He was referring to the song itself and the guitar sound, not the "vocal".

No he wasn't, he was referring to the entire song!

Thanks for finding and sharing that with us, that's what is so good about forums. Would love to hear His original demo, sounds like davey johnston played guitar on it. Great question and great find.

It was written by David Carron (1948-84), who had played in Arlo Guthrie's Shenandoah, and the short lived Gulliver.

This is all that is said in wikipedia, not much help, died very young. It would be interesting to know a bit more about him. Certainly clones does not sound like an arlo guthrie song.

I have to agree with the above, Alice's voice was too gravely and shouty. For this song to be the Stone's tribute that Alice say's it is his vocal needs to be a bit smoother.

I have just read the Kerrang review. Superb! This is the review we have been waiting for. This is the first main Rock magazine review I have read for the album and this will have a lot more impact on general rock fans than those online reviews from people I, for one, have never heard of. I hope tha...

I found this but it doesn't give you any personal information about him.

Guys hang off for another few days, as I have said before, I have downloaded the album and love it but do miss the full experience of reading all the sleeve notes and enjoying the art work. so just hold off a bit longer I promise you the album is well worth the wait.

I have listened to this album a lot over the last few days and it continues to grow on me which is great as I liked it first time. I had a lot of trepidation in the run up to this and was disapointed by IBYFO, which I think works much better in the album. Ok favourites are Caffeine - Great early 80'...

My son went to the Hey Stoopid gig in Edinburgh when he was just four years old, front row of the circle, he even got the make-up on. And now he is a well adjusted lunatic and we are going to the glagow october gig together, what better for a daddy - son day?

Si I have read your review and agree with it wholeheartedly, spot on. Alice's greatest album since..... although apparently it's not about stevens journey!

Si I've had a scoot around for your review but can't see it. Where abouts is it??

[quote="A_MichaelUK"]>A clue there I think! You are making the same assumption about this album that others made about the "Welcome To My Nightmare".[/quote As Si has pointed out there is evidence to back up the 'assumption'. The greatest thing about an album like this, in fact all great art, is tha...

How do you know that's who it is?

(Daddy's home.. Get out my way... Gimme the bottle.. Steven... Steven... STEVEN... )

A clue there I think!

My review. I had very mixed feelings about how this album was going to sound. I was underwhelmed by IBYFO although I loved caffeine, the reviews have been on the whole very good but with one or two that perhaps grounded my expectations. I have now listened to the album several times and here are my ...

cheers

I was just wondering if anyone knew if there was a film crew at the gig You should seriously think about this for a second... I was referring to a professional film crew there for the reason of capturing the gig with a view to releasing the whole gig rather than the couple of clips that appear on I...

I have just seen the nme clip from the review thread and there is some top quality footage from the 100 club. I was just wondering if anyone knew if there was a film crew at the gig and if there was any plans to release it in any form?

I had a look through this weeks mainstream music magazines - courtesy of the library that is Asda magazine shelf - but couldn't find any reviews, nor in fact much mention at all really. I wonder if anyone has read a review outwith the more specialised outlets?

I got a text from a good friend of mine yesterday saying that he has bought Alice's 2009 cooper live cd/dvd (sic) and pre-ordered the new Album. We have been to every Alice concert North of the Border together since Special Forces, but he fell out of love with Alice's music after Trash (which he lov...
