What does "fans" mean? Are we implying that a real fan wouldn't swallow it? Personally, I really don't care about all this he said she said stuff. We simply don't know the facts in the detail and never will. Great if Dennis spoke to Mike but for whatever reason after that Mike, Alice, Shep and whoever else simply didn't make enough effort to make it happen. Shame..move on.

Complain to the directors. It was their decision. Lots of you seem to think that Alice and/or Shep were behind the lack of Michael in the doc, but the directors are the ones who decided what to do or not to do.

Common sense says it's pretty obvious that, for whatever reason, Michael appears to have chosen not to participate. I honestly doubt it was for lack of trying. They even stated that they tried. Ultimately, they chose to leave him out.

The directors did that. Not Alice. Not Shep.

Michael is harder to connect with. He has taken up a life of travel. For a while he was in Arizona, but now he's mostly in Mexico. Sometimes I can find him, but sometimes, even when I need to tell him of some venture that concerns us all, finding him is impossible. Michael is one of the key people who went unmentioned in the Super Duper Alice Cooper film. I don't see how that happened but everyone knows he was a big part of the dream---and a big part of the songs!

LRI: Did you get the sense that there was still a great bit of respect or brotherly love between the old Cooper band guys based on your dealings with them?

Reg: I think they all went through a lot of tough times in dealing with the breakup of the group, Alice included but I think they are all now very proud of what they achieved and their body of work. Yeah, there were tough times but now they’re all older and if they were our fathers they’d be retiring by now at their age so I think they are at a point where they’re like “Hey, let’s just be happy and proud of what we’ve achieved and let’s be friends”. I think they’re all friends at this point, I had pictures taken with Neal, Dennis and Alice at the after party. Michael Bruce is still alive and he is sort of a controversial omission from the movie but it was difficult to try and get an interview with him for various reasons and trying to wedge in the presence or story of someone into the film whom you don’t have access to just feels weird and only the most hardcore fan who somehow doesn’t know how to Wikipedia is going to care.

Of course. You completely ignored my second post, featuring quotes from Dennis and Reg. Anything that doesn't fit your conspiracy theory can't be true. Give it a rest, Bob.

For someone who supposedly has a beef with Michael, Alice has sure worked with him a lot over the past few years, what with the Astroturf show, the Nashville shows, the UK tour, the contributions on W2MN and Paranormal. Why, it's almost like you're the only one who thinks there's a problem there. (Hint: you are.)
