Thank you, George, for giving us this gift. I remember when you explained on your channel a few years back that a special project was in the works. It's great to see it come to fruition.
I’m a 12 year old girl and literally am crazy about everything BÖC. They inspire me everyday and Buck has blown my mind as a beginner guitarist. He is a mastermind… Eric Bloom and his sense of humor always make me smile too, and his vocals have sent me away from every single song especially sang in, from the 70’s till now. I am so happy they are still touring, because it is a dream of mine to see my two biggest role models in person while they’re still here. Love you guys, wish I coulda been here sooner 🤘 UPDATE! I WENT AND SAW THEM FOR THE 13th BIRTHDAY AND BUCK GAVE ME TWO PICKS AND CHRIS GAVE ME 1 TOO AHHH
As a lifelong fan its been hard to watch a new guy in the band but pulling this together. Joe and Albert back in the mix wow. Thank you Richie Castellano for breathing life into my favorite band.
Ritchie joining B.O.C. was like watching a personal fantasy come true! The way he energized EVERYTHING was a joy to behold. The caliber of 'Symbol' in the discography is testament to the power and longevity of the music past present and FUTURE.
Great narrative and a cool opportunity to understand what goes on in the kitchen. Richie has been an incredible addition to the band for his versatility, songwriting, and supreme nerd skills. Renaissance Man!
I have followed George for a few years, Absolutely enjoying his TH-cam releases from the BOC Vault!... but now US Fans can have the final chapter with Ghost Stories! Bravo!!!
I was amazed in 1972 when I heard Cities on Flame, and after 31 times in concert (soon to be 32, I hope), BOC "STILL" is my # 1 rock and roll band! They NEVER disappoint!!!!
I have really enjoyed watching Richie work his way up through the ranks of the band, over the years. And now, he delivers such blistering guitars to the Live shows ! Although Albert, Joe, and Allen are no longer in the band, I still very much enjoy who BOC are today ! Been listening for over 50 years, and will continue to.
Yeah . Been a fan since 1973. First was them in 1974 backing Black Sabboth and have been hooked since then. Favorite band ever. Seen them 42 times. Richie. You do rock and have injected new energy in the band since you joined them.
I refuse to believe this is their last effort. Much props to you guys for putting all this stuff together. It sounds amazing so far. That video is awesome.
Im actually a little teary-eyed hearing the news of a new album from BOC, cant wait! Went to see them in Connecticut 2018 on Halloween (drove all the way from the wasteland of central Pennsylvania), best concert ive been to in years! Blue Oyster Cult is the subversive best when it comes to Rock 'n Roll!... ia ia BOC fhtagn!...
The Symbol Remains was of such incredible high quality I can't imagine a new one of that caliber could be thrown together, I do hope they are working up new material though.
Fascinating behind the scenes! So grateful to you, Richie, Steve and the rest of BOC for giving us fans another gem of past tracks. I’m glad you were able to use modern technology to bring back to life the songs yet being what they were back then! Cannot wait to get the new album!
Hubby and I got to see you guys in Las Vegas last December. My man said then that Richie is the guy responsible for bringing BOC to new generations of fans in all media, "busts his ass" on projects, and to promote the band. He said if he ever saw him in person, he'd bow before him. I understand what he meant now (although I have always really liked Richie's projects!).
Oh my gosh... No wonder why I heard a Fire of Unknown Origin vibe... they were songs from that time frame.... I cut my teeth on that album along with Some Enchanted Evening.... Love it!!!!
Going to see them in concert next month. 6th time I think. Saw them at an outdoor park concert couple years ago and the crowd honestly was Massive. I was stunned, tbh. So much love out there for BOC, after all these years. Love the new single!
Been a follower since the beginning. I Am overwhelmed at the prospect of this new album. Thought that would be the end with "Symbol ". Love BOC eternally!. The music of the spheres.
WOW!!! This sounds SO GOOD. We fans, from the Cult's "Day 1days", so appreciate you guys, you'll never know. Cannot wait. Bring it on, and THANK YOU for this.
