Cheap Trick - Elo Kiddies (from Budokan!)

[@zombweed4821]

Bun just killing it.

[@corthullinger9164]

One of the greatest American rock bands ever..Cheap f...ing Trick!!!

[@arrowwaterable8008]

I still have their first album as well as some the others such as Heaven Tonight, At Budokan, Dream Police, Next Position Please and so on.I love Cheap Trick.

I'm 61 yrs old, and CT has been my favorite all time group for past 40 years! Yet every time I watch these types of videos, I am always completely astounded by how accomplished all 4 of them are at their craft. Rick Nielsen, has to be one of the greatest lead guitarist of all time. Tom Petersson is by far the greatest 12 string (or any other type) of Bass guitarist to walk this earth, Robin Zander has a vocal range un matched, as well as IMO the greatest Rock vocalist ever, and Bun E, is absolutely phenomenal on the drums, and maybe the most under rated musician of all time,, no one can carry the beat and be the backbone of the sound as good as Bun E!

[@jamesbarrick3403]

I share your attitude... but lets be real, they are a mark in time. They had to write and record a Ballad to gain #1 success (they are not alone). Rock on Garth I say. I absolutely despise cuck rock - and everything from this band in the first few albums simply rocked so good. Tom Peterson is an innovator. He basically told Hamer guitars to build what he wanted... and it was awesome. Now you have a bassist that is also a rhythm guitarist. Rick he was simply solid. Unique for sure, but nothing over the top to be honest. He was perfect IMO. Robin was the dude. He stepped up and delivered. Professional. Bun E Carlos... perfect rock drummer IMO he never overplayed and always on point. I love this band.

[@bartonpercival2147]

Robin’s one of the best rock vocalists, and a very underrated guitar player!!!!!!!!!!!

[@shonnamay8331]

He does play quite well doesn't he? And Ive always loved how slow and elegant he slings his quitar over his shoulder and walks so confident and humble to the Mike.♥️♥️😘 Brings a smile to my face and a warm fuzzy to my heart still to this day ♥️

[@bartonpercival2147]

Shonna May Yes I agree, Robin’s the ultimate rock & roller. I’ve seen CT over 25 times live, and along with his incredible vocal range, he’s always had a great front man presence!!!!!!!!!

[@andymelendez9757]

Yes! Listen to him on Ricks solo

[@dirkmcgurkin1272]

I met Robin behind the Newport in Columbus Ohio. Surprisingly down to earth. Approachable and not the least bit impressed with himself. A guy walked up to him and bummed a cigarette and called him Todd Howarth. Robin didn't miss a beat! Nice guy.

[@johnny3d962]

That's a great experience. I'm from their hometown of Rockford, know and interacted with all of them many times over the years. As a musician myself, I have known and played with both of Rick's sons, Miles & Dax onstage in a few occasions. All I can say is, they are the most humble real as you get, authentic rock and rollers you'll ever meet! They act just the same on tour, as they do in our hometown as regular citizens. Great guys all of them & their kids.

[@SilverStarz]

I'm as cheap trick as one can find. It takes me back to 1977 when Cheap Trick opened for Journey at the San Diego Sports Arena, I went nuts, then steve Perry walked on stage, I went to heaven and back. I met Carlos in a parking lot and said rock and roll baby, he said thank you. Hey you, let's do it again. We can you know.

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

Steve Perry did not join Journey until late 1977.

[@SilverStarz]

@@deathmetaldouglas69 Thank you, my bad, I have corrected it.

[@leemcclements8889]

Sounds like the youth of today.They were ahead of time with this song.

[@adamparr6464]

CHEAP TRICK is 1 of those awesome rock bands that’s a bit under appreciated. They are awesome in their own right.

[@Strimbles]

This is what real rock sounds like kids

[@nealdarstein4799]

❤

[@Shell6424]

This must sound awesome live, Bun’s beat makes the song even better.

[@alanlake5220]

Bun E pounding out the intro, spot on

[@underock4]

Bun E was the heartbeat of Cheap Trick...very sadly it ended badly, but what a legacy.

[@andymelendez9757]

So good

[@GearJamminSalmon]

@@underock4 Bun E was definitely THE perfect timekeeper for CT. Definitely.

