Re: Flush the Fashion 40th Anniversary

A bit of a hidden gem. As others have said, the first three tracks are great. I don't think anyone mentioned it but I'd like to single out the the Stones-ish sounding Dance Yourself to Death for praise. Very catchy with some nice lyrics. I find it funny that by 1980 rock has moved from songs about h...

Re: A Paranormal Evening At The Olympia Paris DVD / Blu-Ray release

I wonder why the Another Brick in the Wall bit was cut? Some sort of royalties thing maybe. Likely exactly that reason. A shame because when the edited version of the show was broadcast on TV it included it!! It feels odd to say this because the song was a classic for decades before they started ad...

Re: I still think Paranormal is mediocre........

I love this album. I think it's one of his very best, honestly. The only track I don't care for is Holy Water. Another piece of the puzzle may be that, as time passes, many of us broaden our musical horizons. I didn't care for jazz, country, soul, funk or blues when I was 13. That was the year B$B a...

Re: Alice Unplugged

Alice: Unplugged would be awesome. He really does have a plethora of great songs, and many of them have never been played live. This type of show would be a great opportunity to showcase some of them. Alice is a chameleon and can do almost any genre of music. I would love to see what kind of new arr...

Re: Betty Wright No Tricks

I like this song a lot. Good lyrics and great performances by both vocalists. Truthfully, I like this song more than any of the songs that actually made it on to FTI.

Re: Detroit Stories Review

I think this is a pretty good album. Not a classic, but there's a lot to like here. Go Man Go and Social Debris are both top notch, imo. Our Love Will Change the World is the type of song I would normally hate, but Alice works his magic on it and I really like it. I also enjoy both the Velvet Underg...

Re: A Paranormal Evening At The Olympia Paris DVD / Blu-Ray release

This is an awesome video. I watched it recently and I've been on an Alice Cooper kick ever since. Great performance and excellent production values. I wonder why the Another Brick in the Wall bit was cut? Some sort of royalties thing maybe. That minor nitpick aside this is probably the best concert ...

Re: IDEAS FOR A "CONSTRICTOR REDUX"

I really wish more bands would revisit more of their old material like this. There are so many (potentially) great rock albums from the 70s and 80s that really suffered from poor production. Black Sabbath's Born Again or AC/DC's non-Mutt Lange produced 80s albums for example. One thing that struck m...