I saw BÖC in the late 70s here in Germany two times and that was awesome. One of my favorite bands of all times. Got all the records and DVD stuff. Almost everything I could get including a ring with "The Symbol" on it. I'm a happy man to hear that there is a new album coming. The Symbol Remains!
i can't wait to get this new release. i adore BOC, seen them live 5 times, met Danny Miranda one time in Columbus. my favorite album lyrically is Secret Treaties (the Harvester, Telepaths, Astronomy cycle is mind blowing), and production wise my favorite album is Cultosaurus Erectus, I also firmly believe Club Ninja deserves much much more love than it gets. Thank you guys so much for everything. I aslo like listening to the albums Agents of Fortune, then Fire of Unknown Origin, and then Club Ninja in that order in their entirety because maybe it's just my imagination, but those 3 albums put together seem to tell a story..
Great work guys . Really looking forward to the albums 'release . An unexpected treat . I'm not sure that I have heard the song ,Jungle Fever , but I do recall the same title being the B side of the Tornado's hit ,Telstar back in the early 1960's , (I think it is better than the A side ) . Produced by ,Joe Meek .
Thanks for producing this guys, good work! Attended 2 BOC shows in the early 70s.Both great performances.First time in 1972 BOC opened for Alice Cooper.Second time in 1974 Rush opened for BOC.The latter concert included lasers.BOC is my favorite American group.I liked the band the first time that I heard their music.
This should be an interesting record I definitely loved the symbol remains and am definitely a long time fan one of my personal favorites is burning for you
Thanks for taking the time to explain all this stuff! I'm really looking forward to getting this new CD. I love to hear all the intricacies of the behind-the-scenes work. Thanks for all the time and effort you guys put into this! BOC FOREVER!
Hey Richie and Steve...bang-up job on So Supernatural...Allen ...Buck...Eric...Richie... Rick..Even Albert and Joseph Bouchard are back on Ghost Stories...Nosferatu reminiscent sounds that are just great...Hopefully this isn't a parting sign..."On Tour Forever ...You Know The Routine...On Your Feet Or On Your Knees...Is What We Want.
Buck and Eric etc , are getting on .... i think they'll pass the torch to Richie eventually to keep the B.O.C legacy alive . The men in black , there lips are sealed .
BOC is my second favorite band of all time and second only to Jimi Hendrix!! After seeing Jimi Hendrix in concert that's what made me want to learn how to play the guitar, which I have now been doing for 57 years. Blue Öyster Cult's music helped to get me through some really tough and rough times. I think my most favorite cover song they did was Steppinwolf's "Born to be wild" which they did very well! I used to work with a local North Carolina band named Nantucket and we opened up for BOC a time or two and I was on cloud 9 to be able to work with a band that I loved to listen to so much. Blue Öyster Cult also was one of the very few bands where their live concerts sounded EXACTLY like the original recordings!! I'll be first in line to buy this new album!!
It was a pleasure to have sown the seeds of this new record.
we can't thank you enough for that, George !
Thank you George. Hope it's going out in style for this great, great band ... they deserve to.
Thank you GPG! And BG would say it, too.
Thank you, George, for giving us this gift. I remember when you explained on your channel a few years back that a special project was in the works. It's great to see it come to fruition.
Thank you George. This is a gift of infinite value to us fans.
My favorite band of all time! B.O.C. The Symbol Remains within the Ghost Stories!
Same!
I can't imagine a world where BOC isn't the favourite band on it ...
I’m a 12 year old girl and literally am crazy about everything BÖC. They inspire me everyday and Buck has blown my mind as a beginner guitarist. He is a mastermind… Eric Bloom and his sense of humor always make me smile too, and his vocals have sent me away from every single song especially sang in, from the 70’s till now. I am so happy they are still touring, because it is a dream of mine to see my two biggest role models in person while they’re still here. Love you guys, wish I coulda been here sooner 🤘
UPDATE!
I WENT AND SAW THEM FOR THE 13th BIRTHDAY AND BUCK GAVE ME TWO PICKS AND CHRIS GAVE ME 1 TOO AHHH
Are you 12?? Really????
@@asdfzxcv3617 just turned 13!
I blame the parents……….for their excellent parenting!

