Cheap Trick tried to sue their label over royalties and lost badly. It set their entire career back, almost ruined them.

    Cheap Trick was the first concert for my son years ago in KCMO at a casino. We worked our way all the way up to the stage just off to the left where Rick was at. I along with others thinking it was cool having my 8 yr old to his first concert, especially with Cheap Trick. We all yelled at Rick it was his first concert. Rick heard us and leaned over the stage and placed his pick into my son's hand. Someone tried to grab it but a really huge biker guy put his hand over his and looked at the guy and told him- 'it belongs to the kid'. He still has the pick, great concert, and thank you to Rick and that Biker.

I think they did allright though they are in the Rock Hall at least. Finally some recognition.

      Finally they were inducted into the Rock ',n Roll Hall of Fame
      I can't think of a more deserving
      band. Actually, Cheap Trick has transcended the definition of a "band. " They're an institution!!!
      Long live Cheap Trick

    I was freshman in high school in 1991/1992.
    I had an economics teacher that reminded me of Bun E Carlos. Mr. Parrot...
    I remember asking him of he had a drum set... No.
    I told him that he reminded me of Mr. Carlos and he loved it! "I'm a rockstar"!
    He retired a little after the new year, and it was a super sad.
    Mr. Parrot passed away a couple years back. I think of him every time I hear Cheap Trick.

    Cheap Trick was my first unofficial concert back in June of 1984. I was celebrating my 14th birthday at Water World and they were performing at the Southern Star Ampitheatre next door at Astroworld. There was a ridiculous little three foot high cable fence separating the parks that you can simply walk over and security was pretty lax. Once we got into the crowds it was super easy to not get caught. Too bad we didn't get to stay til the end cause my mom was coming to pick us up!

  • @OdyBeRidin
    @OdyBeRidin 9 років тому +90

    One intriguing thing about Cheap Trick.... Early 1980's...MTV allowed us to actually see our favorite bands live besides going to a concert. So here you have the drummer, Bun E.,who looked like he could be my dad(at the time), lead guitar Rick with his whacky clothes and a million guitars, Robin king of front men, and the bass player Peterson. What an eclectic group of guys who can bang out killer tunes, Thumbs up CT!!

    • @bobkidd1054
      @bobkidd1054 9 років тому +20

      OdyBeRidin The shame is that if you put together a band like this today and tried to break into the pop music scene, the A and R guys at the label would immediately demand that Rick and Bun be replaced because they are not marketable and would not sell posters and lunchboxes because they are not "good-looking". Then, they would make over Robin and run his voice through an auto-tuner. Then, they would force feed them "formula" pop songs for an extremely narrow demographic and dump them after their second album. God I miss these days.

They played music from the Scorpions, Ratt, Cheap Tricks, etc for 5 minutes through out the halls. How cool was that !!!!!!. There will never be other era like the 1980's . For the younger generations that listen to our music. A million thanks. Now go and buy the music. Please anyone build me a time machine, so I can go back and yes it will be a one way trip.

      Probably my all time favorite song. When I first saw it on MTV, I was utterly bewitched. I'd spend hours listening to Cheap Trick on vinyl with headphones on and the volume WAY up. I'd stare at Robin on the album cover and lose myself in the music.
      My youth would not have been the same without Cheap Trick bringing me so much joy with their phenomenal music!
      I used to watch MTV nonstop waiting for them to play,
      "If You Want My Love," again and again and again
      I love you Robin💗
