a fantastic song - if it wasn't for the underrated & not so well known song - love comes - this would be my fave ct song - great awesome song, love love love this one! standing on the edge is an awfully underrated album
Who ever directed this video should be thrown into a small dark room and kept there for a long time. LOL!! Typical cheeseball 80's video but man what a song! Love this group and love this tune!!
Agreed!!! THe hall sucks - pearl jam and no ozzy- ridiculous- When I went there Sabbath wasn't even in and frickin pearl jam was - atleast sabbath is but no oz by hmself what a ficking joke
THat's an interesting trick, considering that Pearl Jam aren't yet eligible to be inducted. You can't be inducted until 25 years after your first album comes out, and PJ's came out in 91 or 92.
And tonight it’s you, tonight it’s you" ... and she's smiling? So ... she's not concerned at all about who he'll be with tomorrow night? Strange ... do they have - or are they planning to have - children anytime soon?
Chill out, Its more cool, Not to be in the hall of fame, Then it. No Cheap Trick, No Kiss, No Rush. The rock n roll hall of fame is for middle of the road, Sheep shaggers.
I have to confess, that was the very first song I've ever heard from CT and the first time I've heard of the band, period. That was back in 1985 ( I didn't hear the Dream Police until a few years later whereas at that time, I was guessing it was done a year earlier like back in 1984 or something). Still, I couldn't believe they have been around a decade earlier like back in the 1970s!!
Even at their "not as good" point, Cheap Trick could still crank out a great tune. This is evidence. Zander is one of the best rock vocalists ever IMO.
For everyone who questions why CT never headlined (Budokan notwithstanding), never made it "big", or got the recognition they deserved...the answer is simple but also complex. Their great strength was also, unfortunately, their greatest weakness..they never took themselves seriously. One look at Ric or Bun, and I think that makes some sense. A bunch of guys you couldn't picture being in the same room together, let alone carry a band. They fit into all genres of the period, or none at all.
@johnwmcd But they're still together, though. They might not have had the type of adulation that Duran Duran or "boy bands" had, but they have survived to this very day.
@revacohen They are indeed, minus Bun..allegedly due to back problems. Hard to imagine CT without him, just as it was when Tom Petersson left (the first time)
I have no clue how I ran across this song tonight, but tonight it's: OMG think I'm love with Robin Zander @ 4:25. This song made me so friggin happy when it came out and still does! Long live power pop!
I have no clue how I ran across this song tonight, but tonight it's: OMG think I'm love with Robin Zander @ 4:25. This song made me so friggin happy when it came out and still does!
Brilliant. Thank you Cheap Trick for so many years of making me happy. You did it again at Namm 2011!!! You kicked off my New Year so perfectly!!! I wish I was that cute girl that ran across the stage how very 80's of her...and so perfect to hug you and then jump into the crowd. I hope they filmed the entire show because every song was great.
The funny thing is that I totally couldn't get *anyone* to listen to this song in '85. They weren't New Wave enough for my friends, and they weren't Hair Metal enough for my enemies.
@RepublibotThreePoint I remember when it came out. Strange enough it wasn't even that popular. I was blown away by it but it was ignored not too long afterward. Unfortunately there is so much that rides on popularity. And of course as anyone knows, some of the greatest songs on earth don't even sell.
@lakefloor Yeah. Well, I think some bands get a certain reputation that keeps people from checking 'em out, even if they're doing great stuff. Cheap Trick was perceived as a 70s dinosaur band that peaked around 1981. They weren't New Wave, they weren't Rap, and they weren't Hair-Metal, so few were willing to give 'em a shot, even though they were doing their best stuff in that period.
The whole "Tiger Beat" thing will work against you: "Eww! That's the band my older sister used to like!"
@RepublibotThreePoint That is so true my friend. For the simple fact that they didn't really conform to the latest trend, today's generation has the perception that this was just some old band that didn't quite make it. That is so true of so many bands that were huge in the day. You have this rarity like the Beatles who seem to stand the test of time with each new generation, when so many others get lost in the shuffle. Tiger Beat...oh yes the media still has the power to make or break.
