Earmusic is saying #5 in Canada. Not sure which is right, but it would be great if that's true!

From their Facebook:

Switzerland: #3
Canada: #5
Czech Republic: #7

Seems like they're going over their time to play Ace of Spades. Works for me.

I'm gonna say they're not playing it. 10 minutes left, they just started I'm Eighteen, and obviously still need School's Out. Pretty disappointing. I know Alice had hinted at playing stuff from RYFAY before, but nothing quite explicit as this. I'd go as far to say this is just a blatant lie. :( Stil...

Nope. Also Lost In America and Pain were skipped. Not boding well for Roses. I was expecting it either right after The World Needs Guts or after Nita's solo.

Woo! Starting now!

Also, what are the chances Alice shows up to do The Toy Master with Avantasia? They play a bit later in the night. I'd say slim to none, but it would be cool nonetheless.

Seems like a lot of people are on board with Fireball being the best. Easily the winner for me as well!

Still a big fan of Welcome 2 My Nightmare. The only bad song is Ghouls Gone Wild.

The weird thing about that record is that it has absolutely no business being good. It has so many terrible ideas jammed into one record, but almost every single one of them works flawlessly.

If the verses had been different, I would have liked the song a lot more. The chorus is fantastic, and there's some solid riffage in there, but the similarities are too strong to ignore.

Got my copy today and after two listens, I really like it. First 5 tracks are all amazing. From that point on, the next 4 songs all have good moments, but aren't mindblowing, but then the last 3 are great again as well. I'm surprised that I enjoy Genuine American Girl as much as I do, but both of th...

Day 5. Just got thru flush the fasion to zipper catches skin. Im off work for the next 2 days so ill be listening more later. Just a few days away hehe. Where are you guys at? Tearsofblood your going backwords arent u? I'm currently in the middle of reviewing Along Came A Spider. Not sure when I'll...

These previews make me much more optimistic than the 30 second ones. Still really didn't like Dynamite Road, but everything else sounds decent at worst and really good at best (Fireball, Fallen in Love, Rats, and especially The Sound of A).

I was just on the phone with Amazon Canada to complain about two other pre-orders not coming on time (new Wintersun and Orden Ogan came out last Friday; they're not planning on showing up for a while), and they told me they already have copies of Paranormal in stock, and mine is shipping today and w...

I am, but Best Buy in Canada is a whole different game compared to the US. Very unlikely they'll be stocking it, although I will check. I can probably drive about 40 minutes to a Sunrise Records, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they also don't have it.

This is a dumb question, but how do I listen to Nights With Alice Cooper after it finished? Is that possible? Really curious to hear the tracks he played on it.

I'm doing a huge Alice review feature for my webzine and am hoping to post the whole thing the night before. So far I've reviewed 22 of 26 albums (just finished Dragontown tonight). Sadly I don't anticipate getting the album on release day. Amazon has no idea when my order is shipping, and there are...

Welcome 2 My Nightmare was my favourite since Brutal Planet. It's not perfect, but probably just cracks my top 10. If we're talking top 5 or masterpiece level, it would be Brutal Planet easily.

I really love this song. Sounds like a great opener for the record.

I know a lot of people don't like Trash, but I listen to a ton of glam metal, and Trash is easily one of the best albums in the style. There's maybe 3 albums that are better in that style (first two Skid Row + Dokken's Under Lock and Key). Most other bands don't even come close to how brilliant Tras...

Really difficult to judge based on 30 second samples, but initial thoughts on a few of these songs: Fallen In Love - I like the bouncy feel of this song. Have a feeling it could turn out to be one of my favourites Dynamite Road - amazing guitar work, and then it for some reasons starts ripping off T...

Pretty much all the shows at Wacken are filmed anyways because they get broadcast on TV in Germany, so I imagine the extra effort in filming a show would be lower at Wacken than elsewhere. But with that said, I'm not sure if it would make sense to do another live release. It feels like he has had a ...
