Re: BSB 50th anniversary 2cd / 3 lp out in March

Hmmm. Cant say i am feeling this.....i presume they are releasing this due to good performances of killer and SO?
If so i may have to buy this in the eventual hope of getting albums and songs i care about......

Re: BSB 50th anniversary 2cd / 3 lp out in March

I'm not interested in the vinyl edition but if the CD has out takes/different versions of stuff (like killer and Schools Out) then i am 100% buying it day one. im not fussed by the live stuff from the OG band as its not different enough to really excite me. (i prefer alice live from 1980 onwards whe...

Re: The 'Secret' Next Album

I dont think they have picked a good lead single since the last temptation.
the biggest own goal for me was W2MN - the lead single should have been what baby wants. that was a great tune and could have attracted a good modern crowd, but no. We get the bland stones throwback/rip off.

Re: Theatre of Death 2 LP

The theatre of death live dvd/blu ray always had a bad sound mix for me, is the cd or vinyl any better or is it just a straight reproduction of the dvd? i found that the guitars lacked bite and the second guitarist (damon johnson was it?) sounds terrible, quiet and exceedingly limp. id love a beefed...

Re: Saxon -From The Inside

Big fan of saxon but apart the choice of cover i didnt find it that remarkable. Its solid, but nothing original.
Im more of the opinion that if you do a cover it should bring something new to the table but i know saxon did it as a salute to the relevant bands so i understand why its similar.

Re: The 'Secret' Next Album

I think it could be great. I do not get the adoration for Rick Rubin, the last 10+ years he hasn't done anything of worth and arguably he hasn't done much before as most bands report that rick barely gets involved and his techs do all the actual work. Also Ricks obsession with overly compressed very...

Re: Desmond Child Thoughts

I don't know that he is that arrogant. He did a seminal album with a one of the all time top rock singles ever made. He is clearly proud of what he did and a bit frustrated about being chucked off the second album, while i love hey stoopid i think he is justified in being bemused at being thrown off...

Re: Alice's Band Mates: An Appreciation

I thought that performance was pretty cool. I like that song allot anyway and nitas' enthusiasm always helps sell things.
not a massive fan of the crossbone skully from what i heard. Just average rock. not bad, just not great.

Tommy, Tommy, Tommy is a decent song writer but i dont think he is great. Most of his tunes are quite middling. Some good ones for sure but the batting average isnt great. He is a good rhythm player and obviously helps out vocally. He is always entertaining but he is unremarkable. I appreciate why A...

Re: Metal Mythos: Alice Cooper

Your mileage on the host will vary. I disagree politics wise but his sense of humor makes me laugh and largely he keeps politics out of his music discussions. I enjoy his arrogance of faith in his opinions. But i appreciate its a very personal take and is not trying to be diplomatic. Musically me an...

Re: Metal Mythos: Alice Cooper

Razorfist does great retrospectives on different bands. I largely agree with his views on music in general and the alice retrospective in particular with only 3 exceptions: 1. might as well be on mars - i love it he does not. 2. W2MN - i love it he does not 3. he has allot more time for ACAS than i ...

Re: What album best represents the full catalogue?

Originally i was thinking something like W2MN due to how varied it is. But to be honest one album could never represent his full catalogue, its way too varied and while there are what i would call good starter albums (Killer, B$B, WTMN, Hey Stoopid, Last Temptation) none of those represent him music...

Re: What is 1 Original Band Song and 1 Solo Song You Would Like Added

Luney tune for the ACG - absolute classic track and could easily insert into the straight jacket bit

for his solo there are so many i would love to have added to the set but i would say its a 50/50 split for me between wind up toy and cleansed by fire (ideally both of them!)

Re: Hellfest 2022

its a great show, my only complaint is that (as with many live dvds etc.) they dont like to focus on the musicians on guitar solos. I mean Roses on white lace, nita was ripping that solo and we only saw 40% of it. But yeah great gig. great setlist, alice is in great form. One of the standout parts i...
