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!

Which song would YOU love to hear about? We'll see what we can do! ;)
I'm Not In Love by 10cc
one of my fav songs ever! thanks Warren. More cowbell! lol
Enter sandman by metallica would be nice as the drum sounds are iconic to me. Or if you could, talk to Flemming Rasmussen or Michael Wagner about Master of Puppets. I'll name my first born after you for that Warren, male or female lol.
Out on the weekend
How To Save A Life, The Fray!
What? Another song 'inside'? You are too kind sir! I'd request anything by Queen of course!
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.
Thanks ever so much for letting us know!!
Just wanted to say how amazing it was to see this. I think I could watch a four hour documentary on this song. Thank you, BOC!
Thank you so much for allowing us to see under the hood of this epic tune.
It would be interesting to re-record this song with modern techniques to compare and to contrast (e.g. running to a click track and having musicians record their parts separately). Then again, this would be more of an exercise to prove what we already know; the vitality and energy of the song would wither away, I think.
Check out Cult Classic! They did re-record a lot of their hits. I believe it came out in the late '90s.
Buck Dharma is one of the best guitarists ever... very underrated.
Agreed 100%!! Amazing guitar player!!
@@Producelikeapro The song is NOT about suicide btw. Buck wrote the song in his basement in 10 days in isolation because he was worried that he was going to die young of a heart condition. This is his solution, that love is eternal & if he had died young he'd wait decades for his wife to join him (this happens at the end of the song when the deceased male comes back for his dying partner many years later, no suicides) ....
I agree as well
Thanks for sharing@@stevenwilkinson1265! What an incredible songwriting Buck Dharma is, not to mention a truly insanely talented guitarist!! Plus, what an incredible song! Everything about this is truly wonderful! Yes, I looked up Buck's explanation and found a handful of different ones, however I have noticed that the most recent ones have settled on the idea you have listed above. It's a wonderful part of the song writing process that often clarity comes with age! I've read many artists who realised that they really meant something else! Thanks for your marvellous comment!
@@Producelikeapro Albert & Joe Bouchard were filmed a few years ago explaining Buck's motivation about writing (& recording) the song on his own in 76 ... it's fears over illness & not any suicide pact etc ... Joe also explained that the "La's" were originally there because Buck was going to add more lyrics to the song ... Joe said to him "Leave the La;s man" ... he was right !!!
A great video from you guys, thanks!! .... the separated tracks of Buck's vocal & guitar parts absolutely melted me away, I didn't think that would be possible after 40 years of loving this song. Also the quality of the Bouchards' work as well when isolated .. the swing & bounce in Albert's drums etc ...
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.
Alfredo that's an awesome story made me think of one of the great innovators Tom Dowd.
I believe the frequency was around 50k in fact. I always think about how he could have heard that but the presence of a 50k tone will have an effect on lower frequencies. Of course you'd have to have amazing ears to even hear that effect!
Rupert Neve told the exact same story about Geoff Emerick. Makes me wonder if one the stories is more legend than fact, and which one.
@@Beelzybud I can't speak for Rupert, but I have worked for the SSL tech that was part of this repair for 6 years now, and met Shelly several times at Aftermaster while working on that 8k they are sitting behind, that's how I know the story. I am sure Shelly isnt the only person able to hear these harmonics, and I do sometimes encounter manufacturing mistakes like this, not often, but they are not exceedingly rare. I don't doubt it has happened more than once.
wow!!! thanks for share!
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.
Of course! Agreed 100%! I'm friends with Joe Bouchard and I'm a huge fan!!
@@Producelikeaproawesome! one of my fave singer/songwriters of all time.
When Shelly Yakus started talking about reverb at 2:30, my brain went straight to "Don't Fear the Reverb".
These historical deconstruction are simply AMAZING!! Thank you so much!
Thanks ever so much Nicola!! I have so much fun doing this!!
This song has, for some reason, always been very comforting to me.
It’s an amazing song
One day I hope I can interview like Warren can! So relaxed yet getting all the good questions we want. Thanks for your insights :)
That's what I think about your way of explaining and breaking things down when I watch your channel ;-)
Michael, try to interview Ultravoxs drummer Warren Cann, like Warren can😉. Sorry couldn’t help it. You are doing a great job on your one.
You do amazing work Michael!!
@@Producelikeapro haha, now I felt flattered for half a second, before I realized that you are talking to the other Michael.. haha ;-)
brace yourself for the incoming "more cowbell" jokes!
I guess you were first to it.....😁
Well.... itìs good for the economy of cowbell manufacturers. That alone can boost the GDP by 10%. True story! ;)
Dude this is the only song that has enough cowbell
Haha yes indeed aymeric Marchand!!
