[rheingoldlounge]

They still got it.

[beeroosterm]

Zander has gained a few but damned if he can still sing...

[oiyabastard]

you ALWAYS KNOW WHEN CONAN DOESNT LIKE A BAND CUZ HE ALWAYS SAYS "THAT WAS  GREAT" ,,,,,, HE DIDNT SAY THAT HERE

[MichMP]

@oiyabastard Yeah, you can tell how unhappy he is about Rick giving him a guitar at the end ("a gift for you"). Or that time he picked Cheap Trick's music to open his first Tonight Show. Or all those other times they've been on his shows. Yep, they can't stand each other.

[oiyabastard]

@MichMP you misinderstood me , whenever conan doesnt like a band he goes "that was great" he did NOT say that here ,, i am a great trick fan fyi

[rachel7274]

Who Is Dressing Robin' dude Rock a Cheap Trick shirt some torn up jeans and your'e good to go' lol

[iVenge]

"Sick Man of Europe"... ha ha.... that was actually the first name of the band. I wonder how old that song really is.

[ORIONTALKS]

yea im from rockford too. its hard being in a band here. the only way to make it is to move to cali like they did. look at the pimps they almost made it

[groov539]

I've heard this band has done more live gigs than any other band? I saw them in concert in 1979.. Great band and Robin Zander's voice is underrated!

[TerryOS]

Check em out through February in Milwaukee, with a symphony orchestra.

[sm1353]

[Kabul81]

Was that Bun E?

Jman

[episodeseven]

@Kabul81 Yeah that's Bun E. -Daxx Nielsen has been assuming duties as drummer lately.

[RocktheStageNYC]

@episodeseven - Bun E. remains a member of the band on record and select TV show appearances he just doesn't tour with them - Daxx Neilsen does the tours. Bun E.'s health problems prevent him from touring.

[episodeseven]

@RocktheStageNYC Yeah. I know. I'm from Rockford. I grew up with the Nielsens. Daxx is doing a good job. :)

[sr71ablackbird]

@episodeseven did you ever happen to get one of Rick's guitars for a gift ? ...lol...

[sr71ablackbird]

@RocktheStageNYC just wondering what's happening with Bun E. ? his health problems that is ? I understand that Daxx, (Rick's son) has been filling in for him on tours. Best wishes to both of them and hopes of Bun E. getting his health problems resolved.

[InvisibleRightLegLad]

These guys still sound great.

[fatback2]

Conan was stoked to get that guitar. 8^)

[calchisox]

Love Cheap Trick! Such talented, nice guys! But I wish they'd lose the dancing girls. They look stupid and the band is more fun to watch without anyone else being on stage!

[CAMARO30082]

@calchisox are you crazy? those fuckin girls rock dude. i have one eye on the girls and one eye on the band. (:>)
