Cool News
Cheap Trick posts their new TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN epic bit of ruleage!
Hey folks, Harry here... One of the myriad of problematic issues that Bay's first TRANSFORMERS had - was that there wasn't a song as awesomely badass as there was in cartoon movie. C'mon Michael - you've got Aerosmith on speed dial. SURELY you know somebody that can create a badass TRANSFORMERS rock tribute song?
Cue: TRANSFORMERS 2. A film that is bigger at every conceivable level from all reports - and from what I hear... it has stronger characters and action and story. But that's not important. What about our fucking song? I wasn't very excited about the line-up of bands on the TRANSFORMERS 2 album, until I saw that CHEAP TRICK had created a TRANSFORMERS Fallen anthem type of thing.
It leaked online briefly earlier this week, but by the time I saw a link, it was already removed. So today... TODAY! Cheap Trick posted the song on YOUTUBE themselves and here you go... is it worthy of our Giant Fucking Robots? I think this fucking Cheap Trick song could get a geek laid, what about you?

I'll watch your transformers 2, but only because i pretend to hate you

Still is my favorite subject heading... no, I don't think Cheap Trick is a plant.
I just wanted to post that subject heading again. -
WHAT IS THIS THE FRIGGIN 80S!?
I guess it is Transformers....
OPTIMUS IS My FATHER -
which isn't a bad thing entirely
-
And that, by the way, sounds like deep fried ass. What about the cool version that floated around back when the first movie came out? According to Youtube it's by a group called "The Deceptibots" and sounds very Linkin Park-y. Personally, I like it, but then I've been accused by others here of being ignorant and having no taste.
-
back in 1986.
-
Since I watched those episodes of Cheers last night.
-
I'm ready to be wowed by the movie, but this song is the only part of the hype leading up to its release that has really interested me until now. It's weird, I know, but there's a bit of an ELO vibe to it. It reminds me of the soundtrack to that legendary Daicon IV film -- http://preview.tinyurl.com/5j7dbw
-
Do you really think that 'rock' radio stations will play this? They love Cheap Trick, but that "robots in disguise" stuff is the ghey.
-
Transcheesy, cheesy, cheesy, cheese! Quick, put more fast edits in there...no one will notice how shitty this movie really is.

This song is starting to make me think the haters are right

Air France Flight 447 AKA DISINTEGRATOR
-
These guys from Rockford still have it. This IS rock and roll. Fuck the movie - I just like the song. And Michael Bay - you suck ass.
-
...and anything off the first soundtrack. Nowhere near good ol' White Lion, but still pretty nifty.
-
Truly, truly cringeworthy & I mean that in the sense of cringing for the people involved for having such a low humiliation threshold.
& who buys these albums anyway? Do people really sit at home singing along to a song about Transformers or Men in Black?
Not to mention that the other bands on the album are the kind of shit my Dad plays in the car. He used to like Hendrix, Neil Young, Black Sabbath & stuff. Then he got old & that awful MOR wankery found its way into his collection.
All together now.. T.U.R.T.L.E POWER! -
Remember last year when people downloaded that shitty song from Cloverfield? Same effect, asshole.

Vanilla Ice was the king of this shit: Lyrics, fill in the gap -- Drop that bass and get the NINJA RAP

Cause in this life there's only one winner -- You better aim good so you can hit the center
In it to win it, with a team of four -- Ninja Turtles that you gotta adore it's the: Ninja, Ninja, RAP! Ninja, Ninja, RAP!

In a cheese 80s sort of way. I don't care what anybody says (read: nerd misanthropes) Transformers 1 was as good as it could've been. If you cut the fat-characters (computer hackers, army guys), you'd actually have a film with the friendship heart of ET and the action of...well a Michael Bay flick. Haters or whatever, don't give a shit, just wanna see the flick.
-
Cut him some slack, jeez.
-
The Dream Surrender Transformer Police...great for cranky old rocker guys and their kids who love the Ramones, Cheap Trick, etc. already...
-
I did download the song from the first Transformers movie. It's not bad.
-
Wouldn't want you to be lockes2brokenlegs now would we;-)?
Joking aside, I can't believe anyone would seriously buy this shit. It literally made me blush for them. -
That's the song that allegedly allowed Harry to lose his virginity.

