Re: W2MN .. REVIEWED
In the end it's Alice himself for all his solo albums, but in the case of the new album I'd think Bob Ezrin would have a say also.

Re: W2MN .. REVIEWED
In the end the album art and direction is up to Alice and/or Bob Ezrin (or even Shep Gordon). The art reduces Alice, who is a very diverse and interesting artist, to a hokey caricature of himself. Some people might say it doesn't matter, it's just the music that matters. Sorry, but the art DOES matt...

Re: W2MN .. REVIEWED
"What I believe is happening when I read a negative review of Alice Cooper's albums is, that, the people writing the review have neither the history of where Alice has been or where he is going to...to really have the proper perspective to appreciate the music being listened to." I agree, after his ...

Re: W2MN .. REVIEWED
A lot of us were criticized for dumping on the album art a few weeks ago but it's embarrassing and the reviewers are saying it. When it comes to packaging, Alice and Bob Ezrin are their own worst enemies.

Re: 1970's Alice Photos in RockScene mag online
Wow, some sensational finds here. I love paging through these old rock magazines.
Loved seeing a full-page ad for Alice's whiplash mascara first time I ever saw that. Cool! And the photos of Alice at social events with John Lennon, Iggy Pop, plus a whole lot more.
Still going through them...

Re: Idiots in the Crowd
I've always had my doubts about Alice's version of the chicken incident for two reasons. First, since it's been revealed by Alice himself that Bob Ezrin threw the chicken onstage the question is why would he do that if Alice didn't have a plan for reacting to it? Just having a chicken onstage isn't ...

Re: Desmond Child
I understand why some people don't like Trash but there are good things to be said for Desmond Child. First the main problem with Trash wasn't the music, which was catchy, but Alice's lyrics. He did a teenage horny sex album instead of his usual interesting songs. Second, one of my favorite Alice so...

Re: classic v great v poor Alice albums
Being a statistics buff I just had to do this--- I compiled scores for all the results posted so far on album rankings. Around 25 or more people responded and this represents the most hardcore Alice fans, a pretty good sample I think. I categorized people's rankings on a scale of 0-3 with 3 being th...

Re: classic v great v poor Alice albums
I love these parlor games and hearing other people's views. My favorites: Billion Dollar Babies - definitive Killer From the Inside Dada - my personal favorite Dirty Diamonds (stunned that some don't like this. I believe its one of his most accessible for non-Alice fans and just plain great. I guess...
