Did Blue Oyster Cult really use a cowbell like they made it seem in SNL?
I went to a concert of theirs a couple of months ago, I thought I did hear some cowbell...

Yes. Ever since Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones made it famous during the intro of 'Honky Tonk Women' in 1969, the cowbell became a staple in most rock bands.

I hate to tell everyone this, but Saturday Night Live (and specifically Christopher Walken) got it wrong. The song DIDN'T use a cow bell, but a wood block (another percussion instrument used in the orchestra and usually attached to the base drum on drum sets). There's a distinct sound between them and anyone that's ever had any musical training, especially in percussion, knows the difference.

Absolutely, many drummers use a cowbell. But Christopher Walkin and what's his face have made that song legendary!

Allot of drummers have a cowbell as part of their equipment.
