100%. They're playing hundreds of shows per year all around the world, getting millions of plays on streaming services, getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and being widely respected as a band that influenced countless other bands. That's what "happened" to Cheap Trick.
doesn't matter if they've never sold zillions of records, they're one of the best bands in music history. I heard a country group cover "I Want You To Want Me".
They are the best and hardest working guys that I’ve ever met. I looked forward to seeing them as many times as I possibly could. They mean a lot to me!
Just saw them play and you are dead on. Great performance! Zander’s voice is great. They did play obscure songs but hits were fun and highly recommend. I’d go see them again in a heartbeat
I saw them in September of 2022 as well, and most of the obscure songs were favorites of mine...Southern Girls, Downed, Clock Strikes Ten. It was almost like the concert was done just for me. The only thing that bummed me out was that Tom Petersson didn't perform due to his recent heart surgery...he was always my favorite. Instead Robin's son played bass. Gotta keep it in the family I guess. ☺️
17 I saw Cheap Trick in concert. That was the first time I realized all those tapes and albums were cheap copies of a bands awesome sound. I'll never forget it, clean, crisp, loud, in your face, pure rock and roll.
A friend of mine who grew up in Rockford was on his high school planning committee and they auditioned a few bands to play at their Prom. Cheap Trick was one. They didn't get the gig, but he can’t remember who they hired.
My college roommate was from Rockford. While us Chicago area folk thought CT was the bomb, the Rockford/Loves Park crowd wouldn't give them the time of day. I had to beg my roomie to go see them when they played our college campus in '83, which was a great show BTW!
My first rock concert was on the night Elvis Presley passed away August 16th 1977. KISS was the headliner at the Cow Palace and the opening act was Cheap Trick. Loved both bands. And have gone on to see CT live over 25 times since that very 1st concert in 1977. Great and extremely entertaining and talented band. Very deserving of being elected into the RRHOF in 2016. 👍🏁❤️
@@mochabun Cool!!! I remember that the Cow Palace was sold out for that show. My brother and me waited in a long line that stretched out to Geneva street. I think KISS dedicated "Rock & Roll All Night" to Elvis!!!! 👍🎸🥁
@@mochabun I honestly don't remember that. But I remember it took the crowd about 5 songs before they warmed up to Cheap Trick. I was disappointed they didn't get an encore after their last song they played "Please Miss Henry"
@@bartonpercival3216 wow i dont remember “ please ms Henry “ .. i do remember the crowd warmup to them and “ goodnight now ladies and gentlemen “ to be 17 again 😹
For every year that Zeppelin, the Beatles, the Who and hundreds of other classic rock bands survive, there will always be a Cheap Trick to remind us how much fun music can be. 😎🎸
I saw these guys 3 times in my life imo they were excellent, I told that to a lot of people, most of them either liking them or some not having an opion and a FEW, saying they didnt care for them at all, for those FEW, I would say if you ever get a chance, go and see them at one of their shows, sometimes when you hear a song on the radio and it doesnt sound all that great, or you could take it or leave it, you really have to go and see that band live, the radio just cant do this band justice all the time, go and see these guys I am 60 years old and have been a hard core fan since 1980, best F*#KING ROCK BAND EVER, nuff said.
I can't understand why they weren't/aren't popular in UK. Having said that I came across them via Velvet Revolver and their cover of Surrender about three or four years ago. I was astounded by their magnificent back catalogue! These guys have been making great music for ages! I often listen and watch live stuff (I can't believe I missed Robin Zander. God he was hot!) when I'm on my exercise bike. I need something to take away the pain and they're magnificent painkillers!
After Tom Petersson left Cheap Trick in 1980 he was replaced by Pete Comita. Comita toured with Cheap Trick for just over a year then replaced with Jon Brant.
Live At Budokan,,,,,an overnight success story. Rick was and is an avid collector of vintage guitars.... some gp or gw interview"....sometimes i sell something to pay the rent,,,," yeah,,,,,,some pbs bit. He's kept everything.
This band, Cheap Trick, was the one that accompanied me during my high school years, university, and my entire life. I have always admired them, I have always been a fan of them, I have always liked their style, not only their songs, even their logos, the design of their album covers, the guitars that Rick Nelson uses that he himself has designed. It really is an accumulation of many, many beautiful experiences that I have always had when I have listened to it. Even in addition to their records, the pins that Hard Rock Cafe has made about them and the guitar picks that I have managed to pick up at their concerts, on my Christmas tree I have an ornament made by Hallmark that when you press a button you can hear the song "I want you to want me" for at least 45 seconds. I could say much more about them because it is true that every moment I listen to their albums, they give me a feeling of well-being. Apart from that, in the beautiful moments of my youth of my life that I have in my memories by chance or by luck, there's was always a hit of theirs playing on the radio.
When their contract with Epic Records was up they started looking for a new company. Epic wanted them to return to them and started putting out rumors that the band was sinking at the box office. After some lawsuits the band got free, but the damage had begun to set in. Musician Magazine did a story on CBS and Boston. In it somebody from CBS warns Boston, "Remember what we did to Cheap Trick". Budakon came out as a live album In Japan. Because so many copies were being imported into the USA Epic released it officially over here.
@@georgeprice4212 That's not what I was told. This coming from the band. The contract was up and Epic wanted them to resign. The Doctor charted because the promotion muscle was no longer there.
