Raise Your Fist & Yell adoration thread.

I slept on this one for about a year, not being overly-impressed when I first bought it. But lately I haven't been able to stop playing it. So many great, anthemic, heavy tunes! Freedom is a great track, one of my favourite opening cuts on any Alice album. What's your interpretation of the lyrical c...

Re: New Alice fan... what album should I get next?

So I've given School's Out a couple of listens. Definitely not what I expected after having heard BDB, LITD and Killer. At first I was a bit unsure, but after a few repeated listens, the standouts to me are Alma Mater and Public Animal #9. Bare in mind, it's all still digesting. Am trying not to rus...

Re: ALICE Says Covers Album Features A 'Jaw-Dropping' Lineup

I'm just not excited about a covers album. I know what you mean about a covers album. Who in their right minds would choose a covers album over an album of original material from their favourite artist/band? But it all depends how it's done. And don't forget, there will be five or six original trac...

Re: New Alice fan... what album should I get next?

Okay, a little update for those that are interested.... I ordered School's Out and The Eyes Of Alice Cooper, something old, something new. TEOAC arrived a couple of days ago and I've given it a few spins. I absolutely love This House Is Haunted and quite like What Do You Want From Me, Detroit City a...

Re: Why was Trash such a big hit over the superior Hey Stoop

I personally think songs like Hey Stoopid, Snakebite, Might As Well Be On Mars and Love's A Loaded Gun are as catchy and radio-friendly as Poison was. I guess Trash was just released at exactly the right time.

Why was Trash such a big hit over the superior Hey Stoopid?

I think most fans would agree that Hey Stoopid is an infinitely better album than it's corporate rock predecessor and yet it achieved only a small fraction of the formers commercial success. Why do you think this was? Was it not given the same push from the label compared to Trash?

From what I can tell there are only two compilation books out there (both with very similar songs), but I haven't seen a single tablature book for any of his actual albums, either solo or with the band.

Re: New Alice fan... what album should I get next?

Since you've listed 'WTMN' as your favourite so far, then I'd suggest getting 'Goes To Hell' which is of a similar vaudeville style; it's pretty eclectic and very underrated, as is 'School's Out' , one of the band's brattish masterpieces. Then try 'From The Inside' - Alice's most confessional album...

New Alice fan... what album should I get next?

I started getting into AC about two years ago after hearing one of my favourite singer/songwriters Tori Amos covering Only Women Bleed. Before that, I only really knew Poison and School's Out. I ended up checking out the original and, well, the rest is history. I am slowly collecting all the albums ...
