Re: Bob Ezrin, Before and After
My point is, I've worked with other great producers, and all of them are swift problem solvers, but the depth of Bob's musical abilities has always been exceptional. We had some similar situations and it’s great to have a producer who not only knows their stuff, is on the ball enough to spot things...

Re: Totally Random Question
Our situations were mostly verbal rudeness and occasionally threats. A few times there was shoving and altercations. There were the pickup chases out of town (Easy Rider). But most of the dangerous stuff came from a few crowd members when we were on stage. I wrote about some of those incidents in m...

Re: Totally Random Question
What about “The Wicker Man” ? Did Alice Cooper run into any threatening situations like that?

Totally Random Question
I was wondering Dennis if you guys went to see Enter The Dragon when it came out at the cinema in 73 and if so what your thoughts were at the time.

I wonder Steve if it was based around “America” by Simon and Garfunkel.steven_crayn wrote: ↑Mon Jun 09, 2014 1:50 amI always loved the violin at the end of Big Apple Dreaming and emailed Jack Douglas years ago as to its origin as it sounds like a classical piece. Jack said it was original piece.

Studio Amps
Hi Dennis,
Happy New Year!
I was wondering if you have much recollection of the types of amps you guys used in the studio. I’ve always loved the guitar and bass sounds on Love It To Death and Killer (actually all your lps had interesting tones) and would love to know more of how they were achieved.

Re: What if...an alternate ACG reality
Pretties and Easy Action were recorded under contract to Bizarre who didn't want to spend any money on session time. Love It To Death not only had a decent budget via Warner Bros. but we had our very own rehearsal space, which made a world of difference. "Caught In A Dream" was recorded the way tha...

Re: Love it To Death without Bob
Oh gosh no! I’m not suggesting that for a minute. My initial post was merely based on the question of what might have happened had he not been involved. It was purely based on hearing some of the songs in their earlier forms.

Re: Who I really am
Just like Saint and Sinner I’ve so far enjoyed the arrangements of the old songs he’s done on this. I’m only a little way through at the moment but I actually think an Alice album in this style would be really refreshing. It’s not corny campfire stuff and It’s not completely acoustic btw but when th...

Re: Love it To Death without Bob
I get that, but I did find it interesting how far along some of the arrangements already were and how different they were to the Pretties and Easy Action stuff.

Love it To Death without Bob
I’m just listening to the Chicago underground gig from July 1970 and it’s interesting to hear the 3 LITD numbers before Bob Enron came on the scene. Now I’m not for the life of me suggesting the album would have been better without Bob, in fact , if it got made at all, it probably wouldn’t have been...

Re: Albums As Works of Art
A side note about this: when I made the switch to CDs back in the '80s, I discovered after a while that I no longer knew the names of all of the songs on most albums. I used to know every title from every album because I spent hours and hours looking at the album cover, studying the album cover, me...

Re: Phil X talks about and demonstrates some of his guitar playing on the Brutal Planet album
If Alice was there I am sure he would have went "yeah i like it lets use it". The fact he was not there, had he not liked it, I am sure he would asked for it to be redone....However it was recorded it is one of his stongest solo albums imo. Pretty sure a lot of band record like that, Motley Crue co...
