who cares how old they are. when you are that old folks, you'll be saying... gosh... they had something to live for and are gonna outlive me. cheap trick forever!
@g3onktm Neilson's about ten yrs older than the rest of the guys in the band, which would place him in his early 60s here. He was in a few bands during the mid 60s and already somewhat of a "veteran" when he hooked up with Robin and Tom in '75 to form Cheap Trick. They were in their early 20s but Rick was already pushing 30 by that point. I think he looks pretty damn good for 60 something. Robin and Tom look good too. Bun E looked 45 when he was 25 so he looks the same these days
if i wasn't a cheap trick fan i'd say the same but he said in an interview that each next is different- the next closest to him is a 12-string, the next a regular 6 string, a 6 string with whammy bar, a telecaster style pickup arrangement, and the next a fretless which ive only seen him hit about 3 notes on in as ling as ive been watching him
That guitar is digitally projected out of thin air. He fakes it that it seems heavy. It's all a very CHEAP trick.
The actual sound is coming from electronic triggers hidden in his right hand fingers. They're triggering a sample of his favourite guitar of all time...the '57 Stratocaster.
I heard Cheap Trick for the first time in 1978and saw them for the first time, in Nashville, in 1980. 30 years later....still proves these guys are the greatest band the good 'ole USA has ever produced!
Still classic as ever. these guys make my life awesome. I see Robin is still sporting that god damn cowboy hat, he really needs to lose that shit. lol
what a shit singer

i call that guitar a waste of money
goodygoody23 2 years ago 2
why, he has the money
CheapTrick94 2 years ago
yeah thats true but at least two of those necks are wasted since he can't reach them
but he does have the money i must agree

CheapTrick94 2 years ago
yeah i figured as much but i still think he could just buy like 2 double necks and a fretless or something
it does look cool though
