Cheap Trick - Dream Police (Official Video) 

Also, Surrender is a rock classic and easily in the top 20 rock songs ever written.

rick is one of the most down to earth and humble guitar players with fame one could meet, he is super super cool to just chat about life with met him years ago just a all around nice guy

A similar thing happen to me on front street in Memphis Tn, he was jogging but i difinitely recognized him the road. He played mud island that weekend and went to see them. There is more crazy stuff the story, but anyway the show was cool. Lost his autograph, oh well. Cool dude.

Cool story. He always seemed like a pretty nice dude.

I would have probably wrecked mine!

John Slupski Absolutely! He can play equally as awesome on both left and right-handed set-ups. Sure miss him in the band.

Yeah he was fantastic an exceptional drummer!

And the ever-present cig never dropped from his lips.

Yep. Looked like he hadn't even had his morning coffee yet but was always a fuckin' non-robotic metronome with great style.

he played the perfect parts always, suited the tune, not too flashy but effective. gotta respect that, like phil rudd from ACDC. i love progressive drummers but this also sits nicely with me.

Watch “The Rocker.” It will make you respect your own comment even more.

or from a 70's porn movie ahahahaha

Just don’t take his stapler

@@mikethegrunty5968 Hello Mike, what's happening?

@@mikethegrunty5968 HAHAHAHA..

glad you're still here

Timeless track

That's what timelines music is

More like 45 years later

See in them next week in Sydney so happy!!!

@@bernicehenry9738 have fun !

Saw them in 2015 and sounds the same! Luv them!!

Gotta love a real great band that survived through the 70’s AND 80’s, And still rocking!

Big Mike is talking well said

He is smooth on those skins. Reminds me of Cesar Zuiderwijk , drummer for Golden Earring. He bangs them like a well oiled machine.

Smooth, and yet one of the hardest hitters ever. I'll never forget seeing them on this tour, with Sweet. Bun E's kit was literally shaking so hard it was blurry! Of course Bun E just maintained his cool throughout the entire set, but I swear if his drums weren't bolted to the riser they would have gone flying in every direction

@@Brewzerr A lot of these guys are way, way strong, especially with their drum strokes.

Guitar Hero: World Tour got me into Tool - I was already hip to Cheap Trick ; ) .

Dude if it wasn’t for guitar hero, I wouldn’t be pursuing a music career nor my taste wouldn’t be as diverse

@@yle99624 A lot of younger dude say the same thing guitar hero talking about all kinds of music that's pretty cool. Those of us who were old enough in the eighties we had the option every day to listen to music from all over the universe it was cool as hell. But it's nice when I see younger guys or women saying similar things they found all these bands they never would have playing guitar hero definitely cool. Rock on

it was gutair hero aerosmith i believe this was an ost. its one of the first 3 songs played in story mode too. ill always remember this being one of the first songs that i heard in that game. playing other games like II and III, i had too much of a taste in metal and grunge n when i heard cheap trick i was at first wasnt sure that i liked it. but that usually happens for alot of stuff we grow to like. it also made me like them more when i found out they hail from illinois. my home state:)

Same here man

Right there with you

I get it so much! '79 I turned 13 halfway through the 8th grade!

Well said! Very evocative song.

Yup. Big sigh. 💫

Raggordy hahahaha Dad saves the day

love the dad theory

Daddy Should Have Stayed in High School

That's basically the plot of the movie The Rocker.

@@yvc9 yeah

1BAT9MAR Bravo Co.

Cool! But I thought you guys drove around in tanks cranking I Get Around 😋

10-4 DADDY, Tanks for your service! SemperFI!

Ty all, even though the wars were criminal banker bullshit, you guys didn't know. Cheers.

Hi I recommend an indie song and video you might like called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix

Same here bud!! Take me back to better times and better music.

@@m1a1hm right??!! Lets Goooo! Best tunes ever!

@@CrazzzzySky I'm with you bud.

thats awesome

Lucky barber, Jeffrey. Interesting, but not surprising , that you could hear that.

Actually, I meant “lucky bastard, Jeffrey”(in a warmly envious way)

By '78 they were already huge in Japan, and they were starting to take off pretty quickly here in the states. Surrender made a small splash on the charts that summer. I was already into them by then, but I didn't get to actually see them until the following year, on this tour, with Sweet at the Sam Houston Coliseum in Houston. One of the top 10 best shows I've ever been to in my life. However I did finally get to see them at a bar many years later, in '97 at Stubb's BBQ in Austin. That show was almost as good.

Played Summerfest a ton of times in the 70s and 80s.

I'm 16 and I heard this song on a game called guitar hero I played and I became inlove with it😭

Nice! Did they ladies shout "Cry! Cry! Cry!" during "I want You to Want Me"? Or is that no longer a thing/was only ever a thing in Japan?

