We were chatting and he told me his band was playing at the Zoo that night, I said “oh,yeah”? …. What’s your band’s name? He says, Cheap Trick… I almost wrecked my fuggin cab. I told him I was a long time fan and apologized for not recognizing him. He gave me a guitar pick. Cool guy.

Yep. Cheap Trick showed us 70's kids that arena rock can actually be FUN without taking yourself seriously. By the late 70's I was so fed up with all the 'serious' rock stars and their pose. Rock had reached a point where the band members thought themselves godlike and untouchable to the teeming masses. I started getting more into the (then) new punk and new wave bands around that time, but Cheap Trick was an exception. Even after I dove headfirst into hardcore punk I still kept waving the banner for CT. They always put the music and the energy ahead of the dumb rock star mystique. Still a great band to this day (though I really miss Bun E Carlos).

One of the top 10 best shows I've ever been to in my life. However I did finally get to see them at a bar many years later, in '97 at Stubb's BBQ in Austin. That show was almost as good.

As much as I love Cheap Trick... I mean, they've been one of my top 5 favorite bands for about 43 years now... I gotta say no to this. There were *SOOO* many other bands before this that kicked the doors down for punk and 'alternative' music. I mean, where to begin? A good starting point would be the mid 60's with bands like the Velvet Underground, 13th Floor Elevators, and the Sonics (among many others). In the late 60's and early 70's there was the Stooges, MC5, New York Dolls, Modern Lovers, Droogs, Flamin' Groovies, etc... and then punk pretty much kicked off in '75, at least in NYC -- two whole years before Cheap Trick even had their first album out. Punk bands like the Dictators and the Ramones had albums out before Cheap Trick did. I'll tell ya what CT should be credited for, and that's making arena rock FUN again. They proved to the world that big time rock bands don't have to take themselves too seriously to be successful. They made it accessible at a time when most rock stars thought themselves godlike and untouchable. They were kind of like the missing link between big arena rock and punk/new wave attitude

Bun E. ABSOLUTELY KILLS IT with those drum fills in that middle part! The way he orchestrated the fills to build tension - then fills to go back into the chorus to release the tension is SO SWEET, man... l dig that shit!!...

Vinyl is still the best way to listen to music, there’s just something about it as opposed to perfect digital. Our ears can only hear so much perfection, and there’s just something so special about that crackle and pop before the song begins!!!

An enigmatic band, Cheap Trick. They were at their best when going over-the-top weird, as in "Dream Police". Their power ballads left me cold, but when they took the shackles off of Nielsen magic like this happened...

I saw them play at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium in Ontario, Canada in the mid-70s. I had no idea who they were before I got there, but I definitely did by the time they left the stage! After it was over, I bought a Cheap Trick bow tie with their signature double-printed logo. I passed it on to my son years later. I wonder whatever happened to it?

I was 11 years old when Dream Police was released,which at the time,was very popular. I would hear it being played on the jukebox in my school cafeteria almost everyday. This was my first introduction to Cheap Trick,who became one of my most favorite bands of all time. Dream Police,in my opinion,is the quintessential song that displays the great talent of all the members in Cheap Trick,especially Bun E. Carlos who has often been overlooked for being an excellent drummer. His drumming is impeccable as the song reaches a crescendo with the string section.
