Now *that* would be "exciting" :grin:

Then again, Glenn Hughes had a huge response online when he talked about getting a haircut, so some people apparently find these things interesting.

Heh, while at some point that is going to happen, I do think it would be weird to elude to retirement in the very same sentence as new tour dates.

"More tour dates to be announced soon, with a big announcement coming in the next few weeks!"
Schooooooooooooool's Ouuuuuuuuuuuuut. FOR. EVER!

VERY VERY doubtful and wouldn't be a good idea. Dick is still recovering from his heart attack. Yes, he did a couple of shows here a couple of months ago, but he even said that he's still not playing to his full abilities while he's trying to regain complete use of his arms. This isn't the good idea that some of you guys think it would be.

Don't worry Devon we all thought the same. We're just having fun as usual, at least I am. Don't take it too seriously.

I must say I had the same thought :)

In which case we don't really have the same notion of "exciting" :P

Waiting....
no I didn't think it really could be that as that isn't very exciting, I was being cynical about the music business, I'm sure and hope it will be major news.

C'mon Alice, give us a short tour as The Alice Cooper Group, then take a few months off to set up a massive WTMN2 tour.

That's right....no one is getting any younger here. A new Alice Cooper (Band) album and a short tour to support it....like in the old days.

Looking at the News page I see Alice will be on a McCartney tribute album. really hope he does When I'm Sixty-Four. As a Rock song. Could be quite good.

the major news if not the departure of Steve Hunter could be the name of his replacement or that the original band are to record an album, remember Steve won't tour with Alice this year but he could still record as his style fits in so well with the original band and next year who is to say that an ACG tour couldn't happen with Steve?

Of course it could be the announcement of a Welcome 2 My Nightmare tour which even without Steve Hunter could still happen.

The speculation mounts, Andy, Si can you shed some light?

Not really.
However as far as I understand it Steve's announcement is NOT directely connected to whatever AC.com is going to announce.
AC.com said they had a big announcement BEFORE Steve decided to move on.