@@harvey1954 then why did Epic drop them after the album Busted? You don’t drop a band you want to keep…nor do you threaten to drop them if they don’t record a song that the entire band didn’t want to. (“The Flame”, which was a #1, but Rick Nielsen said everyone in the band hated.)
@@georgeprice4212 Nobody "dropped them". Their contract was up and they were looking for greener pastures. Epic thought the band owed them since they broke them into the big time. Cheap Trick was ready to move on and Epic started trying sabotage them by telling people the band wasn't pulling in the crowds anymore.
Cheap Trick will always have a special place in my heart as they were the first rock band I ever saw live (age 12, opening for Kiss)... I remember Rick bounding onto the stage wearing a checkboard cardigan, checkerboard pants and playing a checkerboard guitar... You couldn't distinguish between the guitar or guitarist!!!... It was a mass of checkerboard topped with a baseball cap BOUNCING across the arena stage in front of torn up speaker cabinets!!! Coolest thing this 12 year old kid ever saw!!... Been a loyal fan and seen them every time they came to North Carolina since!!!
What happened to Cheap Trick??? 🤣 What the he’ll even is this ag getting at 🤪 Rick is making a Caserole, Tom is out picking up a new air filter for his furnace, Robin is working a cross word puzzle before dinner and Bun E is stretching and tuning up some new heads
Just saw them in Baltimore couple weeks ago and they were great just absolutely great. I have 2 of their albums Lap of luxury and their greatest hits and if course the top gun soundtrack with Mighty wings which was the song me and my brother were first introduced to cheap Trick. Ive started looking at their back catalog and i have to say i really like Rockford. Its a very Beatlesque album and it just hits so damn well.
Love, love, love me some Cheap Trick! True Rockers! Miss the hell out of Bun! They were here a few years ago & I had Primo ticket! Was hoping to catch a pick from Rick! Alas, became ill & unable to attend! 😭 Will Rock On till my death! Long live Cheap Trick!! ❤🤘
Saw them open for RUSH 1977 Tower Theatre Saw them in a huge nightclub in NJ same year Bullwinkle's Saw them at the Philadelphia Spectrum 1979 The, like Peter Frampton, they got REALLY BIG!!
You use the term single and album almost interchangeably here, it gets a bit confusing and is often incorrect as a result…if you’re going to do these videos I’d suggest getting the accurate meaning of these two terms down - they are not the same thing
Budakon was never intended to be widely released. It was a "Thank you" for the Japanese fans. When the record company was checking album sales they were surprised by Cheap Trick album sales surging. Upon investigation it turned out Budakon was being sold as an import, so the record company decided to release it domestically which delayed the release of the next Cheap Trick album, Dream Police.
What "happened to" them is that they worked hard at becoming, and remaining, a class act over a great many years, who probably could've succeeded at other genres of music using "every cheap trick in the book" too had those genres been popular enough to pay the bills.
1:25 He mentions that they got their deal but then says "Even though their song did well in the U.S. the charts did not list it". But he doesn't say what song it is??
Huge CT fan for decades here, I think you did a good overview of the band. Sure, you left out a few minor things (like Pete Comita's short stint on a partial tour and possibly adding a little to writing Reach Out) but overall a good synopsis. I watched to catch a bunch of mistakes, but there were very few. I can tell you are a fan. How about Slade? Second only to the Beatles for #1 hits out of the gate, last I heard.( in England's music industry)
Nice job. Not very deep but covers their album work. Cheap Trick are incredible. I wish Bun. E was not so stand offish. Not that the son doesn't do a great job. It's just it would be so awesome to have the full original group all together. It almost seems like this would be a record for original members staying together or not dying as well for any rock group of their caliber. No matter though they are STILL hammering out the shows as far as I know in 2024!! How Robin or even any of them do it I don't know but it's amazing!
What happened to them? Nothing they are still performing. This video just gives a history of the band... I do Love the band. Just thought something happened to them.
They got pushed aside in 1980/81 for a number of reasons: 1) changing tastes of fickle rock fans 2) rise of more aggressive hair rock 3) de-stabilizing loss of Petersson 4) their music getting more self-indulgent and less straightforward Budoakn-singalong.
Fuse started with DRUMMER Rick Neilson ? He fails to mention bass player Pete Comita who wasn’t on the All Shook Up album but did the entire tour. Then left.
Robin Taylor Zander, Robin's son. He's the second guitarist and backing vocalist, a lot of times filling out Robin's voice. Seems he got into the group by first filling in for the other members. He played drums when Daxx was gone and then for Tom Petersson when he had open heart surgery and Rick a couple times when Rick had health issues.
Does the narrator even KNOW of the groups he discusses? The script-like reading leaves much to be desired. Especially when he inevitably ends each sentence with his grade school amateurishness.
Bun didn’t quit the band. He retired from touring. He is still a member. And he still gets paid when the band tours. He owns part of the band and the name.
@@bryancorley5068 My understanding is that he has back trouble, which is a serious limitation for a drummer, especially with his whole-body energetic style.
Yawn. Turn over in bed. Yawn. Rub eyes. Yawn. Eventually roll over and fire up UA-cam to find video of "Whatever happened to Cheap Trick?" Yawn again. Sip coffee and then yawn again. Watch video and then ponder....what happened to Cheap Trick? Not finding "Whatever happened to Cheap Trick" in the video, "Whatever happened to Cheap Trick" Roll back over in bed....yawn, and then go back to sleep.

