When I was 15, my best friend and I went for guitar lessons. He wanted to play Stones, BOC, Nugent and Hendrix songs and myself BTO, GFR, BOC, Nugent and Sabbath. The instructor could play anything and did all the riffs from our list. Sent us home to learn Lyin Eyes by the Eagles with sheet music. My friend learned Jingles bells and I tried piano unsuccessfully.
🤷🏻♂️I think it’s the GREATEST rock song ever made that was in a movie. The guitar of of 5 people at the same time is something that NO ONE CAN DO LIKE THEM! It’s way ahead of its time! It’s 2023 and STILL AN AMAZING SONG
@@davef4728 Mmm...Not really. Akira Ifukube took a string off of his contrabass and rubbed it with gloves soaked in pine tar. The sound that came from it was used as Godzilla's roar.
Now it's 2024 and I crank it up every time I hear it on the radio by the way I work at a stone quarry and the loader has a pretty good radio so the jerk in the office can hear it.
I saw them perform this song live in a small club in SF (The Old Waldorf) back in the late 70s. The drummer wore a Godzilla head. It was so freaking awesome!!!
Yup, me too. 1978 in Poughkeepsie. Drummer had a solo with strobe lights, leaned back and come up with the Godzilla head and lasers everywhere. They had one song with all 5 guys playing guitar front of stage. "Don't Fear the Reaper" and "Astronomy." The other songs were great too. For a 16-year-old's 2nd rock concert ever, and some MaryJane, that one blew me away. "Some Enchanted Evening" album caught them at their best. Ah the 70's!
I saw this concert at 1978 at the capital Center and remember that statue of Godzilla breathing fire. What a memory smoking some joints in the parking lot going on in my friend Danny Merchant and Paul Wadlow Paul’s dead now.
@DavidMiller-ip7gk I saw them 4 times, only once with the 30' tall Godzilla, in San Diego at the enclosed stadium/venue (don't remember name) and i coulda sworn that thing was breathing fire too, not just smoke! I was in the Navy, and that was the last time I saw them. Dennis 63 years Austin, TX
They had to make it sound good live or you wouldn't go out and buy the album. No streaming services back then. I bought an album after I saw them. My ticket cost $6 and right at the stage!!! Concerts were a lot more exciting in the 70s and 80s.
They always sounded better live. Unlike bands who overdubbed so many things in the studio in excess to the point where they couldn’t come close to duplicating the sound in concert, BÖC seemed to record their songs with the intention of making sure they could play them live.
@@benm8903 not sure what your comment means. Yes, bands still perform live. My comment referred to the fact that many bands put so many layers of music into the studio recordings it’s almost impossible to duplicate that sound in concert. While Blue Öyster Cult often sounds better live than on the original studio recording.
@@tomgorman748 Ah fair enough, and that's interesting to know. My comment was a bit facetious. I think there's a bit of a thing with lots of TH-cam comments for older music videos for people to state that music isn't what it used to be, and that bands don't do it like they used to, and I was just making a cheap comment, as I think we are slightly swimming in nostalgia at the moment, and there are still plenty of bands who are brilliant live, and plenty of great music being made. Your comment wasn't along these lines at all though and my reply was more in reply to the first comment in this thread.
this song has the personal approval of the king of the monsters himself. who also stated that if people don't like this song alongside him then they will face certain destruction via atomic breath.
Don't you mean the Queen of Monsters? Seriously, only a female awakens that pissed off at noisy brats (humans) & proceeds to open a big can of atomic whup ass in a large city. 😉
@@andreroberson6554 We'll agree to disagree, n'est ce pas? But... my unmet friend, have you ever disturbed a peacefully resting female? Have you deeply wounded a woman? A "Yes" to either question, or both, will reveal to you the inherent & fiery feminine spirit of Godzilla. 😉🌹
I was at this show...the opening acts were Cheap Trick and British Lions...also saw Blue Oyster Cult 2 years earlier at the Capital Centre with Uriah Heep as the opening act....