AVATAR.FUCKING YOUR EYEBALLS IN 2009.nothing else fucking matters

was fucking awesome 80's style. The Darkness should re-do the original Transformers theme. Or 'The Touch'... Or some awesome new rockin' falsetto tight pants song for for the film.

that allowed Harry to get deflowered, not "Oh Honey Honey." My blunder.

That god awful Jabba's Palace track from the special edition of Jedi is close enough.
-
...a geek laid, what about you?"
I don't think I could get a geek laid. nor that I would want to.
as for song... dumb intro, repetitive, goes on for far too long.
so I guess it'll go perfectly with the movie.
also, since no one here is screaming that his eyes are fucked already, I'll take it that avatar teaser on youtube is fake? -
That was complete shit. Seriously? Cheap Trick? I enjoy their music from 35 FUCKING YEARS AGO! If you're getting laid because of this song, you're standards are fucked.

Nickleback? I was going to see this movie, but not now. What a terrible soundtrack. There wasn't one fucking band on that soundtrack that doesn't make ears bleed. If you like any of those bands, you have terrible taste in music.

You're right, I do wish that was a rick roll. Christ, that guy really needs to get a clue. Its actually kind of sad to watch something like that. Ya had one song on a cartoon 23 years ago. Time to give it a rest.

Shit. Lapti Nek? WTF!!
-
He must have taken the day off from his job selling pens.

Thanks, that's the funniest shit I've read all day.

IMO Cheap Trick are the greastest pop/rock band of all time.

