Re: Old Grey Whistle Test Interview

Never seen this before, if you have, watch it again. :blues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tryByT2_wXA Thanks, I have some OGWT DVD's but they're "Best Of's".

Re: Thoughts On And Ranking The New Album

According to Amazon.de there will be a Tour Edition of paranormal. Release Date is November 10. Oh.. what a surprise.... :/ Nuclear Blast are listing this as 1CD for less then the normal 2CD edition... Can't find anything else though. Wonder what the selling point on this one will be.

Re: Happy 30th Birthday RYFAY!

Just remember--it wasn't Trash that was Alice's comeback. It was Constrictor and it's tour and RFAY and it's tour. Alice I'm sure will tell you that himself. Also, I'm pretty sure Alice is quite fond of RFAY--bad cover and all! Mr. B. You make some very good points here. May I elaborate where RYFAY...

Yeah. That was embarassing to watch. At least he appeared to be having fun. Arthur Brown is a legend now,give the guy a break he's like 74 yrs old, why would you call it embarrassing? Because I watched it...and I thought it was embarrassing. Please, some respect - both AB & AC were ahead of their t...

Re: Can alice still shock?

No, outside of doing something really absurd what would be the point? He would shock me if he brings the old guys back and they record a bonified great album. Yeah that would be shocking. I think we are closer to that than we have ever been. We are, but I think the important words there were "bonaf...

Re: Why BBB did not work out

1) Michael Bruce vocally is no Alice Cooper. They should have hired a charismatic frontman who could sing. 2) They may have underestimated Alice's abilities as a lyricist. The lyrics on Battle Axe lacked a cleverness, an originality, and even the ambiguity that were found on earlier Alice Cooper re...

Re: Great Interview With Alice on Rolling Stone Music Podcas

I agree it's hard for Alice to avoid just giving canned answers to questions. Things get redundant after a while. But the worst part is he keeps repeating lies as if they are true (chicken story, Sinatra singing his song You and Me, band break up, etc) and I wonder if he believes them at this point...

Re: Genuine American Girl

Well, From my POV since it was Alice singing, it was always "Tongue In Cheek" humor & a nod to the LGBT community. Why shouldn't AC be all inclusive - after all he took a girls moniker nearly 50 years ago!! After the line in BML & the answer "Oh, you wouldn't really understand." Why can't ACG & Alic...

On a last note and if am allowed to 'dream' a little, to top of seeing ACG perform this year I would truly love to see an album done by them. I note from conversation on here that on recent albums, Alice encourages people to supply him with songs including the original band. From this I guess Alice...
