"The SNL More Cowbell sketch featured a character analogous to Eric Bloom named "Gene Frenkle", played by Will Ferrell (although Chris Parnell plays the character named Eric in the sketch). Both Bloom and Albert Bouchard claim to have played cowbell in the song "(Don't Fear) The Reaper".

Who's that in Terry's picture? Doesn't look like Will Ferrel.

 

[Robbie Comeau]

It's Terry?

PK Gillock put my face over Will Ferrel's.

I put my pants on just like the rest of you - one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I make gold records.
