Re: W2MN .. REVIEWED
Also The Constrictor and the Raise Your Fist And Yell tours both were made up of segments based around songs from those two albums, and they only featured 3 or 4 songs from the album. Nonetheless the tours were in support of the albums.

Re: W2MN .. REVIEWED
One third or half of an album doesn't count as a 'full blown tour'? What counts as 'full blown'? Playing the whole album? Alice didn't even play the whole tracklist of WTMN on the 1975 tour. The fact remains that a tour was setup and choreographed in support of the concept and theme of ACAS.

The Alice Cooper eChive does say that a "full blown tour supporting the album (ACAS) was scrapped in favour of the Theatre of Death tour, which sees Alice die a thousand deaths." So not sure if they are the last word on these issues, but there is evidence to support this assumption. I for one would ...

Re: Alice Thanks fans getting W2MNM to # 22 on Billboard
Oh the things I would say if I had free speech on this board, but I digress to a simple question. Why continue attacking when the whole point of this was to say that even though unlike scotty, I do dislike this album and find more then just filler wrong when he does not, I am still nonetheless happy...

Re: Alice Thanks fans getting W2MNM to # 22 on Billboard
Even though I on the other hand think over half the album is awful or needless filler, I am happy that it sold 18,000 units in America which is double what Along Came A Spider sold it's first week. I am more interested to see what happens this week, because in many instances, albums sale well the fi...

Re: W2MN .. REVIEWED
I agree. I plugged Under The Bed in right after The Nightmare Returns. It makes me think of falling into the dream state, but everything still seems normal. You think you are awake in bed, but weird things are going on around you, so obviously, you are not. That's how I see this song, and why I thin...

Re: W2MN .. REVIEWED
The whole experience has probably made me hate this album more then just the album itself. A fan pack with a scratched cd and without the pin badge or makeup and a magazine with a few torn pages, a black double vinyl album which the official website listed (and still has listed) as being blood red v...

Re: W2MN .. REVIEWED
I am a fan of all the ACG albums Killer and Love It To Death most of all...As I said, I really like the first part of the album from Caffeine to I'll Bite Your Face Off, and I love When Hell Comes Home. Something To Remember Me By is also a great ballad. Under The Bed and Bad Situation are great son...

Re: W2MN .. REVIEWED
Seriously, if you claim you are a fan and you don't like this cd, you have no reason be a Coop fan, it's all here. :alice: I have every album on vinyl, but hate this album. I hate that I spent all this time thinking I was a fan when I am not. Boohoo. There are some great songs on the album, and yes...

Re: Re-Sequencing W2MN
The Last Temptation fits in also. It's just another nightmare. Basically all of the stories of Steven are nightmares or mental episodes. The Last Temptation though shows Steven overcoming a nightmare in a much more positive spiritual way, because it was Alice creating a story around him escaping fro...

Re: Re-Sequencing W2MN
I re-sequenced the album as a 13 track album with 'Bad Situation' and 'Under The Bed' added and 'I Am Made Of You and 'Disco Bloodbath' omitted, and I have found the album to be salvageable and more to my liking. The sequence I made is: Bad Situation Caffeine The Nightmare Returns A Runaway Train La...

Re: Under the bed before Nightmare Returns?
Sadly, it seems like the first fruits would've made a great album, but they decided to go in a different, modern Alice direction which is not appealing to my ears.

Re: North American vinyl release...
Well, I would have paid the extra $8 or $10 for the colored vinyl, because I have enough black to last me a lifetime. I could care less about the album at this point, because it is a let down. But the completist in me wanted the album since it was going to be on red vinyl, so it's pretty lame not to...

Re: North American vinyl release...
Well, i find it to be a ridiculous mix up. Big difference in expecting a colored vinyl, and it just being a typical black vinyl. Would have ordered an import instead for the colored vinyl, the free poster, and the download if I would have known. I consider this whole 'nightmare' a ripoff at this poi...

North American vinyl release...
I know that everybody said the UK edition was blood red, but the official website says the North American edition is blood red also even though it is in fact black. It is definitely not what was advertised, plus the American copy doesn't have a download card nor the poster. The pin badge wasn't in m...

Re: Under the bed before Nightmare Returns?
I put it right after The Nightmare Returns. It kind of made me think of the state where you feel awake, but you are clearly having a nightmare. So technically, it had already returned. It could fit before it also though. Just depending on your interpretation of the song.

Re: W2MN .. REVIEWED
Wow, a real intellectual type here, eh? Intentions are not the end result. The intent leads to either failure or success. The intention of the song was to satirically poke fun at the disco/dance/hip hop culture, but it is not successful. So yes, intentions are meaningless. It is the end result of an...

Re: W2MN .. REVIEWED
Intentions are meaningless. Many intentions are not successful and end in utter failure. Elected was a success. This song missed the mark.

Re: W2MN .. REVIEWED
I have seen many satirical comedies that were meant to be funny and poke fun at an issue, but the job was not well done so instead of being comical, it came out as boring juvenile schlock and was ineffective. Same thing with comedians. They are on stage wanting to be funny, but some of them do not h...
