Saw Alice for the first time on The Nightmare Returns tour. Still my favorite that I've seen from him.
If I could revisit, it would be 1972 and 1975.

I really didn't care for it at all when it came out. Recently, I went back to it for a couple of weeks, and I like it a lot more. It is aging well, but I still don't think it's that great.

I appreciate the approach and how Alice sounds. But yes, it IS better than ACAS, but that's not saying much.

Love to see the love for Blue Turk. Great tune!

but I don't quite understand　why Alice chose the songs written for Ozzy. It's very common for songs to be passed around to different bands to try out. Cornell may have written the song with Ozzy in mind and it may have been turned down. Alice should've turned them down too IMO. They're the only two...

The only time I didn't like the character change was with "hair metal" Alice as with that he lost his originality. He was just like all of the other hair metal bands at the time. Granted he still had a bit of the Alice edge but musically and style wise he was just another walking can of hair spray....

No, it cannot. Would love to see it.
Would love for it to replace Feed My Frankenstein. Or even bring back something like Teenage Frankenstein ot The World Needs Guts to replace it.

Rhapsody of Fire wrote:The album Trash was superior and the song Poison was a big hit because of this. Sounds familiar?

WOW, never heard that before.

I just think it was an album that reflected the times. And it did so very well.

Yeah definitely. A TAC Top 10 Alice tune for sure. Love the smoking guitar solo!

Apologies if this has been posted on the site somewhere, but here is a recent pod cast featuring Dick Wagner. He spends about an hour discussing the making of DaDa. Really interesting.

Awesome songs listed. Love the love for My Stars, though there's a lot more Alice songs I like more, My Stars is a masterpiece and is one of the songs I cite when trying to convince people that the original Alice Cooper band is the most underrated American rock band, especially in terms of songwriti...

I like this song a lot. Love the chorus.

First Post! :alice: Obviously, Poison was a surprise hit, Desmond Child or not. I've seen Alice called Alice Bon Jovi in this thread. I don't agree with that at all. Alice's albums, for the most part, seem to reflect what's going on in hard rock at the time. I liked Trash a lot when it came out. Fel...