@Ed Lucas That is exactly why my drum set has two cowbells!
This is a prime example of the jewels available through UA-cam.
Aw shucks thanks ever so much my friend!
and sadly demontized no doubt by the label's copyright police....leeches!!
An important part of the riff is the open G string ringing free which to me is like a bell tolling persistently through the riff and very poignant in the context of the song. Everyone mentions the cowbell but for me the most important "bell" in the song is the open G.
PS. The technical term is pedal tone.
All about the drums bro :-)
Totally agree, the 3rd string ringing instead of being muted between chords is the building block of the song. As a keyboard player, I love the organ details as well on the end of the chorus, really polishes the song.
agreed....I always thought, that part of the riff, was reminiscent of Davy Johnstone's transition/opening riff, to "Love Lies Bleeding", which is same key (Am), same 3 chords (Am, G, F [plus a "c"]), and has a "ringing G"....
Yes, that ringing open G note take makes the song. Without it, the riff wouldn't sound right....
Ask not for whom the bell tolls - the G is a heart beat - don’t fear the reaper
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!
Wow - that is awesome! He seems like he'd be a pretty cool guy..
rapidsdrummer travis you big lucky! What an experience to be in his greatness. Y’all were blessed...
And thanks for the shout out. ;-)!
Thank you Joe!! You Rock my friend!!
You guys made a classic that will be discovered by future generations
Buck is one of the most incredible and sadly overlooked guitarists ever!! His sound, style, chops and feel are massive. LOVE, LOVE BLUE OYSTER CULT!!
Yes. I was in a cover band for a few years - we played Burnin for You, Reaper, and Cities on Flame, and we tried to play perfect versions (which we never did, but we certainly were dialed in on the nuances of the playing)... the lead parts are just outstanding in every way. Like the guy says - "Do you hear what he's saying?" - his solos are lyrical. They sing. Like no one else, yet you never see him in a TopXX list... in spite of the success of reaper. Having played his music gave me such a massive appreciation of his style. Perfect solos, every time. One of the best ever.
Same here! Such a great and unique band..
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.
The BOC catalog is so deep, criminally underrated and one of the pre eminent bands of the classic rock era.
One of the most underrated bands ever..... and that Buck Dharma guitar sound......
Hi Chris, I know! Buck is such an amazing guitar player!!
@@Producelikeapro Buck really laid down his SG/LP, for an ES-175 for this??
One of my favorite songs. The whole 'Agents of Fortune' album is a masterpiece of so many different moods and styles.
Morning Final 🥲🥲🥲
This song is basically Ghost's entire career.
Thank you! A friend of mine showed me the first Ghost album when it came out. I said..."Bah! BlueOysterCult!"
IF you ever manage to score an interview with Mutt Lange about AC/DC's "Back in Black," you will have well and truly achieved emperor/god/king status in the audio engineering community. Imagine never having to pay for drinks EVER AGAIN! Hot women everywhere will be throwing themselves at you! (Sorry, Mrs. Huart....) Your picture will adorn every recording studio in the free or oppressed world!
This is one of those all time greats that never become boring , no matter how many times you've heard it
I agree 100% my friend!!
Roeser’s playing is timeless. Always spot on never a wasted note and that tone!!!
the guitar sound is absolutely beautiful
I agree 100%!!
BOC was a mind expanding band. A real transformative experience for me in my teen years and it still sounds great today.
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.
Its about hopeless romanticism, deception, and the consequences of embracing the moment
"I got a FEVER, and there is only one prescription: MORE COWBELL!"
Wow what a great breakdown of one of the best classic rock songs that doesn't ever get its due! Hearing the parts in isolation is always mind blowing. BOC always near and dear to me as a fellow alumni of Stony Brook University. I walked the same dorm halls as they, albeit 15 years later...but their presence could still be felt whenever someone played this song or "Burning For You" in Benedict, Langmuir or James halls.
Shelly Yakus puts his pants on every morning just the same as you and me, But he makes gold records. Hes gonna have you all wearing gold plated diapers!
such an unassuming and mild mannered guy Shelly is...you would never know the power in his hands
He's got an ED problem!
I've heard the song on the radio countless times but having it broken down like this is just awesome. That guitar sound good god, I'm going to have to try that multi mic, heavy limit some and blend technique.
Thanks ever so much Marcus! You Rock my friend!!
What a fantastic video. BOC was one of my favorite bands back in my teens. They were more prog rock than anything else. Their song Astronomy was the first BOC song I heard. I went that day and bought the album Secret Treaties. I was hooked. Been a fan ever since.
