Re: ACG

I don't think it would generate a successful response, but I do wonder legally if it would be out of the question. Alice has continued paying royalties over the years for the use of the name, because he does not own the rights to the name. This little nugget of information just popped up again rece...

Re: Interesting (from Popoff book)

I would think that someone who claims to be a full Alice Cooper fan would be upset by this stuff ( Where was ANYTHING related to the 50th Anniversary? ), but it appears protecting 'the man' and his current path is your first commitment. Understandable, I suppose. :( Bob It's still hard for you to b...

Re: Interesting (from Popoff book)

Glad people like the “energy” the new band brings to the music, but the new band plays the music in a way that is just stiffer in the rhythm section. It reminds me of Axl saying that he had recorded a new Appetite For Destruction as a means to get the Chinese Democracy band rehearsed for those songs...

Re: Interesting (from Popoff book)

It’s just not feasible in my opinion. I could see them doing a residency type thing in Las Vegas or a three night stand type gig in one city on the East coast and one on the West coast. If it went over, you could schedule another weekend in a different region. The biggest concern, I feel with promot...

Re: Vampires Who's Laughing Now?

I feel like Del is right in the essence that people were more receptive to the reboot of Alice with The Nightmare Returns, because it gave a new generation the old Alice style with an updated presence. This merely kept him afloat though in reality, because those albums didn't sell a ton, and his con...

Re: Vampires Who's Laughing Now?

Interesting song. There is a stiff, plodding element that I dislike that seems to lie in the rhythm section, but I am much more surprised by it then I expected. Even though I still think there is too much low-end muddying the overall sound, I find this much more likable than the recent Ezrin outings.

Re: 4 new albums announced

AliceFan, The Alice Cooper group, Ted Nugent, Bob Seger, and all of the Detroit scene was inspired by R n' B especially Motown since it was Detroit's R n' B label just as The Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart and the Faces, Creedence Clearwater, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc. were influenced by R n' B and the blues...

Re: 4 new albums announced

I will definitely not get back into complaining about that album which I did plenty of during it’s release. I’m also not at all asking for it to sound like a 70s album, but if it is produced like Paranormal instead of say Eyes or Dirty Diamonds, the Detroit element will pretty much be lost.

Re: 4 new albums announced

The "Detroit sound" mention in theory should be exciting to my ears, but Alice promised a "Killer" album last time around which in my opinion was meant as a nod back to that sound, but Paranormal was delivered instead, so I'm not getting my hopes up this time around. Would be awesome if he'd work wi...

Re: New Kane Roberts and Alice material 2019

I can't say I was shocked by how bad this album was, since the only thing I have ever found worth listening too that he was a part of was Raise Your Fist And Yell, and his guitar excess actually weakens that album to me with it's overblown tastelessness.

i'd pay decent money to see Alice w/ The Donnas.
Absolutely! They were a great rock n’ roll band. Bands like Halestorm are a dime a dozen. It’s pop music with a heavier tone, still the same generic modern songwriting style that is being pushed in all genres.

Re: ‘Ol black eyes is back Tour

Not getting a whole Alice show even if it is almost all of it along with two other bands that shouldn’t even be on the same stage as Alice, is not my idea of fun. I’d be happier to pay these prices for Alice alone as it has been in the U.S. mostly.

Re: Alice Coopergroup - Record Store Day release

I got one today at my local record store in Birmingham, AL for $32. They only had the one, but I was able to find one for my dad on ebay for $45.

I also agree with Dada. They did a great job on the whole package.

Make sure it is the full concert version which comes out in November and not the original two song version also.

Re: Alice Coopergroup - Record Store Day release

If you really want it, you should definitely buy it. It’s not going to get any cheaper unless you find a less than pristine copy down the road a bit.

Re: Alice Coopergroup - Record Store Day release

My point is that people are buying enough digital and physical copies to get Alice in the charts. Digital music does not equate to a free downloading bonanza. Free copies of music do end up in people’s hands, but it is generally started with a CD and once the album is released digital copies get sha...

Re: Alice Coopergroup - Record Store Day release

Also much of the time, an album leaks before it is released by a week or so which means that the original leak generally stems from a physical copy (generally a CD) that was given away for promotional purposes or somebody from a store getting a copy in advance and ripping it and then uploading it to...
