Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

I agree with Dannorama on this: I never understood why Ezrin was so critized , since he was the one who started it all (18) and proved his value along the (long)way. And still has Dennis' respect... The only album I cannot get in to is Acas, and guess what, no Ezrin on board.. ( to be honest, liked ...

Re: Muscle of love expanded

listening right now to Teenage : sounds perfect to me like it is . This btw was the first song I heard back in time, on a tiny radio receiver, broadcasted by an at the time pirate-sender , so I have a special appreciation for this song, and the album, which later appeared to be the last ACG album..

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

A friend of mine told me that there is a recent documentary where Alice clearly states that he has been working on a new album with the original band. He also told me that there are some pics from the recording sessions. I don’t have any link for this and sorry if this has been told before. I will ...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

I fear he has been a roadblock to a properly realised OG album where the weird and unexpected nestle alongside the more commercial numbers. That was the business model from Love it to death. Why not give it another shot? been looking and listening once more to Halo On Ice , by Michael Bruce. Refres...

Re: Alice Cooper Setlist/New Tour Comment

thanks for the snakes info :-) read some reviews today about graspop. One reviewer should definitely make his homework ( didn't understand about the snake in ....snakebite : how difficult could it be ??) but the show was ok. Another one very positive about Alice's voice ( compared to the two year ol...

Re: Alice Cooper Setlist/New Tour Comment

first time a saw a snake in the AC show. The snake fitted well with...snakebite (more than with Is it my body or Be my lover) . Thought in the past it was not possible for Alice to bring in snakes in Europe ?

Re: Alice Cooper Setlist/New Tour Comment

Yep, same setlist I saw yesterday on the Graspop gig. There was a lot of bad news concerning heavy rainfall, but fortunately we didn't see a mere drop of rain so we could fully enjoy the show. Poison and SO being absolute public pleasers, Hey Stoopid draw a lot of success too. Alice in fine voice, d...

Re: Man With The Golden Gun

quote Unfortunately, the Muscle of Love sessions wrapped up a bit too late and Lulu had already been contracted for the film.
so it has nothing to do with the fact that the ACG reputation at that time was stil "too special" ? Thought I read that somewhere .. But it would have fitted perfectly, imho...

Re: hello hurray

thanks for your reply, Dennis. ( remarkably enough, this item was also brought in the interesting interview with all four of you of the ACG , dealing with the release of the B$B reissue.) Strangely enough, no clear answer came on the question if there would be a new ACG album "soon"... As you certai...

Re: Alice Songs That Went Over Well Live but Are Rarely Played

during the bare bones tour, Long way to go was received well afaik. I thought he sang Angry or Back yard brawl as well ( but couldn't find it in the setlist on this site).. anyway, I don't think that Alice at this stage of his carreer will suddenly change things he's been doing succesfully for so lo...

Re: The Beginning of the Comeback of Alice Cooper (1986)

1986 must have been one if not the first time I saw Alice on tv. There was an interview on entertainment USA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc-owNauE7g and another one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpChlItL478 and then there was the He's Back clip. Alice was back and with his traditional look ! I...

Re: Starring Alice Cooper - pictorial autobiography

I bought the Alice @75 too and it is a beauty..
It isn't autographed, but, honestly, if you don't see him autograph it yourself...At a concert one could get "autoghraped" cd's ... Would be suprised if Alice autographed each and every cd that was piling up there...

Re: Starring Alice Cooper - pictorial autobiography

It's an odd time on the way us working folks use our not just disposable income but our income in general. On one hand we have had inflation, unaffordable rents and housing prices, costs for basics like groceries going through the roof and then we have people spending crazy money on entertainment (...

Re: "Road" - Reviews

I may be in the minority , but Road is the best album since Dirty Diamonds. I am Alice, Welcome to the Show, Frankenstein, Big Boots, Baby please don't go, Dead don't dance, The Big Goodbye are classics. I didn't think Road Rats would be good, thought it would be a waste. But is done differently an...

Of course it won`t be allowed. But your point is valid - unlike the mostly groundless criticism of Nita. You don`t think she fits - fine. You think she over plays - also fine. But I won't have endless unfounded insults aimed at anyone, let alone someone who has done absolutely nothing wrong and doe...

Re: "Road" - Reviews

I cannot believe Nina would come back/ be invited to come back, without the other bandmembers agreement..
Maybe for once we could/should believe what Alice says : they are all best friends ?
( we"ve been dissecting the record, the lyrics, the setlist, now the bandmembers...what's next ?)
