I don't care if this song isn't as good as others of theirs or if Bloom's voice is high-pitched here or even about the cartoonish silly video...I'm so happy and amazed that they are still with us finally bringing all these otherworldly songs back to life...okay, different times, different ethics and I'm not complaining...they still rock hard ! As for the song itself to my ears is half Buck Dharma solo (Flat Out) half "Revolution By Night" (Take Me Away) and brings back nice memories (82/83 )... Not bad at all ! B. Ö. C. For Ever !!

I tend to think that the criticisms people are making of the video quality of the "Ghost Stories" songs are missing the point. Look, these videos aren't intended to be top of the line music videos for a 2024 new release. Most of these songs have been stored away in BOC's unreleased catalogue, many of them for 40 years. The videos themselves reflect that same quality: They look, in some instances, like a 1980s music video. Viewed in that light, the videos are actually excellent. Also: The videos simply give BOC fans a little window dressing and add another song element. They honor BOC's history and the names and faces that contributed to this incredible rock ensemble.

Great song and amazing work from Richie to glue all the pieces back together on that album and for having that amazing sound as these were like just demos or bits & pieces that weren't kept back in the day. But man this one sounds awsome. Liked the first one but this is a step better. Can't wait for the full deal

I know - it'll sound even less like what many know as "BOC" than this album, but I think the hard-core fans would be stoked.
