I just realized that I have never seen Eric Bloom without sunglasses.

Most of their best songs , get no airplay . I'm glad I have my records 😊

I’m turning 23 in October. I’m a huge BOC fan. If they aren’t in my top 5 they are easily in my top 10. They have no bad albums, such a fantastic band. Can’t wait for the new album. Gonna try to get it the day it comes out.

My Heart is Black & my Lips are Cold, 2020 is on Flame with Rock & Roll!!!

"The imperfections in music are part of the charm for me." - YES! YES! YES! We've been listening to robots making music for 30 years or more. That's all some people have ever known. Bring back the human. Every performance is something unique and special to be cherished.

23 and they are my favorite band. Saw them in Vegas and just noticed something when listening to there music! Their song "Shadow of California" has a lyric that says, "The symbol remains!" Which is their new album name 🔥

Been a BOC fan for 40 years and shared my love of BOC with my son who is now the biggest 18 year old BOC fan! He's seen BOC with me 5 times so far and we are going to see them in February 2021 (God willing!). He is a freshman in college and proudly wears his BOC t-shirts around the campus! Can't wait for the new album, already pre-ordered the CD and vinyl!!

The greatest band of all time! These guys need to be cloned, so they can continue for another 50 years. I am 55 and I have loved BÖC since childhood and will love them until I am no more. BLUE OYSTER CULT FOREVER!!!!!!

This'll be my first album from BOC I'll be alive for and I can't wait

This is amazing news, the symbol will always remain for me ! Its tattooed on my arm.

It’s a great record. So glad Danny back on bass. Calgary Alberta August 2000 was amazing show...

What a year for BOC! Love the new DVD releases, thanks for opening up the video vaults for your KZfaq channel and looking forward to hearing your first new tunes in decades. Great time to be a BOC fan, thanks for the interview!

I can't friken wait! So excited!

Really enjoyed that interview! Unlike many of their contemporaries, BOC did not let their egos kill the band. I look forward to seeing them again and hope they get back on the road soon.

This is a great straight up Rock album, start to finish. Im really enjoying it.

Boy I just can’t wait!!! BÖC is absolutely my favorite band!!!

Glad to see Blue Öyster Cult back in business for real with new album, new live-stuff!

We are waiting for you in France! We love your music! I'm so gratefull for all these emotions you gave me! All these incredible dreams....

Love these guys, they've always been such an important part of my musical life, so often when I pick up my guitar I'll start playing "Cities On Flame" or the riff in "Stairway To The Stars" or "Godzilla" or "ETI" lol when they broke into the music scene back in the early 70's I was already being submerged in Zeppelin Sabbath an Deep Purple so I wasn't terribly familiar with em yet, "On Your Feet Or On Your Knees" was my intro to this band then 76 rolled around and "Agents Of Fortune" hit, it was the perfect music at the perfect time, thousands of us pot smoking teenagers under the hypnotic spell of "Don't Fear The Reaper" at the same time😳 it was when I started paying attention to them a bit more and they soon became a valuable piece of my musical arsenal. Great music for me was always like reading a great book or watching a great movie and these guys were defiantly like a great "Twilight Zone" episode or Stephen King novel or something. They had the mystique while keeping the relate ability of life as we all knew it. Although Buck and Eric keep the flame burning for them there was something even more magical about the presence of Allen Joe and Albert that just made this band. The vocal strength and song writing of that bands uniqueness is unmatched today. Although even in their absence Buck and Eric still carry enough of their sound and talent to continue on today (thanks guys) even albums that may not have drawn a lot of attention for whatever reason. If you're a true fan of what this band is and about you know as I do "there is no such thing as a "bad BÖC ALBUM"' listen to "Harvest Moon"' "Damaged" "X Ray Eyes" "the Real World" or anything for that matter on (Heaven Forbid) and tell me that's not a badass album, or "The Old Gods" or "Stone of Love" or anything off "Curse" and tell me it's bad. If your a fan of these guys you love what they do because your one of the "chosen" because "you get it" and I'm certain like myself you're thrilled to know "The Old Gods Return" October 9 2020 with a new chapter in the rock roll bible and "The Symbol Remains"🤘🏻

Welcome back mates. A BIG hello from France. We love you. Can't wait for this new record.