i remember the best part of "up the creek" was the trick theme song

New groups with 80s sound - The Bravery and StarPilots
by jackrabbitslim
Bravery clearly listened to their father's New Order collection way too many times. As for Star Pilots, that song "In the Heat of the Night" could not be more 80s if it had been on the 'Beverly Hills Cop' soundtrack. And its video is a very silly Top Gun spoof. LadyHawke's "Back of the Van" was a song Cliff Richard could have done circa 1982. And, oh yeah, Ida Maria's "I like you so much better when you're naked" feels very 80's girly bar band with the most endearingly silly female "Whoooooo!" I think I've ever heard.
-
I now remember that AICN has the most
pissy bitch talk backs on the internet. Are any of you ever happy?
Sad... -
Please Cheap Trick apologists - defend that sugar-dripping load of "coulda-been-and-probably-was-penned-by-Diane-Warren" cloyingly maudlin poop "The Flame". I dares ya, i double-dog dares ya.
-
uh, they wrote an anthem for an entire gen with surrender, and tons of other power pop hits so they did a few cheesy ones...so what?
-
I swore that was going to be Celine Dion singing that AC/DC song.
-
And I'm not sure that I'd say Cheap Trick was the soundtrack of the late 1970's early 80s the way Foreigner or AC/DC were but ... to each their own. It occurs to me that, if it hadn't been parodied in Boogie Nights, no one on God's green earth would be talking about "that song from the Transformers movie". You know this to be true...
-
America's greatest melodic rock band ever. If you don't have the Essential Cheap Trick album as a starting point then go get it. Rick Nielsen is America's Jiohn Lennon.
-
First the damned Stan Bush shite cover of THE TOUCH, now this. That 80's Transformers soundtrack is, in hindsight, the best damn sci-fi rockoperatic soundtrack EVER.
-
First off, Cheap Trick always seemed like ... I won't say 'ripoff' but VERY influenced by The Raspberries. Hope they give Eric Carmen love on a regular basis. As for 'best', I have no idea what best is but to so quickly shrug off groups like The Romantics or Badfinger or The Knack seems cheap. And besides, none of those bands ever did anything as cheesy as 'The Flame' *blows raspberry*
-
This sound 80's rock garbage which is funny because lion made theres back then but how do you make it with the "Autobot wage there battle to destroy the evil force of..the decepticons" this just sound like some leftover band from the 80's screaming Transformers with some lame Guitar solos. And Cheap trick is not the greatest American Band in History.
-
Listening to INSTRUMENTS OF DESTRUCTION as I type this. Effin' blissssssss...
-
One thing love or hate The Dark Knight was not Dumb and loud. So Why can't a movie about sentient alien Robots be just as intelligent?
-
The Transformers theme by MuteMath on the first movie's soundtrack was awesome. So so so underrated. Cheap Trick is nothing exciting. Do something different. I can't belief MuteMath's cover wasn't used in the movie. Tragic.
-
its going to be in the credits so who gives a fuck?
-
How can I get those 15 seconds of my life back?...
-
God...get yourself a pair of balls, would you please?
-
...was a kick ass track on first movie - when Barricade and Bumblebee had their wee car chase.
They should've made more of that one. -
it's very cool
-
And I barely spent a penny. Are they serious? Staind? The Fray? Sounds like whoever put this together said to themselves.. "what are the kids listening to today" and then just went with whatever the 36 tear old caterer suggested. You know, the one with the creepy ponytail and the Zakk Wylde shirt. Love me some Cheap Trick, but that lineup gotta go.
-
Fuck off!
-
It's like Bay sat around trying to figure out what geeks listen to while playing D&D, and like the total assclown he is decided on cheap trick. WTF....cheap trick is so fucking 70's. The reason that Stan Bush's 'The Touch' worked so well as the ultimate Transformers geek anthem was because it embodied the 80's. Transformers was a saturday morning cartoon, pre-teen, 80's thing. It was all about sitting in front of the tv for 3 hours in your pj's, eating cereal, watching My Pet Monster, GI Joe, He-man, Jem, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and some motherfucking Transformers. An era when everyone's older brother jammed Twisted Sister and fantasized about hot Mallory Keaton on Carol Seaver ass to ass on the hood of a Delorean. The 70's feel is so fucking wrong, and if Bay really wanted to appeal to the 70's geek crowd he would have called up Rush or Styx. I can only assume very little thought was put into this concept. At the Austin Premiere of Transformers I think The Touch played on repeat for about 6 hours in the parking lot of the Alamo Drafthouse. I have rarely seen so many cheesy smiles on so many chubby bearded faces. If Bay wanted to win over the hardcore Autobot fanatics he would have factored this in to better balance geek nostalgia and year zero coolness.
-
Jacks off in your eyes.
-
But thus cover sucked. Lions version from the cartoon movie can never be touched, it was a pretty bad ass hard rock theme.
-
So are so 80's. Who gave a fuck about them in the 70's?!
-
Our family wasn't actually living in Kansas at the time. According to my aunt, she weaseled her way onto their tour bus, and the Bunster got sloppy drunk one night after a show and gave her a good shellacing (actually, she had her eye on Robin Zander... so I guess it was a consolation prize of sorts).I liked it in the first Transformers when Bay managed to sneak in Player's "Baby Come Back"; now THERE'S a 70's song with some staying power. I thank God for having grown up well past Cheap Trick's all too brief heyday. They blew then and they blow now. Giving them a spot on the soundtrack of a movie this big is absurd.
-
Just like this film is going to be.
-
huh???
-
... can you be REALLY SURE to say whether the movie has proper characters and story (in which case it w be a first for Michael Bay)? Because I don't care about big robots fighting, or about fantastic special effects, I just care about characters and story, it all comes from that.
-
The Transformers cartoon may have been cheesy but the animated movie had the definitive version of the TF song.
I haven't heard a single version of the song I've liked apart from that one. Sure it's a bit glam rock but dammit it's catchy.
This Cheap Trick version sounds like ass...literally ass. It's horrible.
As for the movie itself I would like to echo Mr Gorilla's request. Please Harry, in your review, talk about the characters and story and look for plotholes, Bayisms and as Richard Donner said on Superman - verisimilitude.
The source material is no excuse for bad writing or direction and while it may be a movie about giant robots fighting each other, that doesn't mean it can't have substance though what I've seen so far hasn't filled me with much hope.
-
And the bridge is weak. Not sure why you like this. And Cheap Trick, come on, let's have Tool thrash around some real metal.
-
I'm thinking the quality of this audio file is definitely not playing in its favor. Other than that, I think it does what it is supposed to do: support the brand of an 80's cartoon show/22 minute toy commercial. What are you kids expecting, Stairway To Heaven? Give it a rest.
-
Cheap Trick STILL kicks ass. Saw em with Guded by Voices a few years back - incredible.

