Alice has completely lost the ability to write a good song. Once Vince flipped the switch and decided to be a "villian" instead of a legit musician everything has been sung as Snidley Whiplash instead of as the deranged lead singer of the Alice Cooper Group. Remember him? The Coop? You know....the ...

I haven't listened to any of the preview tracks yet but I may do so prior to June 9; if I do I'll post another comment in this thread with my thoughts on them. I too would love to see LITD and MOL similarly reissued; I don't know if/when it might happen but here's to hoping.

I've been reading a sample of the book on Amazon which starts at the beginning, and so far I've read up to right when John Tatum leaves The Spiders which is part way through Chapter 3. I agree with the positive comments above; yes, Michael does a great job of providing detailed info. from his partic...

Thanks for the updates/info. It's great to see this is finally being released. Now also bring on the KILLER 2cd and hopefully later a LOVE it to DEATH and MUSCLE of LOVE version. Yes, to have all 3 would be awesome. I think Killer could be the next one most likely to be released, if/when another ACG...

Thanks for the info. Crossing my fingers.

Ted

Thanks Babysquid for the thread and Dennis and Dannorama for your replies; this is the first time I've ever seen a breakdown of the song writing credits for PFY and EA, since (as noted in the OP) the 5 Members of the ACG have always been credited on all of the songs previously. I find it interesting...

The original idea was to have every song be about some form of a killer I have been wondering about this for some time! I couldn't find anything on this site confirming it though. So "Be My Lover" and "Yeah Yeah Yeah" are the only two that don't really fit that theme. I assume you loosened that the...

My sleuthin' days are over. Maybe Detective Sallis can figure it out. Sorry, I dragged my heels on listening to the song myself. Thanks for your attempts to solve the mystery, Dannorama and for providing the answer, Dennis. Re. Dennis' answer: that wouldn't be the first nor the last time a musician...

I'm going to listen to the song later and will see (or I should say hear) if I can find it.

Ted

^^ Thanks for the link with the 'upgraded' footage. The guy did a good job in syncing the audio, thereby improving the viewing experience a lot.

Ted

BTW, is there any info on the pre-Reflectex version of Elected? Last time I checked I don't think I could fund any info on the main site, but I could be wrong. It was floating around YouTube for awhile along with all those other ACG demos. It sounds like PFY-Era, but even rougher I recall listening...

A Ha - The Living Daylights

^^ This is my favourite JB song, but if the ACG's MWTGG had been selected for the corresponding film, it would be my favourite.

Ted

We're still waiting for a LITD and Killer anniversary release but I keep waiting. I would be looking forward to reissues of those 2 albums even more than SO and BDB but I haven't seen any announcements that they are also going to be re-released. I think Killer was the other album (in addition to SO...

The last I heard, the School's Out 50th Anniversary release that was supposed to happen last year had been postponed until this year. So yes, hopefully a worthwhile release to commemorate the album/song will happen in 2023. Although we've had a Deluxe Edition of BDB for 20+ years, this year is the 5...

^^ Thanks - hardly anyone else has determined or known the origin of my alias. To answer your question, no; I just thought the name was cool so I also used it as an alias when I was a musician (a very long time ago).

Ted

I like both albums, but both pale in comparison to the 5 albums that followed. Some of my favourite songs from them are Sing Low, Sweet Cheerio, Apple Bush, Changing Arranging, Mr. & Misdemeanor, Refrigerator Heaven and Lay Down and Die, Goodbye.

Ted

^^ Actually it's "Step into the street by sundown..."

Ted

Yeah i think it all depends on what sharon will let them do. When they reunited they had a clause where nothing can be released under the black sabbath name without ozzy , geezer, tony and bill on it. The only exception is if the material has previously already been released. so sadly i cant see us...

Speaking of Sabbath - I would love love LOVE to see Alice collaborate with Tony Iommi on something. Sabbath is dead, but I can't help but think Iommi has a couple of hundred monster riffs laying around just waiting for an opportunity to be put to use. Tony Iommi has been working on and off preparin...

I see someone's been 'revitalizing' some threads in this Forum from years past, great. I see that I never posted my own top 20 ACG songs here although I did make several other comments. My reason for not doing so might have been because I wanted to rank them in order but my order could change fairly...
