Re: Metal Mythos: Alice Cooper

His Malmsteen one is the video that got me hooked on Metal Mythos. I will always watch them once, but he's objectively a pretty terrible person, so I try not to revisit them.

Re: Metal Mythos: Alice Cooper

I always enjoy the Metal Mythos series as it's incredibly well researched, and I saw plenty of clips I'd never seen before. That said, Razorfist has always had awful politics, and he usually does an ok job of leaving them at the door in the Mythos series, but he failed in that regard here, so unlike...

Re: Best and Weakest releases by decade

Just doing studio records: 70s: Best - Killer - tough call between this and WTMN though Worst - Easy Action - this record is probably more consistent than Goes To Hell, but the good songs on that album are way better, so I can't put it at the bottom 80s: Best - Trash - easy choice for me. Every sing...

Re: Hypothetical Question-Would You Be Okay With Another Heavy Alice Album

I can't really think of anything that would be better than a heavy Alice Cooper album. Alice is probably the least heavy artist I listen to, so I'd take another RYFAY or Brutal Planet.

Re: How many times have you seen an Alice concert?

I've seen him 10 times: 2007 - Hamilton 2008 - Oshawa 2011 - Quebec City 2011 - Buffalo 2011 - Kitchener 2012 - Toronto 2016 - Rama 2017 - Toronto 2022 - Toronto 2023 - Toronto He seemed to skip Toronto a bunch of times, which is why I ended up seeing him in so many random places. I also didn't real...

Re: Road in the charts

One thing I'd like to bring up about Canadian chart numbers (acknowledging that I don't think any of us actually understand how they come up with these numbers) - it is very difficult to actually obtain physical copies of anything in Canada. We had one major music chain (HMV) that shut down many yea...

Re: Tampa …Freaks Tour

I saw this last night in Toronto for my 10th Alice show. I'm sure most on this board have seen him even more times than I have, but I'd say it's 100% worth going solely for Snakebite and Lock Me Up. The whole set was pretty fun, and although I agree it was way too short, it didn't feel disappointing.

Re: "Road" - Reviews

Am I crazy or is this the first time everyone is referring to a new Alice studio album based on the number of solo albums, rather than total? I keep seeing that this is his 22nd solo album everywhere, rather than his 29th total album. It doesn't really matter at all, as both are true, but I just fin...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

I'm just finishing my 3rd listen and this album is fantastic. A huge step up from Detroit Stories, though perhaps not quite as good as Paranormal. The best song is, without question, The Big Goodbye. It's super heavy, but better than that, it's got some great hooks. It reminds me of Hanging On By A ...

Official pre-listening
Sounds wicked! I think this is going to be his most "samey" album since TEOAC, but I think the songs will really click after a few listens. There was one song (The Big Goodbye) that sounded pretty heavy too.

You want to bring in a thrash song, do it.
You have my attention :clap:

Thrash is my favourite style of music and Alice is my favourite singer so combining the two sounds like a good idea in my head

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

Wicked track. I have no idea why people are hearing metal in this - I'm probably the biggest metal fan on this board and this is just a rock song. As for the Cherry Pie comparisons, the rhythm and syllables might be the same, but the melody is totally different. I don't really hear it. In any case, ...

Re: I'm Alice

Do you know what I DON'T like? Seeing Ezrin in the credits as a writer. This is the real thing we should be arguing about in this thread. It might just be my blind faith and appreciation for Alice, but I'm convinced most of the missteps in recent years are attributable to Ezrin (and I do like every...

Re: I'm Alice

I really like the song. I agree with people saying that there are The Last Temptation vibes, but it also reminds me a lot of Hello Hooray. It's clearly an intro song, but works as a standalone track too. It has more substance than I was first expecting from the comments. I don't love the backing voc...
