Entre_Perpetuo Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 A band who's tricks are simply in the name vs. an artist who's secretly not just a comedian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Carmina Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Cheap Trick was possibly one of the loudest concerts I've ever attended (Shrine Mosque '89), and while I -- like every right-thinking music fan -- enjoy Live at Budokan, I'm giving the nod here to Weird Al whose satire is often great.

RushFanForever Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Just for the heck of it, I'm sharing this clip with Weird Al Yankovic performing 'Squeeze Box' by The Who. The intro banter is hilarious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi23MnjNNkM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 You are fuckking crazy my young brother and I love you. In a good friend way. It's funny. I have tried for decades to love Cheap Trick. They have two good records. I can't stand their fat cigarette cigarette smoking drummer Bun E. Carlos? Junk drummer. Some of you on here make fun of Herman Rarebell. LOL!! Bun E. Is shite. So I have tried Cheap Trick a Heap O Shit. JMO "Surrender" is great. "Live At Budokan" is great. Meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyta Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Have seen Weird Al in concert twice (went with hubby, he loves him) and have to say he is quite the musician. Made me laugh my head off too. My favorite song is Dog eat Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoopid Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Weird Al Yankovic performed a cover of Cheap Trick's song 'Hello There' a couple of years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXjsqq8msNI He's masterful at vocal delivery. He understands the subtleties of when exactly to start a line and how to phrase the words, hold notes, etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Easy. Cheap Trick is a pretty good rock band, but Weird Al is a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
