The band didn't want to record this song, because they didn't write it. It was forced onto the album by the record company, and they only recorded it because it was in their contract. It turned into Cheap Trick's biggest hit.

there been some stuff floating around somewhere that they even flat out refuse to play it live.

[@sst1911]

@@chrisstory563 I've heard they hate the song, but it's hard to argue with a number 1 hit.

[@chrisstory563]

@@sst1911 it's no secret they do. they would go a great link to avoid playing it live. it's not a bad song but it a product of label meddling. this practice is nothing new. heck some artist even tried making a song sound so bad to leave it off the album. a stunt that Quiet Riot tried to pull with cum on feel the noise and it backfired.

I respect artistic integrity, but the producers got this one right. This song is a MUST!

Never been a big Cheap Trick fan. Only a couple of songs I've liked by them. This being the main one lol.

[@bluesaloon]

Cheap Trick is not a Hair Metal band. They are just a straight-up rock band. Very underrated, too. Robin Zander has one of the best voices in rock music and it still holds up after decades of recording and touring. Also said in other comments, Rick Neilson is a highly underrated guitarist.

[@LesSmith45]

I agree this band is no Hair band. Hair bands are from the 80’s. Even though this song is from the 80’s. Cheap Trick started back in the mid 70’s. Pure rock band with about 4 killer ballads done in the 80’s. No hair band!

[@bocephus124]

And they have a new album about to hit ,and people who heard it said it’s fantastic, can’t wait

[@OldLadyRocker]

Nielsen has a phenomenal guitar selection too!

[@minhmcclure5430]

I always thought their earlier was a little punk. I hear they're one of Nickki Sixx's favorite bands

[@jensz9360]

Who underrates them? Anyone who has listened to rock knows Zander is one of the greats. Anyone else is not credible if they say otherwise.

[@missgmoma]

One of the most beautiful songs of all time! Sometimes for whatever reason we can’t be with our flame but the 🔥 still burns for all time.

[@cjturner370]

Facts

[@onemangang2010]

Working in retail in Rockford Rick Nielsen used to come in and shop every Thursday when he was in town. He is such a down to earth dude.We'd talk music while he shopped and he'd take the time to just have a conversation like a regular dude

[@shaitanlavey]

Zander is very cool as well. Ran into him in Logli's a few times when I was a teenager, he was always happy to chat for a few minutes. They are one of those bands that truly gives a damn about their fans.

[@smatejka1]

Yep, I’ve seen Rick in a number of places, K Mart, Zanocco’s Ace Hardware, coming out with him from an Icehogs game. Always takes the time to talk with anyone. Very much a Rockford guy, now trying to get the casino here as well.

[@danhnguyen-fn9eb]

I grew up outside of Rockford then lived in Belvedere for many years. Was always in Rockford and ran into some of the guys now and then. Best encounter was at a house party, can't remember whose house because of the years, booze and the other things I shouldn't of been doing. but I remember Rick had a guitar and played some and the whole house sang many of their songs. Good times!!!

[@rhalld]

Hopefully Rick can get his Hard Rock Casino up and running where the Clock Tower was

[@danhnguyen-fn9eb]

@@rhalld The Clock Tower is gone? Well, I haven't been in the area for a couple of decades and things do change. But the Clock Tower? Good luck Rick!!!

These guys and The Police, Talking Heads, Van Halen ... I love these late-70s bands that helped ease the transition into the 80s.

[@marymarin3277]

I met them after they recorded this video. They came into "The Moustache Cafe " I worked there and waited on them! The Champagne was flowing! Very friendly and happy group of people!👍♥️

[@KayeWhye]

This song was like tossing my heart into a wood chipper when it came out. I was getting divorced from my first wife. Now, I smile when I hear it, even though that memory still hurts. True to the song though, I do still, and always will love her. Her current husband knows, he hurts her, I hurt him. It's that simple! My favorite Cheap Trick song is "She's Tight." I know you will love that video. It's a lot of fun. 😉

[@tonyhofer6748]

strangest quote I ever heard from Nikki Sixx.."when I get stuck writing a song,I ask myself..What would Rick Nielsen do?"very underrated guitarist..everybody just remembers the guitars not the sounds

Did you have any on your walls? If so, who? It's interesting how when we were teenagers, the music celebrities we had crushes on. For decades, mine was Tommy Shaw from Styx.

Cheap Trick’s hidden gem song: “Voices”. INCREDIBLE!! Please go for it!

[@kbusby4824]

The boys from Illinois definitely put the rock in Rockford. Saw them twice, the first time in 1980 on the Dream Police tour and again about a year later. They are absolutely the hardest working rock band out there. Their induction into the Rock n Roll HOF was well deserved. They have a new album coming out in about 10 days. The new track, Boys & Girls & Rock n Roll, is fantastic. It sounds like 70s era Robin Zander. He hasn't missed a step.

[@lorenzodicocco3748]

Jamel is a Soul Healer for sure. Good people, good vibes. The world needs more Jamel's.

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Another highly underrated vocalist. Great voice and song. Nails that B4 every time I've seen him live.

[@scarletjohnston741]

Live at Budokan is 🔥from start to finish. I wore that album OUT when I was a teenager!!! I've seen them live so many times, as recently as a few years ago at Universal Studios in Orlando during their Mardis Gras concert series & they are still amazing. Robin's voice has taken a bit of a beating but they are every bit as good today as they were decades ago.

[@dancrabbe6423]

Was my first cassette. I wore that out. I think I bought that cassette 3 times before getting the CD. You do not get a call from John Lennon asking you to record with him if you are not great. Kid Rock inducting Cheap Trick into the RRHOF: "There isn't a band in this room that doesn't think it's really a live band. You think you do it better than anyone else. Then you go and see Cheap Trick. That's when you think, 'Man, we kinda suck. I better step up my game.'"

I did love lots of 70's bands like Led Zeppelin, Rush, Yes, etc. Plus others that made good music from the 70's and 80's + Iron Maiden, Metallica, Journey & Queensryche come to mind. Then there were many more in the 90's like Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Green Day, plus many more since like Shinedown, Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park. Seems like you "get it." Smile! 😉

My husband and I still have it. Married for almost 16 years, together 19, and he still takes my breath away just by walking into a room.

You did ZZ Top "Waitin' for the Bus..." and introduced us to "Stank Face" looking straight into the camera. Perfect description of the music and entertaining! I almost fell out of my chair laughing ! Of course your affinity for the Grateful Dead made me appreciate you even more. I have gone done many-a-reaction rabbit holes but always found myself back here and checking in. I see there's some changes going on. I don't know what your future brings in the video world, but I have enjoyed getting to know you over the years and I think you have always been one of the best at doing these. Best of luck to you, my brother. I will see you again in time...

Great video! Cheap Trick did not write this one, but rather the record company brought in outside songwriters. Legend has it Guitarist Rick Nielsen smashed the demo tape when he first heard it. He eventually relented and decided to make it the band's own. It became their highest charting song in 1988. Some people are saying they hate playing it live but that's just not true. I've seen Cheap Trick dozens of times in concert and they often bring it out. They have warmed up to it over time and Rick has even called it a good song in recent interviews.

That's funny, I've heard this song many times, but I never knew it was Cheap Trick because it doesn't sound like the rest of their stuff. This sounds like Cheap Trick doing a cover of a Whitesnake ballad.