Russell J.S. It’s because Hip-hop is an evolution of jazz music. Jazz music was and still is a form of rock music. Put the two together and like it or not, hip-hop is by definition part of rock and roll. It seems unfortunate and if it still upsets you, then you really only have your own ignorance to blame.
1:28 Is one of the most under rated solos of all time in my opinion. 1977 and that guy throws that solo down like it's no big deal? Maybe that's just me.
MondoSquad super smooth especially for live. he made it look like he was grabbin a beer from the fridge. good shit hes just rockin out with cruise control on.
It's just you. Heavy metal fans , put your jack Daniels away, smoke a Doobie and listen to another all string band. BILLY" MF" STRINGS. I got tricked into this song today as Pluto tv is having ""Godzilla" weekend
Here in 2014 watching this on a youtube clip, it seems a bit dated and cheesy BUT dont be fooled because when you are seeing this live in 1978, 15 years old and about 12 feet from the stage IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS! I had the album on vinyl. rolled lots of joints on that album cover. For those of you who remember....I raise my glass.
I only saw BOC in clubs during the 90's, but I've heard from people who saw them in the 70's/early 80's that it was the loudest band they've ever gone to see.
I remember when this song came out. It was one of the more memorable parts of my childhood. I was 16, smoking Hawaiian buds, driving a 55 Chevy and laughing my ass off to this song. The guitar solos were blowing my mind too. Talk about an underrated guitar player. I don't even know the guy's name. Ah, Buck Dharma.
+LARRY Blue Oyster Cult sucks. Buck Dharma is a talentless asshole. Eric Bloom wears his sunglasses in dark venues. so you know he's a dick. and the rest of the band are sidemen. clown band!!.
+LARRY I'm not jealous, I already made it, I opened for zebra, a much better band. These guys are just an overrated bar band that plays in Bowling Alleys. Did you get out of the bar yet?
@@Makeloafnotwar thought that was the Who?. From memory of the Guinness world record book some 30 -40 years ago. Also heard iron maiden, kiss and others broke it. But spinal taps amps are calibrated to go ONE louder ( to 11) than others so....
@@brettb4904 Hi. It appears that the person u were responding to no longer has their comment up, but were y'all talking about the loudest show ever? I remember Manowar had the record -- not sure who has it now..
@@JasonPizzolato I think so. I heard a crowd at a football game had the record now but I'm going to see what Google says I'm just not sure if it was loudest concert or just loudest...event or whatever, we were addressing.
Missing Erics intro talking about smoking a bowl too..plus the end..this concert used to be played on MTV in the mid 80s..the full video used to be on here but got removed
I've loved this song ever since I was a kid. One of the first songs I learned to play on electric. Jamming along to the record in my bedroom on my cheapo Peavey. Life was great!
Just saw BOC (Saturday 09/16/17) earlier tonight in Cottonwood Arizona. Sounded great!! Buck Dharma at 69 years old can still bring the heat!! I have always been a casual fan and this was my fist time seeing them. They delivered.
I saw BOC as the opening act for Alice Cooper in May of 1972. I remember looking at the ticket and thinking “Who are these guys?”. What a show! Coolness personified.
I was 16 someone spilled beer on the steps at Baltimore collisium.I rode down the concrete stairs on my back. Thank God I had front stage seats. That's where I landed😂😂😂
This great band wrote and played this great song that is so creative,so amazingly well done that it is considered by many to be classic,a song that will live on and on and always be loved,even by those living in japan that sing along,oh no,there goes Tokyo!
Awesome fun song a great homage to the Godzilla movies i watched as a kid such a cool song love the Godzilla with eyes that glow and smoke comming from his mouth as he attacks Tokoyo
I saw these guys live for the first time at a show in Upstate New York, Plattsburgh State University to be precise. They were freakin' steamin' especially when all the guys stood almost arm in arm ALL with guitars. Frick man, awesome! Oh, and the opening act wasn't half bad but most of the audience wasn't paying any attention to, you ready? RUSH! What a double billing that was! I drank 3 or 4 QUARTS (yes 32 ounces) of Genesee Beer, a great upstate NY brew to this day I think. I fired up a doobie or 2 and was happy as hell and higher than freakin' kite by the end of the show. Me and my buddy crashed in the dorm room of a couple really nice chicks, stayed up most of the night listening to music and smokin' some shitty Vermont "Green" they called it. I am an old man now and while I can't recall where I put my car keys half the time, I remember this great night of my early 20's like it was yesterday. I even remember one of the girls names! Dig that! Rock and roll keeps me alive now. Hope I didn't bore y'all! Thanks for reading.
