  • "Buck Dharma" Roeser
    Donald Brian "Buck Dharma" Roeser An American guitarist and songwriter, best known for being a member of Blue Öyster Cult since the group's formation in 1967. He wrote and sang the lead vocal on many of the band's best- known hits, including "(Don't Fear) The Reaper", "Godzilla", and "Burnin' for You" (the last originally intended for Roeser's solo album). Roeser was born on Long Island, New York. His father was an accomplished jazz saxophonist, and Roeser spent a lot of time listening to jazz music as a result. Because of this, Roeser developed an interest in the melodic arts at a very early age. He even played the accordion for a brief period of time.[1] Roeser was influenced greatly by the British Invasion of 1964, and he decided to pursue rock n' roll music. He first started out playing the drums, but had to stop temporarily after breaking his wrist while playing basketball. While recovering, Roeser learned to play guitar, and found that he enjoyed it more than the drums. During his high school years, Roeser played guitar in various cover bands. At this time, he started to develop his own signature sound by imitating his favorite guitarists and combining their sounds with his own style. Roeser attended Clarkson College in New York, and joined a band that included later bandmate Albert Bouchard. The two played together on and off during the rest of their college career. At the end, both musicians abandoned potential degrees (Roeser's in Chemical Engineering), and decided to pursue music full-time.

Click on the album cover for a larger view of the artwork. http://www.classicrockrevisited.com/BlueOysterCultAlbumArt/BOCTyranny.htm The Gawlick Era by Jeb Wright When Blue Oyster Cult hit the rock scene, they were immediately shrouded in mystery in the eyes of both adoring fans and parents alike. The main cause of the mystery lies in the name of the band containing the word ‘cult.’ This word struck terror in the hearts of parents and curiosity among the youth of the day. Both ends of the spectrum wondered just what was the Blue Oyster Cult? Were they evil? Did their songs contain spells? Were they going to rot the brains of teenagers or worse yet twist them and distort them into joining their sinister organization? After all, the lyrics were bizarre and scary. The music loud and surreal. Vocalist/Guitarist Eric Bloom hid behind mirrored sunglasses, wore black leather and shot lasers at his audience from his fingertips. Band detractors and fans alike relished in the oddities of BOC and were often perplexed and curious about the groups hidden meanings.
