DAMN I love this song. Hey ASSHOLES who run the SO CALLED "Rock & Roll hall of Fame". When is Cheap Trick going to get thier due?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who's it going to be next instead of Cheap Trick? ........ K-Fed. Pull your collective heads out of your ass! Cheap Trick is the Best!!!!!!

No, that's not a guitar, that's Tom's distorted 12 string bass. Part of his setup sounds like a bass, part of it is also running through guitar amps, that's a big part of how they get such a full sound.

Loved this single from the album in Black and White and Colour I think I still have that Cheap Trick Tee Shirt, first one from a Rock band I ever had.

HEY MAN ALL I KNOW IS I SAW CHEAP TRICK WITH UFO AND GAMMA AT THE PROVIDENCE CIVIC CENTER IN 1982 OR 1980 AND I SAW CHEAP TRICK AT THE OCEAN STATE THEATRE IN 1982 OR 1980. I AM 47 YEARS OLD AND HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF CONCERTS, SORRY I CAN NOT REMEMBER EVERY YEAR I SAW A SHOW. AND I WILL NEVER CALL THE PROVIDENCE CIVIC CENTER WHERE I SAW ALL MY HEAVY METAL THRASH KICK ASS SHOWS FROM THE 80S,THE DUNKIN DONUTS CENTER. EVEN IF THAT IS THE NEW NAME. I SAW OZZY WITH RANDY RHOADS IN 1981 AT PPAC IN RI

@corvettebmw This show was at The Providence Civic Center. (Now called the Dunkin' Donuts Center)

[corvettebmw]

@oozilchoo HEY MAN I THINK THIS SHOW WAS AT THE OCEAN STATE THEATRE, I WAS THERE I WAS 16 YEARS OLD. THE SHOW WITH UFO WHICH IS STILL ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS AND GAMMA WAS AT THE PROVIDENCE CIVIC CENTER IN 1982 I THINK. I HAD FOURTH ROW CENTER THATS WHEN I WOULD GET TO THE PROVIDENCE CIVIC CENTER AT ONE OCLOCK IN THE MORNING TO GET A NUMBER FOR MY PLACE IN LINE UNTIL THE DOORS OPENED SO EVERYONE IN LINE COULD BUY THIE TICKETS. UFO WAS A LAST MINUTE ADD ON TO THE SHOW . PAUL CHAPMAN ON GUITAR.

its sad such a great generation of music is dying because of the lack of taste and indivdualism back then there were hundreds of good bands with great songs so much great diversity today its just rap that sounds all alike or rips off the old generation and wtf is with a jonas brother getting on the cover of rolling stone!?!?

[oozilchoo]

I was at this show and remember there new slick jackets. Trying to remember if this was the show that Cheap Trick headlined with UFO and Gamma (with Ronnie Montrose)

@mikepo Although there is probably some normal soft tube distortion, I wouldn't call his bass "distorted 12-string" per se. He runs a fairly clean tone, doesn't he? Anyway, you're spot-on, his huge 12-string chugging notes are what gives CT this full sound, even when Rick is playing all over the place. I always found the Tom bass solo to be really silly. He basically just tremelos a few notes and dances around. Not much you can articulate on 12-strings like that.

Amazing band, amazing sound.
