Ep. 279: Grave Mistake: BLUE ÖYSTER CULT Shoulda Been Huge!!! Pt.1 with Tony "The Chairman" Griggs 2:07:20

15 days ago2:07:20

2:07:20

This week, we received our annual audit visit from corporate! That’s right, The Chairman not only graced us with his presence, but he demanded we deliver to you this episode: “Grave Mistake: BÖC Shoulda Been Huge!!!”. One could argue that selling 24M albums would negate “Shoulda Been Huge” treatment. However, when most folks can only name 3 songs by this band, and one of them is due to an SNL skit, we think they fit the bill. This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category; however, there is a strong case to be made that they’ve been largely forgotten as innovators and architects of what we know as heavy metal. We think they should be remembered as titans of hard rock and metal! Hope ya dig! Songs this week include: Blue Öyster Cult - “Transmaniacon MC” from Blue Öyster Cult (1972) Blue Öyster Cult - “The Red & The Black” from Tyranny And Mutation (1973) Blue Öyster Cult - “Flaming Telepaths” from Secret Treaties (1974) Blue Öyster Cult - “Tenderloin” from Agents Of Fortune (1976) Blue Öyster Cult - “R.U. Ready 2 Rock” from Spectres (1977) Blue Öyster Cult - “The Vigil” from Mirrors (1979) Blue Öyster Cult - “Monsters” from Cultosaurus Erectus (1980) Blue Öyster Cult - “Joan Crawford” from Fire Of Unknown Origin (1981) Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!

It is with heavy hearts that we deliver this week’s episode honoring the passing of a guitar hero giant who also happened to be an awesome singer and songwriter: John Sykes. He was a guitarist deserving of the title guitar god who rarely got mentioned in the same circles as the Satches, Vais, Rhodes, and Van Halens. Most known for his brief stint in Thin Lizzy at the end of their career and as a brief member of Whitesnake. He should have been a household for playing on the Whitesnake 87 album that sold 25M records worldwide, but he was fired before it came out. Kevin’s a huge fan of Blue Murder, so we will focus on that band and some of the lesser-known projects he was involved in while also paying homage to his mainstream successes. New to InObscuria? Typically, what we do is exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. Rest In Peace John. Your pure musicality and amazing songs will live forever in our hearts! Songs this week include: Blue Murder – “We All Fall Down” from Nothin’ But Trouble (1993) Streetfighter – “She’s No Angel” from Lightnin’ To The Nations: NWOBHM 25th Anniversary Collection (2005) Tygers Of Pan Tang – “Blackjack” from Spellbound (1981) John Sykes – “Pride And Joy” from Crossfire: A Salute To Stevie Ray (1996) Derek Sherinian – “God Of War” from Mythology (2004) Thin Lizzy – “Cowboy Song” from One Night Only (2000) John Sykes – “Cautionary Warning” from 20th Century (1997) Blue Murder – “Still Of The Night” from Screaming Blue Murder: Dedicated To Phil Lynott (1994) Blue Murder – “Jelly Roll” from Screaming Blue Murder: Dedicated To Phil Lynott (1994) Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!

This week we continue our journey to the Great White North! This is the triumphant finale of our celebration of an amazing power trio from Toronto that has been largely forgotten in the pantheon of rock n’ roll: TRIUMPH! From classic hard rock & metal to proggy AOR, this is a band that rarely gets the praise they deserve! This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. This is a band that Captain Content has mentioned before as a band he would love to dive into deeper. While not the most obscure band we’ve ever covered (they have multiple platinum and gold albums in the US and Canada), they have been largely forgotten as the rock giants they once were. We think they should be remembered as titans or rock and thus: Huge-er-er!!! Eh? Songs this week include: Triumph - “Time Goes By” from Thunder Seven (1984) Triumph - “When The Lights Go Down” from Stages (1985) Triumph - “Mind Games” from Stages (1985) Triumph - “Play With Fire” from The Sport Of Kings (1986) Triumph - “Carry On The Flame” from Surveillance (1987) Triumph - “Edge Of Excess” from Edge Of Excess (1992) Triumph - “I Live For The Weekend” from Live At Sweden Rock Festival (2008) Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!
