In all fairness some songs here and there is not the same as making a full album. I do, once again, have high hopes. I don't have any expectations. They've done more than just a couple of songs together in the last years and i wasn't blown away from them. When hell comes home - it's nice, dark but ...

Because it's a country, like England, France, Italy and the USA are countries. Why shouldn't it have one? I don't remember ever hearing of it growing up. That's your poor education then. :teach: Hoots Mon! I bet you've got lots of cuttings you exchanged with Amuk from back in the day revealing the ...

No disrespect to the Jocks but why does Scotland need an album chart? Because it's a country, like England, France, Italy and the USA are countries. Why shouldn't it have one? I don't remember ever hearing of it growing up. So what's it take to get to Number One there 500 copies? Is there a Welsh c...

UK charts for the second week #5 - rock albums #6 - independent albums #12 - album sales #12 - physical album sales #15 - Scottish albums chart #61 - album downloads Fallen out of the top 100 of the official chart. Coming up short on the streaming side, as we all know. No disrespect to the Jocks bu...

Nita Strauss on the release of 'Road' The writing and recording process was completely different than any other album I’ve ever been a part of, and it was an amazing learning experience. The music was recorded in the round - all five band members in a circle in the same room, playing live together....

C'mon they got a fair shake here. They could always do an album together without Alice. Bit like what SAHB did. I have to disagree. I've been listening to Nita's new solo album, and some Beasto Blanco stuff and I'm not really hearing anything that reminds me of them on Alice's album. There are some...

I still wonder what a real collaboration with the touring band would sound like. I guess we'll never know now.

When Hell Comes Home is a very good tune but it is actually the only original band tune in the last 20 years that I think is a really really strong track, the others not nearly as much and there are several songs in the last 20 years that I like better that it is a good one. I am not sure that the ...

It was reported that in Aug 2022 some of the original members recorded 14 new tracks for an upcoming reunion album in Stanford Connecticut.

Might as well sell them at the shows.

The Stones who have been very suspect creatively for the past few decades have just released a kick ass song from their forth coming record. Be serious, it's just another bog standard Stones song that could be from any of a dozen other Stones albums! They can do this stuff in their sleep - or at le...

Some good insights here as one of the presenters interviewed the studio owner and one of the musicians.

No, not a Glen song title but this: July 1971 Findlay, OH, Green Mill Gardens (Michael Bruce absent as he was in hospital in Detroit with bad ulcers). I was browsing through the timelines and it got me wondering: A) Do you remember this? B) Did you just play with Glen on guitar or did someone else f...

Guessing Wayne Kramer will be on the track ( paying tribute ) to himself and whoever played on the Road track. The Great Zal Cleminson is on the album which is unusual as I thought he had retired years ago. Another Alice Cover...... You a fellow SAHB fan? I wonder how many of those are on here? I t...

This review pretty much sums up how I feel about the album. https://brutallyhonestrockalbumreviews.wordpress.com/2023/08/30/album-review-alice-cooper-road/ The waffle introduction aside I tend to agree and he hits on a lot of the points made in this forum. 1) Generic sounding tunes. 2) The Road the...

They are a funny lot here so who knows.

Most of Coopers stuff is well recorded (thanks Bob). Maybe Return of the spiders. It has the Coop vibe, but just seems like a lost song

Agreed.

I'm not sure what to say about the drumming, its a decent hot for teacher, but hardly earth shattering. Its perfectly fine and he has good control, and he could be good for a lesser band. But his drumming just doesn't seem to have any flair. Just very pedestrian - granted this may be what alice wan...

You Look Good in Rags: The gun cocking noises and "rags rags rags" section are inexcusable additions to a song that never would be a top 10 hit but was probably good enough to get some mainstream rock airplay. It would still need to be remixed, too.

It was a big hit for Blondie.

Another Alice Cover...... Alice paying tribute to a band he knew personally and shared the stage with at the start of his career, on someone else's album. Seriously, what gives? Just ignore him. His negativity is tiring. Will you be ignoring the rest of the crowd constantly bitching about covers th...
