Yeah, that is actually an interesting thought. It seems that the Hollywood Vampires audience is a little bit different than (obviously with a few exceptions) than the typical Alice or Aerosmith audience. Maybe it is the Johnny Depp factor, The Johnny Depp factor is THE major pulling point for HV. A...

Good stuff ech. I was at the gig. A relatively young rock crowd, apart from a couple of hundred JD screamers, Many were in their thirties and enjoyed all of the covers, loved Joe Perry (who was very much awake!) and JD and genuinely saw Alice.as the star. Good venue, great atmosphere and great to se...

I’m Alice is certainly a grower for me. I’m at a solid 7 now. Don’t think it will get higher but it’s right in the head now and won’t go away. Had it playing on Spotify in the car yesterday and Social Debris was offered up as the next track. Hadn’t listened to that for over a year but they worked su...

50 years of negativity must be a difficult cross to carry. I can never understand those who hang about to constantly and negatively compare a band which died 50 years ago after a relatively short career with a singer who has managed to navigate the next half century. Is it still the blame game? Wit...

Paris in a week or so and then Glasgow a couple of weeks later. Looking forward to the shows. Interesting that Alice seems to have taken the four screens from the solo tour into HV tour as well.

I am a 6 moving towards a 7/10. Wasn’t convinced initially but it is in the head now. Watched the video which strangely made a positive difference as well. A friend who came in around the time of Fistful of Alice and has no love for ACG beyond some of the live versions gives a very solid 8.

Remarkablyinsincere -“The set does change and evolve, but Alice has to play his biggest hits. It gets a big reaction and the shows are selling out.” A few are selling out but some look like a disaster tbh. We are talking some small venues in most cases. Perhaps not a long lead time but potentially p...

No offence to Kane but this is good news to me.

I’m not angry at Alice for doing a few shows which bring him to a wider audience again and presumably pay enough to make it worthwhile. I just think it’s a shame that it’s these bands and particularly the Crue who have never had time for. I’ll get over it but honestly, the Crue??

Really?

I just couldn’t buy a ticket for this. Opening act for these two? They must be needing more tickets shifted.

(not that much of it is likely to be added to the set haha dont forget the tape they play while the stage is setting up etc. Thats always a greatest hits you wont be hearing live on the night - that usually includes the latest album :) Yeah, and I wish they would make more of that period immediatel...

Bought tickets for the Paris show a while ago. Good venue with standing too. Will probably miss the UK shows as a result but as time passes will probably cave in. Another chance to see the Tubes will be good.

The difference between Creatures and Constrictor is that Creatures has been touted by both band and fans as being among their best albums. Nobody says that about Constrictor. If anything, RYFAY is the vastly superior album from that era. I would love to see something along the lines of what's menti...

Not sure about Creatures of the Night being less successful as it got a Gold Cert in the mid nineties and I don’t think Constrictor has made it yet over 25 years later. Is the big point though that the core Kiss fanbase is much larger globally than Alice’s and therefore the numbers will always work ...

Mine too. 10:43 to be precise. Just about to sit down and enjoy Saturday morning at the Astroturf.

Thanks from me too. I had been in Amazon as well but needed something to help make my mind up. Just had a thought, if qualifying as hardcore requires me to own every printed word in addition to every variant of every album then I’ve been out of that game for years now. Don’t have the money or space ...

Gimmicks have always been part of the Alice Cooper experience. From the name of the band, the costumes, the make up to all the props. Thankfully the music comes first. She wasn't that great of a player. Those things don't involve sex appeal. Alice has been about gimmicks since day one. He has throw...

Gimmicks have always been part of the Alice Cooper experience. From the name of the band, the costumes, the make up to all the props. Thankfully the music comes first. One person’s gimmick is another’s shrewd decision. I’ll go for shrewd. She fitted well, played well and helped raise Alice’s profil...
