great vocals Richie !

[@thechahal]

So much fun watching you guys do your thing! Love it!

[@geronimostade8279]

The geek should have a few million subscribers. cant understand! I love it

[@billwren5033]

why? its just an over-glorified cover band.

[@moresnare]

@@billwren5033 Seems like it would be an 'over-glorified cover band' if they actually had a few million subscribers...

[@arthurpendragon7224]

Blown away by this band.

[@leningchavez5730]

i just can't imagine the wives of these guys sitting just outside the door having a cup of tea in a quiet conversation while these dudes make a rock concert in their headphones

[@tmac8892]

The wives jam with them.

[@buysilver7387]

Awesome job the guy in the purple shirt is my sons music teacher he’s a great dude, extremely talented band very refreshing

[@cbbgenki4315]

I listen to your sessions every time I’m on the road. Thank you and rock on

[@fabiohana7530]

There's still time to change the road you're on

[@adrianiacob1991]

You are dangerous for my health ... I could barely get myself off KZbin because of you guys . Rock never dies...

[@kylemc8851]

Man, you have a killer voice dude!

[@mrz80]

He definitely wins the Ann Wilson Trophy for doing a better Robert Plant than Robert Plant :D :D :D

[@alleykattmullins945]

Thats one badass drummer. !!! Good job on this song guys.

[@coldacre]

ALLEY KATT MULLINS a badass drummer wouldn’t have needed the bass player to guide him through the bridging part that’s right before the solo. at 4:40 they drop an entire beat and come in too early.

[@cygnus53]

I liked the drummer. Awesome chops. Bonzo would be proud. Especially using a small electronic practice set.

[@BCDanno63]

They aren’t all that practicey ... They’re quite sophisticated and can be one monstrous tool to a good drummer...

[@artysanmobile]

Richie, you never cease to amaze me. Singing Robert’s part and playing accompaniment is quite a handful. Awesome job.

[@stephenjones6472]

I got goosebumps too.....................mission accomplished my friends!

[@andrewbrowne7431]

Gday mate. Love all your work and all the songs from Melbourne, Australia. Wish I’d found this channel ages ago but hooked now.

[@JawTooth]

wow, I wish I could play half that good!

[@ThePaulmirto]

I know mama and pappa c are on that stairway smiling...rip . Friggin awesome.. iam a big fan of band geeks and the Castellano family/ bath music . I never heard this until today

[@edisonmirandilla7017]

When the deep Bass starts rolling and mixed with the chorus... that was the most beautiful part. The Roland Electronic Drums has a very excellent sound, mix with the Bass, Guitar licks and riffs, the Organ part sounds as beautiful as the original.Band Geeks Pro Band !!

[@avlisk]

Randy California gives this one a thumbs up!

[@attilavonnahodyl2405]

Just great...and Geek Podcast, you have a new friend & fan in Germany, Thank you.....

[@dreamwalker3698]

Good grief Richie, you are a chameleon. Love all the talent in this band!!!

[@jamoncure]

Richie, you’re just awesome, dude! Cant wait to hear you play and sing with BOC on Sunday at Maryland Hall in Annapolis MD with BLUE OYSTER CULT!

[@JTHeidrick]

Great version, like all of your stuff. The tempo is just a smidge fast, and it would be really cool if you made it speed up just like on the mid point of the original Zep recording.

[@Ozzylovemusic]

Fantastic! You guys just make the memories came back all over again. Really appreciate this man... Thank you!

[@annapooranikannan8674]

Led zeppelin would be proud brother

[@muchtarrachmatnasser7377]

[@eggman1978]

You all did a great job thumbs up, I'm taking my hat off to the drummer here though

[@PunchCardReader]

Seriously pretty tune, powerfully done. 💪🏻

[@relicofgold]

You've got a proper Squir-arian bass treatment here. Can't compliment you enough on that. And once again the cleanliness of the recording is stunning. OH god........I see you do the Abbey Road Medley cover. Must go now.

[@valentinokuresa6483]

The year is 2021 and These guys are untouchable in covering such an iconic masterpiece of a song

[@realaquarian]

Your band is sensational! Do you do road trips? How long have you been together? You should be playing on a stage somewhere. Wow, I'm just blown away!
