LITD was the first LP I got. I had the Schools Out single but that was the only single I ever had. I was in the 8th grade and took the SO single to the roller skating rink (where jr.high school kids hung out) for the DJ there to play. After the first minute or so everyone was skating so much faster ...

"Alice Cooper Crazies--now is your chance to live a dream. Be a part of Alice's road crew. For only $2,000.00 you can be a bonafide member of the legendary Road Rats. After the show, you will be taken ON STAGE by a member of the crew and given your own authentic Alice Cooper broom! You will then as...

Well, interesting read so far. Lot's of valid points made. As far a social commentary goes let's wait until after November and see if either Trump or Cruz get's elected prez and if so, then the material will write itself.

Alice Bowie from 1974.

Dave's not here man.

I'm of the opinion that anything Alice or the guys have done either together or in their own projects since around 2000 is pretty much all just gravy. Sure some of it is really good and some is not. But these guys have been around 40+ years and as we all know that's pretty damn remarkable. Especiall...

Hmmmm. Interesting that there's quite a bit of backlash to this. I really like the HV's take on the songs on the CD and the show in RIO , despite a couple of minor miscues I thought was great. I believe at this stage in the career Alice is just trying to have as much fun as he can. Whether it's play...

I checked to see if the writing credit went to Paul Stanley.

(also a joke)

It's the "chicken or the egg" argument depending on your point of view. Was the Alice Cooper phenomenon a mirror on society just reflecting what was going on? Or was it a signpost that pointed the direction of what lay ahead? I've personally never seen a good in-depth study myself. I was hoping when...

"saw a Dead Head sticker on a Cadillac"
Henley's point was the 60's generation sold out.
When my wife and I step out of our Mercedes Benz and we're both wearing Alice Cooper T-shirts it shows that we didn't sell out...we bought in from the get-go.

From MrD Returns: "It could also be argued that they paved the way for "Reaganomics" in the US and "Thatcherism" in the UK." While I agree with almost everything in your post, I don't think they "paved the way" - I think it was more a reflection on what was already happening, or to be even more acc...

I think it's a fairly accurate analogy. Except for the implied lack of substance on both parties. In the American political arena there is very little to choose from that inspires even the least amount of excitement. Trump appeals to that lowest common denominator of the AWM's (angry white men) and ...

Aside from the fact that I don't have spare change much less spare millions, my involvement would only guarantee a flop.

FTI is really good but I agree that it's way over-produced.
Nightmare on the other hand is a masterpiece. I don't think I would go as far as to say that it was ahead of it's time but it did give a lot of his contemporaries whiplash concerning the direction it took the overall rock scene at the time.

MrD Returns: "I've always thought there certainly is enough material in the AC catalogue to put together a cohesive show for broadway." It could be argued that the "Welcome To My Nightmare" show and the next two shows were a form of Broadway show. Seems I remember one of those "Ask Alice" videos wh...

I thought the conversations with Sheryl were more interesting too. Just because I don't see that much from her as far as interviews go. Most of the time, like Alice , she sticks to the story on the same questions over and over again. A little more insight here.

The album sucked but the commercial was kinda funny.

I've always thought there certainly is enough material in the AC catalogue to put together a cohesive show for broadway. I don't believe I would want Alice in it though.

I for one reason or another don't have this one in my collection although I've heard most of the songs. Yeah I like it ok. I think Poison is a really good song. As far as this forum is concerned I see why so many don't like it but obviously many others did because it sold like a gajillion copies. Fo...

I wrote in "Kenny Rodgers and the First Edition".
got my fingers crossed for them.