From shooting hoops to the Super Bowl.
We like sports, and we don't care who knows,
Football, football, football, tennis, hockey... golf.
The game is starting, everyone is here,
I got my snacks, my friends, and a beer.
Just two normal guys, hanging out having fun,
Right guy number two?
Yeah, guy number one.
E, to the S, to the P, to the N,
Its all I watch, cause I'm the man,
If my team loses, I'll be mean all night,
If you tell me to relax, we'll get into a fight.
Watching sports with girls is a pain,
they don't know the rules, there's no time to explain.
Single, double, triple, home run,
for the celebration, I'll shoot my gun. (gunshot)
I like my friend, he's a real guy's guy,
he's not a loud mouth like that cunt-hole, Steve.
We like sports, and we don't care who knows.
From Wimbledon, to the Astrodome.
We like sports, and we don't care who knows.
Football, football, football, tennis, hockey... golf.
Now when I say sports, you say nuts,
Sports, nuts
Sports, nuts
When I say cheating, you say sucks,
Cheating, sucks
Cheating, sucks
I drink whiskey, cause I like the taste,
You think it's bitter but I think it's great.
I also drink whiskey and we smoke cigars,
Don't believe me? Smell our cars.
We're real men, and we like sports,
if you say that we're not, then we'll see you in court.
I'm team captain, and I choose you,
I'm the other team captain and I choose you too.
We steal the ball and we're off to the races,
then scare the other team with our mad dog faces, like
What? What? What? What? What, What?
What? What? What? What? What, What?
We like sports, and we don't care who knows.
From the pre-game jokes, to the wrap-up show,
We like sports, and we don't care who knows.
Football, football, football, tennis, hockey... golf.
Throw me the baseball.
Now toss me the pigskin.
Now feed me the rock.
Now give me the rock. -
Just one more reason to vote, "no".
-
is that people still think there are mature storylines and genuine pathos to draw from when making a Transformers movie. These were lyrics from the cartoon theme song and this song doesn't even sound that dissimilar from what you here accompanying most anime - that most people would ardently defend as well. Hate on Bay if you want to but stop acting like he's defacing the Mona Lisa, you look like idiots.
-
I'm glad I don't listen to that hippie jam band bull shit.
-
...and are revelling in the cheeze.
And, yeah, I KNOW cheese is spelled with an "s" as you can observe with the fifth word of this sentence.
That IS PURE, AWESOME CHEEZE!!!!!!
-
cool song. it sounds like something from the 80's cartoon movie which virgins love so much. which is the reason why they will hate the song, because transfans are dumb.
-
can this movie get more sickening? Shame on you Cheap Trick. You're better than that. And shame on you Michael Bay.
-
Can't wait......Steve Jablonsky's score for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will be released
in stores on June 23rd. -
I know it would never get the green light but how about Three Inches of Blood doing this? That would constitute ruleage.
-
I haven't heard an anthem like that in 20 years. I just hope it doesn't make the film until the end credits...
-
i may never get that tune out of my head without the aid of a few red hot fireplace pokers.
-
It wasn't White Lion ya dolt, it was just Lion...2 different bands, 2 different animals (no pun intended) Next time don't open your mouth until you have your facts strqaight.
-
you couldnt pack more suck into a soundtrack if you tried. my God that is awful.
-
If they were going to go for cheese, why not just use the original?
-
Gah - well, looks like I can save my $$ for the "official soundtrack". BARF! I'll pick it up & keep it wrapped til AFTER I see the movie (and thus how many of those songs actually make it this time into the movie). And DEFINITELY getting my copy of the score.And you're so right, VadakinX - Lion's TF song was a bit cheesy. But IMO no more or worse glam-rock than this POS. At least I didn't have to put up the rape that Stan did to "the Touch" when I was at BotCon last month.
-
Dude,no joke, the new version of THE TOUCH is way better than this shit. Even with the fucked ass Linkin Park wannabe rap bit. This shit however...I'm waiting to hear "Flash!....ahhhh ahhhh!" If you want a good modernized Transformers theme, get Mutemath's theme or better yet, find the one by Blacklab. This is excrement. Cheap Trick can suck my Fallen balls!

