Flat Out is a solo album by Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser, lead guitarist and vocalist for hard rock band, Blue Öyster Cult, released in 1982. Although Roeser penned and sang all of BÖC's biggest hits (" The Reaper," "Godzilla," "Burnin' For You"), the band operated as a democracy, and some of the songs he brought to the band were deemed too poppy by the others, so he released many of them on his first--and, to date, only--solo record.

  • Flat Out is a solo album by Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser, lead guitarist and vocalist for hard rock band, Blue Öyster Cult, released in 1982. Although Roeser penned and sang all of BÖC's biggest hits (" The Reaper," "Godzilla," "Burnin' For You"), the band operated as a democracy, and some of the songs he brought to the band were deemed too poppy by the others, so he released many of them on his first--and, to date, only--solo record. "Born To Rock" was the first single (and was played live by the full band on occasion in 1982, and, to the delight of hardcore fans, again in 2004), and "Your Loving Heart" was also released as a single, but neither charted well. In an ironic twist, a musical reviewer noted in his review how Buck Dharma seemed to depend heavily on a writer named 'D. Roeser' for most of his material, not realizing that was his actual name. The track "Come Softly To Me" begins with a 35-second backwards recording. When played in reverse, it is a conversation that mentions a bongo record that sounds like channel eleven music used to be. The conversation, which takes place during a game of ping-pong, ends with, "I could kick your ass but I know this is just for a sound check. " The Fan Club lyric book titles this song "Gnop Gnip" (ping pong spelled backwards).