Several years ago I met Buck, Eric Bloom and Rudy Sarzo (bass quiet riot) who was playing bass w/the band at the time. All really nice guys. Very down to Earth.
Well, after this wonderful interview I'm going to check out your other interviews w Shelly Yakus.
Thanks for a great video. It made my evening!
love prog,it’s about all instruments creating a one soind,prog’s forte.
Wow! That is just amazing.
Thanks ever so much
Sounds like Shelly is proud of his contribution on this great song - and he should be!
One of my favorite rock songs of all time.
Thanks Jed for sharing! Always good to read your comments!
Shelly is a musical treasure. Take the time to get more from him on stuff he did. He knows so much and time is so short.
Thanks ever so much!!
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.
Wow! That’s high praise indeed! Thanks ever so much for your wonderful comment
Blue oyster cult was my first 💙 Album and at the time it came out and the second it started playing I couldn't move I was blown away.outstanding
GREAT BREAKDOWN OF ONE OF ROCK,s GREAT GUITARIST AND SINGER,s,BASS ,DRUM,s,EVER RECORDED. BLUE OYSTER CULT, WROTE SO MANY GOOD SONGS, MOST PEOPLE HAVEN'T EVEN HEARD THEM. THEY WERE MEANT TO BE AHEAD OF TIME.😎🎸🔊🎶🎼☮️ BOB
Man, these series are AWESOME!!!
Dream episode: get Martin Birch and do an Iron Maiden track!
Or even get Martin Birch and do one of the songs on *Fire Of Unknown Origin.* 🙂
Man, I LOVED this! Amazing breakdown/discussion. I could watch videos like this all day.
Thanks ever so much my friend!!
Really loving these "inside the song" videos, So much learning. All I have to say is more please.
Paul Lucas aw shucks thanks ever so much my friend!
That guitar was one of the biggest reasons why I HAD to learn to play guitar many years ago! Gave me shivers back then and still does today!
Where do I plead and beg for allowing the complete track to be released? That finale was as mesmerizing as the rest of the song.
"Agents of Fortune" is easily one of only a few albums of all-time where i can not only listen to both A and B sides in thier entirety, but every. single. song. on that album is just... perfect to me. Listening to that album makes me feel so good, the songs each have this feeling of thier own, like an aura... BOC were amazing at that. Such a great group, great musicians... Buck the coolest guitarist of the era. I love his style! Rock on and party on, dudes!
Woah woah woah... hold on... I thought Bruce Dickenson produced this???
THE Bruce Dickenson.
Haha yes, indeed Gary!
Bet they were wearing gold-plated diapers after this tune. LOL
Pretty sure he just flew their plane.
B.B. Wiggs what does that even mean?
It needs more cowbell.
It would be interesting to hear Shelly discuss recording The Raspberries and the Roger Mayer RM57 compressor, on 'Go All The Way', etc.
Another super tune I really dug the Raspberries.Shelley has had a long and distinguished career.A behind the scenes guy you don't often hear about like IMO a Jerry Ragavoy.
In my top 10 songs of all time!! Fantastic to hear the different parts and Shelly Yakus'
insights! As ever brilliantly interviewed and illustrated Warren!! Keep them coming!!
I've always loved the ambient tonality and mood of this song - Thank you for this interview, and for your informative video series in general! Great work! 😊
I had the incredible privilege of having the late Sandy Pearlman as a lecturer at the University of Toronto. I cannot emphasize enough his intellectual prowess and if you have the time I highly recommend you check out anything of him speaking on UA-cam, whether it's about Wagner paving the sonic path to distorted guitars with his brass orchestration, disagreeing with Steve Jobs about music in the digital era, or even answering stupid questions about more cowbell. The dude was, and always will be, a legend, and I'm so thankful to have heard him fly in to speak to us every week for a semester.
I've been meaning to look into him more, I know he's contributed a lot of lyrics to BOC, and based his work on things like Astronomy are just pure and beautiful poetry. Taken from us just a bit too soon I think.
Get a life if you thumbs down...Excellent work..Too good.
Haha thanks ever so much!!
Just discovered this series. Awesome analysis. I know you can't cover everything but would really like to know how he got that feel of depth and space on those vocals. More specifics please!
I know, didn't get enough specifics on the drums either.
