Re: Nita Strauss Quits

That's a big shame. Best of luck to Nita in her future pursuits.

Nita is absolute aces as a player and a performer, but I am sure Alice will find a replacement.

Re: Setlist

This is a photo of the band (no Glen or Alice) by Chyrisse that I found in the Rock at Night review. I am sure many of you have seen it but it's a piece of art imo. Just striking. https://www.rockatnight.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/VTF_6185.jpg I am not sure about the copyrights and such, but it ...

Re: Touring band to feature on next album!

Alice is always hung up on one concept. I personally think it is not him as such, it is the press conference Alice on a cruice control going through the motions. Journalists keep on asking about things that he fed their colleagues earlier and he keeps on repeating the same lines. I think it is only ...

Re: Touring band to feature on next album!

Well put you people above. I also think that especially in rock music as well as later rap etc. there is a certain artistic edge that is often lost when age and wisdom start to kick in. Perhaps there is a little responsibility (for the other people working with you) mixed in as well and perhaps even...

Re: Touring band to feature on next album!

Based on the new material released over the past 22 years the new record will blow chunks... If it wasn't for the ACG songs written in the 70's he'd have no one show up at his concerts. If it wasn't for Poison he'd have no one show up at his concerts. And that my friend unlike your statement, is a ...

Re: 2022 hopes and dreams

The argument "best song wins" is just - sorry - plain stupid in this context. We will never know how the songs would have been after the process. So comparison to make the judgement of what songs are the best 10 is irrelevant. It can't be done. The argument that we should wait and see how the recor...

Re: 2022 hopes and dreams

Just the way things have been for a long time. wonder if this really is a fan forum at times. Agree ! Not that there is no room for critisism, but I never understood where this Ezrin-bashing comes from, especially if you see how Alice himself and Dennis speak about him... And Alice never disappoint...

I am so disappointed. He just can't help himself can he? I understand in the 70's when the bands were too wasted to find their way to recording sessions. But this? This was to be a band record. Those are so very rare these days. And these guys are available so there is no (nothing, zero, zilch, 0) e...

Re: 2022 hopes and dreams

I just wish the pandemic to allow the tour to continue. Road album would be a plus. Anything else and I start feeling I am being greedy. Frankly, if I am being pessimistic, to not hear Alice retire in the face of this utterly shitty corona situation would be all right.

Re: Road Album

I will be looking forward to this. Making an album when touring has potential to lead to a proper old fashioned band album, instead of everyone recording their tracks in different studios around the world with little input from each other. Hopefully they have good songs to record, too.

It's just Alice being Alice. People take what he says in random interviews way (waaayyy) too seriously. It's just PR.

Re: Re-evaluating Alice

List of well known acts that didn't sell out:
- The KLF

Except KLF sold out, too. So yeah.

Artists get old mellow out and wise up. That's life. What often takes place is that their audience does the same and most people are happy.

Re: Touring band to feature on next album!

Sorry I thought you were talking about just Alice and recently. I was talking about Ezrin over the times I thought it was pretty clear there but, I do fail at the details in English often enough to understand that it is most likely my mistake. Sorry. Still, Ezrin has always swapped players, it seem...

Re: Touring band to feature on next album!

It would be great to see. I very much doubt it as long as Ezrin is producing. He has never been shy to just replace the stuff played by actual band members with the parts played by his own guys. He has always done it and often not been too straight about it, either. I have ranted enough on this bef...

Re: Johnny Depp verdict

All his ex's stood up in court to defend his character which is incredible, when you think about it. Actually I don't think they did appear in this specific case (could be wrong). They DID offer to appear and they wrote personal statements, but in the end Depp's people didn't think they needed to c...
