Re: New Theatrics

Yes, the same spontaneity favored since the early days. Another memory of the Beachland Ballroom - I'm not sure if it was that same night, but Blue Coupe we're about to return to the stage for an encore. I was standing in the backstage hallway and a girl came up and asked if we could play "Killer" ...

Re: New Theatrics

Dennis: One of my favorite moments of any concert was when you appeared with Blue Coupe at Cleveland's Beachland Ballroom in the summer of 2015 and started Black Juju offstage, concealed behind a theater curtain at stage left. Instead of walking on conventionally, you began to slowly push your way t...

Michael J. Fox documentary

I recently watched "Still," the Michael J. Fox documentary streaming on Apple+, and I found it to be compelling and inspiring, but not at all in the vein of your typical "look what someone can do in the face of adversity" story. His utter lack of vanity, his endearing sense of humor, and his desire ...

Re: What if...an alternate ACG reality

Oh, wow...
I posted this and almost immediately afterward saw that a similar thread was started on another forum:

What if...an alternate ACG reality

Dennis: A little thought experiment here. Let's say that Ezrin passed on the ACG, but by some circumstance, fate allowed the group to record a self-produced third album. What kind of an album do you think it would have been? The ACG had already moved into a more commercial vein with Easy Action (alt...

Repetition repetition repetition

Dennis, I have a quirky interest in one of the unsung triumphs of so many musicians, and that is the ability to successfully play extremely repetitive parts with proper expression and without mistakes. Think, for example, of how many times Greg Lake had to play minutes of alternating octaves every t...

Trading places?

Dennis, Please simply ignore this question if it's too personal or doesn't sit well with you, but I've often thought of you and Vince on this wild journey to success that then diverged into totally separate life paths. I imagine that most people, at first consideration and if asked to state a prefer...

Cindy's book

I remember hearing that Cindy was considering publishing a book of her costume designs. Any news regarding this?

Re: New album cover

No one has mentioned the pun inherent in the cover art: the album is called "Detroit STORIES" and we're looking up at a group of Detroit's multi-story buildings.

Cop cars, gay bars on your precious street

Great to see that "Grim Facts" has been added to the setlist, but disappointed that Alice kept "gay bars" in the lyrics. Admittedly, I didn't think a thing of it back in 1980, but then I was 12, and attitudes about homosexuality were quite different then. Hearing the line today (implying as it does ...

Not bad. AC meets Pink Floyd meets Def Leppard, with a modern twist on all three signature sounds.

Re: Statues

The inaccurate blending of eras in various Alice figurines drives me nuts. Of these two new statues, you have Killer/SO-era Alice atop a BDB-themed platform and then a strange blend of Nightmare red pajamas with straitjacket (not sure if this combo appeared during BODF in the Nightmare TV special, b...