[@gulfmarine8857]

The en3rgy is out of this world 😮

[@markperry4165]

Ladies & Gentleman, BUN E CARLOS

[@elyneburns2224]

'Played this vinyl incessantly when it came out way back when - it still rocks pretty hard - what a unique band, in terms of style & sound - all these years later, I don't believe I've heard anyone else before or since that's quite like them

[@andymelendez9757]

There’s an echo in the room. Landmark album!

[@williamreynolds4855]

You said it perfect , nobody then or since sound like them

[@mc2mc277]

Greatest American RockNRoll Band..what a catalog of songs!

[@joyboquila9477]

Love it so much when Robin is growling.

[@Christine16425]

Moi aussi 🐶

[@GearJamminSalmon]

Just a little trivia: Japanese Cultural History... 1978: Cheap Trick introduces "ELO Kiddies" to Japan 1975: Sanrio introduces "Hello Kitty" to Japan. Would you rather have Hello Kitty or Cheap Trick on YOUR lunchbox? My answer is: "Yes".

[@arsenalxa4421]

The first time I heard this song was during a Steel Beach picnic during a 2008 Mediterranean Cruise while I was in the Navy. I think one of the engineers put it on. I never knew the name of the song until it popped up recently on a community radio station.

[@ivyhope660]

Robin Zander was so 🔥 back then! A gorgeous man and talented. Could listen to him sing all day!

[@Christine16425]

Oh yes, oui👍

[@angiewilson3192]

I was there!!👍❤

[@brittdanielrocks]

🤘🤘🎸 🎸

[@brittdanielrocks]

@angie I know it's surprising to receive a reply. How are you doing today?

[@davekelly9657]

They played a USO show on the KITTY HAWK in 84 along with some other great groups. It was a great show. Especially since I am from Illinois. KANSAS was awesome also.💯👍👍⚓⚓🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@starbird1111]

Badass Bun E

[@jeffandersen7397]

1st album i ever owned. these songs are still some of the best rock music ever recorded

[@shonnamay8331]

Amazing Band♥️ They stand out above the rest. 🤗🤗I love Robins Vocals ♥️♥️

[@brittdanielrocks]

🤘🤘🎸 🎸

[@briancox8518]

What a brilliant band seriously underated

[@Christine16425]

Surtout en France, je ne connaissais même pas, il y a seulement 1 an mais j adore 😍🤘

[@GearJamminSalmon]

Epic throttled this band. Seriously. The original Budokan album was seriously anemic, compared to the Complete Concert album. We missed out on all those other gems for years! Cheap Trick deserved a better label.

[@stevensmith6019]

In today's money Rick has about 5 million dollars worth of guitars standing in front of his amps.

[@jesgarcia9556]

When i heard this when i was young everyone heard it my giant speakers .y amp n i wd jam till 3 r 4 in the morning great times

[@underock4]

Classic Cheap Trick...showcases how tight the band were. Still cherish my plectrum, from Hammersmith Odeon gig '79. Think we were row 4 !

[@gulfmarine8857]

Bunn-E is on fire😅

[@Zander77777]

This whole album is fantastic! Keep rocking!

Saw this live….

[@rickhertz1862]

Bun e Carlos family was instrumental in building the Panama canal

[@GearJamminSalmon]

He also was the father of the Dos Equis Guy...stay informed, my friends.

[@raychell370]

もうすぐ会える♥♥♥♥

[@CB-xr1eg]

Sounds like Oasis on the chorus. This is where Liam got his vocal style from then.

[@tobiasdog100]

That album was a huge part of the soundtrack of my teen years, but I don't remember this song...like, at all.

[@GearJamminSalmon]

That's because Epic Records first put out a ten-track album...seriously anemic compared to "Budokan: The Complete Concert". Epic held this band back hideously.

[@ronlafreniere4147]

You lost me at "I think..."...

[@drewbacsi]

So, you missed some school??!! 😱

[@GearJamminSalmon]

They say that school is for fools. Well...college is, anyway.

[@ruthdixon7807]

a reference to the electric light orchestra?

[@GearJamminSalmon]

Either that or just "'ello". Nobody knows.
