Cheap Trick - Gimme Some Truth (Official Audio)

[@robmartinez7517]

Love ALL of Zander's versions of this great Lennon song! At Monk's in 2019 Zander said, "It means more today than it ever did before!"

[@sherrishultz1493]

50 years later and this song is still relevant.

[@mustlovepretzels]

I was watching Dick Cavett's 1971 interview of John & Yoko yesterday and I thought of checking out the cover of this song. Glad I did. Good job CT. Cheers!

Best damn cover EVER - Lennon is rocking Heaven tonight!!!

[@tazloon]

CT is one of the few bands who can do John Lennon's music justice...:)

[@LijaMoore]

Love this version of Lennon's song! Badass! 🔥🔥🔥 very timeless!

Robin Zander: “First and foremost, I want to give glory to God with my gifts. I want people to understand the joy he brings us - we’re an alleluia people! If we open ourselves up to him, he shows us the way.”

[@hellrazor67]

I LOVE THIS TUNE! Can't wait to listen to the entire album tomorrow.

[@colinwilliams553]

John Lennon would've been proud of you guys for covering this tune.it ROCKS!!!

[@morbidmanmusic]

They played with him on several songs, this one included somewhere. Some unreleased stuff too

[@rocknwroll]

I saw Cheap Trick July 3, 1976 at Summerfest with Peter Frampton, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Gary Wright, Steve Miller, Supertramp, Triumph, Zebra......There was Bun E., high up on the riser above them all, raining down the thunder. His masterful playing laying down the groove melding with and covering the parochial efforts of the bass and infusing life into the crude chording. Spontaneous, ,inspired, machine like, cohesive kind of drumming that sends shivers up the spine. Put the Bun back in the oven!

[@mikeshane5856]

Back around 92 they did a cool version of cold turkey

[@allthingsbill]

I am confused. I read on a fan page today that they referenced Trump in this song. But I didn't hear it. I know it's in the drop down lyrics. Am I missing it in the song?

[@AMamasLove]

You're not missing it It's not in this version on the song. I'm still looking for the full 1 hour iheart show maybe it was sung then?

[@AMamasLove]

@@tjohnson8647 I had wanted to watch it but my notification never went off. I'm sure someone recorded it. I heard an interview with Rick and him saying the album is about the past 4 year's. Kinda shady of the record company to remove it. What's said is said or sung. Im more questioning if it's for publicity sake? After all of these years why now, ya know?

[@AMamasLove]

@@tjohnson8647 I totally agree! I bought my 1st album and went to my 1st show in 1977. I've been to 39 shows since. #40 I was springing for the Meet & Greet as I've never been lucky enough to meet them. Then Covid hit. Im still holding onto that dream. However if their music is going to stir up the political BS especially of the past 4 year's I'm out. I've had enough divide for the rest of my life. Yes, Lennon could be very political but times were different. Lennon also pushed peace. Which is what we need in these days in my opinion. So glad to have someone to have a civil conversation with!

[@AMamasLove]

@@tjohnson8647 Wow! We're we meant to meet or what?? Are you on FB? I have the same name on there and just changed my profile picture to the Cheap Trick Logo. Send me a friend request I'd love to chat more on messenger in real time!

[@AMamasLove]

@@tjohnson8647 Wow! What an experience to have with a favorite band! Probably as close to a friendship as you can get! And yes, I would have done the same as you did. It sounds like we're in the same age group but grew up on different coasts. I can no longer understand so much of this life. I dont exactly know when it changed, it feels like I woke up one day in a different world and I don't like it at all. My social circles have gotten smaller as my beliefs have not changed but other's have. CT has been a constant I could count on since I was a teen. I have 4 now adult children that were raised on their music. My husband of 31 years is full aware that Robin would be my only hall pass lol. He knew that before he ever married me. For me it's not the politics as much as the disappointment that they have joined the masses of name caller's and the spread of bad behavior and hate. I've lost respect I guess. I've known Robin's political party for years. Since he's a Florida resident it's not a secret. And it's never been an issue with me. I don't vote party, I vote issue's. I consider myself an independent. And I have no issues with either party. I have issues with lack of respect no matter what your opinion is.

[@drummachinedean]

I feel a bit of Beatles here

[@lonelydwightfrye]

Great cover, but man the bottom end on this song wasn't mixed great at all. Need to bring Tom up and out in the mix I think.

[@johngerson7335]

Printed lyrics don't match the track. Or else "Trump the rump" is actually pronounced "Tricky Dickie". Funny.

[@AMamasLove]

Where do you hear that on this track?

[@therealfronzilla]

Great idea, bring up politics and alienate them from 50% of their audience and people that might buy this...good job Karen

[@johngerson7335]

@@therealfronzilla The song is political in the first place, and I didn't print "Trump the rump" in the lyrics which are listed in the drop-down notes. I noted that they didn't match what was being sung in the actual recording: "Tricky Dickie", which is a political reference to Richard Nixon _not_ Trump. The present-tense political nature of the _listed_ lyrics is glaring, considering.

[@johngerson7335]

@@AMamasLove Read the lyrics, printed in the drop-down notes.

[@AMamasLove]

@@johngerson7335 Thank you. I saw a fairly heated argument on one of the bands fan pages on FB. I'm not sure if this was sung or discussed on the iheart show the other night that I missed. I can only find clips of the show and none mention Gimme some truth.

[@Saturn-sd8ht]

Nice try but disappointing that they missed the fact Lennon sang "hypoCRITICS" not "hypocrites"

[@sherryhutchinson1950]

After the one year later Biden press conf, this song should be dedicated to him. Well done CT.
