Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen 1983 "One On One" interview

[@michaelday216]

Just saw you on tour in Davenport Iowa. Still kickin ass at 74 in 2023. 😊Got a pick from Rick

[@silvermica]

2:59 - as of this posting it's 2024 - Rick Nielsen is 75 now - and still playing with this band - and touring!

[@RogerHurlburt-ym7wi]

You did it Rick!!!! Rock on.

[@alexchrist7865]

Met Rick very briefly by chance the first time I saw Cheap Trick. He was very friendly and sincere, asked me how I enjoyed the show and seemed genuinely interested in what I was saying. He seemed delighted when I told him he was one of my favorite guitarists and that he was an inspiration to my own guitar playing. Shook my hand and apologized that he didn't have more time to talk.

[@jacquesstrapp6985]

and now rick is 70(almost) and rocking harder than ever

[@demonprincess5634]

he should watch his video

[@ClaudLeon]

Yes, so prophetic!

[@Chompwat]

Well Rick you are now 70 and you are still rocking your heart out. I saw Cheap Trick last month in Nottingham, England and we got a hello from Rick. Great gig.

[@palidiciovermingagurainia1760]

The burp at 1:07 is priceless

[@josephgreen2824]

I was in high school when this album came out and it's still my favorite album

[@denisemoorman3311]

70 and still playing...YES! YES! YES!!

[@StarCityAudits]

I love One On One. First Cheap Trick tour I saw.

[@chrisbouve846]

Hey 1983 Rick, I just saw you in Hartford about 3 hours ago, you're 69, and still musically and visually compelling on stage. Never stop, you're one of my biggest inspirations!

[@duffbaker9554]

@9:26 The pause that refreshes.

[@StarCityAudits]

HA ! Nielsen is 74 now and I'd still pay for a ticket to see him and Cheap Trick.

[@StarCityAudits]

​@A B he was born Dec. 22 1946 do the math

[@scottmactavish9716]

I saw these guys last year (2013) in Florida, and they were STILL great to watch!!

[@oiyabastard5360]

fucking rick looks. like eminem lololol

[@DavE-FM545]

Seems like it was yesterday... ⏰

[@davidames1746]

One On One Tour is special in my view. TP had left, and they came back with the HEAVIEST album of their career. It is more than just a record. One On One is an uncompromising statement of intent and purpose. Basically we don't about anything except to rock as hard as we can. One On One remains my personal favorite for these reasons.

[@BountyHunterBootcamp]

Way to go rick you have achieved your goal

[@SuperFreedomRock1]

One on One is/was fantastic

[@stevenmandl4920]

kinda sucked actually

[@59plexi]

americas angus young

[@sacooper802]

rick said in this 1983 interview that he hopes to be still playing in the band when he is 70, he is now 67 years old and still playing in the band (re: 2016)

[@xennial80sxberner]

I was about to mention that too! He's going to be 70 in late 2018 so basically just about there and he's still into it just like he thought. Imagine how old 70 seemed back then (a man born in 1912-13 back then was like total elderly).

[@kevincason5309]

i've listened and read rick interviews since 1977. i have NEVER seen, heard or read an interview where he was serious before. this is shocking.

[@jayDc000]

At 3:16 you got it still!!!

[@GymUnderground]

One on One was my all-time favorite Cheap Trick album...we played the heck out of it when we served in the Army back in 1983

[@charleswills4554]

Seen Cheap Trick recently and would go see them again ,awesome !!

[@elevatorsfan]

One On One is my fav Cheap Trick album

[@mitchcompton2530]

This is 1982.

[@elk9414]

This is where Rick was supposed to say "I like to watch you watch me" but he refused to read the script. #TrickyRickStrikesAgain

[@1969DayTripper]

to me one onone and woke up with a monster are my fav cheap trick studio albums

[@MusicRoxMyWorld1158]

Gawd!! 4 days AWAY from the show thats closest to me, but still a 6 hr drive... AND MY STUPID CAR DIES on me !!!! Im hating my life right now! It's not fair! Rock out for me guys , Im sorry I'll miss you. :(... ( broken hearted) Aug. 22, 2018

[@acrovader]

They made a video for the song ‘One on One’??

[@cagwa]

Get CT to release the video of One On One.

[@MarceloRomero360]

Jyes!

[@andonibourdin981]

Never seen this cat play live but he seems cool and stuff

[@123tommy]

This is where my love of CT started, OOO. I got the cassette and listened it in my van. I knew about the other releases but this release got me on their band wagon. Then I saw them at the Ionia Free Fair with Mich Rider. They slayed! I believe Pete C. was on Bass(or was it Jon,Don't remember) Any way OOO still has a special place in my heart!

[@TontoEpstein]

Technically a 1982 interview, not 1983, but who's counting.

[@JPMcFly1985]

Might've been like January '83 lol. Lots of times albums will have a few singles released so it'll go into the following year

[@MrTcravens]

cool interview. rick is truly a legend. i don't need the RNRHOF to tell me that.

[@bunezuela1]

You've done Rick

[@xhibitdesign]

I remember when I saw CT in a small bar ('74?) called Sugar Mountain in Milwaukee and I was about the only one there at a small table 6' from the stage. I loved them and never knew they would be so popular. Now I play their songs on my own guitar.

[@tedkay_music]

nice

[@fanoboss]

U RAWK RIK : )>
