Re: The AOR 45's v The Black Out 45's

"WB pulled the plug on Alice--no more money--no more nothing. Over and done. The single never stood a chance. The only reason Dada got made was due to the contact and Ezrin and Shep I think helped financially to get the album finished. WB didn't even want the album, but had to release it once it was...

Re: SPECIAL FORCES

It would. Sure Alice and co. we're indulging in the substances of the day and memories are flaky at best. Sure there is probably a level of regret, embarrassment and pain from the period that some would choose not to revisit but it's quite an achievement as to how so many people have said so little ...

Re: 4 new albums announced

I enjoyed the article in the Daily Mail on the HV and about Johnny Depp "rocking out with HIS band" and dating some 23 year old dancer while HIS band played in LA and Las Vegas. I think the article did mention Alice Cooper. :smack: Usual Daily Mail trash gossip journalism but are they not right in ...

Re: Hollywood Vampires "We Gotta Rise" Live - at The Greek Theatre 2019

It really does sound just like the Vindaloo song. :) Happy to be corrected but wasn't that basic "vindaloo" melody line around BEFORE the song? IWasn't it a football chant long before.. which they used for the song. If not, it's a complete lift as it's pretty much identical. And the fart gag is jus...

Re: Hollywood Vampires "We Gotta Rise" Live - at The Greek Theatre 2019

Am I the only one here to find this a very weird song to appear on a rock album? Be it that the spoken part somehow reminds me of the end of Elected ( no coincidence I guess) , but it's lacking the power Elected had from its first notes.. Catchy yes, but not what I expected/hoped to hear from HV or...

Re: ACG

"I think far too much is being read into the Alice hates Michael thing." Yet you have to wonder why only Neal's and Dennis' voices were heard on the Super Duper documentary. That was odd. Not really. Alice even commented on it. Michael could not be found. He had literally disapprared. I believe She...

Re: ACG

Alice Cooper (the group) is done (for now). If it was to ever come back it would be with only 1 lead singer and sadly for ACG I imagine a large majority of concert goers would not see the hype or even know any different. Same thing applies to the solo band. I sure wouldn’t notice if that guitar pla...

Re: Interesting (from Popoff book)

Si.....Sorry, but I have to leave the conversation. Too many in your group with a negative attitude about possible OG reunions. One member's attitude I am sure stems from animosity towards me, others attitudes stem from the fear that any reunion would take away from "their" Alice. I'll stay in my s...

Re: Interesting (from Popoff book)

Rock indeed all of showbiz is littered with hundreds if not thousands of juicy stories of deception and betrayal. While I have no doubt that there are two sides to every story and that some will have left gaping holes in people's lives there surely has to be a time when people let go. I read the com...

Wouldn't it be interesting if he freshened it up with half a dozen cuts from L&W and GTH instead..

Re: Interesting (from Popoff book)

What is in it for Alice? It won't add anything to his career or bottom line. He has probably toured and collaborated with other musicians longer than the time spent with the original band. It wasn't working 45 years ago when they were relatively young and it certainly won't work now that they are s...

Re: Vampires Who's Laughing Now?

He clearly still had an audience but wasn't giving them what they wanted on vinyl as the the subsequent sales of Zipper or DaDa proved and they were certainly advertised in the music press at a reasonable level at the time. There was virtually NO advertising for either album. A bit for Zipper but a...

Re: Vampires Who's Laughing Now?

Pleasantly surprised. Catchy and enjoyable. Did find the difference in singing styles a little jarring on the first couple of listens but used to it now.
7/10 for me

Re: ‘Ol black eyes is back Tour

Would be a nice touch if the band came on to a tape of Titanic Overture. Hearing that loudly blasting out in an arena would be some entrance. In another nod to the old days, I'd like to see the electric chair brought back. It could be built to look really dramatic and have huge pyrotechnics around ...

Re: Paris Special 82

Can't say for certain but I know that a couple I was hoping for have never surfaced. There were plenty of great gigs recorded, not all of the ones listed here, but most of them and I was told this included the Stones and the Jam, the two I wanted.
