Is Zander's kid still on skins for them? I know there was a bit of a dustup over creative control when Carlos could no longer go.
Cheap Trick is one of those bands with a catalog full of rockers that everyone digs. They've had a 50 year career. Whenever the most influential bands are mentioned, everyone shrugs and sort of goes, "Oh yeah. Cheap Trick. They were kinda cool too, I guess".
I'd hate to be Rick Nielsen's guitar tech! Usually, a touring guitarist will have 1 or 2 giant locker looking things (they sort of resemble closets on wheels) that contain like 10 guitars each. Since all of Rick's are custom made and cut, they all have radically different shapes. He's famous for them. Each would, of course, need its own custom built case to transport. That means unboxing like 20 different axes, each with different scales, frets, strings, and settings. Load in would take 8 hours by itself.
Still probably easier than setting up Terry Bozzio's "big kit". No idea how many pieces it is, but I understand it takes over 20 DW9000 pedals to trigger it.
