Yesterday I met a man named Aidan that was telling us about the year he got to work with Cheap Trick. It was about 4 or 5 years ago. This one particular occasion, Aidan had his son with him, who was 7 at the time. The bands and crew were all having their catered dinner before the show. Rick Nielsen decided to make faces at the boy. The boy made faces back. Rick makes another face. The boy grabs a handful of spaghetti and pelts it directly at Rick. Aidan, mortified, approaches Rick and offers him anything. To clean his shirt, a new shirt all together, a kidney, etc. Rick says "Are you kidding? I'm going on just the way I am!"

What a guy!

Cheap Trick are going to be featured on the sequel to the Rock Band video game. They're tacking on "Hello There" which is a bit of a strange choice if you ask me, but I can't wait to play!

In case you didn't know, "Dream Police" is featured on the latest edition of Guitar Hero, GH Aerosmith, and it's a lot of fun to play!

I got a few short clips, we weren't to close, but close enough, It was loud, I could barely make out the words in person, but it sure turned out well on the Camera...







I have a few others I want to get up, but My Photobucket was being bad yesterday. Anyway, I had a great Night, they were awesome as usuall.

OK, I'm as gidy as a school girl. (and I'm going to be almost 30 soon, and I'm a guy)

I am going to see Cheap Trick live at the Convocation Center here at NIU on Saturday night.

I don't know if I can take pictures, I hope so.

:-)

Hahah. That "demo version" of "Fan Club" from Sex, America.

Where the HELL is that dialogue from????

I totally just lost this amazing poster on eBay.



If it was one of you bastards, don't reveal yourself. It's just... too upsetting.
So anyway, hello again. I've got mail coming this week! I've ordered the Live In Australia DVD, as well as copies of In Color and the debut album! I also patiently await my very own

CHEAP TRICK FAN CLUB MEMBERSHIP CARD

I'm holding off on any clothing because I know I'll be able to get a discount later. Hee!
Cater to my shopping spree, would you? Do any of you own the Every Trick In The Book video? Is it worth the $30 I saw it for? Yikes. I wish they'd released it to DVD!

Apparently there is an authorization period once you've registered to the official forum? How much do you guys know about this? It's really frustrating because I want to post so bad, and I can't! I can't change my info, I can't PM people (namely the moderator about this very subject). Getting into a new band means becoming a part of a new army! I want in!

I do have you guys though! Group hug! Time for conversation!
I'm dying for the day to come when I hear Cheap Trick will be playing in my area (or within a 500 mile radius). I saw clips of the New Years Eve show in California the other day, and I wanted to weep. It just seemed like so much fun, and such an intimate experience... sigh. Especially since my New Years Eve was crappy.

Tell me about your own heap Trick shows!

Hello. New member, new fan.
I need a place to hide away from the planet to get this Cheap Trick fascination out of my system. I'm just sorry this place isn't very active. I got into this band at a strange time, cos there's nothing going on with them. But I hope there will be soon. Sigh.

Anyway, hello there ladies and gentlemeeeeen, thought I'd break this ice with this amazing live clip from The Old Grey Whistle Test. So very amazing.

does anyone know whether or not they ever finished the song 'oh boy' or played it live?

Way back when, I used to actually write in my LJ. Now, all I do is post flyers for my band. I actually submitted one of my old LJ entries to Trick News, the official newsletter of Cheap Trick, about 2 years ago. I had forgotten all about it. What do you know? They printed it.

After years of talking about it and planning it, I was finally inked with my Dream Police badge tattoo last Friday. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee! ( Click to see! )

Hey all --
I'm selling some things on Ebay, mostly cds. Cheap Trick's "Authorized Greatest Hits," along with some other great bands are listed for sale. Check them out here :)

(if this post isn't allowed, feel free to delete it).

Hello everyone out there in Cheap Trick land. I was wondering if there was anything new going on with our boys lately? I have been a fan of theirs for quite some time and probably will continue to be for a while. later. :)

One of the only times they've ever played this song live. Just as good as the recorded version. Thanks You Tube!!

What's your favorite Cheap Trick lyric and why?

I just wanted to say hello to everybody! I've loved Cheap Trick since I was 15 and wanted to add my name to the cool people.

I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner...

I put these up on youtube. They are from the Imus in the Morning Show this past Monday. I also saw them at a free show in Cranford New Jersey two weeks ago. They were amazing, just as great as they were when I first saw them in 1977!

So how many of you saw Cheap Trick on the Jerry Lewis Telethon on Monday? I only got to see the final moments. What do you all think? Did any of you make a donation to MDA?

Couldn't find the performance on Youtube, for those of you that missed it, but I do have a cute little film of fans meeting Cheap Trick that I found (no, I wasn't one of the fans; I wish!):
