Re: "Road" - Reviews
The Stones album sounds very fresh. I can’t imagine too many Stones fans not liking it. That said, to me there’s not a lot of swagger with the album. Too many mid tempo / slow stuff for my taste. But I would be very curious to see what a producer like Watt could bring to the table.

Re: Alice's Band Mates: An Appreciation
I’m no drummer either but there is a very noticeable difference on W2MN between Mullins and Neal. To my ears Neal is much more of a rock drummer and a harder hitter on the drums. Sort of like comparing Buddy Rich to Sandy Nelson. Buddy was more big band sound and Sandy was a rocker. Comes down to pe...

Re: Alice's Band Mates: An Appreciation
Thankfully I don’t think Alice has had any real duds in his band. All very respected musicians. We might have our personal favorites but I’m unaware of any untalented hacks standing on stage with him. They all brought a little something to the table. One guy not mentioned yet who I truly like is Mik...

Re: Alice's Band Mates: An Appreciation
Always thought Orianthi was a great guitar player and wished she stayed with Alice longer and had the chance to write with him. I thought she was a more classic rock / blues based influenced player. She could rip it up when she had to but steady rock chops were her strengths. If the opportunity ever...

Re: "Road" - Reviews
I don't consider Road a 'failure' at all. Indeed, for me, it's Cooper's most enjoyable album since Brutal Planet . Stoopid, catchy, and back to basics - The Ramones built an entire career on that - it's a hoot. Simplistic lyrics? Well, so what; some of the best pop songs ever have those.And that's ...

Re: If You Could Interview Alice...
Im not sure what I would ask him because I’m pretty sure whatever he told me might change when somebody else asked him the same question. He does love to tell a good story.

Re: Hypothetical Question-Would You Be Okay With Another Heavy Alice Album
Brutal Planet was my favorite non original group album. Dragon Town sounded like leftovers. I’m not big on giving names to the different styles of rock. Call it heavy metal, hard rock, glam or industrial. I prefer 2 guitars, bass and drums and a serious case of attitude. When Alice does that he is a...

Re: Is Alice’s future outside the US and Canada?
I think that question applies to just about all hard rock bands these days. Seems Europe supports those bands more.

For a time period where he was struggling with addiction issues he seemed remarkably focused and relaxed.

Re: "Road" - Reviews
So the band and Alice were in the studio together. For at least part of the recordings. Sounds like the band members themselves were always in the recording process at the same time.

Re: Road in the charts
I’d much rather see a fresher set with newer material mixed in. Me too. Alice has an incredibly deep catalog of great songs to pull from; it's a shame that he doesn't play more of them. On top of that I think his live versions of songs are often better than the studio recordings. A good performance...

Re: Road in the charts
I’d much rather see a fresher set with newer material mixed in. He and the original group always said music comes first and then they can take it to another level on the stage. I guess that might not be the case as much lately. His live shows now are pretty predictable. Something I thought Alice Coo...

Re: Road in the charts
Looks like it’s not even in the top 200 anymore. Which is really sad since some of the stuff that made the charts are Journey’s Greatest Hits, a Queen release and an Elvis release. WTF ?

Re: Thoughts on Beasto Blanco
I like them a lot. Personally I think their first was the best. They are a very Rob Zombie sounding band. I look forward to anything they put out.

Re: Road in the charts
I have to say I’m rather surprised on how poorly the album showed on the charts. Especially as I posted earlier that on Pandora I heard 4 different cuts from the album when I hit play random hard rock songs. I’ve never heard that from any Alice album in its first week of release. Throw in the fact t...

Re: Road in the charts
Hard pass on all the guest musicians and song writers. That’s been a sore point with me. Like it or hate it Road seems more focused and the band is solid. Solid enough that most can’t distinguish some guest guitarist from a band number. As for the next album I’m pretty sure it’s with the original ba...
