Provide me a vip meet and greet and I'll say it to her face. I know a few Alice world people who would like to have a few words with her too.mr.barlow wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2023 4:59 pm[quote=del post_id=316850 time=<a href="tel:1698647265">1698647265</a> user_id=3824]

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 wit are boring AF.

So, what’s the few words then?
How dare you do what you have presumably been asked to do as part of your contract I.e. dress in a certain style, play in a certain style and act in a manner which adds energy to the show, entertains the crowd and potentially brings in some more punters?
How dare you ask for and be granted more money presumably by Shep for coming back to the fold after Demi Lovato and how dare Shep and Alice decide not to retain Kane instead?
How dare you look good?
How dare you try and build your own career?
She is a hired gun.Surely, after 50+ years of managing, Shep can or could have had a word with her or are Shep and Alice blinded by her talents, in awe of her personality and outflanked by her superior negotiating skills.

The first rule of being in a band. "Watch your back".

I think Nita is the most successful aside from Alice himself. She was the first female to have a signature Ibanez, she’s often recognized as one of the best guitar players out there, aways getting on top of the lists of beat/most influencial. Her album did get a good recognition and she can surely pull out any gig that’s thrown at her. She has stablished her name on her own and not as just a hired gun for Alice.
As long as Alice wants her in the band, she’s not going away. Any bad feeling or gossip ou anything that *may* be surrounding her is innocuous and, dare I say, smells as resentment to me. But, if anything is going to happen, I don’t think it is going to be a career breaker for her.
As for Kane. I like him, a lot. Would love for him to come back. As he said, he stick out as a sore thumb on the first shows, but if anything permanent is planned, he’ll have plenty of time to adjust.
To say he deserves it… I don’t think he does anymore than most of the musicians that have come and gone on Alice’s band. They are all pros, who never drew bad blood towards Alice, so as a profession, doesn’t the all deserve to be back?