Imagine in your mind a posh country club
The stuffy old money where the poor get snubbed
The spread is bland sauerkraut and boiled goose
There's no way these people will ever cut loose
But then I walk in the room, hold my boombox high
And what happened next, will blow your mind
Everything got outta control
The music was so entrancing
Everyone got out on the floor
It was a bunch of old white people dancing
Now picture if you will a bunch of business men
Stuffed in the boardroom like pigs in a pen
The ties around their necks are like a hangman's noose
In the middle of the table there's a boiled goose
The old people smell makes you want to puke in the sink
These dudes will never dance, yeah that's what you think
I stride in the room all young and hip
Hold up my boombox and say listen to this
Then everyone started to move
People rejoiced instead of financing
Your preconceived notions were shattered
By these super old white people dancing
The Big Apple, where people never dance
Spirits go down while profits expand
The cops or the dealers, who's got the juice
The street benders peddling their boiled goose
So many types of people will never get along
Till I bust out my boombox and play this song
The music washed away all the hate
And society started advancing
Every demographic was represented
It was a rainbow coalition of dancing
Whoa !
Everyone was wearing fingerless gloves
Whoaaaaaoaaaaaoh !
I saw a Spanish guy doing the Bartman
Transport now to an old folks home
Where the elderly are tossed on their brittle bones
The orderlies are stealing, there's no excuse
Everyday for lunch they eat boiled goose
So I grabbed my boombox and hit the turbo base
And what happened next was a total disgrace
Everybody started having sex
The music was way too powerful
A bunch of old people fucking like rabbits
It was disgusting to say the least
Oh!
A boombox can change the world
You gotta know your limits with a boombox
This was a cautionary tale
A boombox is not a toy
-
in the coffin of this turd for me. I wasn't exactly excited about it, but some decent reviews would've probably put me in an IMAX seat for this. Not anymore. With that lineup of fucking awful bands, I will never pay money to see it, not even if Megan Fox got sodomized by robot dildos for the entire second act. Fuck this movie.
-
THAT was a fucking anthem for days!!! For some weird shit, Bun E Carlos is now playing with the singer of Hanson and the guitarist from theSmashing Pumpkins in a band called Tinted Windows. I'm surprised they're not on this turd fest of a soundtrack.
-
That's not a ringing endorsement. Neither is 'giant fucking robots.'
-
Bay...you sir, are an assclown.
-
I'd bet your longstanding virginity that most of you will be going to see this, regardless of all the biting, angry, hateful, venomous, and unfounded criticism.
-
...that played at the very end was cooler than this in my opinion.
-
... Michael Bay pulls them out of the despairing hell of plying county fairs all over the Midwest and Deep South. Seriously, saw them open for Aerosmith a few years back and they had to play with their sound system and equipment uncomfortably shoved in front of Aerosmith's setup. Also, Aerosmith had a huge white sheet over the front of their set and Bun E. Carlos' drum kit lied directly under it. During Cheap Trick's entire set, Carlos's face was hidden by flapping sheet. Kind of sad and pathetic, that.
-
Also, didn't they do the theme for "Up the Creek"?
-
y'know those guitars that're like, double guitars?
-
Say that the cartoon had substance and character depth? Are you fucking kidding me? It was nothing but a 30 minute commercial for the toy line. I loved it, but in the end it was just a long fucking commerical.
One TB here stated they didn't care about the robots or special effects, as long as it had good characters and depth, go fucking watch Doubt or read Othello of that's the case. -
Jun 09, 2009 2:10:33 PM CDT
With Megan Fox in this mess..ya know what Band this needs?
by conspiracy
Nashville Pussy! The Ultimate white trash/trailer park/red neck, tattoos, meth and fist fucking band on the planet. Perfect for anything Ms. Fox is associated with.
-
Cheap Trick blows, but not as much as this song!!!!!!!
-
I HATE when giant fucking robots come from the sky below. It ruins my day.
-
