Re: Rise - First reviews

Regarding Tommy. Lets be honest he's on to a good thing here. Joint writing credits on an album with Cooper, Perry and Depp whilst also producing it. It's only going to enhance his music production career. He also has a spoken part on Congratulations along with Alice, Joe and Johnny. Not a bad gig ...

Re: Unreleased Dick Wagner/Alice Cooper Songs

I see Maryann Cotton refereed to this, along with a photo of him and Alice, in a recent Facebook post: "Can’t wait for everybody to hear the songs you and Dick Wagner wrote for me!" I guess you could call him the ultimate Alice Cooper tribute act. Soldier Boy is his version of Wind Up Toy, It's All ...

Re: MEET AND GREETS

Does anyone know if M&G people will get early access to the standing Brighton show? The AEG website says they get a 'P1 General Admission Concert Ticket' whatever that is. I'm planning on queuing up early like I usually do for general admission shows, but it would be good to know if it will be worth...

Re: We love you Alice Cooper book

It does look like it exists, although I'll respectfully keep my opinion about it to myself:

Re: ACG

No please no. It just cheapens the branding of the name when you start having "Neil Smiths Alice Cooper Group" or "The Alice Cooper Group and..." or whatever route that could go down. I agree, something similar has happened with Saxon whereby there is a 'Saxon' and also an 'Oliver Dawson Saxon'. Th...

Re: New Sealed TLT Cassette Tape & Comic 4-Sale

I recall buying issues 2 and 3 from a comic shop in Salisbury, but can't remember how far apart the purchases were spaced. I didn't release that there were 2 versions of issue 1 until a number of years later. The 2014 and 2015 hardback compilations by Dynamite were really good. I managed to get both...

Re: ‘Ol black eyes is back Tour

How about Titanic Overture being used as a curtain raiser, possibly with a brief voice-over? Don't think that's too much of a stretch and at a high volume it would sound great. Also means they can tick off an obscure track before they get started. Agreed, it's always been the first track on my Alic...

Re: VIP got VERY expensive?

Hopefully Blue Coupe comes over to the UK this year and I can catch him then. He seems like a nice guy as well. I'm hoping Dennis will come back to the UK too. Crazy to think that last time round you could meet him and Cindy, pose for photos and get a copy of his book dedicated to you for about £15...

Re: ‘Ol black eyes is back Tour

Taking the kids this year so unlike last year I am happy with my mediocre positioned tickets in both cost and seating area. But yeah Best available was clearly not offering best available. As stated above, it is also crazy that some of the 'premium packages' are seemingly offering you worse seats b...

I should also add, I nearly gave up when I first selected 'Best Available' and was offered a pair of tickets towards the back and to the side.
Me too, initially I got offered Row A and I thought great! But then realised is was Row A of the balcony :nono:

I got block B row A for Manchester and Birmingham. I take it this is front row for both unless they do row AA etc?
Fair play if you did manage to score front row on a standard ticket. I thought I did well getting Row 4 in Cardiff (Block 2, Row D).

Re: Greatest Hits on vinyl in 2019

Odd that this is being released seeing as Greatest Hits was also re-issued on vinyl less than 2 months ago. Then again, we also had 2 re-issues of From The Inside within a week in October!

Absolutely! With such a long and diverse career covering 2 very defined eras (and then eras within these eras) it is entirely expected that not everyone will get excited by every new song or release.

I just find it silly when the voice is talking to or about Alice in the third person Alice is never known to do that :) Yeah but there's a difference between Alice as a private person talking about the character Alice and Alice in character as some one else talking to Alice.

Re: Another 3 RHINO rocktober vinyl releases

From those photos it looks like Music on Vinyl did the better job with the front of the FTI sleeve - the doors meet in the middle (Rhino seems to have a gap) and the colour looks higher res and most like the original whereas the Rhino looks a bit washed out. I think the Rhino release is closer to t...

Take the packaging of Rhino and the vinyl from Music on vinyl and you've got the perfect match.
