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

Good grief you are right. The sad thing is I saw both those tours and forgot Hello Hooray was the opener. I want to say the show I saw on the Raise the Dead Tour had Black Widow as the opener but I could be wrong. Yup, Hello Hooray went on to be replaced by The Black Widow at a later date. A good r...

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

Hello Hooray featured as an opener on both the Bare Bones / The Eyes Of Alice Cooper (2003 to 2004) and Raise The Dead (2012 to 2015) tours.

The rare live tracks I really liked were Wind Up Toy, Gutter Cat vs. The Jets (with the street fight) and Dragontown.

Re: The Marketing of Alice Cooper

Marketed well? Not at all. Sadly there's a lot of people that when they hear Alice Cooper, they don't really know who that is. I'd love that to change. Last time I remember seeing a lot of advertising for Alice (other than Road) was with Along Came A Spider, even though it was not toured, there was...

Re: Starring Alice Cooper - pictorial autobiography

Still does'nt look like a lot of us are buying this due to the cost and if we aren't then who would? I've seen quite a lot of people in the fan Facebook groups making purchases. Interesting, I've only seen a few I generally buy everything that gets released, but have settled for the 'cheap' one on ...

Do they charge your card straight away or when they ship it?
You can either pay upfront or a small deposit in 30 days followed by instalments on a monthly basis.

Re: Starring Alice Cooper - pictorial autobiography

I'm surprised that they've gone for 500 copies of the Super Deluxe Edition. Are there really that many people that would pay that kind of money for a book? There's not enough information on the description to tempt me to even consider that price (would be good to know what the "treasures and surpris...

Re: Starring Alice Cooper - pictorial autobiography

Sorry, didn’t make it clear that I was stating USD. I also don’t think there is actually a third, cheaper, copy as it was just one of the promotional images being a bit confusing. As said, I’ll reserve judgement until the contents of the books are full clear. Looking at some of their other books, pr...

Re: Starring Alice Cooper - pictorial autobiography

I just read the rumoured prices. The normal version about $200 and the deluxe version about $900!! Hope this isn't true. Prices for the ‘Main’ autographed versions appear to be £200 and £600, so about $250 and $750 respectively (before postage) but with a 10% pre-order discount on offer. That seems...

This may be what I ask Santa for Christmas depending on the price.
Not sure if it will be available in time for Christmas, but I believe there will be three versions available that cater for most price ranges. I expect the premium one to be massively expensive.

Re: "Road" - Reviews

Neil McCormick gives Road plenty of slaps in The Telegraph . Headline: Alice Cooper scrapes the barrel with macho clichés and misogyny. Ouch! As it's often paywalled, here's a taste: How listeners respond may depend on how they feel about a gnarly septuagenarian carrying on like a priapic adolescen...

Re: "Road" - Reviews

Nice review wind_up_toy. I agree with a lot of what you say. One thing: I have to admit to actually liking "The Song That Didn’t Rhyme." The punchline saves it for me. Thanks! I’m sure lots of people like that song, it just isn’t for me. And there lies the dilemma for Alice, such a wide and diverse...

Interesting review, which focuses on the positive points and neglects the negatives. I agree with the 3 out of 5 score though.
