Guest swan Report post Posted March 4, 2003 I remember there being a huge GbV fan here, or am I wrong? I have tickets seeing them open for hometown boys Cheap Trick. Should be a good night of music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted March 4, 2003 I'm just amused that, in this day and age, people are still opening for Cheap Trick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest swan Report post Posted March 4, 2003 I'm just amused that, in this day and age, people are still opening for Cheap Trick. Are you kidding? They still sell records and play to packed houses. I doubt GbV would of sold out the 1600 seats as a headliner, but thats just me. And for the record this will be the 5th time I have seen them. Last time was at Lalapalooza in 1996.

Guest myburninghammer Report post Posted March 4, 2003 man, Cheap Trick/GBV is such an awesome, awesome bill... And Swan, i'm a fan; I faded between Mag Earwhig and Isolation Drills, but the new record is really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LooseCannon Report post Posted March 4, 2003 Awesome. I wish I was seeing GbV play. I've seen them play 8 or 9 times, many of those times on their home turf in Dayton, OH. And it's usually a pretty awesome show. They tend to close their sets with a pretty kick ass cover of "Baba O'Reilly." Seeing them open for someone would have to be a disappointment from my point of view though, as I've only ever seen them headline. I don't know all that much about Cheap Trick, but I don't think those two sound right together on the same bill. Anyway have fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it was their best albums since Alien Lanes, but maybe that's just me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This isn't the first time GBV toured with Cheap Trick, I believe. And, if you consider the latter band's early sound, touring with Pollard and Co. isn't all that crazy a notion.

Guest LooseCannon Report post Posted March 4, 2003 Were Cheap Trick big in the 70's or 80's? I have very vague classic rock connotations to the name, but I can't really remember who they are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Eyeball Kid Report post Posted March 4, 2003 They did "I Want You to Want Me." Big Black covered "He's a Whore." They had a really bad power ballad in the late 80s called "The Flame." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LooseCannon Report post Posted March 4, 2003 "He's a Whore" is a Cheap Trick song? wow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They hit it big in the late 70's with "Dream Police", "Surrender:, and "I Want YOu To Want Me" and their 70's live album "Live at Budokan". They again hit it big w/ "Lap of Luxury" album which had the big hit ballad "The Flame". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
