Gonna raise hell

[runthemachine]

... somebody mentioned 8 Track players on my FB, and I had to come and find this.

I was 17, just joined the Army, & had an 8 Track 'ghetto blaster' thingy... I think I actually broke this tape, AND the player on this shit!!!

Nice. =)

[MrJWoods5271]

[MrJWoods5271]

[simmerdownrock]

Hate to let you know how OLD AS HELL I am BUT I saw these guys open for KISS the day ELVIS died at the COW PALACE in SAN FRANCISCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cdfenn]

[waburgathe]

Opening song for TED NUGENT at state fair doesn't get any better han that.......

[Temari5323]

I listen to this song every fuckin halloween.

[rbluecoat]

Now this is a damn f****** good tune,beats whats coming out these days

[groofoot]

When I was in 3rd grade, I'd hear this song on the radio the bus driver played on the way home from school, and had no idea the song was by a group of guys from my hometown lol ... clueless damned kid...

[darinbar]

I thot this ufo for a long time, thank god for this site.

[charliedontsurf70]

32 years old and its still tops the junk that passes for music today.

[mgwilliams1000]

53 and this song still gives me a hardon,

[thewildfop1]

Shit got real when they busted out the violins.

[oneeye4263]

never mind the names just kick ass rock

[ruforsaken1]

Thumbs up if you're gonna raise hell :)

[Kizales]

The guy sure does wanna raise hell....

[IAmthesc0ut]

almost 10 minutes of awesome

[WaDitsa]

This song would be perfect if someone made a film about a bad guy who raises hell....

[drpat1965]

THIS song was a big part of my life now we have popcorn we have a choice

[devinpolk90]

always plays this song to people who think cheap trick is some bumble gum pop band...they always take back their statement

[Avatarblackwolf]

@devinpolk90 DAMN STRAIGHT!!!

[zodiacal38]

unlike anything else they did.....

[MultiWebweaver]

to the cops, kick my ass? Try dirty cops

[bertman19]

Cheap Trick was better than the rest! Pop and hard rock owes a lot to Cheap Trick!

[Atheneastro]

Freaks and Geeks brought me here.

[spruss929]

i wish the whole song was guna raise hell



[yoshibax]

All those bands that made it in the 80's owe alot to Cheap Trick. Motley Crue, Ratt, Cinderella, Poison, Loudness! They were influenced by this band! How can you not.

[vmartin96]

man this is a combination of opera,metal,and horror!

[cyanidecryptz]

@vmartin96 Yes it is! LMFAO!

[1970sGirl]

LOVE this !!!!!!

[SuperSinclair1]

I was at the 1977, August 13th KISS/Cheap Trick Show in Portland Oregon. AWESOME is all I got to say.. I was 15 at the time...

[muttville1]

@SuperSinclair1 Kiss set the roof on fire??

[85ihateposeurs]

This is so much different from any other Cheap Trick song! But I like their other songs too. Although not nearly as much as this one!

[Jacque41000]

Love this song danced in my room when I was young, my dad would always say turn it down, then I would turn it up!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jacque41000

[johnny888869]

@Jacque41000 hun? i cant hear you

[ufofan1980]

@johnny888869 Wow I thought I was the only person who thought this was UFO. My sister and I had a bet going whether it was KISS or UFO and nobody won that 30 year bet, :(

[Jacque41000]

Love this song danced in my room when I was young, my dad would always say turn it down, then I would turn it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tnlance1]

We'll this will be the next hit Justin Biber might try to record. I personally wonder if Justin Biber has an appreciation for "Classic Rock"?  This good stuff was out before there was probably even a thought of his mother being born in the world. Heck maybe Lady Gaga will help him do this song......LOL

[joeizzle123]

lost2fairyfate! thats where i herd it too, thats my favorite show. and this is now my favorite song

[bustamellon]

these guys had one of the best god damn drummers in the business...Bun E. Carlos was the bomb

[cleanerfloors]

I remember when this song was played on the radio regularly.

[guitarsforeveryone]

I love that Gene Simmons did the backing vocals on this....perfect voice for the "Gonna Raise Hell" lines!!! Must have done it after KISS had them opening for them.

[ShelterDogs]

@guitarsforeveryone No wonder there's this extra... watchamacalit, growl, to those lines. It's something my subconscious mind was telling me... wouldn't have thought of it if you hadn't said that. But now it makes perfect sense that that is Gene Simmons. It was strange thinking Zander sounded like that.

[guitarsforeveryone]

@ShelterDogs Yeah, he adds that extra something to it. I wonder if he played bass on it too (or added some suggestions for the opening bass lines as it definitely has that early KISS vibe to it).

[Rudypaolo]

maked me wanna kick some ass

[TheAvidExpress]

I would have never guessed this was Cheap Trick, but then again they are very diverse

[lost2fairyfate]

Just heard it on Freaks and Geeks- LOVE IT! So my obsession right now. My new SUmmer '10 anthem! WATCHED OUT!

[poniezrule83]

@lost2fairyfate That's what I was doing and it reminded me of this song, too! Bizzare. (Freaks and Geeks is arguably the best show ever created.) And this song is so epic. Love it. (even though I technically wasn't alive when it was released.....I was there in spirit. Fo sho. :3)

[lost2fairyfate]

@poniezrule83 I could not agree more with everything you just said.

[lost2fairyfate]

@poniezrule83 1000000% agreed!!! again!!! Hahaha I'm srs, everything you just said I agree with. I wasnt alive either but its great, haha 

[poniezrule83]

@lost2fairyfate Glad I'm not the only one. lol :3

[bajskissskit]

@lost2fairyfate

I love that show! :D 

[jenzeppelin]

@lost2fairyfate Now that Halloween is near, I say you dress up like one of the boys...you get to choose between Neil's Chaplin, Sam's robot or Bill's Bionic Woman. If you're a guy, I say go as Bill's. If you're a girl, go as Chaplin. :)-

[lost2fairyfate]

@jenzeppelin HAHA omg great idea!!!! I should so do that. I need to get a group of friends together and all dress up like them. nice!

[ShelterDogs]

@lost2fairyfate That's exactly how I discovered the song! So strange to see your comment at the very top in a permanent position... that show is old and not even on anymore! What are the chances. Another strange coincidence happend today related to this show. I was looking up actor James Franco on Wiki after reading a short story of him on USAToday.. and it mentioned he was a main cast member in Freaks and Geeks. I was like WTF? Really? Funny how stuff happens like that.

[lost2fairyfate]

@ShelterDogs Hahaha I love it!!!!

[SuzanneKowalski]

@lost2fairyfate

poor Sam got egged by his sister, damnit

[sarge807]

[HORRORFAN214]

[coolkiwi117]

@HORRORFAN214 not really, no. bands like dream theater have songs that are more than 15 minutes long

[HORRORFAN214]

"I Never Lose To Me IT's No Mystery"

"backwards"

"Satan Holds The Key To The Lock"

I Know It Doesn't Matter Saying That Backmasking Crap.I Know They Did It By Accident.

[scetchMyster]
