"Lot of people have covered that song (gimme some truth) "NOT LIKE CHEAP TRICK".....great to see this !! one of my favorite bands...seen many times....kids, they are LOUD...never forget Austin 93 South by Southwest.....growing up in late 70's...this was THE TOP American band , along with KISS and Aerosmith....GREAT BAND...glad to see on Jonesy's Jukebox!
saw cheap trick '79 in melb... apparently they were supposed to have.. a) had the biggest PA melb had ever heard... and b) the loudest concert volume ever played in melb... could've been bullshit....but my ears were ringing for a day afterwards and i was about 30 mtrs from the speaker stack... was a good show
I remember when Cheap Trick was big in the late 70's. Now they get just 20 thousand views on RU-vid while these fake vloggers like Mcjuggernuggets and Lance Stewart get millions of views on RU-vid. I don't get how people can watch fakers and liars; to me , I find fakers and liars boring.
First time I heard the Sex Pistols, I thought they sounded just like (wait for it)-- CHEAP TRICK! So, yeah, I think Rick Nielsen and Steve Jones are extremely similar in the kind of power chords they play
TRUE! I mean, c'mon! Listen to the topics they are covering. Stuff that involves sitting in a recliner watching TV. Jones should prepare at least a LITTLE. He doesn't have suitable topics, and he hasn't done any research. I love Jones' guitar work, and I love Cheap Trick, but this interview is a real SNOOZEFEST!
3/4 of Cheap Trick is not Cheap Trick. No Bun, no fun; no Bun E, no money! Boycott these guys until Bun E Carlos returns to his rightful place behind the drum kit. I've been seeing them since the 70s and I have nothing against Rick's son who is a very good drummer. But they seriously need Bun E.
Can't wait for the new music! Listened to Christmas Christmas yesterday, to me that is a all season album. Saw CT at Naperville HS in 76, remember driving in Aurora Il in 77 listening to In Color and the debut self titled on a Pioneer super tuner 8-track with Jensen coaxial speakers in my Nova....... Can never get enough Cheap Trick😎 Rock on guys!
I'm just a couple minutes in and holy crap they sound like they're either just ready to fall asleep, or they aren't quite woke up yet. Jones sounds flubby and tired. And that's from a guy who LOVES both of the bands these guys represent!
This must be a trip for Daxx, hanging out with these elderly rockers. The pacing and tone is completely different for oldsters. As I age, I find myself more and more in love with older rockers. They still put out the goods. Summer!
I've seen Cheap Trick probably a dozen times, because we lived near Rockford, IL (Hometown Boys !!) One time it was at the Rockford Armory with the opening band, Ace (How Long?), Then Cheap Trick, Then Rush. (!) I mean what a great night (!!!) It was 1974 or 1975. We were standing about 5 people back from the stage to the left. It was a Great performance. During Rush we stepped back to the back of the Armory because the sound was ear piercing and as we watched Rush, Robin and Rick walked right in front of us. Rick was wearing a full length fur coat, saddle shoes, and a beanie and holding a pennant. (!!!!)
I can't get into their music without Bun. With Bun, they were my fav band since '79. They lied about betraying Bun to their fans and now they have a song about truth. Lennon spoke out about politics. The song suits him. CT seems fake doing that awesome song. Last I looked, they didn't even allow political talk on their site. Not talking about politics is part of the problem that got us in a mess.
Duff Baker ~ Since the corrupt, few on top who are making the decisions that are decreasing our standard of living and taking away our rights want an uninformed and compliant citizenry, they share your view. We need to stand up for ourselves, not enable oligarchs.
It is refreshing to hear someone who loves the band speak honestly about Bun E. I stopped seeing them a few years ago after a 30-year-run. No Bun E, then they won't get my money, and I am damn serious.
Curious if you’ve ever heard their debut album or the next 3…97 CD and the one before that WUWAM? And if you’ve never seen them Live, your really missing out 🙌☺️
