It's supposed to be on the <I>Thumbsucker</I> soundtrack.

The complete bill: House of Lords, Joan Jett and the Tricksters. I rememebr enjoying the show ...and that's about it.<BR/><BR/>I saw them open for Stone Temple Pilots at Roberts Stadium in 1997 (I think) and the audience was also pretty inattentive, but to be fair, most of them came to see STP. Of course, we left after Cheap Trick finished.Vitamin Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02809659422003652240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11455404.post-1124475807274373052005-08-19T14:23:00.000-04:002005-08-19T14:23:00.000-04:00Love Cheap Trick — which by the way YOU turned me ...Love Cheap Trick — which by the way YOU turned me on to. I mean, I always liked a few of their "hits" okay back in the day but you are the one that got me hooked on their first album and "In Color." I've seen them several times too. The last time was last year when they opened for Aerosmith here in Evansville. I was reviewing the concert, so I didn't have to pay to see fat girls flashing their titties at Steven Tyler.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, Cheap Trick kicked ass but the audience totally didn't get it. Kind of sad.<BR/><BR/>Remember the time we saw them at Roberts Stadium with Joan Jett opening? That had to have been one of the loudest, shittiest concerts I've seen. It was like the band was pissed off or something. Zander just stood there with his sunglasses on most of the time and you couldn't even come close to making out the words because the sound was so loud.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
