    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.

        People bash "The Doctor"...it's not that bad.

        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."
        :D

          I was just listening to "I Want You to Want Me". Such a simple little tune, but also so very cool.

                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]
