Re: UK Dates 2024

He sells between 6,000 and 8,000 in Glasgow usually. Armadillo is 3,000 so I guess it’s been about maximising income. He’s around 4,500 at the moment and possibly heading for 5,500 so an easy sellout at the Armadillo but less profit for one night’s work? Two night’s time and cost possibly too much a...

Re: UK Dates 2024

I'm a need and keep an eye on ticket sales where I can when Alice tours. Can't see Birminghams stats but Manchester and Leeds seem to be up to the same level as the last tour so far. Surprised London hasn't sold out yet particularly given its all seated and some folk will do both nights. The bad one...

Re: Alice UK presale 10am tomorrow

all these rumours about TM supposedly being investigated were obviously wrong, or they've dumped cash into someone's back pockets. how a company can be allowed to instigate "dynamic pricing" is disgusting. I thought there were rules about selling for the quoted price on a product, what would happen...

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

i genuinely think nothings free and wind up toy are songs that need to be brought out of retirement. I love nothings free in and of itself but live was so good (the whole bit on the pre chorus where Alice elevates his voice for the "sign upon the blooded line" bit is pure genius) Totally agree, par...

Re: UK Dates 2024

Got lucky today. 4th row just left of centre for Glasgow. Nothing close on Ticketmaster but got them on ASX. Agree with all the comments about the bigger venues. I count myself lucky to be able to get to Glasgow venues easily and cheaply. I have a drink before I get there and maybe one in the venue....

Re: UK Dates 2024

Not a little strange to downsize though given the attendance at the O2 last time? Surely two sellout gigs though. Don't see it as downsizing, see it as upgrading the quality of venue! Hammersmith is an infinitely better place for him to play than the 02! Lol. Been to both and totally agree. Just wo...

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

I can’t make up my mind on this. As has already been said, there are quite a few songs which just don’t get a reaction when played. Would the reputation of Alice’s shows stand up for long if 50% of the set fell into that category. I suspect audiences on subsequent tours might dwindle quite quickly. ...

Re: BSB 50th anniversary 2cd / 3 lp out in March

I read it and always thought the same. Half a story. Lost my brother to cancer years ago and we both used to joke about it all the time to cope. I’ve got no problem with humour but I need to know someone is trying to be funny. Couldn’t see that here. If a joke falls flat it isn’t always the audience...

Woke? Where? You have completely miss-understood the comments and used “woke” as a “throw away” criticism of others. You’ve tried to make a point with a half baked and exaggerated idea that DW was screwed over a $6k deal when there is no evidence for it at all. You then make a comment that dementia ...

Mr B. where do you get your figures from for the income you think that people make from ACG music? "Likely earned nearly a miĺion.." How? I put up what I understand to be the most likely calculations and they get nowhere near. I'm happy to be corrected if im wrong but where's the evidence? My dad di...

This is where I sometimes think we look at things a bit generously when we throw figures about for ACG. “ For all releases after January 1, 2024, the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) has increased the "per unit" statutory mechanical royalty rate for Physical media and Digital Downloads from 12 cents / ...

Re: BSB 50th anniversary 2cd / 3 lp out in March

We are fortunate that Dick Wagner wrote his book before he passed. Also, the podcast regarding Dada is just as valuable. At least we got a straightforward no b.s. account of what went on during the early solo years and even before the break-up. Say what you want about Wagner, but the guy never minc...

Re: Saxon -From The Inside

I seldom listen to Saxon so probably not a good judge of what they do nowadays.

What I liked was the unusual choice and the fact that it is similar to the original but much more a rocker now.

Re: The Beginning of the Comeback of Alice Cooper (1986)

86 was a great year for me. I had seen Alice twist and turn in style over the previous years and achieve less and less success each time. I had heard he was done in his career and had been worried about his health since I’d heard some stories from friends in the US about a year earlier. I didn’t exp...

South of France and Venice area in summer should sell well with her, I hope. I’ll happily take any new music and have made a New Year ...

Re: The 'Secret' Next Album

Yup, I was at the Glasgow show, and it was magical to see the original band come out for that mini set. I cant see much more than that in the future. I'm sure Dunaway and Smith could handle it. Not so sure about Bruce. His weight seems to fluctuate. As for the proposed album, give us a couple of ep...
