    Yes, he really plays that 5-neck. Just saw them live in September and even at 70+ years old Rick strapped that thing on and played it. You can see it much better in the official video for their song She’s Tight. And yes, Robin Zander is an incredible singer and he still is at age 69, too. He still hits the high notes on this song live. He killed it on everything when I just saw them. VERY underrated rock vocalist.

      I've seen Cheap Trick at least 6 times. They don't miss a beat, play a super long set, and most importantly, they still jam just like they used to. They perform as if the stage is their home. I don't know many other bands with their longevity and the high number of their fans young and old.

      Yup, I've held that guitar before one of their shows I worked (I had a career in tour and venue security so I've met these guys several times as I worked their shows more times than I can count) and it weighs a freaking ton. But you're right, Rick still plays it live.

    When I was a young man, I went through a breakup with a girl I deeply loved. This was literally the first song I heard while sitting in my car crying my eyes out and it ripped my heart out. I spent a while healing from losing my first love, but all these years later, the pain is gone. I’m happily married to a fantastic woman that God sent to me right when it was time. Years of happiness and 4 great children later, I can listen to this song with a smile on my face. If you’re dealing with a broken heart, hang in there, it will get better!!❤❤

      @screwyootube1 Год назад

      For the most part, I’d agree. But there are a few exceptions. Hello There, Clock Strikes Ten & Come On Come On are definitely better off In Color, than from At Budokan, while I Want You to Want Me, their signature song, is miles better than the studio version. The other songs from Budokan are about as good as the original studio versions. I haven’t spent much time deciding which songs from the expanded versions off the Complete Budokan set are better live or studio. But those early studio albums from the beginning through at least Dream Police are phenomenal!

    This song is a tender ballad where the singer tells a girl he will always be there for her. It was not typical of Cheap Trick's sound, and was also their only hit not written or co-written by their guitarist Rick Nielsen. The song succeeded in exposing the band to a much larger audience.
    This was Cheap Trick's only #1 hit, remaining at the top spot in the US for two weeks in the summer of 1988.
    In this song, the flame represents the singer's love, which will always burn bright. Those following Cheap Trick's career spotted this song as an outlier, since they eschew metaphor in their songwriting. Note the difference between this song and their previous hit:
    After the fire
    After all the rain
    I will be the flame
    I want you to want me
    I need you to need me

    • @Johnny_Socko

      Supposedly Robin Zander hated this song when it was first brought to them, and he recorded it under protest, lol. He thought it didn't reflect the spirit of the band, and that it wouldn't go anywhere. And then it went to #1.

    This song is set apart from all the rest of their stuff and came so much later. I lost my best friend/ex fiance to suicide and it just ripped a hole right through me. And just when I thought I was doing better, they played this on VH1 and I lost my mind all over again because every word just. All these years later, the song fills me with such warmth, and makes me feel connected to him as if he was sending me a little message of "I'm not gone, you just can't see me, but I'll always be here for you."

  • @darkshadows7119
    @darkshadows7119 Год назад +17

    The reason for multiple neck guitars is simple. Each neck is set to a different tuning, allowing the guitarist to cover a broader audio spectrum with only one instrument instead of switching out guitars as needed. Cheap Trick, especially this song, brings back so many great memories of my teens. Truly a great band!

    In the early 90's, when this song was getting a lot of airplay, I and my co-worker were sitting in my office at work. I was playing the radio and this song was playing. A teen girl that also worked in the building, ran into my office and said "I love this song, sooo much. Who's the group?" When I replied "Cheap Trick" she said "I'm going to buy all of their records" and ran out of the office. When she was gone, my co-worker asked "Don't you think that's unreasonable?" I answered "Not at all."

I couldn't believe they weren't shown more love than that because they shouldn't have been playing that venue after being such a big band (at least in my opinion). I saw them up close and personal in a small club and they were awesome--much better than the venue would suggest.

The lead singer Robin Zander, has a daughter Holland who plays in local band around here. She has her fathers incredible vocal range, herr band is The Sensations.

    Thank you!
    I grew up listening to Cheap Trick (My Stepdad's favorite band). I will never forget when I lived out of state and my Mother was at their concert and called me during this song and sang these words to me "Wherever you go I'll be with you. Whatever you want I'll give it to you" my Mom passed in 2019 and the chorus of this song was on her memorial card.
    My Mom will always be my flame.....
    The live version of this song with Robin Zander's vocals will bring you chills. I also like Ghost Town which is a slower song.

    ZZ Top was technically the first tour I ever saw but Cheap Trick opened for them so they are the first major rock band I've ever seen. I saw them again years later at a little band shell near the river. Both times they were fantastic. A big part of my high school soundtrack.

      “Being number 1” doesn’t equate to lifelong prestige, especially in the music industry. How many “number 1” songs are just catchy and overrated and fade away into the abyss?

    He didn't have a sax on his guitar, the guitar was shaped like a sax. Rick Nielsen owns hundreds of guitars and has designed some of the crazy looking ones. He does play all five necks during his guitar solo. There is a video of their song Surrender, I forget if you've done that one, where he plays four out of the five. One is a twelve string and one is fretless and one sounds like a Fender and another sounds like a Gibson. I guess the last sounds like a Hammer which is what the whole guitar is made by.

    Rick Neilsen from the very beginning is a SERIOUS guitar collector!! From the rare expensive classics to the fun and silly ones he has custom build. In this video you can see some of them in the background. Besides all this, he is a GREAT guitarist. Bun E. Carlos is a great drummer into the old school drums. When other drummers of the day had massive drum kits, he kept it very simple. Always wearing a shirt and tie...ALWAYS smoking. FUN FACT: If you look closely, bassist Tom Petersson is playing a TWELVE string bass! Made by Hamer Guitars...he is one of only TWO bassist I know that use it...the other is Dug Pinnick of King's X.

He is a phenomenal guitarist. The defining line in the song is "You were my first, you'll be my last." He means loves.
