Yea, I kinda wish he would have used more snarl and attitude on this one. It feels off.HORRORHOLIC wrote:The song doesn't really do anything for me. I don't care for Alice's vocals on this one.

Same here. First thing I did this morning was find it on iTunes. I had to dig, too. It was not featured on any of the opening pages (Main, Rock, Metal) and most annoyingly not yet found on the main Alice Cooper page. I finally found it after searching for "Paranoic." I can't get over how much this song rocks. I think Alice's voice is perfectly laid out here. He sounds like a snotty brat, which I love. Also, he's not way out in front, but more a part of the mix. This must be a lot of fun for the musicians to play. Love those classic rock breaks. (I think the drums are right on the mark, despite the automatic disregard for Larry Mullen that seems to be popular in this forum.) The production is tight, strong, and layered - there's something new each time you hear it - a signet of classic Ezrin. I think I'll go listen to it again.GailsFriend wrote:I laid down my $1.29 and bought the song today. It's 6:50am....and I couldn't be happier. Alice Cooper rules.
Blind devotion? That would be true if they had bought it without hearing it.guttertrash wrote:Alice and Ezrin thank you all for your blind devotion.

As it stands, you've single handedly posted at least 4 comments now slagging the single off. Do I detect that you're just an internet troll?
I'm tired of you repeating the same things over and over as if you're going to change anyone's mind.guttertrash wrote:I'm tired of this song being referred to something that it is not.
I have to question your point of view.guttertrash wrote:I'm tired of this song being referred to something that it is not. It is badly produced with a modern rock sound. The drumming is uninteresting...nothing creative at all about it. Boring. Glad they sound good to people, but there is nothing to listen to, and they are not very naturally produced at all.
Ezrin's production is complete modern rock crap. The tones and everything on this new single and W2MN is just not good. Everybody should listen to an organic sounding classic rock/garage rock inspired album before referring to this as either. These are all from the past decade., and as you can see a good producer can still get the proper sounds.

This is what music with a classic rock sound is like...not whatever ths unnatural sounding music is that Alice and Ezrin are making.
Now for garage rock...

Thanks for your reply/the info. and I agree that it would have been nice if it was one of the Good Records tracks that hasn't been released yet - if all of the unreleased tracks are with the ACG.RemarkablyInsincere wrote:It's the Good Records version with the original band.

You can hear on Spotify for free.

That was a statement. I don't want to ask you anything. I can see that you have a different point of view. I find it questionable, as in I disagree, but que sera sera. I don't think that you have the same social grace when it comes to your point of view being different than others. It is apparent that if you disagree with someone, then they are wrong. You picked a good handle.guttertrash wrote:Shoot...Dannorama wrote: I have to question your point of view.
You're favorite band has one good album.guttertrash wrote:Appetite for Destruction alone makes them my favorite band ever, and I have gone through 2 tapes and 4 cd of it, and I have 6 difference versions on vinyl.

It's unfortunate the haters are going to hate, but keep in mind a few things:
1. Glen Buxton has passed away, the ACG will never reunite properly. Alice has moved on and there's more to it than just the stuff from 71-73.
2. Alice is pushing 70. Granted father time has been good to Alice but even time takes it's toll. Be thankful that Alice doesn't sound like Paul Stanley live and still has a good voice and energy to do what he does.
3. Anyone remember a vocalist named Geoff Tate? If you want to look at badly produced songs and records then look no further. I especially recommend anything from Queensryche's 2003-2012's string of albums and his solo material. Now that's what I call bad rock music.
Seriously, get over yourselves. The song is good for what it is. For someone who's had a career for half a century, give the kid a break. For all we know this could be his last studio effort.
Be thankful for what you have.