They succeeded wildly, and have many millions of fans and are still beloved today. That’s what happened to cheap trick.😂😂
Agreed 💯👍
100%. They're playing hundreds of shows per year all around the world, getting millions of plays on streaming services, getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and being widely respected as a band that influenced countless other bands. That's what "happened" to Cheap Trick.
Right?!?!
doesn't matter if they've never sold zillions of records, they're one of the best bands in music history. I heard a country group cover "I Want You To Want Me".
I think over 20 million albums sold is pretty darn good. 20 Studio Albums.
Hard working band. Obviously dedicated to the music. True rockers.
They put on a great show, they give it their all.
My childhood friend accompanies them often to play harmonica.
They are the best and hardest working guys that I’ve ever met. I looked forward to seeing them as many times as I possibly could. They mean a lot to me!

They come here a lot (Toledo OH) and every time they do, I go see them. Always a great show!
I'm surprised there was no mention of their recording of That 70's Show's theme song that was actually a hit in some markets.
It's actually a variation of a "Big Star" song. ua-cam.com/video/2iXukwny37U/v-deo.html
@@wizardof6 a combination of that song and Surrender.
I'm french and i got all there albums. This band is absolutly grate and genious.

They were just here in Clearwater, FL about 3 weeks ago. They did a helluva show at Coachman park in Clearwater. The whole show is on youtube.

My first concert ever....Cheap Trick ...Eddie Money opened....summer of 77! Good mems
I was 22 and they warmed up for the Kinks in Iowa City (UI grad) and blew everyone including Davies minds amazingly great
Wow! Wish I could have seen that. Loved Eddie, too - RIP. My first CT show was in '78, I was only a HS sophomore. Been hooked ever since.

ICONS FOREVER AND EVER ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I Have been a fan since 1978 album HEAVEN TONIGHT. And got to see them, in 1987, at Six Flags, in NJ( ZOO JERSEY).
They were inducted into the rock & roll hall of fame.
That’s what happened to them.
Rick Neilson is the guitar player. Not the drummer.
His son, Daxx, is the drummer now.
And, it's Nielsen.
@@springhollerfarm8668and they're were twin brothers. They were Nelson.
@@bigredmachine1 What? It is Nielsen. No O. Check any of their record covers or their official website.
Great band,one of my favs that I've seen about six times...👍🏾
So good!
Strange, - after collecting many of their albums, I finally found their 'first' album released in the States. My favorite.
They never gave up, they just got better.
There may not be a better live band. I actually did spotlights on one of their shows in the early 80s while in college.
Pete Comita replaced Petersson. Brandt came after that.
I seen them in the 80 and last month, still a great band
I can't understand why they weren't/aren't popular in UK.

