I am of two minds. 1. I am glad that we are not oversaturated, ala AC/DC Back in Black. 2. I am sad that we don't see ANYTHING to pick from besides the crap that we've seen for years. I have said before that I find the selection from the "Official Store" to be substandard. Here's hoping that someon...

I guess I'm a bad fan. I had never heard of "Slicker..." until this thread. I checked it out on You Tube, and the performance is surprisingly good. The band members were unusual, so I had to look them up. Jefferson Kewley's guitar sounds remarkably good. I'd never heard of him until now. The things...

Since we are talking about that era, let's go back one album and discuss "Goes to Hell." This has always been W2MN to me. They even go as far as referencing Steven on the sleeve. Regardless, I think the album stands up pretty well. In the plus column, we have Alice doing some big vocal work, the in...

I bought the Trash hoodie also and it's pretty nice. i have had people stop me in the store wanting to know where they could get one.

This kind of goes with what I'm talking about. That Trash hoodie is completely sold out. I wonder why it's still listed with other stuff for sale? To rub it in?

This album has always been too much for me. Too much production, too many sounds, and Alice looked like he was channeling Randolph Mantooth . I remember joking with my friend Dave that they should have called it "Alice Cooper Goes to Hollywood." (I thought that was pretty clever for a 13 year old.)...

Seems like there was never a big change when the marketing/merchandise changed hands a while ago. Same old same old, as far as this discerning buyer is concerned. I have only ever paid for one thing through the official store, and it was not a stupid teddy bear. Hopefully, they are gearing up for s...

Hi Dennis. I hesitate to ask, because this is not band related, but here goes... Are you willing to share what you were doing when you learned about Kennedy's death? It's such a fascinating slice in time, and many people remember the exact moment they found out. My mom specifically remembered hangi...

Another grandpa here, although not as grumpy. (Well, maybe sometimes.) It has always irked me that these keyboard warriors are very loud when they’re protected by anonymity. My approach has only ever been, “don’t type anything that you wouldn’t say to their face.” Comedians who laugh at their own w...

Plus, why does everyone shoot the band from crowd level?

Presumably because if they were raised up the paying customers wouldn't be too happy seeing nothing but Cameras!

Another strong point. Were there elevated seats? I thought the crowd was all below the stage.

Brilliant blu ray, every second of Cons; festival set, “festival” camera coverage (many angels, not necessarily capturing the most important action Give us another one quickly please :) full set, and better directed :) Strong points. I thought also that it needed better/more planning. I imagine it ...

We were in a bar on Saturday in Asheville, NC, and they were blasting a great Zeppelin mix. I asked the guy at the bar what we were listening to, and he pulled out his phone and said "it's just Spotify." A while later, he must have gotten sick of Zep, because the music changed to 80's - 90's rock s...