Can't wait to buy the new album. New video is great!

Love these guys... can't wait to see them in Belle Vernon PA 🤘🤘🤘....The Symbol Remains...in the Shadow of California 🤘😜🤘

I absolutely love the new album ~ one of the very few bright shining stars in a dark sky of the year 2020

These guys are in their 70's and still burning.

Get the new album it's bloody fantastic! And while you're at it get a copy of curse of the hidden mirror. I've been jamming on on that one since I placed my order for the vinyl of the symbol remains. Classic Blue oyster cult. It's a shame it didn't sell more. Just think of the boc albums we've could have had in the last 19 years. The symbol remains makes up for the silence.

It's been a long wait but I am stoked for new material. I have seen them live 8 times and they NEVER disappoint. Still wear my favorite tour short I picked up at one of the shows that says 'on tour forever' and that is a sentiment I support

PLEASE....PLEASE........PLEASE.....Im almost 60 years of age....I know this is a seemingly impossible request....due to the conditions and circumstances of life.....I was just a young teenager....Portland Oregon....Veterans Memorial Coliseum.....British Lyons....UFO and BLUE OYSTER CULT.....Michael Schenker was captivating and intoxicating........PLEASE......PLEASE.....OH PLEASE....JUST ONE MORE TIME.....when life gets back to normal again....ONE MORE ARENA TOUR.....I WANT SO MUCH TO SEE ERIC SHOOT LASERS AT THAT DISCO BALL AGAIN....PLEASE ......ONE MORE TIME......I thought.....since Drive in Movies came out of the grave as our new Rock Concert Arena choice...WHICH IS REALLY COOL.....maybe you can get people to put reflective material on the roof of their cars....LIKE MYLAR....and Eric can shoot lasers at that disco ball....and then those lasers will bounce all over creation....I THINK WE GOT SOMETRHING THERE.....ONE MORE TIME.....PLEASE

I'm so happy they're putting out a new album! BOC are my favorite band ever. 🙂❤🍻👍🎶

Great interview. Saw them many many times in California. One of the hardest working bands in Rock.

First saw BOC back in 75, been a big fan ever since.

I've seen them in 1000 seaters to open air stadiums. One of my favorite bands to see live.

BOC is so much more than "Don't Fear the Reaper" Can't wait for the new album!

Thanks Eric and Buck... Looking Forward to the New Album/Music. Keep Up the Great Work. RIP Allen

I never get bored listening to boc. They are rock gods to me love these guys can’t wait for the new cd to come out

Saw em' live in 2019. Great show, love these guys.

It was released today. I am really impressed with it!

Thank You Ken for many many more HAPPY HEALTHY years ROCKIN Q104.3 new yorks CLASSIC ROCK....and ROCKIN TIKI!!!!📻🇺🇸📻

The current line - up RULES !

My bro's and I saw BOC way back in early 80's in Isla Vista (UCSB college town) at an old Bank of America. At the time we worked at a stain glass shop and my brother Doug had fashioned a BEVELED GLASS PYRAMID that hinged open to reveal the BOC SYMBOL SAND BLASTED INTO THE MIRROR base. Doug's been gone for some years now, but he loved BOC so much and we had seen them many many times starting in the mid 70's. I remember how excited he was to get that BOX IN THE HAND of Buck, and I think Eric had a hold of it at one point. Does anyone remember THE GLASS BEVELED PYRAMID with the Kronos symbol MIRRORED BASE in your hand? Thanks BOC...

