Re: 2024

Melbourne venue is a genuine surprise, only 10 mins from my house. Not keen on festivals in general, as you need to get a good spot early and protect it for hours by the time Alice comes on. That said, this is a genuinely good line up. I've found in the past that often the hardcore fans of the band...

Not officially announced (yet) but it looks like an Australian tour with Deep Purple, Blondie and a bunch of others will likely be officially announced soon.

Re: Screaming Lord Sutch on Alice Cooper

I love Alice, but he needs to stop saying he was the first. Maybe "breakthrough" would be a better word. Lord Sutch was barely a blip on the radar, even at the height of his popularity. He largely relied on Hollywood films to do his legwork. The whole Alice thing evolved on a completely different l...

Re: Desmond Child Thoughts

I don't think there was any missed opportunity with Hey Stoopid. That ridiculous success of Trash was a perfect culmination of timing and commercial capitilisation that wasn't going to be reproduced in 1991 no matter who was producing or co-writing.
Hey Stoopid was a far better record regardless IMO.

Re: Starring Alice Cooper - pictorial autobiography

do these guys deliberately have stupid marketing? no mention i can see of what the "treasures" are, so people are just expected to pay and hope? Was going to say this. At those prices then you would expect full transparency, not vague terminology. Or do people wait until May to see that their treas...

Re: "Road" - Reviews

I heard this comment once from a teenager. " my grandma and grandpa are going to see some old guy at the casino". The old guy that were referring to was: Alice Cooper. Ahah... Well this is so far from the reality here in Europe, where AC audience is much younger and there are no casinos with showro...

Finally about the mysterious 30th album...why does everyone assume its the original band? As far as I know its been listed as a surprise...which of course we can speculate its them but has anyone actually said its the OG band???
Apparently Mike Bruce let it slip a while ago.

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

Solid album that I've had on rotation since release, and for me the best album top to bottom in quite a while. The lyrics on a couple tracks are puerile and silly on purpose, but it's tongue firmly in cheek, it's kind of the point and it's a little late in the game to be finding Alice Cooper lyrics ...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

And this here is a perfect example of the diversity of opinions. I thought Our Love Will Change The World was the best track on DS. It's so off the wall I can totally see why it wouldn't click with everyone though. It's my favorite on the CD as well. While an objective exploration of a song or albu...

Re: Detroit Stories #1 in Germany

How is it the best selling album of last week yet debuts in the 40's? Legitimate question. Do they tally streaming/YouTube figures and so forth which somehow factor in how they chart. Conversely does its number 1 in germany and number 3 in australia and number 4 in the UK simply meant they sold the ...

Check out Roxies new podcast with all the band members. Alice goes into a bit of detail about his experience with it at about the 14 minute mark.

Re: New single - 'Our Love Will Change The World'

I love it.
Fresh and interesting, Alice's new lyrics are a perfect fit on what was already a great track.
Agree with the post above me, this sounds like something Alice would have done in his black out years.
Big thumbs up from me.
