Re: School's Out - what a cracker!

brilliant. I am also a teacher at a pretty tough school in scotland that is for boys with behavioural and emotional problems. At last years open day, which is always the last day of school, the music teacher, who is a good pal of mine, finished with a rousing version of schools out. He finished with...

Re: Idiots in the Crowd

Many years ago I went to see the Clash at the Glasgow Barrowlands and as soon as the band came on they were covered in a barrage of spit! Joe Strummer stopped the gig through the first song which was 'London calling'. He told them "we're not here to be spit on, next time you see someone spit take yo...

Re: Pre-Order W2MN Fan Pack - UK

I'm with you james, some people just like to pick holes in every little thing. It put me off this forum for quite a while butjust when I thought it was safe my Alice addiction pulled back in. I thought you asked a very sensible question, just looking for clarity, which is a fine thing to look for on...

Re: Alice say's "You gotta play the hit's", but....

It has become fashionable for rock bands to re-visit the past, the who did the whole of quadrophenia for instance. The last tour I had someone coming who wasn't a big fan and told her to listen to Alice's greatest hits and the new album and she would know at least three quarters of the song's. I thi...

Re: Rock Hall Induction Performance

Elected would be a superb choice, as regards to interview technique not being one of the criteria, dah!!!! I'm not saying that it is but his great interviews, the fact that the media love him and ask him on their shows is one of the main reasons that he has stayed in the public eye for all these dec...

Re: Rock Hall Induction Performance

there are so many reasons why AC group has been voted in, the vanguard of theatrics, the great music, longevity, Alice's great interview technique and on...... just read on classic rock that Alice is organising some special dates with the original band.

Re: Rock Hall Induction Performance

just a sidenote, midler sang the excellent 'I never talk to strangers' with Tom Waits, so i would be very surprised if it wasn't her that presented waits, my money's on rob zombie. By the way has there been any more talk of the one off reunion gigs that Alice had mentioned, hopefully the induction w...

Re: The 'Alice' album...

Interesting thread, mmmm ok suppose it has to be From the Inside, although in an inverted snobbery I am a little put off because it is the album that non Alice fans love, if that makes any sense.

It's on the way

ok I am getting very excited now!!! Five dates added in November in France, surely this is the precursor of the announcement of the tour. And five dates for France would suggest that it is going to be a huge tour. Added to that, the comment Alice made a few weeks ago about making some special one of...

Getting the Vinyl back on.

My girl friend recently bought me a turntable, so I have got out all my old vinyls. It has felt like catching up with old friends. I have worked my way through the Alice collection. It has been amazing. Each time it took me back to how I got the Album. My first was greatest hits, which i borrowed of...