Saw Cheap Trick at the Capitol theater in Passaic N.J.. 1975.. Great live show.....
Saw them at the club called The Fountain Casino in New Jersey. Great show.
One of the hardest working bands over a very long period, Twisted Sister is another with ten years of club shows to start with.
The greatest rock band ever!!!
Saw them open for RUSH 1977 Tower Theatre
Saw them in a huge nightclub in NJ same year Bullwinkle's
Saw them at the Philadelphia Spectrum 1979
The, like Peter Frampton, they got REALLY BIG!!
I saw them in Philly with the mmr bbq and I really enjoyed the show. They still can rock n roll
their Christmas album is awesome. contains a great cover of the Kinks’ Father Christmas…

This is how unrealistic this video is…. At 1:09 … uh , dude … that’s Queen.
This video sucks. I saw Cheap Trick in 1974 in Detroit. Thus dude's dates are all wrong.
Bun E Carlos was cool.
he's gone now.
"On the drums Mr Bun E. Carlos"
And now, Mr. Daxx Nielsen
Bun E once said to Robin "We're scheduling shows around your daughter's kindergarten classes?". Robin didn't like that
What happened to them? Nothing they are still performing. This video just gives a history of the band... I do Love the band. Just thought something happened to them.
Nothing really happened to them they're still trucking playing music
No Bun...NO FUN!!!
Chip Greenman was the Fuse drummer, Rick Nelson played keyboards and guitar 🙄😩
😎👍 the American beatles!
They are still playing in Illinois, without bun though.
What happened to Big Star?
They got a their song used as the theme song for That 70s Show. As done by Cheap Trick.
They got pushed aside in 1980/81 for a number of reasons: 1) changing tastes of fickle rock fans 2) rise of more aggressive hair rock 3) de-stabilizing loss of Petersson 4) their music getting more self-indulgent and less straightforward Budoakn-singalong.
are you kidding me! They never were gone!
Someone should write a book about these guys....
There is a book. It’s titled,This band has no past. It is a great read 👍
@@joelhahn792 There's three books about Cheap Trick out there. Each covers a different aspects of their career!
Also an earlier book called Reputation Is A Fragile Thing..a good read.

Drummer Rick Neilsen?
Great band for sure !! Saw then in 1977 sudbury ontario canada where they backed up kiss Incredible show!! 1st concert i ever saw !! I was 16 then!!
You left out a bass player. Pete Comita played for a year after Tom left and Jon Brant joined
nothing happened to them, their flame was hot and then they faded...like a lot of acts.
Fuse started with DRUMMER Rick Neilson ? He fails to mention bass player Pete Comita who wasn’t on the All Shook Up album but did the entire tour. Then left.
Sometimes there good most times sloopy..let's face it anybody can be a succes in Japan.....even Joan jet !
And her twin, Joan Jett.
How many times have you seen them, once? They are never sloppy. Maybe a little tired as they tour more today than most less than half their age.
One thing: who’s the fifth guy? There’s a photo of Cheap Trick in this episode and there’s five members….
Robin Taylor Zander, Robin's son. He's the second guitarist and backing vocalist, a lot of times filling out Robin's voice. Seems he got into the group by first filling in for the other members. He played drums when Daxx was gone and then for Tom Petersson when he had open heart surgery and Rick a couple times when Rick had health issues.
They live on in your brain hahahaha hahahaha. Dream Police, police police ✌️👍🇺🇲

Does the narrator even KNOW of the groups he discusses? The script-like reading leaves much to be desired. Especially when he inevitably ends each sentence with his grade school amateurishness.
CT is nielson’s ego trip. Bun had the good sense to escape RN’s megalomania. Anyone can be a big fish in the cess pool rockford has become.
They changed their name to Cheap's Trick. Cover band now.
what do you mean....they sti;ll tour

Yawn. Turn over in bed. Yawn. Rub eyes. Yawn. Eventually roll over and fire up UA-cam to find video of "Whatever happened to Cheap Trick?" Yawn again. Sip coffee and then yawn again. Watch video and then ponder....what happened to Cheap Trick? Not finding "Whatever happened to Cheap Trick" in the video, "Whatever happened to Cheap Trick" Roll back over in bed....yawn, and then go back to sleep.
I thought they were bigger
Another lousy AI generated Video, don't waste your time if you're a Cheap Trick fan
Whoever Penned this.... Blows CHUNKS. Seriously. Clearly, the farthest from Actual fans.