I really love your analysis of this song! So cool to hear the engineer that mixed it and another engineer who obviously appreciates it for the master piece it is! Loved hearing all the different tracks isolated! Not something that I've really ever heard before, even though I've heard this song a million times more than the average listener. At one point I'm feeling the hair standing up on my arms and getting goose bumps and at the exact same moment you guys are saying that your arm hair is standing on end too! LOL! I LOVE THIS SONG! Heard it a million times because its in my regular rotation on my soundtrack of life, not just when it comes on the radio. In fact tonight on the 25 minute drive home from work, I listened to just DFTR! 2 different versions back to back to back. Buck Dharma is the most underrated guitar player in classic rock, and so is the whole band. Been a fan of this band since 1973! Seen them over 60 times in concert. After all these years, I still have just BOC playlists that I listen to daily! GREAT VIDEO! THANKS FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER! BOC!!! ON TOUR FOREVER!!!!
Dominic Zito yanks ever so much! We are so glad to be able to help! Yes, what an amazing band and an amazing song!!
Let's just face it. He has the best ear For recording.
I love how you can hear them speeding up and slowing down. It sounds like a HUMAN and not a MACHINE!
I agree 100% Jason!!
@Robert Appel Well said! We will bring that back. The musicians are here watching this stuff and learning about the past, and we will take music back to its roots
I was listening from the jump, but "Tyranny and Mvtation" stands as a monument in (really) Hard Rock.
Do something by the Deftones! I'd love to hear how songs like Change, My Own Summer or Be Quiet and Drive
Amazing idea!!
You forgot “please” dude
@@MM1717mm ahh shit your right. Please
Dude, that's my all-time favorite band! Some people might not know it, but there are a TON of little audio tricks on their albums. I really wish he would an interview with the producer for the album Around the Fur.
I saw Blue Oyster Cult live, with my son, about 8 or 9 years ago. Two original members, including the guitarist. He had no pedal board, just two pedals on the floor plus a tuner. He sounded just like the record.
Edited for clarification
I love his "Cheeseburger" guitar, the one that looks as if the entire body of the guitar is made of a slab of Swiss cheese.
Thank you for examining this beautiful masterpiece!!
You’re very welcome
@ 9:24... real drummer, probably no click and as Shelly said... "it's fun to listen to" and "you let it be". Great qualities to have on a track.
Brandon Kraemer agreed 100% my friend!
Albert Bouchard. After BOCs 2nd album I voted him the best drummer in the Circus Magazine poll. Listen to that album. When I heard it I was immediately hooked. BOC was my band. I've seen them live in 74 New Orleans, 82 Baton Rouge,87 Dinkelsbuhl,Germany,98 El Paso,2000 El Paso.
Almost forgot..."I gotta feeva! And the only prescription is MORE COWBELL!" :)
One of my favorite songs of all time. Timeless music.
Buck Dharmas non-blues-"blues" style is why I love this band soooo much. The entire album has this dark/verby overtone that makes this a great record.
From the very first time I heard DFTR, I was Entranced!
Same here Beverly and I'm still entranced to this day.
Intersection of Lumpkin Road and Peach Orchard Road in Augusta ... late September or early October 1976 ... on the way to classes at what was then known as Augusta College ... radio station WBBQ ... same intersection where I first felt the effects of THC a year and a half later
I was at Capital Records having a 45 mastered. The Album being mastered at the time was Blue Oyster Cult. I remember thinking this song is great.
That’s amazing! Thanks for sharing
Great to hear this! I'm very interested in this recording's REVERB! This is my favourite use of reverb ever! Any ideas or information about the style of reverb... what reverb methods were employed... I feel that the reverb is the cohesive element. Yakus mentions how dead the room was so how was life (reverb) bestowed??? :)
EMT plate. Total classic smooth studio reverb.
@@OFR Thanks !
wtf isnt BOC in the rock roll hall of fame yet crap like janet jackson is?!?!?!?!?! someone should terminate rolling stone magazine also
And Stevie Nicks is the only woman to be nominated TWICE! MORE THAN ARETHA FRANKLIN! Come on! Nicks sounds like a sheep when she sings. "Sings a song. Sounds like she's singing". They must have gotten a fresh shipment that day.
Wow, Warren, what an awesome interview! Shelly, you rock! You're bringing back some incredible memories.
Mr. Bouchard, thanks for your contributions to this incredible track and all the rest. And though All our times will come eventually, your music will live on.
Thank YOU Joe!! You Rock my friend!!
Yes, so amazing@@PvtGrips-vh7ti! Joe rules!
I was 10 feet from Buck Dharma when I saw them in a small club. What a great live band.
That guitar tone! I'm feeling kind of weak in the knees.
Let me know when you figure out what peddles those were, okay?
(Is it possible there were none?)
There were none as far as I Shelly remembers!
that song is as mesmerizing today as when I first heard it in !1978 ( song released 1976)
Dang. That ending! I want that version released.
