World's GREATEST HARD ROCK! CHEAP TRICK Themed CASINO & Museum!

[@krismueller9498]

Both the museum and the guitar are new. It's just opened a couple months ago. So glad you came to my hometown. Come back sete

[@markn3936]

Bun E Carlos will always be an enormous part of Cheap Trick and their sound.

[@stmn346]

The lick on “I’m losing you “ is iconic.

[@jayweiss4378]

Paying tribute to so many talented and wonderful entertainers has always been a great idea! I love to visit these theme places and just walk around…

[@kbusby4824]

Thanks for checking out my home state again. I saw Cheap Trick on the Dream Police tour in 1980 and a year later as well. Virgil Abloh, the fashion designer, was from Rockford as well. He left us way too soon. Saw Joe Walsh last year with the Eagles. Great concert.

[@javiersalas7670]

Love your videos Jordan...since youre huge a baseball fan you should do a video on Fernando Valenzuela.....

[@catherine6653]

Thanks for sharing all the music memorabilia. 🎶

[@BigDogCha]

Always been a big fan of Cheap Trick. Saw them twice when they toured with Motley Crue, Poison, Ratt. and Cinderella a few years back.

[@jamesrsfo]

Another great video! That used to be a restaurant and bar called Giovanni‘s. My best friend Frank and his family owned it. Piece of trivia it’s co-owned by director Francis Ford Coppola. They purchased the restaurant to turn it into a museum/casino. I don’t get back to Rockford often. So this was a fun video. I will share it with my fellow Rockford friends that have moved away and may not know about this.

[@mariaday712]

The things in here are just awesome. Thanks for showing us around. Take care.

[@jimmychamberlain7382]

Great collection. Rick has so many other geetars to rotate in and out. Thanx for sharing this new attraction.

[@dorindabotterbusch1796]

Great hat Jordan

[@janashleymoon1285]

I remember having a Cheap Trick t-shirt in High school and a teacher made me turn it inside out!! She said it was inappropriate not knowing or caring it was a band!! My favorite band and I wish I still had it!!!!

[@angieburnett4341]

Oh my gosh, THANK YOU for this video Jordan!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Cheap Trick!!!! Wore out Lap of Luxury cassette when I was young!!

Grim Reaper was Rick's band in high school. Guilford High School class of '67.

[@joannwilderman8921]

Saw Rita Coolidge on the guitar ❤

[@chrisbohner1092]

I think their album live at the Budokan was recorded when they opened up for Kiss.

[@ericbalthazor4044]

Definitely a new hotel/casino

[@VanessaDo-lu7cd]

jordan loves fans hard rock

[@surfer5352]

Great video but was also expecting a food review! 😂

[@Spaceman1968]

Love Bun E! They are not the same without him.

[@j.prisco5594]

Saw Journey and Cheap Trick at the Egyptian Theater in DeKalb, Illinois, I think it was 1977!

[@KathleenBond-f1d]

He owns Stockholm Inn in Rockford which has great swedish pancakes

[@TomTobin67]

Ginger Lynn is also from Rockford but I doubt they did a display of her ummm....work. 😅

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Haha

[@JamesFelix-b8d]

Hello Jordan thank you for posting this video I am a long time number one cheap trick fan I'm hoping someday to go up there tobacco casino museum I have met Rick Robin Tom and Bun. They are all great guys and well-deserved I have had chats with bun he really does not like to talk about Robin because they had a falling out I am being respectful by telling you this it really is a shame I hope someday they can reconcile. Thanks again your videos are always great

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Its an amazing place

[@seatstitcher3636]

I think the bun e Carlos story is that; he claims he and the band agreed that he would do recording, but not go on the road. But when he got ready to do that, he was informed that he had been replaced.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Yes, that sounds right!

[@oldermusiclover]

James was Rick Nelsons guitarist before he became Elvis' you are so lucky to have met him and Rickys kids

[@marylupapada4601]

Partly took over for Mc Donald’s rock and roll in Chicago

[@chrisbohner1092]

As you know being a Kiss fan also....and you being friends with Eric Singer Cheap Trick is good friends with them . They used to open up for them back in the 70s. Rick played on Gene's 1978 solo record.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Yes, kiss and queen were thenfirdt bands that let cheap trick open for them when the first record came out

[@dbowles53]

Saw Cheap Trick in a live outdoor performance on the riverfront in Peoria, IL. Easily one of the best live performances I have ever seen.....

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

I saw them open for either fleetwood mac, or aerosmith, and they were awesome..

[@dbowles53]

@DazewithJordantheLion .38 Special was on before Cheap Trick. I bet Rick went through at least six guitars that night.

[@chrisbohner1092]

I love cheap trick!....

[@chuckmadden2251]

Music collectors heaven. Next time you are in Cincy area and have time to stop by one the best vintage music stores in USA let me know. Mike's music owner is a pall- you'd really like him. I can warn.. I mean tell him you're coming 🙂

[@philipwood5114]

Kiss was under represented at that H ard rock Cafe! Just one Paul Stanly guitar

[@Steellearning]

Rick Nielsen owns The Sweden House, famous for their swedish pancakes.

[@ChesterBenjaminLane]

I have seen Cheap Trick in 2006 with my late friend but unfortunately I lost my guitar pick along time ago but unfortunately I don't recall where I lost it

[@cdd4248]

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Keith wyatt was one of my guitar teachers at MI

[@markogden9289]

[@bryonhogg485]

I lived by the Hard Rock in Vegas - Looks dated - Broken bottles on the sidewalks - Like most Vegas Casinos - Their best days are behind them . . .

[@dawnburkhalter4223]

Was there anything from Michelle Williams from Destiny Child? Because Michelle Williams is from Rockford IL.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]
