The Linear Canvas

Cheap Trick really kicked butt live as evidenced by the fact that no one ever really paid that much attention to them until their Cheap Trick at Budokan (1979) live album was released. Then it became a little too much about songs  like I Want You To Want Me and other power pop rock tunes in their repertoire, for me at least. I’m glad they got the attention, because they deserved it. They are all great hard rock musicians and even rockers have mortgages and car payments.

I saw them live once and guitarist Rick Nielsen must have tossed six guitars over the backdrop after he was done playing them. I am sure someone was catching them, hopefully. He also had a custom five neck guitar that was very cool. He didn’t throw that one, at least not that day.