They always end the track like that live.. Monster ending.
Blue Oyster Cult, one of the most under rated bands of all time and "kings of the Macabre".
Richard Lamb amazing band!!
Richard Lamb, but I ain't no sheep.
This Man is responsible for More CowBell !
haha it apparently was one of the Producers idea! Shelly Engineered and recorded the song!
hahahah not funny
It's got sort of a soft white underbelly😁
Never fear, at least I get it!
Oh, And Buck Dharma is an amazing... incredible ... most underrated guitarist.. I am a front row person and yes, I sit right in front of him at all times..Stare at the guitar playing amazement
This intangible "thing" you're talking about... Since you asked which songs we wanted to learn about... I get that eerie feeling when listening to Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams"...
Tobi Tobsen Thanks ever so much! Yes, that’s a truly amazing song!!
Tobi Tobsen wow I always felt that too , but have never seen some else mention it .
As a farmer, I would be so overjoyed to put that bell on my cow.
You can hear a bit of the previous iteration of BOC, Stalk-Forrest Group, in this song. Really educational video.
Wow, I can never get enough of Shelly. When I was able to meet and listen to his stories I had tears in my eyes. Thank you for that Warren. Listening to the BOC Tracks just give me the chills. Bucks voice in this song has kinda a Mike Love sound to it on the Vox track. Shelly is a True Master.
Foreplay/Long Time by Boston please. If you can crack Tom Scholz, that would be Mahhhhhvelous.
Aaron Doerr yes, that would be incredible indeed!
Anything Tom Scholz ❤️
It's an absolute masterpiece of an experience ("song" doesn't do it justice) There's nothing more I can add!
Hey Shelly!!!! Hey Warren!! I love the camera angles. Still watching the interview as I type and loving it!
Thanks ever so much Matt!! You Rock!
Before you guys said it I literally thought to myself about how I had goosebumps from the guitar! Incredible!
I love hearing the individual parts.
Why don’t bands make great music anymore. We freak out listening to that old stuff. I never get that feeling with new stuff very often. Is it the energy? What happened to music.
I don't know if this was discussed yet, but at 21:00 sounds like more like a nylon string than a keyboard to me. Really interesting dissection. More please!
Hi Ray, we believe it's a Clavinet doubling the main riff lead guitar part.
Hey! I got a fever! And the only proscription... is more ........... BOC!
I hear the pick hitting the pickup!
Albert was or shall i say is allot better drummer than he ever got credit for, huge part of the original lineup he and Joe both. And to the guy that thinks Buck has a cool name his real name is Donald Rosier, would think as much as you are into the band you would know that, i don't think Shelly wanted to ruin it for him.😬
hearing this song always freaked me out ... like a really good horror movie. "Produce Like A Pro" you did an UNREAL job soloing all the key parts and delving into it with the guy who produced it, thank you!!! really interesting to hear his technique for limiting /compression hard with a few mics for that gives you that detail in the picking of guitar and leaving the room guitar mic and the other close mic on the amp untouched (non compressed / limited)... really learned a lot and intend to try this with my future projects !! Again, thank you so much for this !!!
This is one of my all time favorite songs so thank you sooooo much for giving us a behind the scenes in the shadows look inside this masterpiece.
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it!
Shelly is a good friend and I am blessed that he shared so much with us!
Hard Day’s Night Chord at 16:08
It's my favorite song of all. Imagine what that means. Of all of the fabulous music available, THIS is MY favorite. Not just the music but the lyrics, too.
Thanks ever so much! Glad you enjoyed the video! Great. great song!
@Produce Like A Pro - I'd love to have Marilyn Manson do a version of Don't fear the Reaper. As for my other favorites, maybe do a similar video on Nothing else matters by Metallica? Or, Stairway to Heaven? Please.
Same, and I'm 24 and it's been the case since I'm 15... Love at first sight
I love this song more than the first time I heard it. I cannot turn it off once it begins. GREAT breakdown , just great to hear it from an engineers ear.
Great stuff ... my favorite band of all time. What I wouldn't do to get the stems for that tune!!!
I said it before when you published the first Shelly vid on You Tube, 'more Shelly, please'. You've done some wonderful interviews with a host of excellent and legendary engineers, but I like this guy and love his focus, recall and input. Here's hoping. Thank you
Didn't Mr. Yakus, whose work I very much admire, also work on a couple of John Lennon's albums?
Yes, he did!!
this video is legendary, seriously. Thank you warren!!!
Thanks ever so Cameron! That's very kind of you!
Buck never said anything about suicide. You should edit this video.
