(PC and Consoles): Try the codes on my latest Mandachord video. Using in the chat or PMing will get my attention faster. If you show up then you may have to be patient I spend a lot of time looking away from my screen figuring out songs and posting stuff. Stop by and say Hi, and I'll give you a code.īasically, if it's in the "evening" US time and you see me post a video or respond in this thread then that means I'm at Orcus.
(PC): If you're on PC MWF around 8-12pm US time, I'm usually somewhere in the Pluto relay making tunes.
There were several homages to The Beatles on this album. The band performed the songs "Baby Loves to Rock" and "Can't Stop It but I'm Gonna Try" on the January 17, 1981, episode of Saturday Night Live. We needed more time to think, to air out and encourage the creativity to write. After awhile, we'd gotten to the point where we were successful, but we were still on this schedule and still doing albums in two or three weeks. Petersson later told Billboard in 1984: "We were playing 300 nights a year and we'd record two albums a year on our time off. Right around the time of All Shook Up's release, bassist Tom Petersson announced that he was leaving the band. "I Love You Honey But I Hate Your Friends" contains a lyrical reference to "Daddy Should Have Stayed In High School", a song, released on the band's 1977 debut album. " Stop This Game" was the only single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, but "Just Got Back" and " World's Greatest Lover" continue to be fan favorites. With the assistance of producer George Martin and engineer Geoff Emerick, many of the songs have a dimension not found on any other Cheap Trick album.
However, at the time, Cheap Trick had severed ties with long-time producer Tom Werman and took the opportunity to take their sound in a different direction. Many of its songs were less radio friendly and more experimental, and the cover art, influenced by Magritte's Time Transfixed, led many to question what the band was trying to accomplish. All Shook Up was even quirkier than its predecessor, the platinum-selling Dream Police.
