In the April 2002 issue of Guitar World (p.82) there is an interview with Buck Dharma (Donald Roeser), the lead guitar player of Blue Öyster Cult.
When questioned about what equipment he used in the studio to record the band's hit "Don't Fear the Reaper", he replied:
"The amp I used was a Music Man 4x10 combo, and the guitar I used for the rhythm parts was a Gibson ES-175. For the solo, I used an SG."
I guess it's now OK (or even fashionable)to reveal that you used a Music Man amplifier 25 years ago to make your hit recordings! They seem to be coming out of the woodwork recently.
