I really liked this album, and I agree about Cheap Trick being power-pop legends. It was so disappointing when they toured after releasing this and barely played anything from it. Maybe the label going bust left them in some kind of legal limbo? Anyway, they were like some kind of parody of themselves, like an oldies novelty concert. I think they even played The Flame (wretch!).
Awesome. You know... I have a playlist that kinda shows the similarities between Cheap Trick and another famous band from the '70's click my name if you want to see it. You won't belive what connections I've found!
Man this is a great example of finely crafted power pop. I was at the Sunset Bowl in Waukesha, WI the night Jack Douglas signed them to their first record deal...Been a fan ever since and ever more
i am i went to ther concert on july 3 at Festival Park i am ll i got to meet thyem and hang out for a day they were amazed they did not think that 11 year olds wear fans i guesded i proved them rong
This was such a great album. I was 17 when it came out and didn't really know much about Cheap Trick. I saw them open up for Motley Crue that year in Detroit and they were awesome. They are so much heavier live than on the album. This is a great, great tune.
It seems to me that the Crue should have opened for Cheap trick...Vince and the boys were picking there noses when Live @ Budakhan was filling stadiums>>>>>>
Wrong, assteeth! Motley crue were plowing chicks while Cheap Trick was filling stadiums. When they finished with that they turned 11 and started tinkering in music, THEN they filled stadiums AND plowed whores.
I recently saw Cheap Trick open for Journey. Personally, I don't really like Journey, but I simply love Cheap Trick. Same deal. Shouldn't Journey be opening for Cheap Trick? I Think So.
I would,if I knew when they were coming my way. (I came damn close to actually meeting Bun E. when I went to visit a friend in Illinois,but they were rehearsing for this tour.)
One of the best "live" bands I've ever heard. Being from the Chicago area, I've had the pleasure of seeing them many times. April 1st is now officially "Cheap Trick" day here in Illinois.
They have some great anthem like songs like, Surrender, California Man, On Top Of The World. The Rockford CD was great too. Thier is a ballad that is Beatles worthy called Claire. Great song!
of all the shit nowdays, this is the only band who tuned into the beatles and kept that quality of music going....ART Omg....just listen to the unedited mumbo jumbo bullshit they call music now....lol fuck I sound like my DAD.
dude, i know what your saying..LOL. The problem is the crap they serve up nowadays forces me to sound like my Dad!! I'm not getting older, just that popular music now is just soooooo crappy.
There are good bands out there these days, but you have to find them on internet radio. FM radio is all Clear Channel crap...so sad.
awesome tune, awesome band.......all the posts re: underrated, no good deed unpunished, etc. = SO TRUE. My God, how does THIS not score, and we're punished with the absolute crapola that passes for 95% of today's 'music'?
It just ain't right. Aerosmith shudda been opening for THESE guys the last 30 years.
I love this song. The moment I watched this video clip,I became a fan of Cheap Trick. I watched many other clips of Cheap Trick and found four songs that I liked very much. I think this song is the best among those. Now I know why they have been popular in Japan! The melody stays in my head and Robin's voice is great.
Fantastic video! My favorite Cheap Trick song of all time - a mature Cheap Trick here - and the best CT guitar solo ever, and it's played by Robin Zander! This should have been a No. 1 hit single in 1997. Too bad the record label went belly up the second the CD came out, which meant zero publicity for the album.
When I was a kid, I bagged Rick's groceries at Hilander Grocery Store in Rockford, Il. This band is one of the best of all-time! I saw them last Saturday in Phx with Sammy Hagar, and CT was spectacular. They sounded great. We need to hear them on the radio more! - Jay
Reminds me of everything else from 97...The Rembrandts, The Replacements, Gin Blossoms.........this is just a great pop song. And Robin's a great singer.
Great track from the brilliant 1997 Cheap Trick Album. Love this track.....particularly the harmonies which are just brilliant along with some delicate slide guitar.
I was at this video shoot in Rockford! I'm out there in the crowd somewhere! I've seen CT over 30 times and they just get better and better. If you have the chance this summer, by all means, GO SEE THEM!!!!
Yeah, Namnoiz it does have the "Paul" flair. It's interesting you noted that. When you listen to some Trick tunes do you hear either Lennon or McCartney in the tune?
Like Voices, very Beatlish, and Tonight It's You...GOD THEY LOVE THE BEATLES DON'T THEY!! Have you ever seen Rick's BEATLES guitar??
Brilliant video, brilliant band, saw them at reading festival in 79 (or was it 80?) and loved them. One of my all time favourite songs and the video makes it even better, wish I'd made it!
Damn this is a great song and video. I am going on AMazon right now and get it. You guys are right. How this was not a hit is criminal and a testament to how screwed up the music industry is today!
I was also born in Febuary of 1964. Its always nice to meet another Cheap trick fan. I also agree a lot of this album has a Beatles influence. One of my all time favorite albums, my favorite song is this one "Say goodbye".
The fact that this wasn't a top 10 hit is ridiculous. Avril Lavigne goes platinum while truly gorgeous, melodic pop like this flies under the radar? Screw this. Time to colonize Mars.
The chorus still gives me goosebumps. Tom's bass playing on this is brilliant. How this was not a hit is almost impossible to understand. They're not only one of rock n' roll's greatest bands, they are all four really nice, good people. Living proof about no good deed going unpunished....
I love this video! It shows Rockford! It shows the Midway Theatre! Robin Zander sang at the Grand Re-opening of the Midway Theatre in 1981! My mother worked at the Midway Theatre in the 1950's! VIDEO IS 100% GREAT!!!