I wish it didn't take me 23 years of being alive to find these guys.
THE MOST UNDERATED BAND IN THE HISTORY OF ROCK AND ROLL
BOC FOREVER
💙💙💙💙

Incredible musician-he kills live!

Very underrated band. They really rock and have great themes and lyrics to the music.
Thanks for one more album.
BOC on tour forever
I absolutely LOVE the current lineup of BOC, but getting the chance to listen to some Unearthed Archana with Allen, Joe, and Albert? YES, PLEASE!!!
I have followed George for a few years, Absolutely enjoying his TH-cam releases from the BOC Vault!... but now US Fans can have the final chapter with Ghost Stories! Bravo!!!
Been a fan since i was 8 years old, and a friend gave me Dont Fear The Reaper 45 with Tattoo Vampire on the B side for my birthday.
I was amazed in 1972 when I heard Cities on Flame, and after 31 times in concert (soon to be 32, I hope), BOC "STILL" is my # 1 rock and roll band! They NEVER disappoint!!!!
My family and my favorite band OF ALL TIME!
BLUE OYSTER CULT SHALL LIVE FOREVER! THEY ARE ETERNAL!
That's the best family you've got there, Respect ...
Thanks ! I miss Allen so much too !
You are my Frog hero.
I am !
Thank God Richie is part of the band. The life he brought in with his mastery of technology is amazing.
Richie Castellano fans the flames of Blue Oyster Cult’s music.
I have really enjoyed watching Richie work his way up through the ranks of the band, over the years. And now, he delivers such blistering guitars to the Live shows !

Rich, you brought that band into the modern era.

The production on "So Supernatural" is phenomenal. Thank you for bringing this to life.

Just saw the Muckleshoot show here in Washington, 7th or 8th time since 81 at the Seattle Center, love your contributions Ritchie!
Please come back to France. I haven't seen you since 1984 - and I was 17 then!

YES! I’d been clamoring for this! Thank you George!
Not thrilled to hear that the album cover is AI generated though.

Just pre ordered 2 purple LPs and 2 CDs...can't wait!!
Thank you for this great surprise
Listening to a reconstructed Lanier keyboard will be a ghost story.
Ordered two purple LPs _ one for myself and one for my son, a newly minted fan. Thank you!!!
This is awesome! Heard many of these tracks here and there over the years, looking forward to the whole package!
Been a fan forever. Cut my bass chops to Joe way back in the early '70's.
Very pleasant surprise, though a full album of new material would be even better. But pre-ordered already!
Very exciting! Can't wait!
Thanks to everyone who worked to save these recordings from the ravages of time. I'm looking forward to it's release.
Saw BOC at Kenley Amphitheater in Layton, Utah in 2023.
Thanks for still Rockin' and Touring!
This should be an interesting record I definitely loved the symbol remains and am definitely a long time fan one of my personal favorites is burning for you
That was why its sounds new but classic at the same time! Very Awesome!!!
Amazing to have a new album. Didn’t see that coming. I saw the last tour in Belgium 🇧🇪 and it was great 👍
HELL YES! This is incredible news.
B.Ö.C. per sempre ❤️
Blue Öyster Cult is my 2nd favorite band of all time. It's great to know that you're going to release another album! ❤️
And here I thought this was a hoax! I'm very happy about it!! Woohoo!!! Can't wait.
Thanks for taking the time to explain all this stuff! I'm really looking forward to getting this new CD. I love to hear all the intricacies of the behind-the-scenes work. Thanks for all the time and effort you guys put into this! BOC FOREVER!

I really hope so. And it would be nice if they could bring the Bouchard Brothers along, at least for one last go around.
Love So Supernatural and the video!
We love ya Richie
My biggest regret in life was back in the mid 70’s in Indianapolis. I was invited back stage but chickened out.
Why? Just too much testosterone or something?
So awesome, thanks guys.
this is fabulous -thanks guys!
Right on
Will see y’all in Atlanta in March! A fan for 47 years and first time seeing the Oyster Boys.
Don’t know why it took so long…..
