Fantasic to see the creative process .....so many awesome sketches -
Pic 9:Box Construction ...wow, no wonder the box is going to be the price it is ..that is a serious amount of design and ingenuity ....thanks so much for sharing Ernie

"I'll bite you face off" is a bit too obvious as a lyric for my taste..reminds me of the 70s goodies episode which mentioned Alice in the charts with a horrible song title..so its a bit of a self parody for me..it does sound stonesy to me but thats live and I guess it could be reworked if recorded ...

Re ;>- most other artists are far more forthcoming Not always, actually. I'm the new guy here so Im certainly not intending to fuffle any feathers......but here goes....... I've ordered the box ....because i'm a massive fan and don't want to miss out ......will I be gutted if it goes on Amazon for h...

I'm wondering if the DVD in the box will ever be available in BluRay ..... Or is the poor quality of the source material the deciding factor ???

I'm not a big fan of "funny " adverts ... But that WAS funny ..... Thanks

I'd forgotten that connection with RTB......so i've just played back some pre-1980 Cars songs .....how could I have not noticed the similarities !!! ...

I take it that the material he wrote with Joe Perry was unused , as the two tracks from MONSTER DOG were credited to Alice alone,with no co-writer

That's funny because I was way into Devo at the time I picked up Flush The Fashion, recall thinking the same thing.

Yeah , and when he name checked DEVO on Dance Yourself To Death , it seemed to confirm some kind of influence.

I've always loved FTF. It's a great mix of good tunes, a sense of humor, and biting social commentary, something he really didn't nail again until BP twenty years later. It reflected the paranoia of the times (Nuclear Infected, Aspirin Damage) while proving to be somewhat prophetic as well. I remem...

Hi, my first real post ...so go easy folks . I bought FTF the day it was released and was really looking forward to From The Inside Part2 , which was probably still sitting on my turntable worn out/played to death ..... I still remember sitting in a Chinese Restaurant scouring the sleeve ...couldn't...

Ernie , I've been meaning to start posting on SICKTHINGS for a long time now, as i've been reading it every day for years ......So I cannot think of a better first post than to say thanks to you for all the work you have done with Alice all these years ....Those sleeves should be hanging in an art g...
