Lot of Originals
There will be lots of news about the Original Alice Cooper band members in the last few months of this year. We've already had the B$B reunion in Danbury, CT. Dennis will be in London (with Alice?) for the showing of the movie ''Live from the Astroturf'' and ''Cold, Cold Coffin''. Dennis and Michael will be together in Hollywood on October 14 and the another full reunion of the surviving ACG members at the Xmas Pudding show in December.

They may spend enough time together to work up a concept for a full Lp!
Here's hoping that we have an ACG Lp in the works.
I'd pay for a "Live At The Astroturf" DVD & would enjoy "Cold, Cold Coffin" as a "Bonus"!
Included in the package should be a CD (or download) of both performances!
I would also wish to see a DVD of the "Ol' Black Eyes Is Back" tour.
Is that too much too ask?

Re: Lot of Originals
Glad to see them keeping busy. Some paying gigs with Alice in the U.S. Would be nice! Pesky promoters I guess.
Re: Lot of Originals
Dennis was at Brighton tonight looking as young and energetic as ever for 'School's Out'!
Expect he will be in London as well

Re: Lot of Originals
Much as I love the idea I can't see Alice doing a a full album with the guy's I can't see it. Breadcrumbs was the perfect time to work with the guy's, an album based on early Detroit rock. If it didn't happen then it's not going to happen,barring the odd song and guest appearance.

I doubt Breadcrumbs took more than a few days to record. I could see Alice recording a full band album if it is his farewell album. It would make sense to come full circle.

I now believe that to be true. As for the reason(s) why, I can only speculate....perhaps simply a forward looking mentality, maybe a learned business acumen, or a little fear, or regret, of the past. Who really knows?

The past is always in the rearview mirror, but, it's wise to spend most of your time looking at the world through the windshield.

Re: Lot of Originals
I see Cold Cold Coffin will be on YouTube on the 26th. I'm not sure what to expect but I will give it a watch.
Re: Lot of Originals
Would you like to speculate on what those fears or regrets might be?Cold Room wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 4:46 pmA brilliant and humorous man, who use to post here under the cognomen of AMUK, once said, and I quote, "Alice never looks back."pitkin88 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 13, 2019 7:52 pmdadascot wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2019 9:44 pmMuch as I love the idea I can't see Alice doing a a full album with the guy's I can't see it.

Also, since you are tight with DD, NS, and MB perhaps you may want to ask them. Are they not happy with the current state of things between they and Alice?
Re: Lot of Originals
In answer to your question of what my speculations would be of regrets from the past Alice might have…..as I stated, “who really knows?”. Guesses could run the gambit from regrets of missed financial opportunities, to friendships and loves forgotten and lost, to embarrassing personal miscues and blunders that Alice/Vince made as a young man. Of course, with your particular axe to grind you’d want me to bring up some real or imagined regret Alice has concerning the breakup of the original band and how his past haunts him for taking the band’s name and dumping his long time friends and band mates under the direction of a money-hungry manager and a self-serving producer. (Is THAT what you wanted to hear? ) However, since I know Alice’s mind and self doubts no better than you do….I will stick with my original statement of “who really knows?”mr.barlow wrote: ↑Fri Oct 18, 2019 1:52 pmWould you like to speculate on what those fears or regrets might be?Cold Room wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 4:46 pmA brilliant and humorous man, who use to post here under the cognomen of AMUK, once said, and I quote, "Alice never looks back."

LOL. If you want to talk to someone who is really “tight” with DD, NS, and MB….I suggest you talk to your pal ‘’AMUK’’. I have not seen or talked to Neal or Michael since April. And I think I talked to Dennis twice on Facebook. LOL. Keep stirring.

Re: Lot of Originals
Cold Cold Coffin is marvellous, both sonically and visually (especially in a theatre). Well worth checking out on release date although Kickstarter supporters have been given access to view it early this weekend!
Re: Lot of Originals
Alice has stated on an interview posted here a few days ago that he has been writing with Dennis and is waiting for songs coming from Neal and Micheal. So fingers crossed.
Re: Lot of Originals
It's in 'the Montgomery advertiser' interview on the home page.

You and I tend to disappear for extended periods, Pitkin. Glad to be back.
