  • BSoD + D²: The Subhuman
    The Subhuman by The Bastard Sons of Dennis with Dave Danielli.
    Album: Cruelty to Blues
    The Subhuman is a cover song.
    Originally released by Blue Öyster Cult on their 1974 Secret Treaties album.
    Music: E. Bloom
    Lyrics: S. Pearlman
    Copyright © 1974 Columbia Music.
    This arrangement by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
    Inspiration drawn from the versions on the 1974 Secret Treaties studio album, and the 1975 live BOC album On Your Feet Or On Your Knees.
    The Subhuman was one of The Bastard Sons of Dennis's most progressive songs. Chuck would tune his guitar to a drop-D for the interpretation.
    This particular version owes much to the wonderful live On Your Feet Or On Your Knees recording, where guitarist Donald Roeser demonstrates his absolute mastery of the melodic minor.
    Within this cover there is a lot of guitar soloing. It is all highly definitive and would be performed more-or-less identically by The Bastard Sons of Dennis every time. Both Chuck and Derek take solos.
    Performers:
    Derek Broom - vocals, guitar
    Chuck Palmer - guitar
    Dave Danielli - bass
    Recorded and engineered at Wud Records Studio One, exeter uk.
    Bass recorded in north devon, November 2023.

  • BSoD + D²: Then Came the Last Days of May
    Then Came the Last Days of May by The Bastard Sons of Dennis with Dave Danielli.
    Album: Cruelty to Blues
    Then Came the Last Days of May is a cover song.
    Originally released by Blue Öyster Cult on their 1972 eponymous album.
    Music and lyrics: D. Roeser.
    Copyright © 1972 Columbia Music.
    This arrangement by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
    Inspiration drawn from the versions on the 1972 eponymous Blue Öyster Cult studio album, and the 1975 live BOC album On Your Feet Or On Your Knees.
    Then Came the Last Days of May was always a tremendously popular Bastard Sons of Dennis song. It was one of the first songs the duo ever performed, appearing in the duo's first ever live performance at The Angel in Exeter.
    The lyrics are a true story. This song was composed by Donald 'Buck Dharma' Roeser, guitarist and vocalist of Blue Öyster Cult, after three friends of his from Stony Brook University in New York were murdered in a drug deal that went very wrong.
    Derek would often change the word 'truck' in the line "Now and then a truck" to 'duck'. This was always hilarious, with his exemplary comic timing.
    Ducks became something of a theme for The Bastard Sons of Dennis. Fans would often bring their own toy ducks along to shows.
    Occasionally Chuck's lips wouldn't be moist enough to perform the little whistle that comes at the end of his solo. This was also very funny. Check would just end up blowing and puffing and shrugging in a comical way.
    The whistle actually comes from the 1970s uk sitcom The Goode Life. The character Tom Goode would often give this little whistle. Exactly where Tom took it from remains largely mysterious.
    Blue Öyster Cult perform this song in the key of E minor. The Bastard Sons of Dennis transposed it to A minor.
    The tempo increase after the first verse was Derek's suggestion. It was a very good one.
    Performers:
    Derek Broom - vocals, guitar
    Chuck Palmer - guitar, vocals, whistle
    Dave Danielli - bass
    Recorded and engineered at Wud Records Studio One, exeter uk.
    Bass recorded in north devon, October 2023.
    Produced, mixed and mastered by George Davies 2025.

  • BSoD + D²: Dominance And Submission
    Dominance and Submission by The Bastard Sons of Dennis with Dave Danielli.
    Album: Cruelty to Blues
    Dominance and Submission is a cover song.
    Originally released by Blue Öyster Cult on their 1974 Secret Treaties album.
    Lyrics: S. Pearlman
    Music: E. Bloom, A. Bouchard
    Copyright © 1974 Columbia Music.
    This arrangement by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
    Inspiration drawn from the Secret Treaties and Extra Terrestrial Live versions.
    Recorded at 164 BPM.
    During a live Bastard Sons of Dennis performance, there would be a bit of chat, such as thanks to the venue and sound guy and personel introductions, after the guitar solo and before the "Dominance", "Submission" section.
    In the long pauses before "It will be time!", Derek and Chuck would spin their guitars upside down. Stuck on the back of Chuck's guitar was a large sign that read "Throw panties now!", and on the back of Derek's was a similar sign that read "If no panties, bras!"
    Very few undergarments were ever actually tossed onto the stage, apart from on one occasion when somebody had brought a big bag full of old knickers and distribued them to the audience. Both the stage and the band were covered in them!
    Performers:
    Derek Broom - vocals, guitar
    Chuck Palmer - guitar, vocals
    Dave Danielli - bass
    Recorded and engineered at Wud Records Studio One 2011-2017.
    Bass recorded October 2023.
    Produced, mixed and mastered by George Davies at Wud Records Studio One, central Europe 2025.

