Chouette, j'avais rejeté ce groupe lorsque je les avait decouvert , je trouvais ça trop pop et trop grosse rigolade a voir rick nielsen faire le clown, et j'ai retenté l'année derniere de leur redonner une chance et BINGO, j'ai adoré
alors vivement ce nouvel album

Et apparemment il n'y en aura pas d'autres...

CHEAP TRICK drummer Bun E. Carlos spoke with Gus Bernadicou from Punkglobe.com recently about a number of topics including his CANDY GOLDE project (featuring members of WILCO and ELEVENTH DREAM DAY) who released their self-titled debut EP in March. A few excerpts from the chat follow:

Punk Globe: What do you think of Cheap Trick performing Dream Police live.
Bun E. Carlos: "I think it’s kinda a snooze to me, there ya go. I wasn’t out there for that, so I really have no opinion that."

Punk Globe: Do you see yourself on the next Cheap Trick record?
Bun E. Carlos: "I don’t see a next Cheap Trick record, really. I haven’t heard any new songs from the songwriters in ten years."

Punk Globe: Is that good or bad?
Bun E. Carlos: "Makes no never mind to me! I’m still in the band, but I don’t tour, I don’t hear from them. I prefer to be out on the road preforming with them. Maybe we’ll kiss and make up. They are out there thing, I like really recording new songs. I don’t think that’s going to happen with those guys."

Punk Globe: Do you think that’s why The Latest has so much recycled material on it?

Bun E. Carlos: "No one had many newer songs, so. . .Every album we do we get the tapes out and find out what we got, if we have enough for a record. For The Latest Julian would go, “I like these” and stuff like that. We made that record the same we make every record, but there weren’t very brand new songs laid out on the table for the record though, basically parts."

C'est triste je trouve ... autant Rockford m'avait vraiment charmé , autant The Latest ma vraiment laissé de marbre, du pop rock sans saveur sans puissance à mon goût , quand même déçus si cela ce confirme , car ça à l'air mal baré pour un nouvel album, mais enfin dans le monde du "Rock" rien n'est jamais définitif .