@lakefloor As popular acts, the halflife of a band is about five years. At that point, they'll generally either lose their audience and become old hat, *or* they'll completely redefine themselves like the Beatles did. That buys you another five years, at which point you become a fogey, or you redefine yourself again. It's a tough trick to master. The Beatles did it, but none of the members managed it individually. David Bowie does it. Madonna did it. It's rare to work, though.
@RepublibotThreePoint I agree. It's a tough game to even maintain a continuing steady flow of popularity. Many just fade out of the picture and others go on to become viewed as adult contemporary. Can't fight reality. Today's artists will be the dinosaurs some day. Bands like Cheap Trick and Aerosmith have to keep "coming back" to be reintroduced into popularity. Still, they will always have their followers filling up their concert halls. I don't think that will ever die!
@lakefloor Oh, I agree. Certainly it won't happen so long as the bandmembers themselves are still kicking. I've seen them a dozen times, they put on a great show. It's a little weird to see them without Bun E up there, though. It must have been one heck of a falling out...
@RepublibotThreePoint Right! It sure would be interesting to know a bit more of the details on that with Bun. They're still going strong though, in my opinion. I'll embrace whatever they can offer!
@Hazor777: It may sound strange, but Cheap Trick preferred playing Headlining in smaller club venues. A more intimate setting I suppose. You're right tho, they opened for all the heavy hitter rock bands back in the day. They kept their stage really simple, with a banner in the back. In all of their videos almost, they incorporate a live music concert stage feel.
Robin Zander has one of the best singing voices ever! This song is awesome! I'm surprised the radio didnt embrace it more. It sends chills it's so great!
@Deanocub : Agreed. I could never figure out why Cheap Trick never headlined in the mid to late 80's. They would always open for top bill acts (Kiss,Robert Plant,Aerosmith,etc...) and they always put on such a great show, you didn't want to em to leave the stage. This song is a classic example of their awesome songwriting ability - tension building to a big, huge chorus with great harmonies! THAT is what makes a great RnR song.
what a great friggin band! Zander and Brandt (at the time) were the eyecandy, Bun E the hardworkin drummer and Rick Nielsen the genius who put it all together! The soundtrack of my teenage years!
The rock n roll hall of fame is a joke, I'm ashamed to live in Cleveland, OH. There are a lot of groups that should be inducted, including cheap trick, but no they put
ABBA in, lets see who's next let me guess Kenny G. or how about Clay Aiken. FUCK THE ROCK HALL.
@TMPAUL it's also likely that justin bieber and the jonas brothers will be inducted over great acts like cheap trick, NIN, and other great bands. and it's run by fucking jann wenner. fuck that aging faggot. and fuck bieber and the jonas brothers. and their stance against bullying. well guess what. i think i'll play the bully right now and beat the holy fucking shit out of these little cunts.
@thevoid99 yeah, nice post, I agree. Also, I'd like to add if I could. Beiber and his faggot friends suck balls and cheeks. Nowadays, music is so awful that the internet and tv fish for anything decent. Back in the 80s, you had to be found, there was nothing but radio. Bieber and his new faggot rap friends and other garbage musicians can nibble on my nutsies. Cheap Trick, another great--not just good--band from the best decade for music, the 1980s.....
@TMPAUL Another band that should be inducted, is Rush...They've made a ton of honest, and great work over the years and to this day even! Cheap Trick and Rush both are NOT in the R&R HoF...Rush's guitarist Alex Lifeson has said "...look at who's up for induction. Its a joke!" I couldn't agree more with that statement. Cheap Trick and Rush, are among many who deserve to be in the R&R HoF when they are not. Both bands have wrote honestly excellent work. Many need to be in, many out as well.
I remember this song just barely cracked pop radio in Greensboro NC. I heard it maybe a handful of times before it fell off the playlists. Best song on the album, though - the signature changes and choruses are very unlike most things you could hear at the time.
What an awesome song. First heard it on a VHS tape they put together back in the 80's. Great music. Great writing. Great band. Have had the chance to see them live in several locations, in an arena setting, a club, and at a small-town fair ground, and every show they put on is just perfect. Never saw Robin perform as a solo act, but loved his side-project efforts just as much.
I remember first hearing cheap trick without realising it who they were a decade ago, was not until 2007 I even picked up a cd to check them out, after picking up everything they've done since then... I'm hooked, really hooked!
isnt the girl in this video also in a few tom petty videos around the southern accents era? lol.
