Hi there Sickthings! As promised, Steve Hunter's article on 'Devil's Food' has now been published online so here it is. As I said before, there is one more regarding those earliest days, which is about the transition to working with solo Alice. That will be in January then he will be moving on to so...

Another of Steve's articles about the recording of 'Welcome To My Nightmare' tracks has gone up online for those who do not buy the Guitar Player Magazine. This one is about the 'Some Folks' sessions. Next month will be about 'Devils Food' (already published in the magazine) which is the last articl...

There may be some people on the forum who do not know that Steve Hunter has been writing a monthly column for Guitar Player Magazine for the last year. The guideline for the 500 words per month is to recall his memories of the many sessions he has contributed to over 45 years, but as time goes on th...

There seems to be some misunderstanding about performance royalties going on here. Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL) has been around since 1934. It is a UK-based music licensing company and performance rights organisation founded by Decca and EMI. As of 2012 PPL collected royalties for 65,000 p...

Thanks Pitkin, maybe I should think about that. I have musician friends whose eyes glazed over just looking at the PPL homepage (:

Guitar Player Magazine covered the story about Steve Hunter and the airtime royalties, they took a different tack and made me the focus which was a surprise for sure. The good thing about this article is that I think it's a bit clearer on what it was all about. http://www.guitarplayer.com/artists/10...

Hi Sickthings, we want to thank those of you who supported Steve on his Kickstarter. It raised 275% of the original goal! He is busy recording every day and is determined to make this his best album to date. It looks like we have a drummer lined up (with the absence of Glen) and a studio here in Pho...

Hi Sickthings, we know you are busy getting ready for the new AC tour which will be fab of course and we hope Alice and the entire gang have a great time. Once again, we will miss meeting up with some of you but we are busy with the new album and life in general. Steve says the one thing he will mis...

:clap: :rock: Thanks to the Sickthings that helped Steve get to the Kickstarter goal. It is up for another 19 days, this means that you could still be part of The Manhattan Blues Project by pledging anything from $1 upwards. Pre buying the CD is a huge help and there are still other things on there ...

The Whisky shirt has gone on Steve's Kickstarter and the Braves shirt has gone. We are now 94% funded and there are still things on there for the collectors and people who would like to support Steve by pre ordering the CD as a pledge. We reduced the Hall of Fame top hat and the red Jagermeister sui...

We still have a few Alice things left on Steve's Kickstarter, the Braves shirt he wore on the encore this year in Atlanta, the leather Kenneth Cole jacket, the Whisky A Go Go shirt (rare). We have reached 77% of the goal so take a look if you have not already done so. The copy of the original transc...

Thanks! Just to let people know that the Bobblehead has also gone as has the Theatre of Death bag, the W2MN vinyl package and the bandana. But, there is still a lot to choose from on there.

Hi Sickthings You will have seen about Steve Hunter's Kickstarter project on the home page but I wanted to let you know about some of the items that will be available either as a one off opportunity to own or rare items that will only be available whilst this project is on. There is an Alice Cooper ...

As much as Steve did not want to re kindle this subject, it is important that some things are clarified due to growing confusion. He has never said that Dick did not play on that album; he of course knows that Dick played the solo on ‘Here Comes The Flood’ as he remembers Dick needed to borrow his T...

I have been attempting to get more regular posts up on the blog, they are a little shorter with pics when I have the time and opportunity to take them. We move to bus traveling in Europe which I find more tricky as I get car sick but I will do my best to keep them going. I love doing them and I hope...

Ori is doing all the same solo spots that Damon had and also now has a featured spot that he did not have. It is difficult to tell from Youtube vids, you have to see the whole show.

There are a couple of new entries up on the blog, a bit about the LA and a bit about Auckland.

Leno.....doh!

One of us thought he was getting it but the camera didn't go into record!!!! Here at the Lenno studio, it's freezing cold but the band's run thru was burning hot!

Steve and Orianthi spontaneously started trading licks during first rehearsal today, the rest of the band joined in. It turned into an awesome power blues jam.
Jay Lenno tomorrow, yay!
