A bonus track with the original Alice Cooper band is more than worth it for me. Glad I pre-ordered!

Brian wasn´t married and had no kids.

He was a great guy and a good friend.
May he rest in peace.

"I'm pretty sure that's Neal Smith singing on that."

That´s correct.

The story is true. As a matter of fact the band set up their equipment in the hall and played just outside of Zappa´s bedroom door! Also, the bandmembers stayed awake the previous night so they wouldn´t have to wake up that early and risk being too late (!) for the audition. I had this confirmed by ...

I agree.

Although I like both albums (EASY ACTON especially), I don´t think that Steve Hoffman´s remasters would make all that much difference to the Rhino remasters in terms o...

A_MichaelUK: "How about giving us a little credit for making absolutely sure that neither she nor Glen were ignored?!" I (for one) truly appreciate that Bob Ezrin made sure to give Cindy Smith the credit she deserves. Although the rest of the bandmembers did not hear about the Hendrix story until ye...

I hope that Audio Fidelity gets permission to do remasters of Billion Dollar Babies as well as Muscle Of Love on 24 karat Gold CDs.
Steve Hoffman´s remasters are excellent and it would be nice to complete the ACG collection.

With Glen Buxton´s distinctive guitar playing being such a big part of the sound of that album, it just wouldn´t be the same. james1981 wrote: "Rather than a re-record...

Great to hear how many of you are loving this set! There is a reason that there is no previously unreleased material from the Billion Dollar Babies era on the OLD SCHOOL Treasures CDs. The reason is that most (if not all) of the best out-takes, alternate mixes and live recordings that are out there ...

Yes, I mentioned that in my previous post above. In fact some of the Alice Cooper bandmembers met him on more than one occasion.

I think this shows what a trooper Alice really is when it comes to doing a show. Every performer has a bad day and Alice could have taken the easy way out and played it safe by lip synching through the performance. Instead, he still chose to sing live despite the difficult circumstances of having lo...

"Apart from that, mainly the DVD is disappointing, as I at least expected video footage from the 1971 St.Lois concert, that suprisingly is only available as audio CD in excellent quality but not as video at all." There is nothing in the advertisements for the box set that suggests video footage from...
