@VinBad007 Wrong. Tom didn't design the 8-string (although there's now a TP Waterstone 8-string). He came up with the -idea- for the 12 string because he wanted something that sounded bigger than the Alembic 8-string he used live (he almost always uses 4-strings in the studio). The 10 was made because Hamer thought they couldn't do a 12, due to the insane amount of tension. Once the 10 worked, they did the 12, and the rest is history.
I finally heard the original and yeah - it's awesome! As a big CT fan it's interesting to hear Terry Reid at last, in fact, I suspect he was probably an influence on Robin Zander!
i saw them on first album tour with forieiner.this song and hes a whore were my favorites.the weird guy on lead,the pretty boy singer,the smoking guy on drums and the other guy on bass.i was hip to the trick from day one.thanks for posting
Anyone with some spare change laying around should pick up their first record. I did a long time ago. Actually it was a mistake because I couldn't keep it away from my brothers and sisters turntables. Oh the stress
this is embarrasing

No Cheap Trick, Rush or Kiss in the RRHF just continues to make that silly little "elite club" a joke to all fans far & wide.

The LP version is my favorite Cheap Trick ever. This video is just old and unexpected enough to amaze me tonight, don't they look like anime?

few people realize that Tom plays 12 string bass- gives the band a unique sound

Indeed, Joe. Tom plays an 8, 10, and 12 string, and he designed them all himself.

@joebester I thought it was pretty common knowledge. It does play a huge, and important, part in the Cheap Trick 'sound'. Hugely influential band.
