Thanks guys for all the great responses! Bone Jangler also goes by Brad Jangler if that helps any! Perhaps this gentleman is lying/exaggerating also!

I'm coming up blank. It was Tommy Z and Jimmy Wilcox, Joe, Eric and I until Allen rejoined to go to Athens. I was thinking Al Pitrelli, but that was later.

Can't wait to see if he responds! I'll let you know! Oh and HI Buck it's great to hear from you! Love BOC!

Can't wait to see if he responds! I'll let you know! Oh and HI Buck it's great to hear from you! Love BOC! Here is Mr. Janglers answer! Enjoy! Okay, Don, here is what happened, and, it should go a long way towards explaining why Buck doesn't remember. I just told Basil Grimsby the whole story the other night. Took forever to tell via Messenger. So, I'll try to make it short. The facts are that I used to hang out at a local Rock club called Malo's. Gil, you remember Malo's quite well. There were a lot of people from the music biz that hung out there. One person who hung out that there wanted to assemble a Hard Rock band consisting of people who either played amazingly and looked good or played good and looked amazing. I was recruited for the guitar position. We had everyone but a singer. The idea was to get the band gelling before bringing in a singer. One night, our manager began getting phone calls. I was surprised that he was taking these calls during our practices. Our manager, at the request of the persons calling, would have me play lots of guitar styles that were popular at the time, lots of Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, and Yngwie Malmsteen type of stuff. Our manager had been the road manager for Black Sabbath when Ronnie James Dio was the lead singer. They had done a tour called The Black and Blue Tour, Black Sabbath and Blue Öyster Cult. Turns out that the people calling were Buck Dharma and BÖC's manager. Turns out that I'd been, more or less, auditioning for their group. Our manager thought that there was more to gain by going this route with me in an established band than there was in creating a band from the ground up. I was told that I was in BÖC, if I said, "Yes." I said, "Yes." We were to leave for New York on a Monday morning. I was in the band. I was merely going there to learn their set. Afterwards, we would tour what they call the Summer shed circuit. A few nights before we were to leave, I went to my manager's place to tell him I was nervous about leaving here and moving in with a bunch of people I don't know, but, I was READY. When I got to his place, I knew he and his woman were home. I banged on the door, over and over. Finally, his woman answered. She looked nervously to the left and to the right. I was annoyed that she had taken so long to answer the door, and, I was confused by her behavior. I asked to speak to my manager. She said he wasn't there. Asked me, "Don't you know what happened last night?" I told her I didn't. I was really annoyed, at this point. Turns out that my manager was the guy to go to for large quantities of drugs in the region, the dealer to the dealers. The place was raided, he was taken away, and, I just let the whole thing go. So, that is how I was in Blue Öyster Cult (without ever playing a gig with them), and, why Buck doesn't remember certain things from 34 years ago, and, why I'm not listed on their Wikipedia page.

I believe the term "Yikes" was fashioned solely for such occasions as this one... let me just try it and see how it sounds:
"Yikes!!!"
Yep, seems to fit...
