Burnin' For You and Don't Fear The Reaper

AKA · 04-24-2009, 07:46 PM

Wait, they have songs other than those two?

Check out their 1975 live 'On Your Feet Or On Your Knees' album. Recorded one year before 'Agents of Fortune' and "Don't Fear the Reaper". I was a huge BOC fan back then about 30 years ago, and believe it or not, there was more than "Don't Fear....", "Burnin' For You", and everyone's other favorite,
"Godzilla".

Hot Rails To Hell
Seven Screaming Dizbusters
Wings Wetted Down
The Red and the Black
OD'd on Life Itself
Cities On Flame (With Rock & Roll)
Career Of Evil
The Subhuman
Dominance and Submission (a total classic!!!)
Harvester Of Eyes
Flaming Telepaths
Astronomy
Buck's Boogie
Then Came the Days Of May
I Ain't Got You

Born To Be Wild (their killer cover of Steppenwolf!!!)
Don't Fear the Reaper (I don't care for the live ones compared to the original)
E.T.I. (Extra-Terrestrial Intelligences)
The Revenge Of Vera Gemini
Tattoo Vampire
R.U. Ready 2 Rock
The Golden Age of Leather (an underrated classic track!!!)

I Love the Night
Mirrors
Doctor Music
Black Blade
Burnin' For You (this was originally going to be on guitarist Buck Dharma's planned solo album but ended up on 'Fire Of an Unknown Origin')

Sorry to reply to an old thread, but I just recently have really gotten into BOC, and LOVE them...they're now one of my top 5 favorite bands. I'm not a "metalhead" by any stretch of the imagination, but I find half of their first album mediocre, and don't understand the praise it gets. And I also think Buck Dharma is a much, much better singer than Eric Bloom. My personal favorites:

"(Then Came the) Last Days of May"
"Before the Kiss, a Redcap"
"Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll"
"Harvester of Eyes"
"True Confessions"
"(Don't Fear) The Reaper"
"Tattoo Vampire"
"Godzilla"
"Golden Age of Leather"
"Fireworks"
"I Love the Night"
"Night Flyer"
"The Great Sun Jester"
"In Thee"
"Mirrors"
"The Vigil"
"You're Not the One (I Was Looking For)"
"Deadline"
"Fallen Angel"
"Burnin' For You"
"Sole Survivor"
"Vengeance"
"After Dark"
"Don't Turn Your Back"
"Shooting Shark"
"Veins"
"Dragon Lady"
"Dancin' in the Ruins"
"Here Comes That Feeling"
