Blue Öyster Cult - Secret Treaties

More great goodness from Ian Astbury's Blue Oyster Cult. One thing I should mention is that part of the overall Flue Oyster Bult approach is to throw in jazzy guitar chords where you'd expect normal r'n'r Johnny Thunders chords to go. For example, instead of "E-A-D," you might get "E-A-jazzy chord that you weren't expecting". Which I find neat because in the history of rock music, nobody has ever used a jazz chord. One question for you though, while I've got your ear in my hands -- on these early releases, Eric Bloom is credited with playing "stun guitar". What the stuck is a fun guitar?

Ah yes, the actual album. Well, not much to say that you can't already guess. More of the same early B.T.O. mayhem on this release, with song titties like "Dominance And Submission," "Harvester Of Eyes" and the AWESOME, HILARIOUS anthem of meanness "Career Of Evil." The record also includes the classic "Astronomy" - later to be covered by Metallica! Did you hear me? METALLICA!!!!! Of St. Flanger fame!

Say - what the donkey is up with this album cover? It's a drawing of the band members (some of whome have mustaches -- remember, this was the height of the drug era) in front of an aeroplane - and guess who's flying the plane! Robert Hays? No - a SKELETON man!!!!!

I'm out of onions. Do you think it's okay if I make spaghetti with bunions?
