Re: The 'Secret' Next Album
I wonder what the time frame will be before those involved in the project can officially talk about things ? Supposedly 14 songs were recorded a while back. I haven’t heard if that number has changed so I’m thinking it’s pretty much done except maybe for some tweaks or album art. I’d bet our Dr. Dre...

Re: The 'Secret' Next Album
Original songs written with the original group and Ezrin. And the only guest musicians I’d prefer to see would be guitarists to fill in for Glen.

Re: Desmond Child Thoughts
Not a big fan of Desmond and that interview didn’t change anything. Glad he didn’t take Alice into that industrial keyboard direction he wanted to if he produced the album after Trash. I preferred Hey Stupid to Trash.

Re: Slade
I can’t speculate on Denis awareness of Lea , but I think Lea was very aware of Denis as later on in his career he produced a few records and I believe he played bass on a cover of Schools out for some popular singer.

Re: Slicker Than A Weasel
I actually saw the concert back in the day and you are correct, the band did seem unusual. Extremely talented group but it had the feel of a hired gun performance. Sort of a Ringo Star All Star band feel to it. The edge was missing. A mainstream event.

Re: Another "Halo Of Flies" question
I thought the track for "Under My Wheels" sounded strong on its own and I was against adding horns. Since the song was chosen as a single, and radio stations were playing songs by other groups that had added horns (The Doors, The Stones), it likely helped get airplay. The horns soon won me over. Di...

Re: The Lace and Whiskey Era
Dancing chickens was definitely a bad idea. A real bad idea. And going on Carson with them and without a band was a bad idea. A real bad idea. The cover of the Lace and Whiskey with Alice as a 1950’s private detective was a bad idea. It came across as I don’t want to be Alice Cooper anymore. As for ...

Re: "Road" - Reviews
The Stones album sounds very fresh. I can’t imagine too many Stones fans not liking it. That said, to me there’s not a lot of swagger with the album. Too many mid tempo / slow stuff for my taste. But I would be very curious to see what a producer like Watt could bring to the table.

Re: Alice's Band Mates: An Appreciation
I’m no drummer either but there is a very noticeable difference on W2MN between Mullins and Neal. To my ears Neal is much more of a rock drummer and a harder hitter on the drums. Sort of like comparing Buddy Rich to Sandy Nelson. Buddy was more big band sound and Sandy was a rocker. Comes down to pe...

Re: Alice's Band Mates: An Appreciation
Thankfully I don’t think Alice has had any real duds in his band. All very respected musicians. We might have our personal favorites but I’m unaware of any untalented hacks standing on stage with him. They all brought a little something to the table. One guy not mentioned yet who I truly like is Mik...

Re: Alice's Band Mates: An Appreciation
Always thought Orianthi was a great guitar player and wished she stayed with Alice longer and had the chance to write with him. I thought she was a more classic rock / blues based influenced player. She could rip it up when she had to but steady rock chops were her strengths. If the opportunity ever...

Re: "Road" - Reviews
I don't consider Road a 'failure' at all. Indeed, for me, it's Cooper's most enjoyable album since Brutal Planet . Stoopid, catchy, and back to basics - The Ramones built an entire career on that - it's a hoot. Simplistic lyrics? Well, so what; some of the best pop songs ever have those.And that's ...
