Heard this story a while back, allegedly the whole not talking business is not because of the recording. His wife did not bring the potato salad to the pot luck dinner at Rick's house as she had promised she would.
After seeing CT 20+ times around Chicago pre-Epic, they nailed it hard with the first album. When In Color arrived, I was shocked & stunned by the gutless & nutless production. The tunes were great, the performances were on the button, but it took a few years to get into it. When I finally heard the Steve Albini (RIP) version, I liked Werman's better. WTF?
It is a shame. His work for them was nothing but gold. The album they did after Dream Police with George Martin / Geoff Emerick was absolutely dull sounding compared to their first 4 albums (debut produced by Jack Douglas) and killed their momentum, AND lost their bass player. (where have i seen that before?)
Tom left because of the age old reason so many problems have come between men...women. Specifically one woman named Dagmar, his wife at the time. Handful of years later they would divorce and he would rejoin Cheap Trick. When will we learn, fellas.
Apart from the fact that they lost their bass player after being produced by George Martin, and regained him when Tom Petersson ran into Rick Nielsen at a party for Julian Lennon. @@garfinn4555
@@billymac6233 I loved the Studio Sound of Rick's guitars. Albini is overrated and Eddie Kramer just pushed record. Interestingly enough, I haven't seen Rick complain about Dream Police sound. Seems hypocritical and revisionist BS about In Color when you had the same dude for 2 of the next 3 albums. And ...I thought Bun E. was the jerk. Turns out Passive Aggressive Uncle Dick was too Great bands don't need to whine Just saying 😱🏁😎⚠️

Ain’t that a shame.
I like both versions. Just wondering why so many musicians seem to resent Tom Werman, even though he helped delivered them so many hit records
This doesn’t make sense, they recorded two albums after this together and they had to have spoken to each other.

In Color is my favorite CT studio album. I’m not a fan of the Steve Albini version, though.
I have no idea what this beef is about? Something to do with adding piano in the mix..?

@@garfinn4555yeah weren’t they supposed to form their own band with her singing. Forgot about that.
The production sound of that album is awful. It’s all choked off and gated. The first album sounds amazing!
Exactly. Werman is such a colossal tool.

Thankfully CT changed that song to a more rocking version instead of that honky tonk version on the studio album!!!!!!!! 👍🎸
While I like both versions, the rocking version came first. I do enjoy the piano, though.
Cheap Trick was a pretty good garage band. Just sayin
They never rehearse. They know their entire catalog.
