Michael Kelly

"The discovery and the idea of actually getting the 12-string bass, in particular the Waterstone TP12 model, happened while on the road with The Grip Weeds in 2005. We were doing a show in Nashville, and during the day we headed over to Gruhn’s Guitars. They had the TP12 in cherry hanging on the wall. The sales guy said 'We just got it in'. I pulled it down and just fell in love with the low end, the chime, everything."

Cheap Trick

How Cheap Trick put the Budokan on the map
By PHILIP BRASOR
Special to The Japan Times

The first pop group to ever play Nippon Budokan Hall in Tokyo was The Beatles in 1966, a concert that caused quite a scandal because of the auditoriums' semisacred status as Japan's premier martial-arts venue. Rightwingers protested the show but in the end the prerogatives of capitalism prevailed.
