Re: Australian Tour 2024

‘No refunds’: Fury over ‘botched’ Pandemonium Rocks music festival I can`t see how you do claim on their website.. The Ticketing company (Oztix) email all buyers and offer them the choice. Not sure what compensation they provide for VIP ticketholders, these options are all for GA ticket buyers.

Re: Australian Tour 2024

Honestly, as Alice fans we get out of this thing pretty well all things considered. It will be beyond disappointing for him to come all the way out here and not play one full show - but at least he's still on the way. And thankfully Alice fans have kept their seats in Newcastle. If I lost that fron...

Re: Australian Tour 2024

No doubt we lose out on a full set in Newcastle given all the bands are playing. And no doubt I now lose my front row seat... Pandemonium. Indeed. So unfortunately you are bang on the money. Alice, although headlining, is playing a shortened set now. Wolfmother and The Psychedelic Furs have been sh...

I'm pretty sure Newcastle is only Alice and Blondie, unless I'm completely misreading it. It sounds like Blondies sideshow the previous night is complet...

Re: Australian Tour 2024

So after weeks of uncertainty, this looks to be going ahead with half of the acts being removed (Deep Purple among them) but Alice remains as headliner.
The Newcastle sideshow remains with Blondie replacing Deep Purple.

Re: Australian Tour 2024

The promoter has a long history of this kind of thing happening. Including cancelled festivals in the past where tickets were not refunded. It's beyond insane that Alice Cooper's people went with this guy without doing the research on what the promoter has delivered in the past. And if they did the...

Re: Australian Tour 2024

Unfortunately it looks like the whole festival is cancelled. Tickets are still being sold and the promoters office have been evasive, but local news stations are reporting its been canned.

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 ...
