Rick Nielsen Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
For the group’s first few records, Nielsen composed the large part of the content himself. He’s recognized for having many custom made guitars from Hamer Guitars, including his well-known five-neck guitar. Before Cheap Trick, he was in several groups, including Nazz (replacing Todd Rundgren on guitar), Grim Reapers, and Fuse. The latter recorded a one off debut album released on Epic Records which sold badly. Following the record did not get any interest, the group moved to Philadelphia as well as the group changed their name to Sick Man Of Europe. In 1974, Hogan left the group and lead singer Robin Zander joined after his contract having a Wisconsin resort was finished. The group subsequently was renamed Cheap Trick. The appearance of Nielsen on stage was determined by Huntz Hall of The Bowery Boys; Nielsen wears a turned upwards old style ball cap, Nielsen’s face resembles Huntz Hall, and some of Nielsen’s onstage antics are compared to Hall at the same time. Nielsen’s use of the monochrome checkerboard motif on his clothes was in line with all the use in the rest of pop culture, including Checkerboard Vans sneakers, that feature in the 1982 film Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The singularity Rick brings to each concert is his playing another guitar for each and every tune. One tune that’s pretty much played at each occasion is Dream Police. Through the section of the song where he sings his solo he also throws out to the bunch hundreds of his guitar picks. Visitors will soon have the ability to view an assortment of Rick’s guitars, private things, stage clothes and Cheap Trick memorabilia. The display is now open to the general public.

1 | I'm a really normal guy. You know our song, the one that goes, 'It wasn't easy, it was hard as hell ... Never worked so hard, had so much pain.' That's really what Cheap Trick is all about: Work hard, keep trying. |
