Loved that!!! I met Rick in a similar way he met Jeff Beck, minus me asking if he wanted to buy a guitar. I was at a Cheap Trick concert in our hometown on July 7th 1979 where AC/DC opened for them. One of my all-time favorites concerts. After the concert, my brother and I walked behind the arena to see if we could meet them, One of the doors were open so we walked in and I don't remember how it all happened but I got to meet Rick. SUPER nice guy. I was 15 at the time 16 on the 10th and I asked him, "what advice do you have for a 16 year old guitar player" he said and I quote "practice your ass off." So I did. He signed my sweaty soaking wet t-shirt a dollar bill and gave me a pick. Still have it! (The pick) T-shirt got lost over time, wish I still had it. Great memories, thanks Rick and thanks Joe! I've seen you Joe 2x now in our city.
My first concert was Cheap Trick, 1979 New Years eve. I was 12....I still have a pick from the show....Awesome!! 💚🎸
Cheap Trick was my first concert too. I saw them in Waterloo, Iowa when I was 16. When they opened, Tom Petersson was playing his bass laying on the floor and I thought “this is so rock n’ roll!”.
@@johnfrei9057 Great story Brotha! Thanks for sharing.
Rick is a true custodian of rock and roll. His personal collection is impressive. He is a great storyteller as well. Great show Joe.
Thank you for doing Nerdville for us Joe. I'm a 67 year old UK guy watching a self proclaimed alter ego guy be the most entertaining person and also the finest musician I will ever witness in the remainder of my lifetime. Although you give accolades to others, nobody will come close to creating your perfect sound. I've being watching an articulate approachable interviewer in a baseball cap knowing he will go into a phone box and come out in a suit and sun glasses and be the best guitarist in the world.... Doesn't get any more mint than that.
Rick Nielsen is hilarious. This was a great interview - I've seen some interviews where Rick doesn't answer a single question seriously, but he got into some really interesting stories in this interview. Really well done.
Agreed!
I met Rick at the Music lab in Austin 2000ish...rehearsal place - I said, "dude! what are you doing here?" without a beat he said, "I'm putting in quote to paint the place." I saw CT three nights in a row that week at La Zona Rosa. My son was born on the second night...yes I went. Fuck yeah I went. Thank you for this! Shine on dude!
Two of the coolest cats on the planet chatting it up . Joe you made my day . My wife is in the Hospital fighting for her life , I cannot visit her ( Fucking pandemic) .and I was able to escape reality for an hour. Sir THANK YOU!!!!!
Been googling Rick Nielsen, and we have another great guitar collector on our hands!
Love that! ❤️.¸¸.☆
Great interview. Great stories from Rick. Humble guy and funny as hell!
Looking at my Rick pick now from an early 80s show in Albuquerque NM. Great show and best pick ever!!! Opening band Blackfoot. Yes great concert!!!
It would be great to see you interview Michael Schenker, Andy Summers, Pat Metheny, Don Felder. Keep up the great interviews & music JB!
Can't wait for this one. Always have been a cheap trick fan. Rick is a pretty cool cat
You Guys are Both so Awesome! Hope to meet here in Tokyo soon!
I’m originally from Rockford and Have Been a Fan from the 70s to Present! I was Miles Instrucor at Atwood !!
Awesome interview! Thank you Joe!
I am suprised you guys dont pick up guitars at home. My band and I wrote and recorded a full album and released it on Amazon during the pandemic. Obviously you guys are worlds above me but I have been playing for 40 years and have gigged regularly since my teens. I am ALWAYS picking my guitar up. Love this channel Joe thank you
Fantastic job with the first band to inspire me after the Beatles and my first concert in 1982. Fiveneck guitar 🎸 with joe and Steve of Aerosmith covering Day Tripper at the Boston garden made me a live music fan for life. My cousin was a hamer dealer who had to be backstage at all cheap trick shows in 3 states said Rick was always for real never a jerk
I love that both Rick and Joe tour with their vintage guitars. I grew up in Rockford watching CT play the Stardust/Phoenix, Waverly Beach, Sinnissippi and Page Parks for the Mothers Day concerts. He always had those used guitars plugged into a Sound City stack!
One of my absolute favorite bands forever. I was very excited to see the thumbnail with Rick in it!
Can’t wait. Such great interviews

