Cheap Trick "Hello There"

Over The Edge!

Sound check song

Every cover band I've ever played in,I have suggested this as our opener and unfortunately have always been shot down.. Drummers never get much say in music picks...

The epitome of the 70s. I loved every moment of it, it was just too fast

Sorry 2-6

More specifically, seconds 2-5

What's the first 8 seconds of the song like, another hard rock song?

Just saw "Over the Edge" for the first time tonight..N it brought me here, cause iam ready to rock 🤘

This song illustrates their DIY early punk work

2024 and this song still kicks ass!

Oh heel yah🎉

Bought this album in 1977 at Tower Records in San Francisco. At that time i had a good Techniecs turntable and a 100 watt Kenwood receiver with (2)15 inch JBL speakers and (2) Bose sub woofers. That album ROCKED. About 2 months later my twin brother took me to see KISS at the Cow Palace and the opening act was Cheap Trick!!!!!! 👍

HBO in the early '80s started running a little ol' movie called "Over the Edge" and all of this incredible music from Cheap Trick was on it. It was the first exposure to the band by the many since the radio stations in my area never played Cheap Trick. Not long after the movie aired on cable, I stumbled into a copy of the soundtrack . . . for a dollar . . . at the local used record store's cut out bin. That's where I got my first taste of Van Halen: the movie and that soundtrack.

Many, many years later: a girlfriend of mine found a copy of the "Over the Edge" novelization on eBay and gave it to me for my birthday.

She said she knew of Cheap Trick before the movie: she had a crush on this teen actor who starred in the short-lived "Bad News Bears" television series. He did an interview in one of those teen mags at the time and he mentioned Cheap Trick was his favorite band (calling out their second album, "In Color"). So she went to the records store and bought it . . . then discovered their was another album (!): their self-titled debut. She bought 'em both.

Anyway, the novelization has this GREAT scene (which I guess was cut from the script) of Carl and Richie riding their bikes down the slope of the New Granada community club house into the pool . . . which oddly enough, we did, for real, as well as tying back the gate to the pool and setting up a ramp on the pool's edge . . . making jumps into the water (we tied empty, plastic milk carton's on the bikes to keep them afloat). And we did this BEFORE the movie came out.

Oh, and we played "Rollerball" on bikes in our cul-de-sac, pulling other kids on skates and skateboards while we tossed a softball back and forth (because a football didn't work as well). Yeah, Carl and Richie had nothin' on us hoodlums.

This is the tune they opened their concerts in the late 70s!!!!

Over the Edge 1979

The two pretty rockers on the cover while the geeks behind the scenes drive the sound

This song was in that movie Over The Edge with a young Matt Dillon in 1979

The WALKING DEAD Book

am i the only one that looks up the music on that 70s show knowing most of the music is from actual songs from the 70s. like when kitty gets in the bathtub and turns on judas priest that was actually a judas priest song but i didnt believe until i looked it up

Los Angeles Forum 1977...opening act for Kiss...they blew Kiss off the stage.

One of the best Punk/Pop songs ever written.

Wonder if Cancel culture is gonna force them to change the lyrics??

Anyone remember this in the beginning of 1979's 'Over the Edge?'

Rock band 2
