Personally I always thought he was one of the best guitarists to ever grace the rock arena. When I was re-listening to a lot of BOC stuff for my journal, I was even more amazed at just how great he was and he always looked damn good in that white suit.

Indeed! I've tried learning quite a few obscure BoC tunes over the years and a lot of it is fairly complex. Not in the chord structuring but in the nuances of his articulation. Have you checked out Bucks' solo stuff?

I didn't even know that he'd done a solo album or if I did I'd forgotten. As for his guitar work that you talk about above, I'll take your word for it as I hardly know one end of a guitar from another. But your explanation of 'nuances of articulation' is something that I can definitely pick up when listening to BOC.

A fairly simple and good example of this would be the opening/main riff on Don't Fear the Reaper. As a modified A chord it's simple but his articulation on the G string while walking the E and A strings is simple and effective.

I can remember as a teen listening to BOC prior to getting picked up by my Girlfriend and her parents who I was staying with over the weekend. Tranny And Mutation was the album.........Memories those 7am Summer memories I still love you Carliss where ever you are.

Well Blue Oyster Cult could slip through the cracks just as easily as Spirit or Foghat for that matter would. A couple of hits on those top 500 count downs and then off into the I've never heard of them bind for the casual music listener.........
