Love these guys. Cheap Trick is honestly one of the best concerts that I ever saw.

[@kristinebarbaree2697]

Rick had some great stories. Tom is just a sweetheart .

[@gailm9908]

Tom is just such a calm, cool soul.

[@ctownrocks]

If rick wants to interview with glasses on LET HIM... Don' try to control your guest...

[@Saksm113]

Terrible interview, but holy crap, you gotta love Tom. There is no Cheap Trick without Tom.

[@Shell6424]

Tom is such a sweetie.

[@lesliem3864]

Rick likes to do all the talking. Lol..... Love Cheap Trick.... Saw them In a bar playing in 90's , one of the best shows ever.... My ears are still ringing

[@hollybischoff7490]

Rick is really good looking

[@gailm9908]

Right. Not only are all four band members talented. I think they are pretty good-looking as well.😢

[@mgabbard]

Thanks for posting this!

[@raydaisiesstudios]

I don't think Rick is annoyed, I think he was just tired from all the touring

[@drewbacsi]

Rick was seriously pulling that guy's chain.

[@eartraffic]

Hey Rick and Tom... the KINETIC PLAYGROUND... :) That was the Electric Theater when I was a kid living in Park Forest. I saw Blue Cheer there in summer of 68. And others. Thanks for the reminder guys. - Jeff (from PEELS band, not Elephants Memory)

[@chriskroll4166]

You saw blue cheer in the summer of 68. Wow you must be at least forty years old. 🤣 I would have died to have seen blue cheer in 68. They would have melted my ears off .

[@irafranklin3959]

I kept on expecting the guy that was asking Rick all of those questions to say " Shit , you're a real cowboy " !!!

[@powlperc]

Rockford, did a lot of stuff in Chicago

[@shelley9000]

@cubsjimmy Ultra-great interview!!! :)

[@cathystrachan4403]

Tom is a total babe

[@pwkpilot]

Rick's very last comment at the end says it all.............the interviewer was horrible and unprepared!

[@Hegstuffing]

+pwkpilot Too kind... he was a dick... in my humble opinion.

[@sherrydrake4973]

Where's that yummy Robin Zander?

[@shawnecarmichael8267]

Chicago?? Rockford

[@MrPhotodoc]

Rick "Old Grumpy" Nielsen was well behaved there.

[@ASide45]

I agree with Rick about the black church. I played Black Gospel bass for ten years, (I was even the only white guy in some of those churches).

[@jamesha175]

shoulder pads!

[@jimsonbrown9768]

Cheap trick. Always the most uncomfortable interviews ever.

[@BonnieK80]

Not at all☺️ They’re just very smart with a sarcastic great sense of humor They really just always want to play but know interviews is part of the gig…I love their interviews…always entertaining, informative and true to themselves 🤘🖤

[@emidore]

The interviewer probably wanted Rick to strip down to see what Rick has...just like the little kid who wants to see the man inside of the Big Bird costume....i.e. "Let's see the magic."
