Re: Alice Songs That Went Over Well Live but Are Rarely Played

I thought Caffeine was great live. One of my favourites off W2MN.

Re: Alice UK presale 10am tomorrow

A friend got me pre- sale tickets for Glasgow which weren't brilliant. On Friday I got another 2 tickets much closer to the front. God I miss queuing for tickets, chatting to those around you, the excitement building as you get closer to the ticket booth. Damn you internet.

I would really like to hear pick up the bones. It was superb. Really theatrical and atmospheric.

Re: Alice Songs That Went Over Well Live but Are Rarely Played

Model citizen was superb live as was grim facts. The last temptation tour is the only one I have missed so I would love to hear sideshow. Would also love to hear public animal no. 9 again.

Re: The 'Secret' Next Album

The great thing, from what I have read, is that everyone has had an input in the writing. I was lucky to see the OGs in Glasgow where they played 5 songs at the encore. If, and it is a big IF, they tour the next album, then I would think it would be something similar, perhaps extended to seven or ei...

Candy rock magazine.

Alice is on the cover of Candy Rock magazine. As well as an interview with him, which is pretty generic, there are separate interviews with Steve Hunter, Kane Roberts and Nita Strauss.

Re: Best and Weakest releases by decade

70s best - killer. Hands down one of the greatest rock albums ever made. Worst - the Alice cooper show. How can the greatest live act produce something so tepid? 80s Best - Dada. Dark, sinister and complex. Worst - raise your fist and yell! The worst album cover in history only matched by the music....

I was in a restaurant just outside Glasgow and they were playing spotify when 'how you going to see me now ' came on. I nearly choked on my asparagus.

Re: "Road" - Reviews

Again, personally, I feel that Detroit stories is a far superior album. I am very disappointed in Road but from the forum response I seem to be in the minority. The album received almost universally excellent reviews in the press. But I think the poorer chart position is mainly down to distribution ...

Re: Road in the charts

Not sure what the point of that was. He’s never had a worldwide number one for weeks smash hit that became a multi million seller. Even the band never had that. What he has had is a 50+ year career ultimately underpinned by two tracks (School’s Out and Poison) which have indeed out-streamed everyth...

Re: Alice appearing on upcoming MC5 tribute album

Slade in flame was my first ever album (although I got Nazareth greatest hits the same day) and just last week I bought slayed and Slade alive. Brilliant band.

Re: "Road" - Reviews

Wow! So much negativity on here. "albums done on the cheap"'!! The last three albums have all been doubles. Gatefold sleeves, a multitude of coloured vinyl to choose from, added DVD and bluray options. Choice of added merchandise. Certainly not a cheap option. As to sales.. OK sales are down for roc...

Re: "Road" - Reviews

Alice has been in a band since 1965. He's toured through Beatlemania, Elvis' comeback, the flower generation, Led Zeppelin, Kiss-mania, disco, punk, the NWOBHM, new wave, grunge and up to the present where rock is 99% dead. He has seen rock n roll from its birth to its death. He's hung out with Fra...

Re: "Road" - Reviews

I got to say that’s why I hate most record reviews. That guy took about 4 very long paragraphs before he even mentioned the album. He thinks it’s sub par, thats fine but it was like reading a high schooler book report where he had to use at least 2,000 words. Short on substance and long on wind. I ...

Re: Alice Songs You Like More Than Most Other Fans Do

The one that comes to mind is 'holy waters'. I liked it straight away. I enjoy most of those 'different ' songs that Alice throws in. Crazy little child is another that seems to get flak that I think is a fantastic song. As an album Detroit Stories is getting abuse but I think it's really strong. Gr...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

I was waiting for the vinyl to arrive before giving my opinion. Amazon failed to deliver so I ended up cancelling and going to HMV instead. I know you are holding your breath waiting for my critique so here goes. The main failings for me is that the album is lacking diversity. 'I'm Alice ' is a mid ...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

Amazon said yesterday that it would be here by midnight today. This morning they said that it would be here by 8pm. Now they are saying it hasn't been dispatched yet and will be here before October 17th.