Ooo YES You JOE❣️and Rick🌹Awesome night is coming 🌙💕💕🌙
What a fantastic interview! So great to hear an interesting conversation, vs. the usual questions Rick gets in interviews.
These Nerdville interviews are great Thanks guys!
Maybe one of the most underrated players ever and one out collecting Joe by a mile :)
Who is the one nutter who gave it a dislike!?!? This guy is an ICON!!!
AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was at the Rockford show right before the lockdown. Great show
Top interview, lots of interesting content and advice. Idea how about Tim Peirce THE session man and a touch on the guitar that's second to none. Respect and stay healthy guys.
I've seen Cheap Trick more times than they've seen themselves. Always a great show.
What I love most about this series are the stories!
Thank you Joe!!!!! Sir Rick is a living Legend!!
I love the moments of these interviews when you are sincerely enjoying the conversation!
Bonsoir Joe. Pas possible de vous entendre ds 4 h.je vous écouterai ds 12h A+ bon interview
Awesome!! Really enjoyed this.
So cool
This Guy Is So Cool ,Met Him Years ago At A Harmony House Record Store,,Him and The Band Were Signing Albums ,,They have Been Long Tore Down 🤘🤘
Cool..
Just imagine walking into a record store & THERE IS CHEAP TRICK SIGNING ALBUMS & GETTING TO TALK TO THE BAND UP CLOSE & PERSONAL TALK ABOUT BEING BLOWN AWAY OUT OF NORMAL EVERY DAY EXISTENCE! ..
COOL FOR SURE!

Hey Joe,
Thanks, that was great!
Enjoyed the hell out of this one!!
I think this is the best interview with Rick I've ever seen. Because it's done by another guitar player! Nobody asks this guy the questions they ought to, given his plethora of gear and taste for collecting. Joe has got to be the first guy to ask him about the Jeff Beck burst story in a interview I've ever seen.
You guys are like brothers from another mother....this is great.
My first concert was cheap trick,..Chicago amphitheater ‘79 2nd row!....love them ...earlier the better
No wonder no one said hi to me they were all together last night and I was thinking tonight was last night anyway thank you so much Joe for bringing us these traffic interviews love you

Got to hang out with and play with him in Philippines in '84 w USO band. Not the warmest fellow at the time...other musicians said he was quiet/shy. Saw a bunch of his guitars backstage including his "likeness" double-neck and checker Explorer. Got 3 signature pics.
Another Great Episode.
Suddenly I'm 15, front row opening for Foghat is a band I never heard of...Cheap Trick. I was 5 feet from Rick and couldn't stop watching him play, laugh and interact the audience. Yes I got a pick, which I promptly gave to a girl (out of my league) and still kick myself for.
Sooo awesome stories again JOE❣️ You have so amazing friends and visitors as though Rick🌹is😍😍
Stay safe and be well my love, JOE❤️
Honestly one of the most inspiring interviews In recent memory. Keep it coming
Joe, you are very good at this.
Brilliant, I can't believe Rick had Melody Maker air mailed over, it came out every Thursday here in England, and I couldn't wait to get it from the newsagent, it was the best UK music paper, and we there were a few at the time.
Good evening everyone
It is now

I like the way Joe is listening just as much as his playing.
One of my best friends in H.S. went to Utica College. I hitched up there 3x . 1978 , 1979 and 80. I was FORCED to Drink Gennessee Cream Ale. 😆 We went to some weird wooded area in Herkimer to smoke weed and chug Gennessee. 😆 We also crashed some party at Colgate. I have ALWAYS been a Crest guy. 😆
This is Thursday morning and I’m listening to this interview again two really great guys I mean you guys are really good people and very interesting to listen to thank you

Rick’s songs and riffs were up there in the soundtrack of my childhood. And he’s way too humble about his lead skills. You can sing every one of his solos.
This interview is so cool

