Interesting Alice interview in Rollin Stone

[mestreech]

Hi,

Alice made some interesting comments in the latest (digital) Rolling Stone.
He talks about an upcoming W2MN show later in 2012.
Although Alice never "be trusted" on his comments it still shows they are thinking about a new show.

[scotty]

we'll take it for now! hard to imagine alice saying something he's not sure will happen to RS,even the digital version! I can see no ACAS tour,but if he ever does a "theme" tour,you'd have to think this must be it!

[Holly Grail]

He managed to put on a totally different and big show after a tour in 2009 (TOD). So because of that ,i trust him.They can direct and reharsh a brand new show during their mini-break of this year's tour..

[scotty]

I'm sure he's constantly kicking around ideas for a new show!

I doubt we're going to see anything new until 2013 at the earliest.

and by then it'll be time for a new album!

As has already been said the summer is packed with festival shows so the earliest a new tour would be able to happen would be the start of winter, which is usually the time that Alice come's over to the uk with what could easily be with a big W2MN show, the only thing being that the imputus would have run out and it would also put back any new album, although perhaps it could be a joint album thing or perhaps......oh who knows??

[Devon]

Alice has been pretty adamant in interviews, etc. about having a W2MN show (moreso than in years past when he's talked about a proper tour for an album) I believe it's just a question of when is all now. It'll happen when it happens is all I can say, better late than never.

[A_MichaelUK]

>only thing being that the imputus would have run out

Which "imputus" are you referring to?

[Devon]

I wouldn't worry about Alice being imputus since they have pills for that nowadays.

[dadascot]

lol devon I like it, dont know what pills your talking about but i'm sure they are blue. Andy the imputus I am talking about is that built up by all the publicity surrounding the Hall of fame induction followed by Alice's most successful album in decades, and then taking a year to get round to touring the album (if that does happen at the end of the year). I realise that the whole industry has changed dramatically but surely it is still not that far removed from the days when you toured to support your current album. When Constrictor came out they announced the album and tour on the same day. Is that enough 'imputus'??

[GNDM]

I sure hope Alice has the impetus to take care of his imputus....especially if it is the virulent Chinese imputus that is going around.

[jram]

I met Alice backstage at Halloween 2010, having won VIP tickets through his site. I knew I only had one question for him, so I asked if he had any plans to bring back the Magic Screen.

His answer was "See me on the next tour."

That was Halloween 2011, but no screen. That, of course, wasn't an album tour though.

I love Alice, and trust he didn't lie to me. So I eagerly anticipate a W2MN tour that is everything I hope for and more.

Are you sure he heard your question?

[Toronto Bob]

Alice just says what he thinks the person he's talking to wants to hear. Some call it lying but it's only lying in the sense that it's not the truth.

[A_MichaelUK]

>but surely it is still not that far removed from the days when you toured to support your current album.

Actually, the situation now happens to be totally different.

>When Constrictor came out they announced the album and tour on the same day. Is that enough 'imputus'??

No. The record industry is totally different now, compared to the period you are referring to.

[A_MichaelUK]

>Alice just says what he thinks the person he's talking to wants to hear.

Not always, though.

[Toronto Bob]

>Alice just says what he thinks the person he's talking to wants to hear.

of course not always - but enough so that anyone wanting accurate information on "Alice" should pay as much attention to an AC interview as a music fan should pay attention to an AC album post TLT. That is to say, better left ignored.

[GNDM]

I think people should keep that in mind, not only listening to Alice, but listening to other celebrities as well.

I completely disagree. Though I think TLT was a very good album, production wise I feel it lacked the "edge" and power those songs should (and could) have had. IMHO Brutal Planet was excellent and the majority of the songs on W2MN I think rank with the best Alice has done since WTMN. In my opinion, Bob Ezrin´s work on W2MN makes it the best produced Alice album since the 70´s. I hope he continues his work with Alice, as they seem to bring out the best in each other.