  • BSoD + D²: Wings Wetted Down
    Wings Wetted Down by The Bastard Sons of Dennis with Dave Danielli.
    Album: Cruelty to Blues
    Wings Wetted Down is a cover song.
    Originally released by Blue Öyster Cult on their 1973 Tyranny and Mutation album.
    Music and lyrics: A. Bouchard, J. Bouchard.
    Copyright © 1973 Columbia Music.
    This arrangement by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
    Inspiration drawn from the 1973 Tyranny and Mutation album.
    Wings Wetted Down is a truly wonderful song, often overlooked. The craftsmanship of its composition by the legendary Bouchard brothers is masterful.
    This version is in G# minor. The chord progressions are so beautifully constructed, with a minor second A major and a 'devil's interval' flattened fifth chord of D major providing a gloriously satisfying twist.
    Both Chuck and Derek take solos. Derek's is an addition that is not found on the original version.
    Wings Wetted Down was always a very popular live song. It was performed on many occasions by The Bastard Sons of Dennis and introduced by the band with a cryptic and comical description.
    Performers:
    Derek Broom - vocals, guitar
    Chuck Palmer - guitar, vocals
    Dave Danielli - bass
    Recorded and engineered at Wud Records Studio One, exeter uk.
    Bass recorded in north devon, February 2024.

    She's as Beautiful as a Foot by The Bastard Sons of Dennis with Dave Danielli.
    Album: Cruelty to Blues
    She's as Beautiful as a Foot is a cover song.
    Originally released by Blue Öyster Cult on their 1972 eponymous album.
    Music and lyrics: A. Bouchard, A. Lanier, R. Meltzer.
    Copyright © 1972 Columbia Music.
    This arrangement by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
    Inspiration drawn from the 1972 eponymous Blue Öyster Cult studio album.
    The percussion instrument at the beginning of this recording is an old disused CPU fan and its various danglesome janglesome appendages.
    Chuck would tune his guitar to DADGAD for this interpretation of this song.
    She's as Beautiful as a Foot was sometimes used to open longer Bastard Sons of Dennis performances.
    Derek takes the solo at the beginning.
    Performers:
    Derek Broom - vocals, guitar, percussion

    Music: J. Bouchard, A. Bouchard.
    Lyrics: S. Pearlman.
    Copyright © 1974 Columbia Music.
    This arrangement by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
    Inspiration drawn mostly from the 1974 Secret Treaties studio album.
    Chuck would often introduce this song by telling the crowd that it was famously covered by Metallica. "We wrote it of course! Cough ahem..."
    A few artistically tasteful variations on the original have been made for this version.
    One of the composers, Joe Bouchard, listened to it and granted his royal seal of approval.
    Both Derek (panned right) and Chuck (panned left) take solos during the song.
    Astronomy was often the final song of a live set from The Bastard Sons of Dennis.

  • BSoD + D²: Redeemed
    Redeemed by The Bastard Sons of Dennis with Dave Danielli.
    Album: Cruelty to Blues
    Redeemed is a cover song.
    Originally released by Blue Öyster Cult on their 1972 eponymous album.
    Music and lyrics: A. Bouchard, A. Lanier, H. Farcas, S. Pearlman.
    Copyright © 1972 Columbia Music.
    This arrangement by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
    Inspiration drawn from the version on the eponymous Blue Öyster Cult studio album.
    Redeemed was always a tremendously popular Bastard Sons of Dennis song. It was one of the first songs the duo ever performed live.
    It was added to their repertoire for one of their first ever shows, which happened to be just before Christmas. They would describe Redeemed as their Christmas song, even if it was the middle of summer.
    The count-in for a live performance was "One, one," or two other random numbers. This was due to the rather odd amount of beats at the beginning.
    The guitars in this version were both recorded live at the same time in Wud Records Studio One. The vocals were added afterwards, and the bass a long time later.
    Performers:
    Derek Broom - vocals, guitar
    Chuck Palmer - guitar, vocals
    Dave Danielli - bass
    Recorded and engineered at Wud Records Studio One, exeter uk.