I love the way the different images all collude at the end. The boxing match, the girl on stage with CT , even the distracted boyfriend sitting on the stage watching the fight. Great video art. Plus, on of CT's best songs. Ahhh, the mid 1980's.
Who cares about the Hall of Fame? It' s a freaking joke half the time. Lots of great bands who aren't in it. Don't know why everyone says they're underrated, everyone I know loves them and we go see them whenever we get the chance!
I saw Cheap Trick in concert, was hooked the first time I heard them. I have every song on my music player that they have every done. Now my 14 yr. old high school freshman has turned on many of her classmates in her school to this great group. Its fun to see tweens get so into a band I've been listening to for so many years. Love it! I hope to be able to take her to see Cheap Trick in concert someday.
The Rock N Roll HOF doesn't choose the bands that deserve to be there. The past 5 years or so have mostly been a joke. Cheap trick, Kiss, Alice Cooper, The Moody Blues will never see the inside unless they buy a ticket or play there for some charity. makes me sick that we fought so hard for something that stands for nothing!
@gail5768 You are so right. They should rename that building The Pop Music Hall of Fame, build a real Rock Hall of Fame in Memphis, the birth place of rock-n-roll.
@epi61SG And Madonna and ABBA are in and neither one is rock music. Yet Cheap Trick, KISS, Boston, Journey, Badfinger, Chicago, ELO, Motley Crue and Def Leppard are not in! What a fucking joke!!! KISS said that by inducting ABBA over them this past month really pissed them off. So I hope the Rock Hall induct KISS next year and KISS tells everyone how they'll be there and how they'll play some songs and then THEY DON'T SHOW UP! But then they release a statement calling the Hall a shame!
@epi61SG The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a joke !! It is, and is becoming more and more irrealavent with each passing year. The fact that it's in Cleavland Oh. certainly doesn't help either. Fast forward 10 years - the baby boomers will be room temperature or in the Nursing home hiding their own Easter egg's. Real Rock is about dead. If you need more proof, take a look at what passes for rock these days. Hardly any of the new groups can actually play a instrument, or carry a tune.
Trying to figure out if Bun E. Carlos is right or left handed. His hi-hats are on different sides for different videos. Never seen this before. Maybe he plays both left and right handed and that's impressive.
@fyrfytrbil - Bun E. is left handed but plays both right and left handed. I heard an interview with him one time where he said that he likes to switch up to keep things fresh.
Trying to figure out if Bun E. Carlos is right or left handed. His hi-hats are on different sides in different videos. Makes it hard to get his beats down. Never noticed this with any other drummer. Maybe he plays both left and right. That's impressive!!
Oh, how funny was that commercial! I'm glad CT got finally got a spot in Americanism; wanted or not. When it acutally played we were kinda ripped and I didn't notice the lyric change, but I did comment to friends about how they finally made it. I love this band!
I saw these guys in Madison several years ago in the front row and they put on a phenomenal show. Robin's voice is as clear and powerful now as it was then. I've seen them at Summerfest as well with the same result. They consistently continue to put out great music and I agree are underappreciated. I think it is great that " Dream Police " has been remade into the "Green Police" on the Audi Superbowl ad.
oh yeah.. and.. the girl, in the video... she resembled too closely a girl i was inlove with in high school... ahhh Krissi... what a fool i was...........
Hey man. I am 46. Only 2 years older than you. I am still running around looking for the 1 night stands! My hats off 2 you man. I am acting more like 26 than 46. I better start growing up! Would,nt u say? But I still love the 80s music! Nothing better!
@ abacus1963.I hear you Bro ! I am 43 and still see myself as in my 20's in my minds eye !dress,we of speaking. I keep saying to myself i had better wake up and act my age..the sweet bird of youth has flown.but what can I say..I am just not ready to accept being a couch potato and wearing pocket protectors.what does this all mean anyway, this crazy life? we are screwed one way or the other so why not delude ourselves?
Hey guys every age has its beauty. We can still be active and healthy and sensual in our 40's without acting like overgrown teens. Hopefully we're alot smarter now than we were then.
Yes Mam you are so right. I do agree with u very much! And from this moment forward I am going to try and make a change for the better. Because as crazy as this may sound I do believe in what the Bible teaches and I do want to be a better person.
This song is freaking awesome! :-)

