Slash is gonna have some trouble with this Axl wannabe. I mean, this guy can't carry a note...ANY note. He's just plain bad. Robin Zander is the ONLY person I've seen improve on this song....he prolly has the best voice in rock n roll....at any age. What is amazing is how a guy, like Rick, in his 60's can STILL crank with the best of em.
Rick has always made it look easy, and brings true musicianship to the game instead of relying on retread power chords like a lot of todays guitarists..
it seems like the rest of rick's band wasn't invited, hmmm. Or maybe they were and didn't wanna be around these addicts. Oh well, I like it when Robin sings this song!
gotta hand it to TK....been awhile dude, glad your enjoyin the ride brah!...see you next time back in alberta or sask when you come!...great vid, thanks for posting this!
OMG! I am a huge Cheap Trick fan, Love Myles and Slash is one my all-time fav guitarists! I wish I would have seen this live! Oh yea, I am!LOL Thank you so much!
@tommy1975 But you have described the hairband vocal tone exactly. I hate it too, but it's part of the aesthetic of Hard Rock vocal. If you want different, you'll have to dial in a different genre. Mostly it's amazing to see Rick representin' here with Slash. Sooner or later we all give it up for the master.Go Rick!
@InvaderOfYourHeart They (Cheap Trick) did the same song. Sure they did it in a different style, but it's still the same song. It's like saying Hendrix All Along The Watchtower is a different song than the original Dylan version. To call it a Cheap Trick cover is misleading and incorrect.
Lol, Rick's a cool dude.

@TheChuck624 My thoughts exactly. It's a shame, too (pun intended) because I expected better from the guy.

I cannot stand the vocals on this. I know this dude has range, but the nasally/vibrato thing he is doing on this just sucks. He ruins it.

@nosajdabeno No, I completely disagree. It's a completely different song, the 2 minute drum solo intro, is unique, and not in Fat's version.
