Oh, you’re trying to help. Think she may have got her defence in first if that’s happening.

Re: Hellfest 2022
Another grandpa here, although not as grumpy. (Well, maybe sometimes.) It has always irked me that these keyboard warriors are very loud when they’re protected by anonymity. My approach has only ever been, “don’t type anything that you wouldn’t say to their face.” Comedians who laugh at their own w...

Re: YouTube views and Spotify Streams
Meant to point out that 922 million streams will be something like $3.7m income to be split. Not much per play but it all adds up eventually.

Re: YouTube views and Spotify Streams
There are many drivers behind the stats and you can analyse everything to a ridiculous level e.g. Daily streams per country run against the touring schedule to detect waves of interest as Alice moves around. There are apparently a few facts that stand out each year 1. Every new release, every tour a...

Re: YouTube views and Spotify Streams
And here is Spotify. Pretty clear across YouTube and Spotify that it’s far more Alice solo than ACG and that it’s Poison which is the lead for most.

Re: "Road" - Reviews
I may be in the minority , but Road is the best album since Dirty Diamonds. I am Alice, Welcome to the Show, Frankenstein, Big Boots, Baby please don't go, Dead don't dance, The Big Goodbye are classics. I didn't think Road Rats would be good, thought it would be a waste. But is done differently an...

Re: Alice's Band Mates: An Appreciation
I’m guessing a 3 to 5 year period would be longer term now but who knows. I currently can’t see her staying that long but certainly another year or so, particularly if the touring schedule isn’t big next year and precisely because of what you said. Could I see her stay longer? Yes, particularly if s...

Re: Alice's Band Mates: An Appreciation
Just focussing on appreciation of the touring bands for a moment I have only ever had two gripes since my first Alice gig in 82. 1. Kane - ignoring his musicianship, his physical presence jarred for me as he simply dwarfed Alice. I just couldn’t see how it could last and on the RYFAY tour I’d had en...

Re: "Road" - Reviews
The Nita thing baffles me. She has been employed to perform a role and has done it really well. She has added more youthful energy to the stage and gained profile for Alice.
Kane may or may not be a better player but for me Nita wins on stage every time.

Re: Screaming Lord Sutch on Alice Cooper
More light hearted Hammer House of Horror than Alice ever was. He certainly had some of the ideas much earlier but never found any music to build it on. More popular as a failed politician than a failed musician.

Re: "Road" - Reviews
Now we seem to be trying to convince ourselves that Alice will be hanging his boots up next year and wrapping everything up with a ACG focused tour to support the album. God, I hope not. As far as I could see he was thoroughly enjoying himself this year with the Vampires, the guy is a touring machin...

Re: "Road" - Reviews
Let's get back to talking about the album. I have a Spotify list that contains all the available studio albums*. I like playing it in shuffle, because I hear things I'd completely forgotten about. Every time a "Road" song comes on, it really stands out. Go ahead and joke, but I think the album is a...

Re: "Road" - Reviews
I’m struggling to work out why Nita wouldn’t have been offered a pay increase. Is that not a natural thing to do if you are a hired musician, negotiate? I don’t see that as a negative for anyone, just part of doing a job. Are we suggesting the others haven’t had any contract reviews? Of course you p...

Some synonyms for “flew the Coop” deserted, cut loose, departed, ditched, dumped, left, walked out.