Seeing them again in February. As long as they're playing i'm going to see them. 😁🤘

Yes, a new album and one of the best albums in the history of Rock. Can't get enough of this powerhouse record!

Wow Guys I saw the info on youtube this morning, it blowed away my head and gave an eternal smile on my face. My favorite Band's new album almost can't believe it is FCKIN GREAT to hear! Thank You!

I'd buy an album of them playing kazoos

This is the biggest gift from Santa this year.....

16:55 I guess Ken Dashow never heard of Blue Coupe? They play more than just BÖC songs, but Joe and Albert Bouchard are very much BÖC. They wrote and sang 1/4 of the songs at one time. It took me 40 years and a pandemic to appreciate their contribution to the band.

Great interview...They sound as good as ever.

I love this band

Legends.

Your new album is amazing. Every track is a hit. I was beginning to think that the magic was lost to formulated commercial hit factories.

Hopefully we will see the in the UK next October (2021) touring with Deep Purple.

As you stated 8 hrs. doesn't go by without "Don't Fear the Reaper" and "Burning for You" being played on any rock station in America. Shame on the radio stations for not playing more of BOC's songs, and I doubt that the radio stations will play anything off the new album no matter how good it is. For some reason, Blue Oyster Cult Continues To Be Ignored By American Radio .

Love how Buck casually has his old Deluxe and the white Strat and SG in the background

My GodS ...... B.O.C. still a badass band to date !!! Can't wait to get this beautiful baby !!!! GOOOOOOOOO BLUE OYSTER CULT FOREVER !!!!!

Love you guys. Come to Chicago!

i predict some of the songs noone has heard yet like "the Alchemist" will become radio classics such a cool album that has a flow vibe creepy complex intelligent stellar lyrics !! bravo Perfection !!! fell in love with it first listen about half way thru then i just went on a journey TY WE WAITED LONG TIME AND YOU ALL MADE A MASTERPIECE FOR THE AGES

Michael Moorcock's Elric saga also helped with Black Blade, etc. Hell, I named one of my son's Elric Taubin Mark Birchette. Long Live the Blue Oyster Cult ! Thanks to all of you great interview ! Also, damn straight the album art was part of the whole experience. Saving up all my change just to buy especially new B.O. C. I still have All my albums from 6th grade till they quit making them, in mint shape. All my tour shitts, the Ole baseball jersey shirt. Awesome time to be alive.

Thank You Ken for ALWAYS A INTELLIGENT....INSIGHTFUL SHOW and AWSOMEST GUESTS!!!!....ON104.3!!!!....Doc is ROCKIN A REALLY GREAT SHOW as i post....🙂📻🙂

I got a tattoo of Blue Oyster Cult symbol in 1977 when I was in boot camp I was drunk and the guy that did it reverse the symbol cant erase it big mistake🎸😁

great new songs guys, hope you come over the the UK again soon.

Welcome to The Blue Oyster Cult Renaissance:)

These are the best of the best. Ooh la la!😅

I HAVE BEEN A FAN FOR 40 YEARS!!!!!!!!

new album blows my mind you need to play "the Alchemist" "Stand and Fight "

I Love These Guy's and Their Music... Thanks for Sharing

GREAAAAAT!!! YEAHHHH!!! Thank you guys, you are amazing!!!

B.O.C. is AMAZING. The new album is great. I have been listening to it for days.

Stephen King actually cites H.P. Lovecraft as one of his biggest influences.

This is so amazing. Saw the interview on Wings of Pegasus. Nice job guys . Beautiful job.

I Wish Mick Ronson was still alive and could produce and play on this album. Buck and Mick are in a league of there own.

