CHEAP TRICK - "Bun E. Carlos Is Not Currently The Touring Drummer"
March 20, 2010, 14 years ago
According to a statement from the legendary Illinois-based rockers, "Bun E. Carlos is not currently the touring drummer for CHEAP TRICK. Bun E. remains a band member. Everyone is healthy and Cheap Trick will continue to tour as planned."
According to Billboard, Cheap Trick are contemplating another run of full-album shows, similar to what the veteran band did during the late '90s.
During a public interview Wednesday at SXSW, frontman Robin Zander acknowledge that "we're thinking about doing it again, starting with 'Dream Police' and keep going." No time frame was put on the project, and guitarist Rick Nielsen noted that "it's hard work. You've got to learn the songs that those young guys play."
Nielsen did add, however, that Cheap Trick felt the late '90s shows - during which it played its first three studio albums and At Budokan during multi-night stands, resulting in the 1999 live album Music For Hangovers - set something of a trend.
"Since then we've seen a lot of other kind of acts trying to do all their records in order," Nielsen noted. "If you think about it, nobody did their albums in order... It was a hit, so we might do it again."
