Woke Up With A Monster - Cheap Trick Live TV

[@collectivesool7777]

Robin is one of the best rock singers ever !!!!!!

[@ZeroZenZep]

Great song and powerful performance from the Man of Thousand Voices Cheap Trick never ceases to amaze me.

[@chrischilton8455]

This sounds massive with the showband behind them!

[@bobbconner1]

This song should have made it to #1 the video was so cool too....

[@mirrortime]

These guys are so good at what they do. I mean that times a thousand.

[@charleswinokoor6023]

Great song. I hadn’t been that big a fan up until the time it came out. But I bought the CD after hearing it and ended up giving them their due. I like how Rick Nielsen seems to be getting a kick out of playing the same stage where the Beatles played in February 1964.

[@wilmajo]

I remember taping this on David Letterman. I also have recorded many other Cheap Trick live performances over the last 20 years. Thank goodness I transferred them to DVD! Obviously I am a huge CT fan. We have seen them at least 20 times in the last 20 years live! Love 'em!

[@williamreynolds4855]

Nice , wish i had. They are so good. I really like this song

[@tomlover68]

March, 1994. The band had a autograph session, in Rockford, illinois, the week b-4 this aired, at Media Play.

[@acecool4449]

3 weeks later, and this is STILL! My favorite KZbin Video.....Cheap Trick in their PRIME! Not too young, but not too old! (their years of playing live and musical experience really shows in this vid) Awesome Stuff Here! Have it posted on my Facebook and even grabbed the video to my hard drive. Just wish it was in higher definition.

[@lindbutlful]

They are so damned good.

[@mac5856]

I saw them in a small bar venue back in the 90's, like only 200 people there but still the best concert I have ever been too

[@risboturbide9396]

Really?! Where?

[@Janetmessmore9999]

I Love cheap trick

[@maradoona86]

Cheap Trick did invent grunge back in 1977. Listen to their first album. Kurt cobain is a spitting image in looks of Robin Zander and mannerism. Robin has a better voice. Range all over the place!!! He can hit all the notes.

[@williamreynolds4855]

Your so right spitting image 4 sure

[@classnsass2740]

I love Robin Zander 💗

[@Bensidhe]

One of my all time fave bands , bar none...they simply rock =)

[@vinorama58]

Trick should tour with that back up band. Wall O Sound.

[@ldolphin34]

Cheap Trick finally in the hall. Best bar band ever. Robin Zander and Rick Nielsen could have played with anyone. It's an absolute crime this album and the 1997 album did not sell.

[@mookie709]

Cheap Trick still rocks !!!!! See you guys in Orlando June 4 !!!!!!!!

[@vanshipman]

Cheap Trick are one of the greatest rock bands ever in my opinion. Their rhythm section is elite and the greatest singer in rock. Rick may not be a virtuoso guitarist, but he writes excellent power pop songs and plays them well. Now if they could just get Bun E back...

[@williamreynolds4855]

I second your opinion !

[@burnem10001]

still fantastic after all these years !! good evening, ladies & gents. . . . are ya ready to rock ? ??

[@classnsass2740]

I LOVE Robin Zander and I LOVE Cheap Trick 💗💗💗💗💗💓💓💗💗💗💗

[@classnsass2740]

Cheap Trick is #1 for now & always 💗

[@DaleB]

Now THIS is how you do Rock-N-Roll!

[@acecool4449]

This "Live" version sounds better than the studio version. Look at the passion in Zander's face. You see this in almost every video e.g. "Best Friend" watch?v=9E434yEh_Ro I also love the vocal range with the ability to change his voice. Good evidence of this can be found on the album "SPECIAL ONE" Now compare that to all the hoopla you get with dancing acts like David Lee Roth (not that VH are bad). This is true rock and it's outlived most rock bands to this day! LONG LIVE CHEAP TRICK

[@williamreynolds4855]

Absolutely Long Live Cheap Trick

[@waunjr]

Robin Zander the best!!

[@shonnamay8331]

My my my, Rock on Cheap Trick ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@carloslaramurillo2056]

Amazing. I love it.

