Re: A Fighting Band?

hi Dennis I read about a concert in Toledo that you had to stop because of the violent attitude of the public . ( a part of the MOL tour ) throwing full beer cans and even exploding things on stage... at that time you guys were already famous. Was the ACG the only band receiving such "treatment" or ...

Re: The great reformation

We've all remained friends despite the confiscation of our band's name, which was the most problematic element by far. [/quote] really great the way you covered that chapter in your book, Dennis ! In the book by Martos Sergio ,Neal was excited about the quality of the songs brought in the Jägermeist...

Re: Choreography

Hi Dennis I am currently reading (well, trying to , spanish.. ;) ) the book by Sergio Marcos ( for a billion dolars).

Re: Who I really am

I've listened to the free clips so far and was surprised at how much he seems to be shouting the stories out. I reckon I'll have to give the whole thing a listen. I am halfway through so far and indeed, it is not in his usual narritive laidback style ... Guess the die hards, that have read golfmons...

Re: Alice Cooper "The Only Two People In The World Who Understand "Alice Cooper" The Character Are BOB EZRIN And Myself"

Is it worth pointing out that the character created by the original band is far from the character currently played by Alice? So Alice saying only he and Ezrin understand the Alice Cooper character NOW (the sardonic villain) is probably correct, as it is no longer the character the original band cr...

Re: September 17, 2021 Ovation Hall - Atlantic City Show Videos

thank you for the list : gave me the opportunity to recreate the show, which was great ! Alice in strong voice, looking good and in better shape than a few years ago. Was looking forward to hear Social Debris : I wonder why the band didn't perform the guitar solo as composed by Steven Crayn, which m...

Re: Re-evaluating Alice

what an impossible situation for Alice : if he makes "new" music he immediately gets the reaction that it doesn't stand up against the music from the ACG years. If he tries ( or says to..) find that "old style" back (e.g. the making of Social Debris ), he is stuck in '71.. Catch 22 ??

Re: Re-evaluating Alice

yes padre, we will never know. But, would we still be here if Alice had become that crooner... Perhaps "Alice" is the sum of image, history, music, lyrics and so on.. The image alone has somewhat changed along the way, so has the music but there is enough left (imo) to keep us here.. For me personal...

Re: hot sauce and colouring books

thanks for this clarification. I too was rather annoyed with all these things appearing, but somewhere I thought/hoped it would be for a good cause...but still, in my mind I'd rather see no association with Alice and milk or whatever not music-linked..

Re: Battle Axe

the underlying question is : was Battle Axe meant to be the next album by the entire ACG, did everyone think alike and thus was Alice involved in the writing, or was it just the idea of the ACG minus Alice .. every time Alice talks about the split he always mentions - and I never heard the words "ba...

Re: Battle Axe

I bought the complete Battle Axe 3cd years ago, the first and only time I saw it in "my" cdshop. At first I was not convinced this could have been an ACG cd, but listening to it again several times now ,it really has good songs ! And the second cd with the demo's is really good !

Re: Being An Alice Cooper Fan in the Early 70s

Perhaps one of the big differences between fandom now and then is the internet.
