Blue Oyster Cult - Power Underneath Dispair Lyrics

I'd like to make an official request to all Metallica fans. Please stop! Please? Nobody gives a shit about 4 people who got rich and famous off of other people's hard work. Want examples? Sure: Diamond Head, Budgie, Blue Oyster Cult, Dave Mustaine, and many, many others.

I love this album

I feel bad for the people whose experience with this band start and end with Don't Fear The Reaper.

I think I'm gonna blow my earbuds out...

Have you seen the Power?...Yeah its underneath the Spare!

“WHO DID THIS?!?!?”

What this album is missing is the rest of the guys aside from the original members are just playing along.... whereas in the old BOC they were all pushing to be heard.....

It's a Buck & Eric show (& a very good one) but lacks the dimensions & augmentations of original line up BOC ...

Hades, Satan. The King of the Dead, the Lord of the Darkness. Whatever name he goes by, he must love BOC.

Kellen Rist His name is Ronnie James Dio.

Yes I do!

Love this song! I was brought up listening to BOC and will always love them! Unrated! They are the masters

Rolling Stones the greatest rock n roll band of all time?  Please.

BOC are so many levels ahead of most bands that they just go over the heads of most listeners ...

This album KICKED ASS. It was BOC's way to tell us they were back. Unfortunately, I don't think the next one was as good.

I know you wrote your statement a year ago trukinhard77, but I know for a fact that the kronos was placed on the Cassini Probe to Saturn.  Tons of employees of NASA are BOC fans, as would only be appropriate as the themes of their music go hand in hand with the mindset that music loving scientists can relate to.  "The Thinking Man's" heavy metal band.  Those aren't my words, those are words I was brought up with.  I was 10 when they came out, but thanks to an older brother, I had a kronos on my jean vest before I was 11.

Really?  That makes me love BOC even more!

These Guys are The Fathers ,,Metallica  are The children .. Stop comparing .

Bro Metallica is no child, but these guys are fathers, Metallica even has a cover of their song

@Utku Erdogan shit-talica has several covers of BOC songs actually. But you'd know that if you actually had any idea of what music is.

que gran banda.geniales

amazing song

Shades of Flaming Telepaths. This band hasn't strayed from its roots, it's grown from them. Kick ass song.

Power of the knee.

hahaha thanks for ruining this song forever! :D

The hook-and-cross logo was designed by Bill Gawlik in January 1972,and appears on all of the band's albums In Greek mythology,..the hook-and-cross symbol is that of Kronos, the king of the Titans and father of Zeus..and is the alchemical symbol for lead . In Roman mythology, the hook-and-cross symbol represents Saturn, the God of agriculture and fertility.The hook and cross symbol also resembles the sickle, which is associated with both Kronos and Saturn (both the planet and the Roman God).

Absolutely!

Blue Öyster Cult is my one of favorite bands :) always puts a smile on my face

Not the symbol for lead.

Die Strophe des Songs ist fantastisch. Sie wäre, nur so nebenbei, perfekt für die Stimme von Axl Rose ausgelegt. (ich stelle mir oft imaginär vor Axl würde sie singen...aber na ja ;) )

How many killer tracks can one band have... imagine having to put the set list together for one of their shows these days. What a challenge that would be! :)

actually, their set lists are pretty lazy....it's almost as if even THEY don't know how deep their catalog is.

totally the oringaly metal. The symbol is actualy taken from the Alchemic symbol for lead... cuz its the 'heaviest metal..." Each time I hear this song, that fact is proven more and more true.

Devin Flinn Don't go around misinforming people to sound cool, it's pretty shitty of you. This is what they said in an interview, "We like to say it is an ancient symbol that means "Blue Oyster Cult". The BOC logo was created by Bill Gawlik, the artist who created the band's first and second album covers. It is a stylization of the astronomical symbol for the planet Saturn."

@DarkRetroFan64 Check out some of their older stuff, they have a whole range of metal right through to ballads and instrumentals...one of the very best live bands ever!

I fear for the dude with the golden tattoo, because boc is pretty ticked at him

Great Band

...and my smile-y is the last sight you see...;-)
...Metallica was still on their mother's teat when BOC were at their prime(in fact, I think Kirk Hamster is still on the mom).

metalica? you've got to be kidding! this is the original heavy metal band

@tmanroksgothacked
BUY A GERMAN KEYBOARD!!!!!!!!!
lol

I like this song. The style reminds me of Fight Fire with Fire by Metallica.

This is sort of like 'The Punisher' or something

what year was this?

Can't believe how underrated this album is, it's bloody amazing. Some fantastic tracks on it.

so few views... shame this album deserves to be more known

There is indeed a Power undernearth Despair.