Plattsburgh is a nice area... I had a friend who's family had a vacation house there and it was always alot of fun... That was a long time ago... Anyway... I enjoyed your story... Haha
I was told many times that I would outgrow Rock 'n' Roll. I'm 66 now and still love BOC and Black Sabbath and some of the new stuff too. I don't think I'm going to outgrow it. Rock on Steve C. !
They played this at a gig I was at in the UK about 3 weeks ago .. imagine singing the whole song with about 1300 people & those booming power chords in between the sing along ... incredible fun I can tell you ...
Love how they made a cover of the song! Micheal Dougherty knows what the fans want! He is a die hard fan himself and he loves this song! So im glad he put it in.
Man, I saw BOC at the Cow Palace two or three times back in 78-79 and they never failed to produce! The last show had Godzilla movies playing before the curtain went up. It had a baby Godzilla and everything. Then the finale with the big model! That one shot fire instead of steam though as I recall!!! ... Sounded so awesome! Comet TV channel is having a News Years' day Godzilla Marathon! Got me to thinking about this song from my youth!
Growing up i was totally into monsters. Because of this song BoC was the first rock band I was seriously into. More then 50 years and still jam'n! Excuse me, love to stay and chat more, but Jonny Socko and Giant Robot are on. Godzilla vs Giant Robot... now that would be a battle for the ages!
Wow so awesome. Whole new respect for these guys. I didn’t know they did this song. So good and catchy. I was just 9 years old when this concert occurred. So I had no idea about this music. My parents were either country music or old bandstand style tunes.
I love this song. my dad, my brothers and myself used to listen to this every time we were together in the car driving from Georgia heading to Florida. It was our road trip go to song.
Wow! I just found this video and the best part is I was there! I was 15 and my buddy and I had hitched from Philly for the show. I STILL have my ticket from the show. I was tripping balls way up in the nose bleed section.
I saw BOC in Chicago, on this tour. I think it was October 1981. At the old Ampitheater. We weezled our way up to from row. It was a great show. Today , my 4 year old grandson walks around the house singing Godzilla. Absolutely cute.
Play this in memory of Haruo Nakajima, the first actor to wear the iconic Godzilla suit. He passed away today.
Hoooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
@Bird910Then he was one of the good ones.
LONG LIVE THE KING GO GO GODZILLA!!!!!!!!!
Oh no there goes Tokyo
I could never understand why some Cult fans didn't like this song. It is funky, catchy, has hilarious lyrics and it all around kicks serious rearend.
When I was 15, my best friend and I went for guitar lessons. He wanted to play Stones, BOC, Nugent and Hendrix songs and myself BTO, GFR, BOC, Nugent and Sabbath. The instructor could play anything and did all the riffs from our list. Sent us home to learn Lyin Eyes by the Eagles with sheet music. My friend learned Jingles bells and I tried piano unsuccessfully.
I've always liked this tune.
Because the too cool for school types always hate bands more popular songs.

Good on Bloom for reciting the Japanese lines too
This would've been soooo kick ass for the ending credits of the new Godzilla
Guess who might've gotten their wish.
Well, the new sequel has the song, but don't expect it to be the original artist.
This is in King of the Monsters but it's done by Serj Tankian of System of a Down
"4 years ago". Thanks Nostradamus
Under your spell.
Nobody can put 5 guitars together live and sound like this anymore
No one would want to
That's NS Brother!!!
They still do it! Just seen them in July
You absolute damn right
So true. I feel like you couldn't get 5 players able to understand how to sync up their playing. It's pretty technical but then again all feel too
it's 2023 and this song still kicks ass like it did 45 years ago
Now it's 2024 and I crank it up every time I hear it on the radio by the way I work at a stone quarry and the loader has a pretty good radio so the jerk in the office can hear it.
