This song was written about being diagnosed with a heart defect and not being afraid of the future. It was not written about depression nor suicide.

I’m always amazed by that guitar every time I hear it. It has a totally unpredictable melodic progression and sounds like absolutely nothing else.

This is a song that I remember from my teenage years. Now it’s giving me new hope as I’m going through a very rough time in my life and I’m struggling with the dark demons of depression

I'm 65 years old and have been to at least 15 blue oyster cult concerts. The first time was in my high school graduation party. I saw them in 1989 with black Sabbath the cult played first they played (The last days of May) for the encore!!!! Then Ozzy came out and Sabbath bloody Sabbath.... The crowd bood them off the stage!!!!!! The cult came out and played another show!!!! I saw them in Baltimore with Uriah heep and stepenwolf... That's right... ROCK & ROLL.....

Damn go boy killer guitar playing.. long live the 70s… Godspeed

I whole heartedly agree - best version of this great song. And the lyrics attach to Time, Space, Life, Death, Love. What a metaphysical, existential masterpiece. And saw them live in about 1972 at a small auditorium at the Univ of Tennessee. Who knew what was going to follow.

I read many comments about how this band is extremely underrated, and it is true, but never forget that many extremely famous rock musicians were inspired by BOC and recognize them as one of the best rock ‘n roll bands to ever roam this planet.

Buck Dharma certainly nailed it this night.

No matter how many times i listen to that solo , just gotta here it one more time . Like a cook in a kitchen , recipe for success , full of flavor . Think we all lived off the 3 chord combo meals back in the day . Foundation of the greatest rock tunes ever made . Still wrestling on whether D C G or Am G F holds top spot ? So many outstanding compositions created from both . Today i go with the latter

It's so cool to watch them in the 1976 version on here then seeing this 1, how Buck Dharma's eye movements & mannerisms are the exact same.

This is sublime. The very best ever!

This is one of the better live versions I've heard, but none have ever come close to the restraint and smoothness of the studio version.

they sound awesome live just as good as recorded!definitely underated!

This song sounds awesome live…wow

Wow, this might be my favorite performance- love watching the versions throughout the years - my God this one has crazy energy to it! Double metronomes, time ticking away - wish I could share this reaction with Chucky Tester - miss you man!

this is it ! just what i wanted to hear today thank you ,,,,god bless all

This song always takes me back to my senior year in high school. Though this performance was many years later, they still delivered. Big time.

I can liston to this song all day never gets old! my favorite song by them they killed this live! and he was filthy on the guitar🤟

Going to see these guys in two weeks. This has me pumped!

Omgggggg....l wish l could've been there!!!!!!!.....what a great times & video! And song that will always be one of the best....For that and more...this is why l say: live your life...like if you are going to die the next hour!!!... Cause you never know when the Reaper will come to knock on your door!!!!????... ✌ ☮ ✌

I view buck as the person that was my dad that I never knew. He was busy out on the road making money for us. Long live Buck Dharma!!!

Around this time, I saw them perform at Buffalo Bills Casino in Primm NV just outside of Las Vegas. Awesome concert, mediocre venue. Love this band. Timeless song. This and Burning for You.

Saw them in 78 in San Antonio.

It’s incredible. You cannot add nor take away anything that would improve its greatness,

MORE COW BELL!!!!

Excellent I some times am afraid of dieing but this song makes it go away 😊

Reaper is either cheerful goth girl or tall skeleton which speaks like lead slabs were dropped to marble floor that mortals hear as deep, charismatic voice of Sir Christopher Lee. In both cases they provide necessary service.

I believe this what virtuosos refer to as "putting on a guitar clinic."

日本でブルーオイスターカルトの存在を広めたのはこの曲「死神」でした。それ以前はヘビーメタルファンに認知されていたレベルでした 。「On Your Feat or on Your Knees」で 出会ってから随分年月が経ちましたが、近年の動画配信の充実により当時の演奏の様子だけでなく最近の様子も視聴出来て大変嬉しく思っています。

I love this song!!!!

Heard the intro to this song on 1899 on Netflix. What a epic song and band.

But where is the cowbell player?
