Announcer: After a series of staggering defeats,

2
00:00:02,642 --> 00:00:04,922
Blue Oyster Cult assembled in the recording studio

3
00:00:05,073 --> 00:00:09,468
in late 1976 for a session with famed producer Bruce Dickinson.

4
00:00:09,936 --> 00:00:12,413
And, luckily for us, the cameras were rolling.

5
00:00:14,612 --> 00:00:18,319
Alright, guys, I think we're ready to lay this first track down.

6
00:00:19,007 --> 00:00:21,072
By the way, my name is Bruce Dickinson.

7
00:00:21,538 --> 00:00:23,820
Yes, the Bruce Dickinson.

8
00:00:24,935 --> 00:00:26,216
And I gotta tell you: fellas...

9
00:00:26,797 --> 00:00:29,464
you have got what appears to be a dynamite sound!

10
00:00:30,045 --> 00:00:32,822
Coming from you, Bruce, that means a lot.

11
00:00:33,492 --> 00:00:36,825
Yeah. I mean, you're Bruce Dickinson!

12
00:00:36,825 --> 00:00:37,932
This is incredible!

13
00:00:37,932 --> 00:00:40,325
I can't believe Bruce Dickinson digs our sound!

14
00:00:40,325 --> 00:00:41,932
Easy, guys...

15
00:00:41,932 --> 00:00:44,319
I put my pants on just like the rest of you --

16
00:00:44,319 --> 00:00:45,369
one leg at a time

17
00:00:46,052 --> 00:00:49,443
Except, once my pants are on, I make gold records.

18
00:00:51,176 --> 00:00:54,943
Alright, here we go. "Fear... Don't Fear the Reaper"

19
00:00:54,943 --> 00:00:56,268
take one. Roll it

20
00:00:56,557 --> 00:00:58,772
Alright! One, two, three, four...

Um, Bruce, could you come in here for a second, please?

26
00:01:30,111 --> 00:01:33,316
That... that was gonna be a great track. Guys, what's the deal?

27
00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:35,222
Uh, are you sure that was sounding okay?

28
00:01:35,222 --> 00:01:37,112
I'll be honest... fellas, it was sounding great.

29
00:01:37,262 --> 00:01:37,962
But...

30
00:01:38,144 --> 00:01:40,327
I could've used a little more cowbell.

31
00:01:41,161 --> 00:01:43,062
[Audience laughs]

32
00:01:43,938 --> 00:01:46,885
So... let's take it again... and, Gene?

33
00:01:47,119 --> 00:01:47,519
Yeah?

34
00:01:47,937 --> 00:01:50,266
Really explore the studio space this time.

35
00:01:50,432 --> 00:01:51,356
You got it, Bruce.

36
00:01:51,356 --> 00:01:56,691
I mean, really... explore the space. I like what I'm hearing. roll it.

Bruce, I'm sorry, could you come back in here, please?

43
00:02:29,412 --> 00:02:33,336
Fellas... now, we just wasted two good tracks!

44
00:02:34,065 --> 00:02:36,448
This last one was even better than the first!

45
00:02:36,544 --> 00:02:39,379
Well, it's just that I find Gene's cowbell playing distracting!

46
00:02:39,877 --> 00:02:42,042
I don't know, if I'm the only one, I'll shut up.

47
00:02:42,541 --> 00:02:43,674
Nah, it was pretty rough.

48
00:02:44,279 --> 00:02:46,786
You know, I could pull it back a little, if you'd like.

49
00:02:46,883 --> 00:02:48,936
Not too much, though! I'm telling you, fellas --

50
00:02:49,602 --> 00:02:52,325
you're gonna want that cowbell on the track!

51
00:02:52,646 --> 00:02:54,823
You know what, it's fine. Let's just do the thing.

52
00:02:54,923 --> 00:02:56,010

NO, YOU COME ON!!

59
00:03:27,870 --> 00:03:31,601
Guys, y’ know…that…that…it doesn't work for me.

60
00:03:32,002 --> 00:03:33,790
I gotta have more cowbell!

61
00:03:34,725 --> 00:03:36,513
Don't blow this for us, Gene!

62
00:03:36,898 --> 00:03:38,813
[laughing] Quit being...

63
00:03:38,957 --> 00:03:40,917
quit being so selfish, Gene!

64
00:03:41,642 --> 00:03:43,006
Can I just say one thing?

65
00:03:43,089 --> 00:03:44,939
Yeah, baby! Just say it!

66
00:03:45,727 --> 00:03:48,484
I'm standing here, staring at rock legend Bruce Dickinson!

67
00:03:48,572 --> 00:03:50,088
The cock of the walk, baby!

68
00:03:50,177 --> 00:03:52,297
And if Bruce Dickinson wants more cowbell,

69
00:03:52,297 --> 00:03:54,159
we should probably give him more cowbell!

70
00:03:54,164 --> 00:03:55,412
Say it, baby!

71
00:03:55,731 --> 00:03:57,846
And, Bobby, you are right - I am being selfish.

72
00:03:57,954 --> 00:03:59,935
But the last time I checked,

73
00:03:59,935 --> 00:04:01,648
we don't have a whole lot of songs

74
00:04:01,648 --> 00:04:03,201
that feature the cowbell.

75
00:04:03,401 --> 00:04:05,600
I gotta have more cowbell, baby!

76
00:04:05,615 --> 00:04:07,225
[Audience laughs]

77
00:04:07,230 --> 00:04:09,191
And I'd be doing myself a disservice --

78
00:04:09,263 --> 00:04:10,957
and every member of this band

79
00:04:10,957 --> 00:04:13,227
if I didn’t perform the HELL out of this!

80
00:04:14,521 --> 00:04:15,944
Guess what?

81
00:04:15,944 --> 00:04:17,975
I got a fever!

82
00:04:17,975 --> 00:04:19,940
And the only prescription...

83
00:04:19,940 --> 00:04:21,241
is more cowbell!

84
00:04:21,262 --> 00:04:23,543
[Audience laughs]

85
00:04:23,543 --> 00:04:25,187
Thank you, Bruce.

86
00:04:25,658 --> 00:04:26,889
but I think if...

87
00:04:26,889 --> 00:04:29,763
I think if I just leave... and maybe I'll come back later,

88
00:04:29,763 --> 00:04:31,226
and we can lay down the cowbell.

89
00:04:31,276 --> 00:04:32,147
Aw, come on, baby...

90
00:04:32,147 --> 00:04:33,609
Gene, wait!

91
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,577
Why don't you lay down that cowbell right now.

92
00:04:39,103 --> 00:04:40,672
With us.

93
00:04:40,672 --> 00:04:42,401
Together.

94
00:04:50,145 --> 00:04:51,635
Do you mean that, Eric?

95
00:04:51,729 --> 00:04:52,551
Oh, yeah.

96
00:04:52,606 --> 00:04:54,455
He speaks for all of us.

97
00:04:54,647 --> 00:04:55,567
Thank you.

98
00:04:55,762 --> 00:04:58,357
Babies... before we're done here...

99
00:04:58,462 --> 00:05:01,038
y'all be wearing gold-plated diapers.

100
00:05:02,098 --> 00:05:03,263
What does that mean?

101
00:05:03,263 --> 00:05:04,956
Never question Bruce Dickinson!

102
00:05:05,695 --> 00:05:07,149
Roll it!

103
00:05:12,489 --> 00:05:15,157
