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

Wind Up Toy is one of my faves and would love to see it live. Generally anything live off Trash/Hey Stoopid/RYFAY that he's done live recently seems to go down well. Hard rock albums with catchy lyrics. Hopefully Snakebite stays on the set. Bed of Nails/Hey Stoopid/Roses on White Lace/House of Fire/...

Re: UK Dates 2024

Local gig Birmingham for me always gives us absolute garbage seats on the pre-sale.
The two dates in London - possible recording over two shows?

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

1. I’m Alice - 6.5 The first single - has grown on me since it was first released but not going to be a regular listen for me. 2. Welcome To The Show - 8 The newer single and I have to say I enjoyed this the first time I listened to it. Simply has to be an opener on stage. 3. All Over The World - 6....

Re: "Road" - Reviews

My CD copy turned up today (thanks Amazon) and I've put my thoughts down on my website here: https://www.welcometomynightmare.co.uk/my-collection/road-era/ I'm no music expert though, so please be kind! Thanks for the review - not had the pleasure of having the CD appear early but having listened t...

Re: Covers

Just being honest here. The only time I have ever not enjoyed part of an Alice concert was when he was doing the "Wake the Dead" stuff where he played four covers in a row. To me that is Hollywood Vampires territory and when you have solo Alice doing covers and you have the Hollywood Vampires doing...

Re: Covers

I prefer Alice's covers to be discreet numbers. We've had an overload of them in recent years.

Re: Slow Growing Albums

I find the sooner you take to a song the faster it gets tired. I think the same can be said for albums. It's normally the albums you don't take to or songs that don't appeal that actually last the test of time. I also think there's a case for live shows to bring an album to life. Brutal Planet and D...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

I was kind of hoping for a rawer "live" sound with this album. I'm no musician and I have no idea how a song gets mixed. I don't know if all parts are recorded separately or recorded together. I assume it's some combination of the two. The reason I mention this is that on these songs and on Detroit...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

I will state what I have said multiple times. I love Alice's entire career and actually generally prefer his solo albums to the original band so I feel like I am somewhat objective when it comes to an album because I am not stuck on one era but it pains me to say this album is not working for me. D...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

@bigbradwolf There are times, when a songwriter hits a creative wall. When they repeat themselves, they found their groove and they stay there. Musically, lyrically. (it's happened with me, when I was doing my music thing, so you know, been there, battled with that, the blocks, the wall, etc) And y...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

That's a 3rd nope for me. Just blah, standard rock, with standard verse and chorus. Nothing special. My enthusiasm for this album has gone right in the toilet. Alice always had his standard rock songs like this Long way to go I'm eighteen Under my wheels No more mr. nice guy ....and many more I thi...

Just out of curiosity what is it you're wanting to hear? Metal? Folk?

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

"Welcome To The Show". This was the single I've been waiting for following two okay releases. Not an overly catchy chorus which is great for longevity but most importantly it feels fresh and original. The fact that the band get in on the credits here suggest this should be a straightforward one to p...

Looking forward to this latest single. The preview sounded one of the better ones for this track and will be interesting to hear the touring band.

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

You can't tell anything from 30 secs snippets but the whole concept of Road and the song titles suggest there's limitations on what you can write about...ultimately very uninspiring. Along Came a Spider was scrutinised but at least the whole idea of a serial killer is of an interesting nature - even...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

i dont think the alice cooper team/camp can pick a single if their life depended on it. I mean they had W2MN and they didnt pick what baby wants? that was a slam dunk hit. even my daughters love that song and they dont give a **** about rock music. Instead they release the lame bite your face off. ...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

White Line Frankenstein I can see why it'a being released as a single. Really like the intro/guitar riff that runs through the verses. Lyrically and musically the verses are solid efforts, but feel the pre-chorus and chorus are a little tedious. Definitely a track with the intention of being played ...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

I think that kills the unrealistic hope I had of any UK dates any point this year (unless there's a replacement for Nita again). Guess I'll be booting up the VPN in a little while for the song though. I suspect with Hollywood Vampires only just wrapping up, I'd suspect a tour next year would be the...

Youtube link for the new song - wasn't the first track released on a Wednesday (bizarrely), could it be released tomorrow?