If anybody ever had a doubt that this movie was marketed to people without taste, this is the missing fucking link. Or are we still going to argue that this is for the kiddies? Fucking Cheap Trick? BTW, did anybody think that when they premiered the last trailer in all those theaters that they were pulling a Star Trek and screening the movie? Suckered into watching that piece of shit again and i really have to say that the people who say that the action was well-shot and easy to follow are full of shit. Even on the big screen, there is nowhere for your eyes to go where there isnt a jumble of metal. Such as in the freeway scene with Optimus and Devastator brawling. Half of the actual fight is made up of quick cuts of that shit. Of course if you were to grab one of these fucking apologists and point this shit out, even frame-by-frame, and asked "can you tel me what the fuck is going on in this picture?", they would probably reply: "Optimus is fighting Devastator" and feel completely vindicated in their opinion. Of course we know what's happening in the context of the scene, but can you actually see what is happening in the fight? What's what? Is it an arm, a leg, some robo-taint, goddamnit, film 101, make sure the action is ALL IN FRAME SO WE CAN SEE WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING. Fuck the cartoon, make a decent movie about robots kicking the shit out of each other. A "hater" is one who does not judge a film on it's merits, but rather, forms an opinion based on pre-existing biases. I'm not the only one here that heard MB wasa making the TF movie and thought "Yeah, there we go, now that's a perfect match", only to see the movie and fucking hate it for verry good reasons, which have been listed over and over, only for others to simply cry "hater" as if they didnt watch the same piece of shit that the rest of us did. You know what, like it if you want, but dont kid yourselves about it. The first TF is nothing more than a shitty guilty-pleasure movie that could have been genuinely great if it was handled correctly.
And as for the money=quality debate: if you really believe that, then you=idiot, regardless of your opinion on the movie, you're a fucking idiot sucker if you think that. All kidding and BS aside, you can Like the movie if you want, hate the "haters" till your eyes roll back, but if you go your entire life actually believing that, then you might as well wear a sign around letting people know youre an easy target and just thin the herd already. This is life-view kind of shit, popularity does not equal good. And in case you need a glaringly obvious example of where this "logic" leads in the extreme, you could probably think back to a little thing called the holocaust and realize that it was pretty popular to hate Jews, or back to early in American history and remember that at one time it was very popular (and profitable) to imprison people whose skin was darker and force them to work for you until the day they die. Youre just straight-up retarded if you think that's a good argument for anything. Profit=profit, nothing more. -
that's why I panned the first. well, one of the reasons. I'm hearing good things on the new one in terms of story and the robots as characters and not FX excuses.
-
..and how do you destroy them?
-
I mean copyright issues? why not just repackage that song and have it as the theme...instead of this cheap imitation knock off crap.
-
....you got the poowwwweeeeerrrr, DERDERDUM DERDERDUM, DERDERDUM DERDERDUM, DERDERDERM DERDERDUM, YEAH!!!
-
you sir "are worthy" your in the club. The only thing is most of the people who actually like that crap do not have the mental capacity to understand your post.
-
Cheap trick is by far the best song out of both movies.....but Micheal bay needs to watch the animated movie see how kick ass ever song was....come on the "touch" bad ass...ALSO he needs to have the original MEGATRON VOICE,.
-
Even Cheap Trick know it's not worth the effort to write a completely NEW song for this crap.

Where are the friggin' reviews?

It's more than you bargained for!

Which was pretty cool actually and I still listen to it occasionally. Seriously though this is not the right demographic for this flick. Flaming Lips' "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" would make more sense.

Dont let this show up anywhere in the film. Aside from this...I still can't figure out why people actually think the original cartoon movie's song was anywhere near cool...I get that it was a big part of some people's childhoods...but it was a dumb fucking song...and so is this.
