Re: Alice's Band Mates: An Appreciation
You know what’s a fun game? Reading the comments without looking at the author, and trying to guess who wrote them. There’s a certain few who are pretty easy to guess.

Get well, Nita
Whatever is ailing you, I have every reason to believe that you’re going to kick its ass. Cheers to your recovery!

Re: Screaming Lord Sutch on Alice Cooper
I love Alice, but he needs to stop saying he was the first. Maybe "breakthrough" would be a better word. Lord Sutch was barely a blip on the radar, even at the height of his popularity. He largely relied on Hollywood films to do his legwork. The whole Alice thing evolved on a completely different l...

Re: "Road" - Reviews
The question is could the HV survive if they don't bring Nita on board? I know its dripping with sarcasm but i dont get the nita hate being banded around. That's a Bingo! I've started a "I hate Nita" thread so we can get this one back on track. I won't be mad if the other thread goes away. I'm just...

Re: "Road" - Reviews
Let's get back to talking about the album. I have a Spotify list that contains all the available studio albums*. I like playing it in shuffle, because I hear things I'd completely forgotten about. Every time a "Road" song comes on, it really stands out. Go ahead and joke, but I think the album is a...

Re: If You Could Interview Alice...
Alice, your "fans" describe their unhappiness with practically everything you do. Doesn't that get exhausting?

How many times have you seen an Alice concert?
11 here. I started in 1986 at the Landmark Theater in Syracuse, NY. Of all my years seeing a large assortment of bands, I still think that was one of the best entrances I’ve ever seen.

Re: What's the farthest you've ever traveled to see Alice?
I think you may have gotten the topic wrong... the prize is not how far away but, how near did he play? Travel makes the Concert not just an event but, an adventure. Nothing wrong with that. Who will top whom? I've never left the Free State for a show but, the last time I saw Alice he played less t...

Re: Welcome to my nightmare - new 2lp + SACD
Personally, I'm kind of burned out on 45rpm LPs. Sure, it sounds nice, but it's twice the effort of a regular LP. Besides, is anyone making money on these besides the record company?

That’s a long way to go! Looks like a 12 hour flight from Chicago to Heathrow. Hope the band waited until you got there. (You are the winner so far )NotSoPerfect wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2023 10:24 pmI know that I'm not the winner, but London, England, from Wisconsin, USA.

4.5 hours (one way) for me. Fortunately, we didn't need a hotel.

Re: Is Alice’s future outside the US and Canada?
That's a darn fine question. I've always thought that most audiences outside of the USA were more dedicated than us Americans. How wrong am I to chalk up some of that to population concentration? The USA is way bigger and more spread out. Sure... we turn out, yell, clap, and holler, but man! Crowd ...

Re: Alice “Special Forces” interview.
The “dinosaur” label didn’t come from me. Alice was lumped in with numerous other groups from the 70s who the “advanced set” saw as archaic. A lot of rockers suffered during the early 80s. I didn’t agree, but it was there. Maybe if he opened for Oingo Boingo or Scritti Politti it may have opened so...

Re: Alice “Special Forces” interview.
I don't like to disagree with the idea, but Alice and MTV were not made for each other. Sure, there were lots of bands from the late 70s that made a splash on the channel, but Alice Cooper was seen as a dinosaur to the forward-thinking audience that MTV was appealing to. It certainly would have tak...

Re: Alice “Special Forces” interview.
One of the things I took away from the video is his emphasis on “the band.” He mentions the Yardbirds, and then he talks about his band and how they sound like a band because they’re a band , and… It seems almost like he’s trying to sell that idea to himself. It makes me wonder about inner regrets ...

Alice “Special Forces” interview.
Never saw this before today. It’s a good sized chunk of raw video interview with Alice in 1981. He gives quite a bit of insight to the “new” album.
