Cheap Trick's Band Members Lifestyle ★ 2023

[@tonyl6203]

I remember one of the many times I saw them live, during the long instrumental part of "Dream Police" Robin ran offstage, and I could see him. A roadie handed him a brandy snifter and a cigarette. The whole time the band was playing that long part, Robin alternated between drinking the brandy and taking a drag off the cigarette. Just as the part ended, he took one last drag of the smoke, tossed it into the remaining brandy in the glass, handed it back to the roadie and jogged back onstage just in time to grab the mic and go "The Dream Police!" I always thought that was the coolest thing ever. ;-)

[@gregorycarlson6632]

I’m privileged to know those guys, although I haven’t seen them in a few years. Like Rick, I’m born and raised in Rockford Illinois. His wife Karen was a High School classmate of mine. At Rick’s invite, I saw them the first night they played out at a small club here. Great memories!!

[@MarceloRomero360]

Related to Brad Carlson?

[@cheaptrickfan]

That’s cool, but Rick was born in Elmhurst

[@networth9151]

A man who is a rock star, married to his original wife and drives a Toyota and Honda SUV is a rare individual.

[@nottoday3440]

But he is bisexual and makes out with men on a dance floor !!

Rick cuts his own lawn nuff said.

[@clarkmgb9389]

Back in the 80's I saw Rick and family get out of a red Porsche 911 at a Baskin Robbins in Rockford. He didn't always drive boring cars.

[@Michael-F4ul5kzbuck]

Rick to me seems more cool as an older guy

[@doninwv]

Not sure of the accuracy of some of this.... I know Rick has a Smart car and an old Thunderbird

MR. BUN E CARLOS….on the DRUMS.. Please add his info

[@groofoot]

Gregory Zahn Gregory Zahn 0 seconds ago His real name is Bradley M. Carlson ... he was born here in Rockford, Illinois on June 12th of either 1950 or 1951 .... graduated from Guilford High School here in Rockford (as did Tom and Rick). He left the group quite a while ago, as he and Robin never did get along all that well. He was replaced by Rick's youngest son, Daxx Nielsen ....

No mention of Brad Carlson, AKA Bun E. Carlos? Well, you really do your homework.

[@MrKmoconne]

We want to also know about Bun E Carlos? He split from the band but we still consider him a part of the band.

[@georgehenderson7783]

GREAT drummer!

[@captainamerica4685]

I agree. Maybe they didn't want to show Bun's lifestyle after being kicked out of the band, of living in a trailer park and driving a 1973 pinto car

[@bartonpercival3216]

Yup, I remember in maybe 98 when they were doing the 3 night stand with their 1st 3 albums I went to see them at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, and the day of the 1st show I saw Robin & his wife at Joe's of Westlake eating at the counter. I recognized him right away with his long blond hair and dark sunglasses. I was there ordering some takeout and went to the show all 3 nights. A truly great American rock & roll band. He's also a very underrated guitar player!!!!!!! 👍

You forgot the drummer…..

[@mc2mc277]

Hey Robo narrator….please pronounce “Hamer” correctly, since Cheap Trick has used them as long as the guitar brand was around. It is a HARD “A,” as in “HEY-mer.” Also the bass Tom is holding when you SAY “Hamer,” is NOT a Hamer. Actually, that bass is sitting next to me at the moment.)) Plus you have his location incorrect…..And PLEASE ADD Bun E. to your video.

I wonder what's Rick Nielsen's net worth is??????

[@philliplandry4139]

22 million.

[@davidbannen6749]

@@philliplandry4139 Well there's no truth to these numbers whatsoever. They list Robin's net worth at $25 million. Rick is much much much wealthier than Robin as he is the sole songwriter of their biggest hits. The band frequently mentions that Rick is "Mr I Want You to Want Me" in terms of why he's way richer than the others. Beyond their own royalties Rick makes money off all the covers of that song, which are many. Songwriting and "publishing" is always way more profitable. That's why band members often squabble over that. At some point in the 90s or so Cheap Trick started writing and listing their songs are collaborations and the money for that is probably more equally distributed. But Rick is far richer from the early hits. These videos are total clickbait and relatively useless.

Actually, they didn't. I got wind of Cheap Trick way back in '77 when my best friend's boyfriend tipped us off to the band. He told us to watch for Heaven Tonight, which would soon be released. I immediately bought in Color, and loved it. So I bought their self-titled debut and then Heaven Tonight soon after. This was all BEFORE Budokon (hated it!) came out. Been a fan ever since.

[@bartonpercival3216]

@@dbee119 Yup, I bought the In Color album in 1977, because my brother was a huge KISS fan and we were going to see KISS at the Cow Palace in Daly City in August of 77. Cheap Trick was the opening act and I wanted to hear what they sounded like. What an incredible concert that was, KISS was awesome, and Cheap Trick had such good tunes and a huge live sound.
