Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

building up the story is part of the game I guess, just like the audience Alice is facing , is always (one of ) the best ;)
Nevertheless, been looking at wiki and Road gets a solid 77/100 (summary of Mojo, Uncut, Classic Rock ao) which is not bad for an elderly rocker to achieve...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

100 miles.. The first seconds of this song remind me of "something else", another song.... But I can figure it out which one..Any idea anyone ?

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

been listening twice now : really like the album . Rules of the road situated somewhere between Holy Water and I love America..but it's ok. I like the ballad more than Salvation or Something to Remember me by. Interesting quote from Si about the lyrics : must admit that, being a non-native englisch ...

Re: Alice says he had nothing to do with "Killer" and "School's Out" remasters

I heard Alice's reply on this thread in https://www.noise11.com/vinterviews/alice-cooper-3 but another thing now : why is Alice not saying anything more about the "album" that is already done ? Is he waiting for Road to be launched ?? Although I don't think people would skip the Road-album to wait f...

Re: Slow Growing Albums

EA was a slow grower. Back in time -pre-internet- there were times when almost nothing was available to anticipate on a new album. So you could get Zipper or Lace and Whiskey and Dada in your hands with no clue at all what to expect ( certainly with those atypical covers). Zipper and Dada worked wel...

Re: Alice says he had nothing to do with "Killer" and "School's Out" remasters

Must be hard to chose from all of those albums and...to please everyone. I would add to Si's list, as an example, Nurse Rosetta and Pick up the bones which were brought with theatrical elements and afaik well received.. but didn't come back in the setlists if I am not mistaken.. On the other hand, I...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

after all this unexpected criticism, I quickly went through the lyrics kindly provided by Si . Know what ? it all ain't that bad, it's not contineously repeating itself... But of course, if you want to stay in the character, obviously , given the long history, some expressions, sentences will sound ...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

at the beginning it remains me of something of RYFAY (lock me up : leather is black, so are my eyes...)
I like it . an AC song (like AI would probably recognise as well ;) ;) )

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

good points here ! I loved the HV first cd because of the fact that it are merely classic rock songs, sung by my favourite singer... DS,not being a classic AC album, same story : good rock album , favourite singer.. And indeed, Winner takes all sounds very good imo, would make a great... cover :alic...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

It may depend on what one was expecting.. It sure isn't a "real AC" album( whatever that may be :-) ) Sister Anne and Hail Mary sure don't work for me, and Our love will change the world needed to grow on me, but Social Debris and Wonderfull world to name a few made the album ok for me..Paranormal w...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

Alice swan song ? I would have been "satisfied" if Paranormal would have been the last album (satisfied meaning: not disappointed by "the-album-"too- much" ). But Detroit Stories worked well for me too (only a few somewhat"weaker" songs imo.. ) And now this one ... Too difficult to judge by the seco...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

2 songs and the album is almost burried by some, together with Ezrin..Never understood what the use is of sharing negative anticipation..

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

I like I'mAlice more , perhaps because it's the first single ?
But the second one is ok, so I'm hopeful for the rest of the album. I for one am glad Alice is still going his own way ..
Nice interview on BBC, thanks for posting the link. (Vinylalbum cover in the background )

Re: Hollywood Vampires 2023

Good stuff ech. I was at the gig. A relatively young rock crowd, apart from a couple of hundred JD screamers, Many were in their thirties and enjoyed all of the covers, loved Joe Perry (who was very much awake!) and JD and genuinely saw Alice.as the star. Good venue, great atmosphere and great to s...

Back to I'm Alice.. been looking for some reviews, announcements on the net and found this one : Alice Cooper will release her new album, titled Road, on August 25 !! Her new album ... and in the reactions on Youtube, I find a lot of people referring to "the old days", claiming the "old style" is ba...

[ However you have to keep in mind that plans can change and it would be very early to talk too much about another album (if it exists) when they haven't even released this one yet.

Re: I'm Alice

Been listening several times now, really like it. When a new album arrives I'm always (well at least the last years), hoping that it is not the album too much, you know. Wasn't the case with Paranormal (really liked it), Detroit Stories also doing very well imho... This single gives me hope for the ...
