The top metal act in the US during the '70's and early '80's was NYC's Blue Öyster Cult. One of the tightest bands of any era, and known for their amazing live shows complete with a laser show second to none, the group churned out an impressive list of metal music.
From their album Fire of Unknown Origin, this is a remastered live performance of Veteran of the Psychic Wars. You may recognize it from the film Heavy Metal. Watch one of the best guitar solos ever as Buck Dharma thrashes it:
I really wouldn't consider them metal nowadays. Classic rock is what they are now. I like them though. My favorite song of theirs . . . Godzilla of course!
