  • Cheap Trick is an absolute treasure! Check out my Cheap Trick Vinyl – Ranked! Amazing, Classic Live Band! The first seven albums are as good or better than any band ever!

  • Revisting the Cheap Trick catalogue and loving these gear videos. It's been said a million times before, but Cheap Trick and everyone who has passed through their ranks are sorely underrated musicians and songwriters and performers. Nice video. Thanks for this!

  • I was at that concert in Riverside, Iowa, just minutes south of Iowa City. I was in the front row and as always it was a great show. No opening act. Just pure, unadulterated Cheap Trick, the best fuckin' band this town's ever seen.

  • Cheap Trick was asked to perform in My hometown years ago for a 4th of July celebration, but they (management) said their gear was out west and the cost was high to get it to Ohio our city didn't have the budget for the extra cost. WHAT a loss for us.
    The mayor told me that when I was voting one day.
    I believe John Waite played that year instead!

  • To the person that asked what song does Tom Peterson's 12 string bass sound like a 3rd guitar "Ain't That a Shame-Live at Budokan"; when each member take turns doing fast solos.

  • Tom is the one that always cracks me up. Because without the intervention/insistence of Bun E. he'd still be out on his ass! And how
    you look yourself in the mirror and live with yourself after screwing
    over a man who went to bat for you the way that Bun E. did is totally
    baffling to me! I mean he got him totally back in. We're talking full reinstatement here! With 25% voting rights and getting paid a full
    percentage of all the receipts and royalties too!

  • I met Tom several years ago. Not knowing his history, I asked him what was the deal with a 12 string bass. He gave me a weird look, later on I learned he basically invented the thing. Felt like an idiot once I found out.

  • I've seen Cheap Trick many, many times. Rick's crazy guitars, but knows each one well. Then there is Tom's 12 string bass guitars that on many songs sounds like an extra guitar while still holding a fat bass anchoring down the tune. I have soft spot for Bun E. Carlos, though he's no longer with the band, the band had a rock steady beat. Robin Zander one of the greatest vocalists (the man of a 1,000 voices) as he uses many vocal techniques on "She's Tight", his power and sustain on "The Flame", and "I Don't Mind"-ft. Chrissy Hynde. This band can literally sound like the Beetles on many songs, they even have done covers of the Beetles (Magical Mystery Tour, and Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart's Club, and on a EP they did Daytripper).

  • Robin and I share the same zip code!
    Him and his family are beyond nice people, he is always happy to help out in any of our local benefits.
    Joe Perry lives only a few miles away too.

  • Cool rock 'n' roll dudes, can't wait to see them next year..I mean this year..

  • Nice interview, both musicians have unique edges they employ and have employed over their careers, we take for granted some things about Cheap Trick because they're making it look easy.

    Reply
  • It's understandable why they have such a great live show. They know their sound and equipment so well and after all these years that experience really shines.

  • Tom ought to punch that guy – telling him repeatedly he's "stuck" with these wonderful 12 strings.

  • Great to see so many professional bass players have a SansAmp on stage or somewhere it the rack for the FOH sound. Like the SansAmp Bass driver here. No matter how much of the endorsed stuff they show off on stage, quite often what you hear in the audience is the Bass signal from the SansAmp.

  • I can't remember exactly how big Schecter may have been at the time this video was uploaded but I love how modest Robin seems to be about not only those guitars but his collection in general!

  • Great video. I grew up in Rockford Illinois with Cheap Trick. Cool to hear about their current gear.
