I think Fresh Blood could sound good with the three guitar line up

Blabbermouth very rarely give bad reviews. Not saying that the reviewer didn't enjoy the album mind.

Very much in agreement about the essential songs. I've long thought that there's only really 4-5 essentials (18, School's Out, Nice Guy, Poison, probably Feed My Frankenstein), so if you did them, along with 5-6 others from the pack of well received songs (eg Dwight Fry, Under My Wheels, B$B, Nightm...

Haven't read the album lyrics - any songs about having the hotel room next to Glen Sobel's and having to put up with him constantly practicing drums?

The Last Temptation was a real slow burner for me. I thought it was a bit sluggish when I first heard it, and the hooks just weren't jumping out at me. It gradually unfurled after a few listens though, and now it's my favourite solo album. Goes to Hell was another one. I always enjoyed it, but ranke...

Yeah, liking this one a lot. My favourite of the three singles so far. Good hook in the chorus. Great job by the band with this song.

Going by social media posts, it looks like we'll get Welcome to the Show this week. This is one of the songs written by the touring band.

Just clicked that the chorus melody is the same as Cherry Pie.

Just listened using a VPN - I like it more than I'm Alice. It's got a decent groove and a simple, catchy chorus. Could see this being a pretty good live song.

I think that kills the unrealistic hope I had of any UK dates any point this year (unless there's a replacement for Nita again). Guess I'll be booting up the VPN in a little while for the song though.

Is that when Alice's radio show airs? Perhaps they want it to play on there on release day? Songs being available on days other than Friday isn't something too unheard of these days (I can't think of any specific examples unfortunately, but there's been a few metal bands that I'm sure have done Wedn...

Is that the picture between the two buses? If yes, how can you tell it's a drawing? Looks like a photo to me, but maybe I'm missing something.

White Line Frankenstein will be the next song released, going by social media. You can pre-save songs on streaming services, but I'm unsure if they give date it'll be available.

They've been playing Road Rats in the lead up to the start of the HV gigs. I loved the original but it's of its time. A reworking would hopefully sharpen it up. IMO Road Rats is a timeless rock song. I’m sure the band will do it justice and leave their mark on it. I just hope there isn't some chang...

I actually really like Grande Finale

Yeah, great track. Really wraps the album up nicely.

I'd be interested to see what the three guitar line up could do with this live. Put it in the slot where the band jams on stuff like Devil's Food / Black Widow.

I think there's a lot of great closers to pick from solo wise. I think both Escape and Going Home are really good songs closing out top records. My God, Pass the Gun Around, Wind Up Toy, Zombie Dance, Cleansed By Fire I think are all fantastic. He's Back and Cold Machines aren't too shabby either. A...

Andrew Watt... God no. Those new Ozzy albums are terrible from both a production and song writing stand point (although I'm aware Watt wasn't the sole song writer)

Listening again this morning, I like it a little more. The chorus could do with a more solid beat, (although I guess that's the payoff for the final chorus). I can't help but think of Space Pirates when I hear the vocals (especially the first few verses).

I feel like the song doesn't know what it wants to be, vaudeville-esque intro material or standard hard rock song. It's the vocal that's giving me this sort of feeling. It's a bit all over the place, like there's a few different vocal approaches that don't really gel together. It's not wowing me on...

So the touring band has at least four credits each, with Roxie getting an additional one on the opener. From googling, K Marcello I assume is Kee Marcello who used to play guitar for Europe. Evan Magness worked with Kane on a few songs for his last solo album, including one Alice sang on. There may ...
