Re: Prologue/ i know where you live
Can't really tell if it's Sheryl or not. If it is Sheryl I'm surprised she's not credited anywhere on the album (including the Thanks section).

Re: Thoughts On And Ranking The New Album
Like I said before, I don't mind the song. I'm not offended by it. I'm not gonna stop listening to Alice or stop liking Alice. GAG itself is harmless and fun. It might be a tad ignorant but it isn't mean-spirited. And yeah, just looking at the lyrics it's kinda empowering. But it's not just a song. ...

Re: Genuine American Girl
MAC is a make-up brand so it's a continuation of the previous line about smeared make-up. And yes I would argue that if you just look at the lyrics themself the character singing can be a woman (cis or trans), a man, neither or in between. In the end of the day if one believes in "the death of the a...

Re: Thoughts On And Ranking The New Album
So I've been thinking about GAG for a while and I have to talk serious about it for a moment. I'm trans, I'm queer and I'm an Alice fan. And Alice to me has been hit and miss when he used queerness/trans/crossdressing as a lyrical subject. It's certainly been handled as something that is weird and f...

Re: Alice on Eddie Trunk Sirius XM Show this Friday
I saw Marilyn Manson back in 2007 and he announced on stage that they were filming that night's show for a DVD - ten years later and nothing's happened. BUT it wasn't a lie, the cameras were there filming the show, it's just that for some reason or other it was never released. Sometimes things are p...

Re: How would you recreate the Paranormal Cover Art?
I think the cover would have looked better if there had been a glitch between the two heads. Like they two different dimensions of Alice in the same place glitching together rather than a single two-headed Alice. Otherwise I dont mind it. I quite like the whiteness of it, makes it stand out.

Re: Steve Lukather - From The Inside
In the liner notes on the vinyl there are both the categories musicians and guest players with Steve Lukather and Dick Wagner being the only guitarists in the first category. To me that suggest he was regular on the album.

Re: Bob Ezrin-Past, Present And Future
The Kiss thing is correct in that bob wanted to do psycho circus but didn't have time. I think if he did he could have made something at least approaching good. the destroyer reimagined or whatever they call it, is the same album, reproduced with some different guitar lines here and some different ...

Re: Top Ten ( Worst ) Tracks
Ubangi Stomp. He should have been locked up for that one. Horrible. The trouble is Ubangi Stomp keeps the company of Damned if you Do and No More Love in Your Public Convenience. Its a bit like a government releasing bad news on a day of other negative stories. Alice Cooper is my favourite artist/b...

At least this time most of the lyrics appears to be changed and not just a line or two.

Re: Thoughts On And Ranking The New Album
The only difference between GAG and YALOYF is that Michael played on those. He's on 'Rats' as well. In fact they all are. Not sure why they are advertising it as just two original band tracks unless the credits on the album are wrong. I'm guessing because those two were the only ones that were both...

Re: Thoughts On And Ranking The New Album
I think at least part of the reason is that much of the album is recorded while the band are actually out on the road and so not available to Ezrin. I *THINK* the way it generally works is that Alice and Bob (and Tommy?) get together and listen to the demos of the songs under consideration, includi...

Re: Tour 2017!
Don't know if it's a new change or if it's been so the last couple of shows but last night in Stockholm Paranoiac Personality had now taken Escape's old place in the setlist after Only Women Bleed.

Re: [Spoiler] Obscure Song Coming Out at Wacken
There is no such thing as the trilogy. It is just a fan made up thing. Really? I don't know if Alice himself ever called it a trilogy but three songs following each other all about a woman named Gail (There's a whisper of Gail at about 2:10 in RoWL), also always played in album order on the "Live I...

Re: More tracks to hear...
Must say, I like the tracks a lot so far. I liked Paranoiac Personality overall but these sound better. I'm pleasantly surprised that the lyrics to "Genuine American Girl" doesn't seem to be that jokey or transphobic, with the only real joke being that it's a man singing them. It just seems like a s...

Re: millie and billie question
Well, it's Alice's voice calling for Millie. I remember reading something about how it's supposed to be Billie being in another room and watching Millie get lobotomized through the window. Hence the buzzing drill/saw sound at the end. Can't remember where I read it though and if it was just speculat...
