I recently sat down with my dear friend Shelly Yakus to talk about his experience recording one of the most iconic guitar riffs of all time!

We had a chance to talk about his time recording the Blue Oyster Cult classic, “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper.” Who better to talk about such a prominent song with than the man who was there to engineer it: Shelly Yakus!

We were fortunate to be able to get a lot of insight into the whole process, including the “Shelly Yakus Special” snare sound and how the incredibly articulate picking on the main guitar riff was done. We talked lots of “insider” secrets here while breaking down the song into its isolated elements!

Yes that's a clavinet played by Allen Lanier, the B-3 was played by Eric Bloom, and it was recorded and mixed upstairs in Studio C at the Record Plant.

Shelly Yakus is Mr Golden Ears. There was once a console Shelly worked on that he swore there was an issue with one channel. After SSL dug into the console extensively, they found it was missing a certain capacitor on the one module that caused an oscillation at a frequency way above the human threshold. They were certain that no one was able to hear that so they swapped that module to a different channel in the board and asked Shelly to come back in the room. Shelly said the channel was fixed, however this one is doing it now and pointed out the channel they swapped it to! Super nice and humble guy, what a legend.

This song has, for some reason, always been very comforting to me.

When Shelly Yakus started talking about reverb at 2:30, my brain went straight to "Don't Fear the Reverb".

It's not just Buck Dharma' solo that rates this song in the Top 10 of Classic Rock Tracks. It's the ENTIRE BAND and THE FEEL that makes it Legendary.

One of my favorite songs. The whole 'Agents of Fortune' album is a masterpiece of so many different moods and styles.

I feel like the song is about what one should feel while they are dying. Instead of feeling guilt, shame and fear, we should feel blessed, happy and one with the eternity.

The best thing about this channel is that it makes you realize the song you love has so much more to it than what you originally thought it did and the best thing about Warren is that he’s equally amazed and in awe of not just the song but everything that’s related to the making of the song. His genuine appreciation is so great to see and sticking to the vide of this video, even feel. I mean I always liked this song, but this breakdown just gives me a whole new appreciation of this masterpiece.

The BOC catalog is so deep, criminally underrated and one of the pre eminent bands of the classic rock era.

Great insights on a timeless classic. Not only is Buck one of the greats of all time but he is about the nicest dude i think I've ever met. He is friends with a couple guys in my band and liked a couple of our songs he heard and offered to help out while we were tracking the album. Through the magic of the internet and dropbox we sent him our files in which he took and played outstanding solos on a couple of them and also mixed and produced them at his home studio! Super nice guy and a moment in time i will never forget!

BOC was a mind expanding band. A real transformative experience for me in my teen years and it still sounds great today.

I’ve watched the “Don’t Fear The Reaper” episode so many times it’s about time I leave a comment. Outstanding!!! Just like the song. I agree so much about the Buck Dharma bridge being one of the greatest. A very underrated guitarist to begin with. Buck is amazing. Great job Warren Huart and Shelly Yakus! So entertaining.
