This band has no past. Literally . . . That statement wasn't accurate when it began the liner notes to Cheap Trick's first album in 1977, and it sure isn't true now. Since first blowing out of Rockford, Illinois to reinvigorate American rock'n'roll with a unique brand of high-powered pop, the colorful quartet of Rick Nielsen (guitars), Robin Zander (voices, guitars), Bun E. Carlos (drums) and Tom Petersson (basses) has never stopped adding to its achievements. They've gotten onstage with Smashing Pumpkins, backed Move wizard Roy Wood, recorded with John Lennon, wreaked fandemonium on tour in America and Japan and worked with producers as diverse as George Martin and Todd Rundgren. They can point to four platinum albums (At Budokan reached triple-platinum) a More...

I think Cheap Trick is amazing and they definatley have their own sound that makes unqiue and clearly one of the best bands of their time today. How insensitive can you get? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Auf Wiedersehen performed by Cheap Trick 25 or so years ago my neighbor's wife committed suicide. She complained of "cold knees" and sent her children and dog away to visit a friend's house for the afternoon, buying just enough time to suffocate on carbon monoxide in her garage. For the next year or so, whenever I felt duely inspired, I took the liberty to crank "Auf Wiedersehen" out the windows of my home for the benefit of the neighbors. What a fucking pussy thing to do, kill oneself. I don't know what the history of this song is. I don't know WTF inspired Rick Nielsen to write it. I only know it comes across as a ruthless, heartless, sneering, scathing kiss-off to anyone who thinks suicide solves anything. How appropriate. So for all the hopeless suicidals out there, here's a little sympathy from me and Uncle Ricky. Very little. So long, sucker. Enjoy your time in hell for not having the balls to live or the brains to figure out how.

Thank You ever so much, Sincerely, Frieda J. Slogaski One of the best yet | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Perfect Stranger performed by Cheap Trick Cheap Trick's song 'Perfect Stranger' is one of my personal favorites. It was well written. I love it. much underappreciated | Reviewer: Arlen ------ About the album Next Position Please performed by Cheap Trick I really liked this album even before I knew Todd Rundgren produced it. Even if you are not a fan of his (or theirs), this album is really a sculpted gem if you like great power-pop like the stuff Little Stephen preaches. Like a lot of their early stuff and maybe even more so, it's raw enough to keep it's edge, and catchy enough to be on the radio. Doesn't sound like, but hits me like the first Strokes CD, as far as creativity in the garage-pop realm. Pretty cool stuff. Detroit Rock City | Reviewer: Joey ------ About the song Surrender performed by Cheap Trick I first heard this song on the movie detroit rock city. i thought it was catchy so i checked out the other songs and I liked them. ^-^ håppÿ | Reviewer: Aaron ------ About the song Surrender performed by Cheap Trick It's kinda cool that Cheap trick is from my home town, Rockford Illinois. I heard about the band on the Rockford Daily Online News that Dave Syverson ( an illinois state represenative ) gave Cheap Trick a break in their band and made them more popular and since they were from my home town, I was eager to see how good they were. The song "Say Goodbye" was the very first song I listened to by them. This is one my favorite bands, and my favorite band from what type of band this is - it is definetly a unique band. Amber is right | Reviewer: Austin ------ About the song Surrender performed by Cheap Trick I discovered surrender while playing GH2, its super fun. I can beat it on expert, and I sing a long with it. girls | Reviewer: smeddie ------ About the song If It Takes A Lifetime performed by Cheap Trick what life is about... always wantin what u have to wait for.. u heart and soul just sink into her beautiful touch. Rock On Dudes!!! | Reviewer: Amber! ------ About the song Surrender performed by Cheap Trick Well I stumbled upon Cheap Trick by accident while scouting around some Rock site and I have NEVER looked back [or forward] to the shit that is manufactured nowadays. Up with the CheapTrick fans out there!!! yeah. | Reviewer: m ------ About the song In The Street (That 70's Show Theme Song) performed by Cheap Trick i never knew what ashton or whoever said in the end of the theme song for that 70's show. i guess its hello wisconsin... lol Cheap Trick is simply incredible, still incredible that is! | Reviewer: Johnboy Martin ------ About the song In The Street (That 70's Show Theme Song) performed by Cheap Trick Boy Howdy to all! I had the priveledge in my younger rocking years to open for Cheap Trick at the Marion Popcorn Festival somewhere in Ohio. I learned quickly that this band took no prisoners. They were serious musicians, and they still are. The 70's Show theme and their steroidic rendition of In the Strret, is meteoric. Contrast and compare to the earlier version sung by Axel Rose. Axl and whoever the band were simply pulled up lame. Flat notes, very shallow guitar sound. Just doesn't rock. Examples of sonic candy..... Rick Nielsen's crunching godzilla guitar and the mega miles he gets out of pontificating and augmenting a Dmajor chord, well he is Unrelenting. The six string bass plays the 3rd and 5th harmony. Wow! Zander has always had the gift of being able to make you believe with his voice that you heard this song before, even if you hadn't. Bun E Carlos has a separate killer drum sound pre-programmed for each and every song. Listen to the man make thunder with his sticks. Check out the new album Rockford. They still have it! Sorry Axl. You were a pawn in a marketing machine. Excellant song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Perfect Stranger performed by Cheap Trick This song is one of the great ones, tapping into what makes Cheap Trick one of the best bands from the USA. After thirty years, this is a new sound that works for them. Well worth the listen ..dreams are made of this | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Take Me I'm Yours performed by Cheap Trick hey this is an awsome song, its all about love and great things. Dream of your girlfriend whenyou hear this. Someone told me this song reminds him of me | Reviewer: Holly ------ About the song He's A Whore performed by Cheap Trick not really sure what the lyrics to this song are... but a guy told me this song reminds him of me. should i be flattered...or embarressed? the question remains. The Hardest Working Band Ever! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Cheap Trick I have been a Cheap Trick fan for a long, long time.
