Re: Blue Turk - What a Masterpiece!
School's Out is a GREAT album in my opinion - I may well have it down as the best ACG (or indeed Alice Cooper)album actually. It's between that and Killer for me. B$B was somewhat contrived I feel.
Re: Blue Turk - What a Masterpiece!
Yes, it would obviously be from a one off show that he would have to play it. I don't see it happening, but it's good to dream every now and then and picture how awesome it would sound.
School's Out is a creative masterpiece! I much prefer it over Muscle of Love since it has more of a variety of sounds and direction.

School's Out and Killer are my favourite Alice Cooper albums as well....I can't seem to decide which one I like better....

Tell Alice - he thinks the same way (or did when we spoke about it). Just think about it. Imagine how it would be received if it was performed in front of a hundred thousand drunken heavy metal fanatics at a festival. Some songs work better in some settings than others.

Let's hope he does another 100 Club type gig, and that Blue Turk is on the setlist.

I love This especially Glen's playing, I also love his fuzz interludes on Luney Tune (if it's him?). I wish Bob Ezrin had been more patient with him rather than bring in all those session players.

He may not have had that luxury.

Re: Blue Turk - What a Masterpiece!
Love to see the love for Blue Turk. Great tune!
Re: Blue Turk - What a Masterpiece!
Are you suggesting it was more Warner Bros wanting to squeeze as many lps out of them while the going was good? If so, of course! I really really can't believe I didn't think of that Send my apologies to Bob! Could you clarify if it was Glen playing the fuzz breaks on Luney Tune?A_MichaelUK wrote:From Babysquid:

Back on Blue Turk I think it's my favourite all time Coop song but I agree with A_MichaelUK that it probably wouldn't work in a normal live setting. I mean I'd love it and there would defiantly be a few others who would but I think the more casual fans might see it as a disruption. However if he were to perform it on a TV show (chat show, music showcase, drama?) I think it might hold it's own.
I should also point out that as well as loving Glen on this I think Alice sings it really well.
Re: Blue Turk - What a Masterpiece!
I also find that people I play it to find this more surprising when they find out who it's by than OWB or any of the ballads.

No, I meant that, reportedly, they were always on very tight deadlines and schedules. Dennis once referred to it as "relentless".
>Could you clarify if it was Glen playing the fuzz breaks on Luney Tune?
It certainly sounds like him.

It might in the very early hours of the morning in a jazz club (as that was kind if the effect they were going for), but I can't see that happening.

Re: Blue Turk - What a Masterpiece!
Okay I'm with you. I shall rephrase my earlier statement. I wish the stituation was different and Glen had been able to play more because I really like his style! No disrespect to Dick Wagner, Steve Hunter, Reggie Vincent and of course Mick Mashbir but I preferred listening to Glen warts and all.A_MichaelUK wrote:From Babysquid:

If it was early hours jazz club they were going for I think they nailed it!
