Tour: Cheap Trick Announces Australian Tour News Tour Annoucements by Hear2Zen Magazine - May 10, 2018May 10, 20180 Cheap Trick may be one of the most covered bands of all time. Since the 70s they’ve been blending elements of pop, punk and even metal in a way that is instantly catchy and recognisable. With timeless classics such as “I Want You to Want Me,” “Surrender,” and the late 80s lighter-waving favourite, “The Flame,” CHEAP TRICK are a musical institution.
Interview: Ryan Roxie Interviews New Music New Releases by Hear2Zen Magazine - April 5, 2018April 5, 20180 This album, is a long time in the making, because I have made a bunch of albums under the name “Roxie 77”, but I have never put out a solo album just under the name of Ryan Roxie. So, some of these guitar riffs, scan all the way back to the 90’s when I was playing with Slash, and in my early years with Alice Cooper, all the way up to a couple of months ago, with some of the new riffs and songs. Some of the song titles, I came up with years ago, but the lyrics, and the arrangements, well the final arrangements, came together in the last year and a half, that’s when I decided to make a solo record. So, you could say it’s been a very long time in the making. But to actually put it together, and make the final product, we did it rather quickly.
