How come Buck Dharma never comes out when talking about axe men?

Between yesterday and today I was playing some BOC, I'm actually trying to get back into the band, and it came to my mind that whenever a "Best guitarist" pool comes out, Roeser is never there with the usual gods. I mean, for all I hear, he can play a mean lead guitar and has a great sense of melody. Maybe his tone is a little "old", but that goes for a lot.

So, what do you think? Is he just underrated, or is he just flash?

Buck is a fantastic guitar player. The version of Astronomy on Some Enchanted Evening is among my favourite solos.

many younger music fans (who are, obviously, the ones who currently run music journalism) seem to think of blue oyster as a three-hit wonder shitrock band for loser uncles. lots of powerful music is written off for silly reasons

If you only focus on their hits, buck deserves to be well spoken of. Great melodic chops in those solos.

He's very melodic and has produced some memorable solos. Maybe he doesn't get the props because he isn't as flashy as many of his contemporaries, maybe it's a band image thing, or a personal image thing?

 

Now what would be wrong in his personal image, I can't possibly imagine...

HE IS A LEGEND! I catch BOC once a year!! Buck is the most underrated guitar player in the WORLD!! Vocally he is amazing too.

Totally love Mirrors. Stylish guitar player whose time ended too early, considering the body of work.

That's pretty bad but it's not what's on the outside that counts. It's what's on the inside that makes him a guitar legend. JMO

Found this interesting article by Julian Cope (I think it's THE Julian Cope):

What do you think? Do you agree that the "darkness" of early BOC was almost solely inflicted by Sandy Pearlman? Were they just a rock band with an occult black jacket that they stole in the wardrobe room?
