(27,473 posts)Seems they were opening for everybody back then. Blue Oyster Cult too. I have a special fondness for this song. It transports me to a much different world.

(92,388 posts)The NPR station in my area has taken to playing cool riffs from interesting places for their "filler" spots in between shows and one of them is the opening riff from "What You Gonna Do About Me?" which is one of the greatest of all time intros ever in the genre.

Love this song though.
