Along Came a Spider Sales Figures?

It has been a while since I have seen an update on the sales figures for ACAS? Does anyone have any idea what the album has sold so far? My guess is that figures are probably in the low to mid 20,000's in the United States.

I just could never get into KISS even during their heyday. They always seemed too much of a cartoon character for me. Musically I found everything they did to be too generic and simple. One of the great things about Alice is his lyrics. I used to get annoyed when people gave Pat Benatar credit for d...

I disagree about Ferguson's interview style. I think he is a great interviewer and is easily my favorite late night talk show host. Leno, on the other hand, I can't stand.

I definitely understand that. I am a golf fan so I am sure that played into my enjoyment of the book. I used his love of golf as a parallell to how he lives his life. However, I can certainly understand fans only caring about his rock and roll stories.

I agree glamprincess, my opinion was not intended as a shot against you. I simply was stating what I feel the intent of Alice's book is just as you voiced yours.

I think Wicked Young Man nailed it. LOL-If it was 450,000 people Alice played in front of, here's hoping everyone of them buy the new album. ;)

I have a slightly different take on Alice's Golf Monster biography. I realize many of you don't like golf or at least want there to be a separation between his hobby and his musical career. However, Alice's golf habits are one of the main reasons (in my opinion) Alice is still able to perform today....

Alice obviously stays very busy, so I think it is safe to say he doesn't sit around watching tv all day.. However, I recall seeing an interview with him several years ago (maybe ten, twelve years ago) where he said he had several televisions at his house. In other words, he probably watches more tha...

I have got to disagree with Jumping Jack as well. If anything, I hear people complain more about the fact that Alice plays golf everyday and doesn't seem "dangerous" anymore. Obviously I don't agree with that, but it seems like fans want MORE theatrics as whole, not less. Let's consider this decade....

It is frustrating to me as well, but what each of you have said is correct. AC/DC is still a huge band, while unfortunately Alice has a much smaller following these days. Of course, one of the reasons why Alice is not still huge today is due to LACK OF AIRPLAY. It always shocks me when people don't ...

Gold and Platinum Albums In Canada

There has been a lot of discussion on how many albums Alice has sold in his career? Unfortunately there is no real way of knowing that. Even the RIAA site which list gold and platinum album sales in the United States is not really accurate. Certain albums that probably should have been recertified n...

I was reading through this thread and I think everyone made valid points as to why Hey Stoopid did not sell nearly as well as Trash. I have always loved the Hey Stoopid album. One thing, I don't think anyone has mentioned yet is the failure of the Operation:Rock N Roll Tour with bands like Alice, Ju...
