| Don't fear the Reaper was on "Agents of Fortune" (1976) . This is
widely available and is being constantly reprinted , so you should
be able to get a copy PA .
I missed an album . Imaginos , the most recent . I probably missed
another one or two aswell

| 539.3 | What else do you like??? | BREW11::OCOY | No Scotoma's here | Thu Nov 23 1989 12:19 | 19 |
| Thanks....
I'm gonna take your list and run to my nearest record shop (Andy
Cash), and buy the lot.....
I managed to see B.O.C. in Oxford at a little dive place, they were
supported by Girls School (I think(?)-who were dreadful), but B.O.C.
were excellent. That was ages ago now, I bought Tyranny etc. before
the concert - to get some idea of the music, and I've been converted
ever since....
Have they got any dates lined up???? Sorry for not replying sooner,
I couldn't get in....
Speak to you soon...

| I don't know when BOC will be touring again - haven't seen anything
in the music press for a while . In fact the last time I saw them
was back in 1985 in Bristol , but the excellent concert was rather
spoiled for me as i split with my girlfriend on that night .
I saw them before that at the Hammersmith Odeon , where they were
brilliant . Must rank in the top ten of concerts I've seen . Others
include Marillion , Hawkwind , Blackfoot , and =gasp= Garry Glitter

| Blue Oyster Cult were the first band I went to see ... there I've said it. Guess
who the support band were, none other than JAPAN.

| Why is it so bad to admit - they're a great rock band .

I saw B�C at Hammy-O earlier this year and they proved that they are
indeed still a great band. Trouble is, not many people outside
HEAVY_METAL would admit to that.

| Do people consider them a heavy metal band then ?
I've always thought of them as just a rock band , there are very
few heavy metal songs as such in their repertoire , OK there's their
cover of Born To Be Wild , which is excellent , and probably a few
hard tracks on each album . Maybe their subject matter has always
been close to heavy metal , but there is such a variety in the
treatment of the songs . For Example :
Mirrors - Almost Gary Numanish
Blue Oyster Cult , especially , is almost psychidelic
Cultosaurus Erectus - the Heaviest album , but nearer to Hawkwind
or Grateful Dead than anything
Agents of Fortune - some of this is pure "pop"
Overall , then , I would say no way are they a heavy metal group
( I hate that term anyway ) , but they are definitely a great rock
band .

I'm not much of a fan of the term "Heavy Metal", but what the hell,
it's convenient and widely used. I used to prefer the term rock, but
his seem to have broadened in popular use to include all sorts of
popular music.
Suffice to say that B�C are not an archetypal HM band, but fall within
the range of music covered by the HEAVY_METAL conference (they're not
all 'eadbangers in there, you know).

| William Burroughs had the term 'Heavy Metal' in one of his books in the
sixties, I believe this is where it came from. If memory serves, the
term was first used to describe The Byrds!

| RE. a couple back
This is probably the only time you're allowed to shout, but I think you should
say "ALL-IN-1". Apparently, in front of customers, this is important for all
sorts of silly trademark laws.