I heard cuz of their name they had a problem getting out of the states. Cuz of their name. 😂

I'm 59, and a big cheap trick fan. I was a big fan of them going back to the mid to late 70s. When the dream police came out, I couldn't get enough of it, even till this day.

Saw them with Def Leppard at end of 2018. Bloody brilliant!! Hello there ladies and gentleman - are you ready to rock!!

Are you a veteran? The timing sounds like it. If it applies, I hear you and understand. 'Nam (USN) 1972...

@@jamespobog3420 Not a Vietnam Vet, too young. Military Service and 25 yrs in Law Enforcement. Many years working as a Forensic Ballistics Expert as well as on the street. Seen my share of guns, bullets, and bodies and post mortem examinations. As well as all the suicides, fatal car accidents, decomposed long term deceased bodies and all the pleasures of dealing with the live bodies. Hanging up my gear each shift and heaving a sigh of relief because I was in one piece. (Don't confuse me with the idiot Police Officers who feature greatly on YT. A lot has changed in the 20 yrs since I was doing it. I shudder when I see how some Police behave today). I have a lot of Vietnam Vet friends, mostly former colleagues who went into law enforcement after their military service ended. You and I are part of the club who understand what it's like to be used up by the machine then tossed away like a dirty rag when we cease to be of use. One of my good Viet Vet mates (3RAR 67-68 and survived FSB Coral-Balmoral), summed it up one day in two quotes: "C-Rations are full of sugar and salt - it keeps you angry". "I hate civilians, they just don't get it". He's one of the few people who understands me, sounds like you do too. Take it easy brother and thanks for your support.

@@jamespobog3420 I'm a veteran of 23 years in law enforcement in Sydney Australia. I worked in Forensic Ballistics as well as on the streets. My career was mostly guns, bullets and bodies. Post Mortems, Criminal Trials, as well as the usual suicides, long term deceased persons, crime scenes, fatal accidents, death messages etc. The stuff you don't hear about the good cops doing on YT. As well as Military Service. I worked with a lot of Vets, some of whom are friends to this day. I was too young to be drafted for Vietnam. As a Vet mate of mine, who survived FSB Coral & Balmoral (1967-68) Bien Hoa, says, 'I hate civilians, they just don't get it'. Or 'C-rations are full of sugar and salt...it keeps you angry.' Most of my former colleagues are damaged goods. The glossy posters don't tell you what you're in for when you retire. Thanks for your concern. 🇦🇺

@@jamespobog3420 Mate, I have responded to your question twice, detailing my background, and twice the message has been deleted by YT. I have no idea as to why. So I'll just say thanks for your concern. Edit: I'm a Veteran First Responder with a background in Forensics as well. I was too young for the draft. Some military experience also. I've seen my share of suicides, fatal accidents, guns, bullets and bodies. Post Mortems backed up with District and Supreme Court experience. The glossy recruitment brochures never tell you that by age 40 you will be damaged goods.

Sorry for your suffering! I thank you for your service ❤️ Hopefully the days of war will be over soon. God bless you ❤

Listening in 2022 I was so happy to hear that they are gunna Tour Australia this Year Wooohooo

AND the songs still hold water, and the bands still touring!🤘🏻

Cheap trick the most under rated band in classic rock a band my pop loved to hate and part of the Styx/Foreigner/Cheap Trick triumvirate

Best Pop band since the Beatles

mhadman Damn straight.Remember getting together on a friday night and loading the car up with friends and rocking to this song all the way to the drive in.Best times ever.MISS THEM OH SO MUCH.

Budokan forever rocks!

They had great songs like this but then radio garbage in the 80's

Julie Budakan got us American rockers to realize how great a 4 guy band can be.

emotionalinvalid I remember you at batting practice with Hammering Hank.

That’s awesome

Wow

That's an awesome story.

@@jleffel6969 Gusoline Alley, I think it's still there. Back when I worked there it was voted as having "The best Jukebox" in Detroit.

thee4thdoctor Yup i was a teenager and saw these guys live and they are even better live .They made people look twice at them and look past the comedy and realize SHIT THESE GUYS ARE GOOD.

I saw them only once, and that was back in the Spring of 1989 when I was still 20 yrs old. I saw them play in an odd location...sort of, it was at a Hall on a College Campus! Millet Hall, at Oxford College in Western Ohio, on the Indiana border. I live in the central Ohio area, so it was a long drive, but I love a good roadtrip! By the way - The FIXX opened for the Cheap Trick. CHEERS! ; )

Before Reagan screwed everything up

@@thee4thdoctor I saw your comment on inxs don't change and I agree this was the golden age of music

@osama bama - CHEERS! ; )

They were more 70s than 80s . By the 80s they were well known

how lucky we were ;)

@@MaitreMark Could not agree more.

