Blue Öyster Cult guitarist Donald ‘Buck Dharma’ Roeser’s drone riff in A minor, devolving into distinct sections, is as much part of the American landscape as the Hollywood sign or the four presdients on the face of Mount Rushmore. ‘(Don’t Fear) The Reaper’ remains one of those great American rock tracks of the seventies – with a lengthy, rousing guitar solo, Roeser and members address the eternal themes of love and death.
