Led Zep Gurl Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Sounds pretty good. I used to really love Cheap Trick. I remember seeing them in concert. Can't remember the year though, I think it was in the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pagemeister Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/cheap-...003977727.story Cheap Trick Preps 'The Latest' May 28, 2009 06:58 PM ET Gary Graff, Detroit Cheap Trick is stepping outside of the label world to release its next studio album, "The Latest," itself. The veteran rock group will start taking pre-orders for the 13-track set, which it recorded during the past year mostly in Los Angeles with producer Julian Raymond, on Friday via its official web site, www.cheaptrick.com, and at Amazon.com. Those who pre-order will receive "The Latest" on June 23, the day Cheap Trick starts it summer tour with Def Leppard and Poison in Camden, N.J. Amazon will have exclusive rights for one month, and the album will also be available in limited LP and 8-track editions. Dave Frey of Red Light Management tells Billboard.com that via Amazon and other database information, anyone who's purchased Cheap Trick music, merchandise or concert tickets in the recent past will be notified about the album. Those buying tickets for the tour will also be able to purchase "The Latest" at a slight discount. "We just want to sell it over time and not have it be all about making a big impact in the first few weeks," Frey says. "We've got a lot going on with online marketing direct to people who have bought Cheap Trick things. We want to try to do as much direct to consumer activity as possible and do everything we can to remove anything that's in the way of the band reaching the fans directly." "The Latest" is certainly an album likely to curry favor with the Cheap Trick faithful, filled with anthemic power pop tunes such as "Miss Tomorrow," "California Girl," "Alive" and a cover of Slade's "When the Lights Are Out," Beatlesque songs like "Miracle," "Everybody Knows" and "Times of Our Lives," and the power ballads "These Days," "Closer..." and "Smile." "We wanted to make a record that sounded like 2009, get something that sounds like us this year," drummer Bun E. Carlos explains. Guitarist Rick Nielsen adds that, "I think it seems like we kinda grew up but didn't too old, 'cause musically there's a lot of different aspects to it. When you hear something like ('Sick Man of Europe'), you think, 'This can't be the same guys.' It sounds too energized for what people expect from somebody who's been around as long as we have...But musically I think it sounds like we grew up a bit." Besides "The Latest," Cheap Trick has also recorded a version of the "Transformers" theme for the "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" soundtrack, which also comes out June 23.

Jahfin Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Amazon will have exclusive rights for one month, and the album will also be available in limited LP and 8-track editions. While I think it's very cool that Cheap Trick are doing this I do find $30 a bit steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Cheap Trick is opening for Aerosmith's Hollywood Bowl show this coming Monday, Aug. 6. According to some photos I've seen, there's been some pretty cool jams at the end of Cheap Trick's sets involving Brad Whitford from Aerosmith.

I was actually familiarized with Aerosmith before Zep, and Cheap Trick was one of the few groups I could tolerate when MTV came out - I think it's terrific they be combined for shows and interact on stage!