If you have a decent rock station in your area lets request some new BOC AirPlay They deserve it

I've walked a path of darkness just to open up my mind I've learned of hidden secrets scattered through the depths of time And at my father's side I witnessed things I can't describe "They must be evil!" the people cried So when the prince went missing and the mob was at our door The king would not see reason, only vengeance, only war My father's neck held in his grip until he was no more But the prince was still alive And I said May never a noble of your murderous line Survive to reach a greater age than thine Because I'm the Alchemist creator of your fears I'm the Sorcerer a curse throughout the years And I won't rest till no one's left The ending of your line Their lives are a prison of my design Through the generations they'd forgotten of my vow But still my will be done, my curse stays stronger even now A tragic fall, a fatal brawl, all accidents each time Oh why must the young kings die? May never a noble of your murderous line Survive to reach a greater age than thine It was I, the Alchemist creator of their fears It was I, the Sorcerer a curse throughout the years You won't escape your tragic fate The ending of your line Your life is a prison of my design The final king's obsession to escape impending doom Reached beneath the castle walls where he chanced upon a room and there he found his enemy, the man who cheated death And I said, with my last breath It was I, the Alchemist creator of your fears It was I, the Sorcerer. I've waited all these years And when you pass you'll be the last A victim of your line Your life was a prison of my design I'm the alchemist, I've lived a dozen lives I'm the sorcerer, the face of your demise And from these walls, I've made you all believe this curse of mine The engineer of all you fear, the terror in your mind I've sacrificed eternal life for justice for the crime Our lives were a prison of my design

I love you guys!

Looking forward to hearing the new record...

Never get tired of any of the cults music..all great..no crap..

So exciting!!!

Great new album! BOC FOREVER!!!! Great interview! Thanks!!

🎸 in Houston,TX October 2020!

The magic, the mystery, the myth..... LIVES!

Both down to earth nice guy's

blue öyster cult, we love you!

If you know Eric tell him cannot buy the new vinyl in Uk at moment- can’t wait to get my hands on a copy. Loving the album on Spotify but want to support the artist

BOC in 2020.... awesome album... hope there's going to be more....

Hey Ken why do you only play Don't Fear the Reaper, Burning For You, and Godzilla...

Germany loves BÖC 🎸🎆😊

Love you guys you are the best forever

I have always wanted to let the Boys from blue OSTER COLT thank you for having other people play WITH them because I have played WITH the Drummer Chad Hogges and the Bassist from molly Hackett. I have never done anything like that in my life and to be put on the spot like I was but they were TALKING about going BACK on the road but WITH a different sound. More like something New and when I played guitar for them they TOLD me that they will help me by playing Drums and Bass on singing to. The sound is epic and the song that I PLAYED was my own. IT'S a story about the silver TITAN in the Gladiator times when a king had put all the slaves and animals on to ships on a lake and now they call it the lake of blood.

BOC ABSOLUTE FRIGGIN LEGENDS

whoooo!!! I am tempted to run through a BOC show dressed like GODZILLA! WITH A Cowbell!! WAXX TRAXX TO THE MAXX ON WUSB.FM NY

It’s their best album. Saw them 3 weeks ago.

Hobart Reunion!

"We certainly have made our peace with the cowbell." 🤣 A-fucking-MEN.

One good thing about all of this "corona virus quarantine" bullshit is that it has forced a lot of older bands who always seem to be on endless "classic hits tours" to get back into SOME type of "studio environment" and create new music out of what I guess would be sheer boredom and frustration. May this be a VERY contagious condition!!!

Musicians Against Multiple Sclerosis@ Salutes you MWM

Boc great band.

I just wrote this in some chanel: (i do not even know if it is legal) Bloody underrated group, bloody underrated records. Listening to this, i am bloody questioning if bloody Secret Treaties is their bloody best record. Bloody hell. Bloody cheers from bloody Brazil. (the record in question was BOC 1972) Or should i say: (the bloody record in question was bloody BOC 1972)

Don't Fear the Reaper will be played at my funeral

BOC: much more than cowbell

Yet the problem here is that none of these classic rock stations ever play new music by these bands. It's utterly pathetic. Never need to hear these songs again, great as they are. I want new music.

Dig It...

BOC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
