Mommie's alright, daddy's alright....you know the drill.
Weigh in mofos.
Have you ever cranked that "Gonna Raise Hell" song?
Have you ever heard "He's a whore?"
Good grief, that Zander could scream.....
Any thoughts?

Dream Police is a classic album, no doubt.
Amazing Bun E. Carlos hasn't dropped dead from smoking. Don't think I've seen him without one in his mouth...like, ever.
Rick has one serious guitar collection.
Always digged their live version of "Aint That A Shame", as well.
Scramby eggs and bacon.
Got to open for them a few years back.
Bun's son did the sound check. They played the theme song to That 70's Show [Alex Chilton from Big Star co-wrote I think]
They were still getting a 20K guarantee. They rocked that night.
Too many great songs to list......

A friend of mine got to open up for them as well, way back when...I think "Next Position Please" tour.
He just goes on and on about 'em all being really down to earth fuckers....
Every time I've seen 'em, they just friggin' nail it....loud as hell.
Dude,
They WERE the most down to earth, happy guys. Just loving the road after all these years.....
But they BROUGHT it. Chops were all there. Tight as a mutherfucker.
And Robin hit 'em all. They even did the Flame. I thought it would blow live, but it even rocked.
Zander does the awesome Roth scream in the Budakon "Aint' that a Shame"
Friggin love that!!! That song is one of the best covers EVER!
Love the way they do "Don't Be Cruel" too.
Totally underated
Amazing talent
great thread, I'm too drunk to write anymore...love these guys though
TLC
You KNOW I got the blues.
Can you dig it?
Welcome to Massachusetts. Now get the FUCK out of my way!
Saw them at HARPO'S in DETROIT years ago. FUCKING AMAZING live band. Dead nuts tight, killer tone, & excellent stage show.
Zander's voice seems to get better w/age. I saw 'em a year ago and he sounded as good as ever. Nielson's a real trip!

I like them, their popularity reached our shores. Dream police was
killer. I loved Rick Neilsens whacky guitar collection. I thought they borrowed heavily on the Beatles "While my guitar gently weeps" for "If you want my love you got it". But I think every band in the world has plaguerised the Beatles at one point.
Great Band !
BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !
Love ya Mary Frances!
In Color... What an album!
Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?
It's like putting up a YouTube of Bach and playing Chopstix on your Bontempi...
I see Cheap Trick EVERYTIME they come to town, they are fucking awesome!!, And yes, Gonna Raise Hell is my favorite!!
Cheap Trick are fucking INCREDIBLE. I have seen them live twice. The just rock. They get up on stage and take care of Business.Originally posted by rustoffa

Susie and I got to meet Bun E. Carlos and Rick Neilson when we went to see them last year.
Robin Zander is one the best singers on the planet.
Bun E. Carlos is a hack but fits the sound of Cheap Trick.
Tom Petersson is a GREAT Bass Player and he invented the 12 string Bass.
Rick Neilson is a fucking GENIUS. Awesome guitar player, Writes AMZING songs etc, etc, etc.
i love cheap trick. the budakon is one the best live albums ever made.
Cheap Trick are fuckin brilliant, Live At The Budokan is masterpiece.
My Dad saw them at Hammersmith 1979 and he taped it. Theres one song near the beginning I believe its called "When we're together", its fuckin quality, but when I looked through there albums I couldnt see it. Maybe its a B-Side?
Whats the post Budokan stuff like?

It's all good bro.
Get yourself the "Sex, America, Cheap Trick" box set and rock the fuck out.
The "Essential Cheap Trick" 2 disc deal is a good sampler as well.
first concert I went to was Cheap Trick in 79 or 80 - whenever Dream Police came out. they were fuckin' awesome. Haven't really listened to them lately but love the old stuff.
He's a Whore, Surrender etc, great songs. Yeah some very obvious stealing from the Beatles sometimes, but a great band.
Cheers for the link Rustoffa. I only have live at the Budokan, can you recommend some albums to pick up?
The first 4 studio albums are already on the list, any other personal favourites? Even though you said the Essential and the Box set, wasn't sure if there were any other studio gems.

My favorite is the first record currently.
The self-titled release from '97 got absolutely no attention and is pretty fucking good.
Like I said, just get that box set...the liner notes are very informative...George Martin is quoted in there regarding working with 'em. I guess that explains the whole beatles dealio.
It's really comprehensive and you can just pick which album you want to grab next based on whatever.
The "Silver" DVD is killer...all kinds of fuckheads show up to play with 'em. Slash walks out and promptly breaks some strings on his geetar.
Someone hands him another one, and after the song, Nielsen goes, "Slash broke some strings pretty quick there, luckily I have a few spares."
I was just listening to "I Want You to Want Me". Such a simple little tune, but also so very cool.

3 Chords and The Truth, baby
C-F-G
A-D-E
G-D-C
And so forth..........
Don't forget C - Am - F - G!
Where would Stand By Me, Every Breath You Take, Earth Angel and every other rock ballad be without that li'l baby?
Cheap Trick are truly rock icons that should also be included in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. As a matter of fact, Van Halen and Cheap Trick are the two most underrated American rock bands in history. To this day I cannot understand why is is that Aerosmith made it to the Rock Hall while Van Halen (classic VH of course!) and Cheap Trick have been totally ignored by the Rock Hall judges. Don't get me wrong, Aerosmith is great, but VH and Cheap Trick should've been installed in the Rock Hall way before Aerosmith, IMHO [;-D]

I feel sorry for those roadies:

That plate spinning act sucked!Originally posted by LoungeMachine
Got to open for them a few years back.
"Got to open"....baw-hahahahahahaha!!!!
Always enjoyed and go see them everytime they come to town. They actually have a new album today which www.allmusic.com could not get enough of... Need to check it out..
Kid
Yes, indeed...
I saw 'em over 10 years ago at HARPO'S in DETROIT....
KICK ASS live band.....
STELLAR PERFORMANCE
Best live band ever! Period.
I saw them 7-8 years ago at a club called Canes on the boardwalk in Mission Beach/San Diego. They come out straight with I Want You To Want Me...BAM. Like a slap in the face. No buildup, no lights out while guitars intro, nothing. Straight with the 1st verse. Then Surrender, then Dream Police. Talk about a wicked 3-punch combination. They were playing as if their lives depended on it and every record exec known to man was there. Unreal.
“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”
It hurts to think back to the first time I saw them ... that was before I graduated high school in '81! Man I'm getting old! ...I refuse!
I bought "Rockford" and all I have to say is "WOW"!
Buy it...you won't be disappointed.
I agree completely.. Great power pop rock at it's best...Originally posted by DrMaddVibe

One of my personal favorite bands. Rick Neilson is an incredibly underrated guitarist.

The first album is just as good as Van Halen's first album.
Zander has IMPECCABLE vocal cords.
I see them just about every time they roll into town. I met Bun E. and Rick. Great down to earth people they are. Zander looks like he never ages.
One of the favorites off the first album for me is: Daddy should have stayed in high school.
I try like hell to keep things all fluffy bunnies and pink daisies. But brutal truth smacks me in the ass all the time. ~Susie Q 2009
Every review of the new album has been raves.
They opened for Alice Copper in Toronto last summer and sounded great!
Stay Frosty, muthas!
