Re: Alice band members past and present best albums

ive only heard a handful of orianthi singles and never liked them. Maybe i have just heard the wrong stuff. I might try out an album if i can find it cheap. Rock Candy really is good get that one in particular. I like the second? single Fire together a lot myself. Guitar work is just exquisite all ...

Happy new year 2024

Let's hope it is a good one, or at least better than we expect. For Alice I hope the original band album is a quality product. I don't think sales are that important these days, but good songs would be welcome. For myself I hope the tour in Europe lets me attend to several shows and as a long shot I...

Re: Alice at the Eddie Trunk thing

I've always loved Ori, and I suppose I still do, based on how much I enjoyed her in that video. It's not just because of her playing; I think her aloof demeanour complements Alice's intensity. I'm not comparing her to anyone else. It's art, not sports, and I believe comparisons are artificial and sh...

Just my 2 cents and guess but I'm thinking Alice is happy with his life and doesn't need to try and take over the world at this point.
I kinda think this is the gist of it. And why would he not be happy? He has touched millions and millions of people with his art.

I’m not one of those femminists guys at all, but hey, I do think she is heated for being a woman.
Nita is not hated at all. It's just a couple of old grumpy grand dads seeking attention. Pay no mind to them. The rest of the world loves her.

Re: Alice's Band Mates: An Appreciation

Agreed about album sales, but this album was pushed as "the band" album. It's not exactly a smash and even met a lukewarm reception by a lot of fans (including me). All involved are likely looking at the possibility of changing things up and I'm quite sure you'll see it happen in the near future......

Re: Alice's Band Mates: An Appreciation

Speaking of the drums regarding the Constrictor album. On an interview on Sirius XM last year, Kane Roberts mentioned that there was some talk of bringing Anton Fig in to play drums for that album as well but due to time (maybe budget too), they went with drum machines on that album and then of cou...

Re: Alice's Band Mates: An Appreciation

The irony of some fans of ACG putting down Nita for too much showmanship rofl She whips her hair too much! That's just terrible :D Nita is great. I will always have a soft spot for Orianthi too. I actually loved her aloof stage presence and I did like her playing. What a waste of years the RSO was. ...

Re: "Road" - Reviews

Yep. I think their last two albums have been their best since Razor's Edge. Random lament: I wish to god that they had kept Mutt Lange around longer. Flick of the Switch, Fly on the Wall, and Blow Up Your Video would have been amazing albums with better production, imo. Yeah, I agree. Although I am...

Yes definitely heard this from several sources , it’s also been reported that Alice and Desmond Child have also written an album of songs ( so that may be 31 ) It was writren in the german classic rock magazine. Sounds definitely besser to me that 14 tracks with the OGs. I like the first 7 albums w...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

I think the album turned out better than I feared after the snippets. I too think the lyrics are far beyond bad too often but that's not very important to me. I too would have liked to see much more room for the band in the mix and the structure of the songs and that in turn would have called for lo...

Re: Michael Bruce inducted into Arizona Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame

Isn't the album done, so it's kinda pointless throwing ideas about the guitarist? We'll see what they went with. I really hope it's a great album. Not many bands have been able to pull one off for a reunion, mostly they have been terrible disappointments, but I hope these guys can. Not only would it...

Re: Setlist April 28---spoilers

I have only seen clips but. The new stage seems spacious. I loved the castle, I guess, but this looks - lovely? Not 100 sure yet. Nita being there is awesome, that much is certain. Which, I just realized, underlines how much I take Alice for granted. One of these years it will be over. Please come t...

Re: 1st date of the fall tour 9/7/22 in Bethlehem, PA

She wasn't that great of a player. Those things don't involve sex appeal. How was Nita in the band a gimmick? Because she's a woman? Her outfits were similar to the rest of the band (tight trousers and shirts and wests), and other women in rock. Heck Chuck shows more skin, but that is not considere...

Orianthi has a new Cd/Dvd release. Anyone interested?
Sadly, no. The first two singles sound like the best thing she's done for years.

I refused to see him with Nita, because it was a gimmick.
Your choice to make. Also your loss. Nita is everything but a gimmick. She is [lots of positive things here].

Re: Nita Strauss Quits

As I said before I hope all the best for her. I hope she won't be disappointed as she talks about being a sidekick in the interviews etc. As utterly awesome as Jennifer Batten was (is), she was never a sidekick for MJ. She did get her spot light with him during Beat it every night, and that was pret...

Re: Nita Strauss Quits

I think Kane's a step back as well. There are young hungry options there. Everyone's getting up on age again - hell even Ori is nearing fourty if she would be coming back! Get a mid 20s shredder like Nita was when she joined. Not like you are going to find another Nita, but perhaps something new and...

Quite a few female hot shots out there actually not least thanks to Ori and Nita. But since they were alread...