Rick's recall is amazing.
I seen Joe at the Coronado theater in Rockford probably 5 years ago ,that place is really nice, thanks Rick for helping fix it up! I was the guy in the back who just couldn’t sit down.
We’re all all right, EXCEPT for the two people who put thumbs down on this.
First time I saw Cheap Trick was when they opened for the Doobie Brothers at the Oakland Coliseum Arena in 1978. Rick came out with several guitars around his neck and started playing one at a time then taking them off. He had a sweet Flying V and when he was done with it he launched it like an arrow to the side of the stage. I stopped breathing until I saw a pair of hands of a roadie reach up and catch it. It was a great show with great music. To this day Cheap Trick is the band I have seen the most live and they never disappoint. Rock on Rick and CT..
Keeping my fingers crossed for a John Petrucci episode 🤞. Rick Nielsen should be a really good one too!!
Robin Zander still the best voice in rock.
"If you have to tell people you're cool, you're not." Best quote ever.
Well, that friends, was one of the best Nerdsville segments. Long time guitar hero. I hope he writes a book, or any member of Cheap Trick. Seem them number of times, and always walked away with a guitar pick. What a great band. Glad to see he is doing well in 2020.
Great interview again Joe! many thanks to both. Russ
Love Ricks laugh.
I have a sister who is a police officer. She plays softball in a cop league. She named the team (CHEEP TRICK ). Thought that was cool.
Thank's Joe , great interview.
PIECE is my favorite pizza in the USA... Yum.
rick classic dude hella history
Cheap Trick Live at Budakan, pretty much wore that album out when it was first released.
A music legen,, awesome, grew up listening to c. t .
Thats preety cool . Joe knows where we are(Rockford that is )
Haven’t worked out whether Joe gets interesting guests, gets the interesting stuff from the guests, or a bit of both. I think Joe interesting stuff out of almost anyone.
Listen to black and white and in color that's song writing at its best, the changes are well like the name a cheap trick, but it's a good trick
Fantastic interview this will be. Rick is a collector from way back, so he is in excellent company. Can you organise to interview Robben Ford?
Freak'in Great...
I saw Cheap Trick in Des Moines in 1977 , opening for Kiss . I grew up outside of Hartford and spent 2 semesters at Drake University. It was the Love Gun tour. The tour that made me think to myself...No more KISS. Anyhoo. Rick is just as surprisingly short as Jimmy Connors. Lol .He was hamming it up for photos outside their trailer and I was a newbie on the Drake U. Major Attractions Committee. We didn't do this concert, we did do Alice Cooper with BeBop Deluxe though. Before I came to BELIEVE., I wished I could marry Ginger Lynn. 😆
Fun interview, thanks.
So interesting Joe , keep safe be good !!!!✌😊❤
@JoeBonamassaTV So dedicated that I admire about you !!! You live and breathe music !!! Do take time to smell the roses !!! 😀✌🌹🌹❤
Cheap Trick hit their peak just a couple of years too soon - Rick was tailor made for the MTV generation, and I think they hit just before the video music boom.
Nice! You guys could pass for brothers lol 🙂👍
Awesome totally awesome... Alright Bonamassa
How are they not related??🤣
Ya'll should see Rick on American Pickers.
That was a great show!
Loved that. Not a fan of the music, but I just became a fan of the man.
Would like to see Robin Trower interview
I saw Cheap Trick with Kiss. I also saw Rush with Kiss.
i sold rick a skylark at one of his concerts! i wonder if its the one he gave to joe? pretty cool
Camon mister bonamassa
There's only one excuse to miss your child's birth, John Lennon wants you to help him write a song.
Weird question but where do I get a hat like the one Rick is wearing
Rick, see if Sir Paul will let me come over and play his 1960 Les Paul. We left handers are never going to get to play one of the 58-60s. I believe 4 were made. Joe? I believe I saw this on the forum years ago.
Rick is great but the heart of Cheap Trick is Bun.
Sat in dressing room with bun he is a class act
Get the Reverend on Joe!!
“She’s tight”....... indeed.........!
You should do Tim Pierce (if you haven’t already). 👍🎸
What are the 2 most famous things about Rockford IL?
Cheap Trick and Ginger Lynn.
We need George Lynch. Steve Morse. Pat Metheny. Geddy Lee
I can't help but feel like Rick would've been into pedals were he born in a later era.
give some of those guitars away to someone who will play them your closet wont be lonely
Good band they look like fun to me .I never paid any attention to them. I am their age too not sure what happened there. I love that name Cheap Trick thats got to be the best name for a band I have ever heard. I recognize their hits in a big way but thats it. Iam going to get me a Cheap Trick Tee shirt even if I have to have one made. I will try not to bitch as much about that tank I got for a gutiar after seeing that 5 neck rig Ricks got.
What is disappointing is that Jeff Beck, Clapton and Pete Townshend all quit Les Pauls and SGs. They all flipped to Strats permanently. I loathe that. I loathe that. That 59 reissue with the Bigsby on Last Kiss @ R.A.H. is the most awesome sounding guitar I have ever heard.
If you guys practice, this guitar "thing",could turn into a lucrative part time job .$$$$$$
