My favorite song ever. The last two minutes send chills down my spine everytime.
I've had the chance to see it live: it's even better.

There's a nice clip made for the song at the time on the Cheap Trick channel, check it.

  • This song is fucking amazing. I would love to karaoke sing this song especially the last two minutes

  • I saw them a year before this album came out. 2 sets a night for 4 nights. This song used to be called "The Ballad of Richard Speck" (the mass murderer who killed 8 nurses in Chicago). The best time I ever spent in a club.

  • @getreadytowiggle1991 The decision to change producers and their sound came from the record company. Unfortunately, nothing was ever as gritty as this album. I liked their later stuff, but it just doesn't compare.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!......want to know some juicy gossip about cheap trick that they dare not print in the magazines.....go to "eleanor rigby nzoz1971" and read my 3 comments. regards.

  • I saw them do this one tonight.

    Chilling.

  • They played this at Download festival 2 weeks ago - amazing, timeless!

  • The last part is Nirvana way before Nirvana.

  • The last two minutes are probably the most intense two minutes in the history of rock music. If you aren't disturbed, hopefully you're in prison : )))).

  • Originally "The ballad Of Richard Speck." Studio made them change it.

  • Yeah, I remember when they were forced to change the title by their record company.

    CT had it right the first time,

  • You guys def know what you're talking about!! Great rocking track and it def pumps you up!!!Rick Nielson by far, is one of the BEST 'rock and roll"guitarist out there and always has been... zander' voice is so awesome!! i can hear the john lennon "tribal yell" influence that was used on his first solo album ie."mother'... Zander is def one of the best!! This Cheap trick album( their first)is such an important album to own...it's fantastic!!
