There was a time I thought that TEOAC was the worst album AC ever put out but then Dirty Diamonds was released and changed my mind.

So in a way I agree with the original poster, TEOAC>DD but it's a bit like preferring moldy cheese to moldy bread.

Rubin could be an interesting choice because he has two solid examples that I can think of in regards to revitalizing old careers (Johnny Cash, Metallica) and as far as him never working with someone "like Alice", well he's worked with artist like the aforementioned Cash and Metallica as well as Dan...

Anyone have any idea who this "surprising" new producer might be ?? Seems he kind of hinted to a special producer for ACAS but I guess that did not happen due to scheduling conflicts. IMO that could have made the difference from a good ACAS to a great ACAS. Think it might be the same guy ?? Who is ...

ACAS is a much better album to just do 1 song. I like seeing Nurse Rozetta, Guilty, The Awakening, DoY in the set and nice to see Feed My Frankenstein and Lost in America dropped. But doing SO twice is dumb imo. I'm disappointed, looks like Alice is a full blown nostalgia act.

With Alice's track record since BP, I actually do not get to excited to hear that he's coming out with a new album. While I would obviously love to hear about AC working with DD, MB and NS again, it would be no guarantee of a monster album. You would need an Ezrin type producer to get anywhere near ...

The lack of hugely successful Michael Bruce output post ACG has mystified me somewhat over the years. No doubting his input to the original bands music but I wonder if we need give credit to Uncle Bob here for perhaps teasing out and fashioning raw ideas into top quality stuff. Without Bob perhaps ...

A video by Wolfmother, White Unicorn, or something with Unicorn in the title, has kinda like black marker drarwn on people throughout the vid. At some point the Alice make up is drawn on a fan. And while not the make up, surely Slash on the bed holding the boa, has to be some sort of nod towards Ali...

I know about Alice's father being a man of god, but what I'm wondering about is when did Alice become born again and did that stop his drinking in its' tracks? I remember reading a small item in the entertainment section of the Toronto Star saying that "former shlock rock star Alice Cooper had becom...

I used to toy with the notion of Alice and Ace getting together in a sort of Tin Machine supergroup situation. I forget who I would have had on bass and drums, but I'd STILL pay real money to see these guys together on tour. You know it! How great would an Alice Cooper Group reunion be with Ace as ...

tsk tsk

Being bootlegged in the 70's meant you've arrived. True dat! I was puzzled by a comment in the Great White Wonder book when it said about Parricidal Slumbers, and I'm quoting from memory so it won't be accurate, "by Alice Cooper, an artist bootleggers usually avoid" they also included Rush in that,...

Manufactured Alice boots (esp. vinyl) are pretty much extinct, artifacts from a bygone era and getting them signed now isn't like getting them signed back in the seventies, when they were looked upon as some sort of threat and music thievery. But I think it would be in the poorest of taste to try an...

Being the "old fart" that I am (older than cds,that is), I have all on vinyl. Im not sure it would make sense today to rerelease all Alice on vinyl ... unless added special stuff were included. Im certain one could find all vinyl available if one wanted (Shoey ... which one ya need?) I would love t...

Apologies if it's been posted already, but how many copies of these are pressed?

I love the sound of this disc and am really looking forward to Killer as I think that disc will benefit even more than SO, from the Steve Hoffman treatment.

>too much Liza.

She only sings background vocals on two tracks.

Exactly!

And that's three songs too many

In a word - yes. I actually like MoL alot but it has weaknesses. My main problem with the album is too much sweetener (the horns) and too much Liza. This album would of benefited if it had a heavier feel and horns and female back up singers kill heaviness. I agree that HHA could of been epic, Woman ...

Hi, got today the following message from Amazon.UK : Dear Customer, We're still trying to obtain the following item[s] you ordered on 18 February 2009, 04:28 MET I'm living in the Netherlands, anyone else having problems getting it? eric When I ordered mine from amazon in Canada, it said 1 copy lef...

gp - you started off by suggesting I didn't understand the thread - I clearly did. Next you goon to correct my opinion about good bands/bad names. This didn't need tobe corrected - it's a matter of taste and opinion. I have nothing to apologize for. I felt I was once again being attacked/corrected b...

No one said it did. I hope you don't deny that it was a talking point though.

> Alice Cookies would of been just as good, provided they still recorded LITD, KILLER, SO and B$B.

No one denied that.

Excellent - I'm glad you agree with me

I agree with Gunner, it wasn't until Ezrin came along that things were headed in the right direction before that the name wasn't doing much for the band. And while there is a difference between "main" and "big" it all comes undeer the same umbrella - we're not drawing up a legal contract here. Alice...
