This thread reminded me of @snowboarder_bo since this would be something he would comment on. It also reminded me I haven’t seen him for awhile. I see he had a temp suspension back in January and hasn’t been back. Too bad. ---

Sure, a little jarring, especially upon first listen, but ISTM wholly appropriate for the song’s morbid subject. > [@Exapno\_Mapcase](#): > > I wouldn’t mind happy-go-lucky as a descriptor. Something I would never, ever apply to Bloodrock.

Remember it well. It made me fearful of flying. Something about the line, “we were flying along, and hit something in the air” is just chilling. These cats even covered it live! (shaving about 2 minutes off of it): [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/yny933cxtms/maxresdefault.jpg "Evil Triplet covering "D.O.A." By Bloodrock") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yny933cxtms) ---