The rock n roll hall of fame is a joke, I'm ashamed to live in Cleveland, OH. There are a lot of groups that should be inducted, including cheap trick, but no they put
ABBA in, lets see who's next let me guess Kenny G. or how about Clay Aiken. FUCK THE ROCK HALL.

@TMPAUL it's also likely that justin bieber and the jonas brothers will be inducted over great acts like cheap trick, NIN, and other great bands. and it's run by fucking jann wenner. fuck that aging faggot. and fuck bieber and the jonas brothers. and their stance against bullying. well guess what. i think i'll play the bully right now and beat the holy fucking shit out of these little cunts.

@thevoid99 yeah, nice post, I agree. Also, I'd like to add if I could. Beiber and his faggot friends suck balls and cheeks. Nowadays, music is so awful that the internet and tv fish for anything decent. Back in the 80s, you had to be found, there was nothing but radio. Bieber and his new faggot rap friends and other garbage musicians can nibble on my nutsies. Cheap Trick, another great--not just good--band from the best decade for music, the 1980s.....
Anthony11598 1 year ago
@Anthony11598 Well I agreed with everything you said until you said that the 80's was the best decade for music.
Have you forgotten Boy George...Oingo Boingo...Pet Shop Boys, Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam?
The worst music ever was made in the 80's. With very few notable exceptions.
And Cheap Trick is a 70's band.

@TMPAUL Another band that should be inducted, is Rush...They've made a ton of honest, and great work over the years and to this day even! Cheap Trick and Rush both are NOT in the R&R HoF...Rush's guitarist Alex Lifeson has said "...look at who's up for induction. Its a joke!" I couldn't agree more with that statement. Cheap Trick and Rush, are among many who deserve to be in the R&R HoF when they are not. Both bands have wrote honestly excellent work. Many need to be in, many out as well.

I remember this song just barely cracked pop radio in Greensboro NC. I heard it maybe a handful of times before it fell off the playlists. Best song on the album, though - the signature changes and choruses are very unlike most things you could hear at the time.

Sharky2055 1 year ago
What an awesome song. First heard it on a VHS tape they put together back in the 80's. Great music. Great writing. Great band. Have had the chance to see them live in several locations, in an arena setting, a club, and at a small-town fair ground, and every show they put on is just perfect. Never saw Robin perform as a solo act, but loved his side-project efforts just as much.

I love the way the different images all collude at the end. The boxing match, the girl on stage with CT , even the distracted boyfriend sitting on the stage watching the fight. Great video art. Plus, on of CT's best songs. Ahhh, the mid 1980's.

I saw Cheap Trick in concert, was hooked the first time I heard them. I have every song on my music player that they have every done. Now my 14 yr. old high school freshman has turned on many of her classmates in her school to this great group. Its fun to see tweens get so into a band I've been listening to for so many years. Love it! I hope to be able to take her to see Cheap Trick in concert someday.

The Rock N Roll HOF doesn't choose the bands that deserve to be there. The past 5 years or so have mostly been a joke. Cheap trick, Kiss, Alice Cooper, The Moody Blues will never see the inside unless they buy a ticket or play there for some charity. makes me sick that we fought so hard for something that stands for nothing!

@epi61SG And Madonna and ABBA are in and neither one is rock music. Yet Cheap Trick, KISS, Boston, Journey, Badfinger, Chicago, ELO, Motley Crue and Def Leppard are not in! What a fucking joke!!! KISS said that by inducting ABBA over them this past month really pissed them off. So I hope the Rock Hall induct KISS next year and KISS tells everyone how they'll be there and how they'll play some songs and then THEY DON'T SHOW UP! But then they release a statement calling the Hall a shame!

@epi61SG The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a joke !! It is, and is becoming more and more irrealavent with each passing year. The fact that it's in Cleavland Oh. certainly doesn't help either. Fast forward 10 years - the baby boomers will be room temperature or in the Nursing home hiding their own Easter egg's. Real Rock is about dead. If you need more proof, take a look at what passes for rock these days. Hardly any of the new groups can actually play a instrument, or carry a tune.

Trying to figure out if Bun E. Carlos is right or left handed. His hi-hats are on different sides for different videos. Never seen this before. Maybe he plays both left and right handed and that's impressive.

I saw these guys in Madison several years ago in the front row and they put on a phenomenal show. Robin's voice is as clear and powerful now as it was then. I've seen them at Summerfest as well with the same result. They consistently continue to put out great music and I agree are underappreciated. I think it is great that " Dream Police " has been remade into the "Green Police" on the Audi Superbowl ad.
