It's ironic that NBC does a skit about a song and then decades later won't allow three seconds of the skit to be shown in a video interview with the actual writer of the song. Too many damn lawyers.

Classic rock artists need to watch this carefully and understand that Rick is the most important person carrying the torch of their music to the next generations, and if they don't stop this copyright madness, they will be left behind. Thank you Dharma and Rick!

Blue Ouster Cult is the most diverse band I've ever heard. Why they've been completely snubbed by the music industry is beyond comprehension.

Buck is such a great guitarist. Criminally underrated. He is one of the great innovators

When I was recovering from major open heart surgery and a severe stroke. My daughter and I sang it in the hospital ward, while she hit a book with a pencil intimating Will Ferrell. Sometimes you just gotta laugh at death.I'd rather hit the end of the trail with a smile on my face and laughter, than slouched over with self pity. thank you gentlemen.It's amazing what music and laughter can do for the human soul.

I was B.O.C.'s sound man for the first 12 years of their endless touring journey and, indeed, Buck's Reaper demo features a cardboard box accompaniment. He does play drums, by the way. I have a YouTube channel where I post many of the exclusive tracks I collected back in the day from our rehearsal process and tours.

Don “Buck Dharma” Roeser is one of the most underrated guitarists ever.

I remember when my daughter was in her mid-teens when she wanted nothing to do with me or anything I liked, especially music. We were in the car together and this song came on the radio. I could literally see it grab her attention as she heard the lyrics and the music for the first time. It was a great example of the amazing power of music to bridge gaps between people. We could agree on at least one thing...'This is a REALLY good song!'

This song is pure genius. Just the opening riff would have made it an iconic song. But there are a dozen more parts of this song that are equally iconic. I honestly don't know how any mortal human being can create such a masterpiece. Buck, if you're reading this, you've brought joy to people the world over with this song. Thank you.

Buck's feel when he plays that solo still whips ass.

The solo after the key change is like a struggle or a fight with the reaper. Crying out in pain as Buck goes through a heart attack. Then calm again as his life is returned to normal and the bell keeps beating with the high hat tremors of a heart murmur. Beautiful to know the story behind the song. Than you Rick.

It really is one of the greatest songs ever. I remember hearing it the first time in a friend's car on party night. We were all blown away. Same thing happened when Heart's Magic Man came on. They gave us hope in the disco era.

The solo in this song is one of the creepiest and most interesting leads I've ever heard. Every time I hear it I wonder how they came up with it. Also NBC sucks for making you take a 3 second GIF out.

I love Buck’s solos because he builds them, weaving different phrases together, changing tempo at times, creating solos that you rarely hear. His solos take you on a journey

The genius of the man is unreal. How could he put together such sophistication at such a young age? Wow!

People should listen to the album they put out in 2020, The Symbol Remains. One of the best albums they've made and easily my favorite new album over the last few years.

The greatest musical meme ever is Nigel Tufnel's "These go to eleven." scene. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 But this is a close second. Great video!

"There should be a compilation record of cowbell songs." Couldn't agree more.

I'm going to have an "OK Boomer" moment, but I have to say that Reaper is the essence of what I love about classic rock. It's multidimensional! A lot of what I hear today is ear candy by comparison. Songs like Reaper take the listener on a JOURNEY!

I was blessed to see BOC last night 12/4/22 in Honolulu, at a smaller venue. AMAZING! Thank you Rick for the wonderful videos 🙏