[@ronlafreniere7345]

cheap trick rulzzz

[@stormycat9]

I can't understand why people think they are "trying" to sound grunge? Have you people heard their stuff from the 70's? Sure, they went a different direction for a while, but fuck, they may as well have invented grunge. I dunno, maybe I don't know what the hell I am talking about. All I know is that I have been listening to their 70's stuff since, well, the 70's and when the grunge bands got big in the 90's I thought that they all sounded a lot like early Cheap Trick.

[@gailm9908]

No, you nailed it. They never had a set sound which makes them amazing.

[@iflyc77]

@rachel7274 Yeah. This isn't a back track. They are just that good

I think those guys are after kind of "down on earth" pals. But that was brilliant! Good cheap trick, I may say. Maybe the best?

[@JP_Wu]

+stormycat9 yeah, you're right, in fact all those alternative bands cited Cheap Trick as an influence.

[@blindterrytucci2752]

Something I've never understood...they sign a new deal with Warner Bros. who have them shoot a video and make various talk show performances but release THIS as the first single. I love the song but they needed a hit and this was the absolute wrong choice. "Tell Me Everything" should have been the first single, followed by "You're All I Wanna Do", and then "Woke Up With a Monster". They're the greatest rock band in the world and to think they got dropped from a record label after one record is beyond depressing. Then in 1997 they make an album that can actually stand up next to any of the classics and the record label goes bankrupt and no one hears it. I fucking hate it. I fucking HATE that they aren't the biggest band in the world.

[@CheapTrickFanatic]

Actually Rachel, ur wrong. They're absolutely live. 100%.

[@brakedrummerz]

This is one of their tracks that clearly shows the Beatles influence on my Boyzz from Illinoizz

[@gregoryleo4640]

Boyzz from Illinoizz is a different band, from St. Charles, Illinoizz. They released an album titled 'Too Wild To Tame'.

[@acecool4449]

So Amazing, too bad grunge stole the spotlight.....then it died! Long Live Rock N' Roll/Cheap Trick

[@6StringCrunch]

@iflyc77 It sounds that good because Letterman's band is playing with them. It probably would have sounded OK with just CT themselves, but with 2 extra guitars, an extra drummer, keys and horns it sounds huge.

[@MuscleDad420]

That's cool, you have an album. This song, a single, is obviously an effort to tap into that genre and reintroduce Cheap Trick to the charts. And also, I hate to break it to you but nobody over the age of 12 will take any of your opinions seriously if you use the word "fail" in that way. Sorry. :(

[@trusso11783]

Great song. Bought album just to hear it. Total John Lennon Cold Turkey rip off at the end. I say that as a good thing. These guys are great. I was happy to see them leave The Flame and Don’t Be Cruel behind when this album was released

[@risboturbide9396]

Which song? "Cry Baby", I guess...

Good! you have an opinion, now please give it a break already.

[@rachel7274]

Sadly they are playing to the record' don't know why I guess because since it was the new single they wanted it to sound perfect.

[@armanelgtron4533]

Playing to the record? They sounded pretty live to me, complete with a minor voice crack ( 2:07 ) and a lyric mess up ( 0:52 ) "'Cause Mommy and Daddy just don't eye to eye..."

[@manuelpuente7336]

[@gailm9908]

No Rachel, they are just that brilliant. In this fabled world, some true artists, sound just as good as their recordings. Rachel, Cheap Trick is one of those rare jewels.

[@MuscleDad420]

I wish it COULD take a break, but misinformed people such as yourself have it working overtime!

[@MrUniverse]

3/5 for genre

[@MuscleDad420]

You realize this is Cheap Trick's attempt at the 90's grunge/alternative genre, right? It sounds like Faith No More, if anything.

[@gailm9908]

No. Sounds like the band, Cheap Trick.

[@acecool4449]

Nope! Maybe to people like you it sounds like grunge, but to those less biased and educated, you fail. I have the complete album, so you're wrong. Thank God grunge is finally dead and as far as I'm concerned and it should stay that way.