This rocks on so many levels: musically, melodically, movie homage, set decor, magical experience!

Very jealous!!! I was still a bit too young to see them live, but I'm not too young to just love it & dream.
Really? Awesome..thanks for the story

Absolutely mind blowing. BOC is off the chain, off the hook, and off the frakken planet!!!!! They are one of my all time favorite bands.
Great tune by BOC, and what a great live version. And definitely, this should have been the theme song for all Godilla movies...
One of the most entertaining concerts I've ever seen. Memories.
I’m so happy I got to see them perform this live
Their music is so much like modern and classic at same time, great
Everything about this song is killer.
My favorite song of Blue Oyster Cult.

Wow! I just found this video and the best part is I was there! I was 15 and my buddy and I had hitched from Philly for the show. I STILL have my ticket from the show. I was tripping balls way up in the nose bleed section.
Buck wrote this song so he could play THE BADDEST ASS SOLO in ALL of rock n roll!!! Buck, you're the GREATEST!!!
LOL I can smell the Acapulco Gold from here!!! So awesome with the Godzilla body..must have been a blast to see live
"Run it's Godzilla!" "But due to international copyright laws it isn't." "But we can pretend that it is Godzilla!" "No it isn't!" "Ahhh!"
Hey that's funny awesome concert carol g 😊💞
I like the original guitars more, but the background chants in Serj’s cover are EPIC!
Seen these guys 5 times....love them!
This is so spinal tap love it.. guitarist is slaying it
Great song, especially live. They came out in black hoodie robes & the monster.Great stuff!❤
one of the best rock songs ever
I remember the drummer throwing drumsticks at the Godzilla robot. Absolutely epic moments in Rock n Roll.
Love me some Blue Oyster Cult 💕
I was born in 1978 lol. One of many bands i grew up on
Anyone know where to find the full video? Been hyping up that crazy drum solo, and now I can't deliver

Thank you for loving Godzilla, the Japanese monster king!
How cool would a Gojira cover of this song be!?!
Wooo Hoooo I remember this night back in the day holy shit.......🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Why oh why didn’t they use this in the latest Godzilla remake. I love this track!!! 🤟🏾
They used it in GZ: KING OF THE MONSTERS (2019)
I saw BOC in Chicago, on this tour. I think it was October 1981. At the old Ampitheater. We weezled our way up to from row. It was a great show.
Today , my 4 year old grandson walks around the house singing Godzilla. Absolutely cute.
Now this is legendary, truly EPIC!
I was at that show. I mainly went to see the opening act, which was Cheap Trick.
I seen them on 9/19/1982 in Allentown PA. I have a chance to see them again in Jim Thorpe PA on 11/4/2016, I'm thinking of going!
I seen them a week after you did in Toronto Sep 27,1982...I still have a few photos I took at that show ...Good Times!!
That is to say, "you SAW them".
Damn, when I was a teenager I got a BOC TATT, at a tattoo party because of this song, im 53 now.. still don't regret it..✌🏾❤
I saw these guys on this tour. Yes, I'm that old :P
Yep, me to. 1981. The fire of unknown origin tour.
I've seen several concerts at the old Capital Center! Man the 80's we're great!
Man that bass solo is fucking amazing, like holy crap
I saw Blue Öyster Cult on Nov 6, 1976 at the Salem-Roanoke Valley Civic Center, Salem, VA, USA
This is an awesome performance.
I saw this show in 78 at the Hollywood
Sportatorium in Hollywood Florida at the October fest. We were on cloud nine!! Or 10 I forget.
After BOC did Godzilla, RUSH was inspired to do Mothra, and TULL responded with Rodan. Great Stuff.
If only
I forgot this absolute metal classic. Thanks for the post and reminder of what a great band BOC was.
They cut out the part where Eric talks about smoking a bowl?
And the drum solo and end of the song
Yes I was there 🚨 back in the day 💫 what a party 💥
Godzilla 2019 the end song👍👍👍👍
Worshipping this band since yesterday
