Official Cheap Trick posts ** NEW *** song on Youtube

Cheap Trick - Sick Man Of Europe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApBANSCr6iw

This song is pretty heavy. Maybe the heaviest they've done in their 35+ year career

I love that these dudes are having a late inning Dylan-like creative and inspirational resurgence.

God bless Cheap Trick. They are nothing short of brilliant.

I'm in.

My Cheap Trick fandom is as indelible and lifelong as my devotion to the Red Sox - they were ALWAYS a terrific live band, even during the years of Rick's drug use decimating his writing abilities.

This is very encouraging.

Wow - yeah, hands down the best single I've heard from them in years and years! Amazing that they are putting out material this great, still. That bass line definitely elevates the song to another level!

Blasphemy that they're opening for Poison on tour AND still aren't in the rock n roll hall of fame.

correct, tcr..
"Nielsen, Petersson, Carlos and Wisconsin native Zander all grew up in Rockford, coming of Midwest age just as the British Invasion hit. Inspired by English rock, they did what a lot of other young music fans did, picking up instruments and forming bands. In between research and recreation trips of various sorts to Europe and elsewhere, Petersson and Nielsen made their long-playing debuts on a 1969 album by Fuse, and subsequently launched Sick Man of Europe with Carlos and Robert "Stewkey" Antoni, the former singer of Nazz.

Upon Zander's induction to the band in 1974, Sick Man of Europe became Cheap Trick, and Midwest clubs were soon rocking to "The Ballad of Richard Speck," "ELO Kiddies" and "He's a Whore." With a vivid image, a great singer and more instruments than a music store, Cheap Trick brought arena-scaled flamboyance to the unsigned band circuit, and became the area's biggest local attraction. "
