I remember seeing this ONCE when it was on the TV ad rotation. Bun E looks like Rush Limbaugh's kid brother (not that there's anything wrong with that). And yes, Mr. "Carlos" used to smoke while drumming...one writer remarked back in the day how he'd do a great solo then at the end of it exhale a blue cloud. The same writer asked him how he could keep drumming when he was burning holes in his lungs. "Bun's" answer? "I eat only the finest cheeseburgers."
@glebe3047 - nope, Bun E has had real bad back problems recently making heavy touring difficult and was missing more and more shows due to it. Rick's son Daxx has filled in for him . Bun E is still part of Cheap Trick as their studio drummer and will appear live occasionally. He played w/ them in Vegas for the Sgt Pepper run.
Torry's cool, plays well and looks hot. But something about Bun E. on the drums...Dude's a legend and looks like a Maitre' D at a cheap restaurant!! EPIC...
Probably seven or eight years ago, it was in heavy rotation for only two three days of Thanksgiving week to promote Black Friday sales at Target. It was cool as sh--, but it immediately disappeared. Thank god for youtube.
TOTALLY agree, I've seen them twice, once in like 2000 with Dax on drums, and then in 05 with FRONT ROW TICKETS, and it was my kids first concert (GEE did THEY have a good time??)

Learn equal parts Bun E and Doug Creedence and you'll be a rockin' drummer.

Remember when some fool asked him what his real name was? He replied, " Bun Eduardo Carlos" to cool. Much cooler then Brad Carlson.
