Why actually yes, a really good one too..

In matching blue raincoats
Our shoes were our show boats
We kicked around.
From stairway to station
We made a sensation
With the gadabout crowd.
And oh, what a bargain,
We're two easy targets
For the old men at the off-tracks,
Who've paid in palaver
And crumpled old dollars,
Which we squirreled away
In our rat trap hotel by the freeway.
And we slept-in Sundays.

Your parents were anxious,
Your cool was contagious
At the old school.
You left without leaving
A note for your grieving
Sweet mother, while
Your brother was so cruel.
And here in the alleys
Your spirits were rallied
As you learned quick to make a fast buck.
In bathrooms and barrooms,
On dumpsters and heirlooms,
We bit our tongues.
Sucked our lips into our lungs
'til we were falling.
Such was our calling.

And here in our hovel we fuse like a family,
But I will not mourn for you.
So take off your makeup
And pocket your pills away.
We're kings among runaways
On the bus mall.
We're down
On the bus mall.

Among all the urchins and old Chinese merchants
Of the old town,
We reigned at the pool hall
With one iron cue ball
And we never let the bastards get us down.
And we laughed off the quick tricks--
The old men with limp ...
On the colonnades of the waterfront park.
As 4 in the morning came on, cold and boring,
We huddled close
In the bus stop enclosure enfolding.
Our hands tightly holding.

But here in our hovel we fuse like a family,
But I will not mourn for you.
So take off your makeup
And pocket your pills away.
We're kings among runaways
On the bus mall.
We're down
On the bus mall.
We're down
On the bus mall.
Down on the bus mall.
Oh ooh oh...

I am persuaded that you like that album.

Here is some facts:
Welcome 2 My Nightmare has been played over 60 times on my iPod.

Michael, Neal and Dennis and Alice all had a good time making the album...

Bob Ezrin did a great job producing the album...

and Steve Hunter kicks ass on his solos.

No one even considered Parish's opinion on anything....

I agree with everything you said except the initial sentence which should have been, "Here are some facts"

>Not at all...

Give me at least one name then.

>Its the same scenario here in the US with Republican officials. Don't rock the boat = keep YOUR job. Its all about whats best for them and not the country/product.

That's a poor attempt at deflecting. I couldn't care less about "Republican officials" - either you name the people you're referring to or you don't and if you don't, your statement has no credibility.

>but that doesnt mean his records should reflect a complete lack of danger or bite like his earlier records had and his fame was created from...

Who is 'dangerous' that is currently performing and recording?

Who are you J Edgar Hoover or Mike Francesa?

Again, are you in Alice's camp? If not you have as much credibility as anyone else here including Ira the custodian.

Not sure what relevance this is?
Who cares what any other artist is doing?

Bottom line here is kill the cornball camp and get back to making great rock music, this is my plea and the plea of hundreds of thousands of ACG fans.

Do you require their names as well?

>Who are you J Edgar Hoover or Mike Francesa?

Why not just answer my question? I'm happy to accept that you can't justify your assertion.

>Again, are you in Alice's camp?

"Again"? When was I asked that previously? As to the answer, you'd have to ask him, I suppose.

>If not you have as much credibility as anyone else here including Ira the custodian.

I'm not the one making wild accusations, if you want to compare credibility.

>Not sure what relevance this is?

It's totally relevant. You wrote "like his earlier records had and his fame was created from...". So give me the name of any other artist who is 'dangerous'. I'll even make it easier for you and say it can be someone who is younger than Alice is.

>Who cares what any other artist is doing?

So why (in 2011) are you applying standards that have not applied since 1974 then?

> this is my plea and the plea of hundreds of thousands of ACG fans.

That would depend on whether you are their official spokesman, I think.

A_MichaelUK, I don't have the time for this back and forth with you. I have stated my opinion and you have made your blind allegeance apparent...or is that transparent?

Not sure...

Parish, I think you do have some time on your hands....this has gone on for 3 pages...(oh, and the word is spelled "allegiance").

That's SO LAME, though. You had plenty of "time" to defend youself previously, but now you don't. That's fine though. We can take your refusal or inability to answer as all the explanation we need.

>I have stated my opinion and you have made your blind allegeance apparent...or is that transparent?

What "blind allegeance"? I haven't even posted whether I like the album or not!

I've still been listening and I still enjoy it. It's a fun album. I just can't figure out for the life of me how Under the Bed was not part of the official release. It's one of the best songs that was recorded for this album, IMO.

Then you're just an insane philopolemicist...either way we are done!

Mod please lock this thread!

now....now....now....little Parish....hush now. The nightmare is just beginning. Just close your eyes and dream....getting sleepy....shhhhhh.

(oh oh oh oh...here you are in the club with your bottle full of bub, you got grill, you got bling, but playa you don't know a thing....)

GailsFriend · Post by **GailsFriend** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 2:57 pm

I will let you know that I converted a non-Alice fan to a total Alice Freak just because she loves Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever!

Praise the power of Alice! Amen!

Y'know whats funny/sad?

I've gone back and listened to the entire CD probably 20 times now and as soon as I'm about to possibly change my mind about the record that song comes up followed by "Ghouls Gone Wild" and then the whole thing falls apart for me as far as I'm concerned.

Too comedic for me...