The 70s and 80s had the most kick ass music. I was 9 years old when this song came out and I remember my older brothers cranking this song up on the stereo for me.

Late 70's would be more accurate.. one of my favorite high school 8 tracks!

I paid 5 bucks to see Genesis in 1976 , We sure got our moneys worth back then!!

Blows my mind. 1979: Joe Blow Productions Presents ZZTop. Six bucks. Today: Budweiser, Mountain Dew, Chevrolet and Skoal present ZZTop. EIGHTY bucks.

Bun e Carlos

And a bag of good Columbian was $20, ahhh , those were very good times

$5.00 in 1978 is equal to $20.00 in 2018. $20.00 is still a good price for a concert ticket, better than $80.00 any day! 🤘

Actually its a very young Lukather on guitar, uncredited.

Vinyl is still the best way to listen to music, there’s just something about it as opposed to perfect digital. Our ears can only hear so much perfection, and there’s just something so special about that crackle and pop before the song begins!!!

I Was An Eight Year Old California Kid Grooving Hard On Cheap Trick.. Live At Budokan Was An L.P. I Totally Wore Out.

Just got this on vinyl

Hey you forgot Tom on his 12 string bass guitar

Every ....single ....night.

Tom Petersson (two s's)

By birth it was Thomas John Peterson. He changed it to two s's later on. Thus why more people know him as Tom Petersson..

+ill met by moonlight Thank you! I did not know that.

I myself didn't know for a long time.

Whats the guitarists name?

I bet you are an awesome person. Go dad!!

Oops 😊

It is my favorite. I take sleeping pills!

Which elderly care facility did they play at?

I bet the tickets cost more than $5!!

I bet I like cheap trick more than you.

DRUMR 21 i like cheap trick too!

I think i was at that show!

Saw them that same summer, but Sweet opened. Sam Houston Coliseum in Houston. Still have my old ticket stub

@@dipsydoodle7988 YAAAY. his chill izzat that years later e can connect in here. 💪🏻💪🏾

@@Brewzerr on man I'm jealous. Romantics were awesome, but I'm a fan of Sweet be also. This Fox is still on the run. 👍🏽🙌🏽😎

@@Saab901 hahaha. they all seem bigger than life when there up on the stage. I think it is our mind that tricks us and when we see them in person they look smaller than our brain initially made them out to be. Great concert. I kept yelling out Surrender, not knowing that bands have a set list that they hold fast to... lol Keep on keeping on brother, we have a lot of great memories. 💪🏻💪🏾

@🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸 🎸 😊

Still does

He sure DOES!!! 😎

The two guys harmonize really well. HAVE ALWAYS NOTICED THAT!!!!

So do you!

Saw them as recently as fall 2018, and his voice was still just as strong as it was in the late 70's.

Because of sin ... the more technology the more dumbed down and hard hearted the heart gets

There is a spirit in this world that is getting bolder and is using the technology to take over the hearts and minds of the young and naive. That’s how.

There’s a Live at Daryl’s House where demonstrates it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wsa3DUnWPPk.html

I remember seeing this video on HBO (when it was still just billed as "Home Box Office") back then. In those days, there would be these long gaps between movies where they would either show student art films or music videos, and this video got a lot of play

@🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸 😊

Lived and loved

richard kusi-menkah thats funny. I never thought about it that way.

richard kusi-menkah The 'manchild" helped me get into my hotel room that I was locked out of when I was 18 at Astroworld in 1985 or 6 can't recall it was so long ago, but just goes to show rock stars are human too!

Georgina Harwin​ that's awesome!

+richard kusi-menkah dont judge a book by its cover

For the record, Robin and Tom had long hair, but they weren't hair rockers, just two guys with long hair, in a band that's concept almost could've passed for an art school project...but yeah, you are right, they came way out of left field, there was nothing out there like them then or even now ☺

@🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸 🎸 😊

My dad too:)

Do yourself a favor and go see them this year, they're still touring!

@@drea4195 I'm seeing them in August

@🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸❤😊

The first to make Cardigan Sweaters look cool.

hell ya.

Carlos Giron He makes the band inique.Anybody can have great looking guys playing but neilsen dont give a shit what anyone thinks and is simply having fun .THATS FUCKING COOL.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers told Rick's kids "Your Dad was a nerd before it was cool!"

You knew it was about to real when he broke it that triple neck 😉😀

I'm in the USA. It's great to hear from you. If the whole world stopped and listened to their music for one hour. There would be piece. Have a great day my friend.

Joyce Campisi it does bring back so many memories

@🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸 😊

Hi I recommend a new indie song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
