Thanks for the reply and a pretty darn quick one at that. So if LITD wasn’t successful you were pretty sure WB would give you another chance ? I don’t think that luxury exists in the record business anymore. And that’s a shame because bands need time to develop. But I’m not sure in the case of rock ...

When you were recording LITD I’m sure you were aware that this album was very different from the previous two albums. Much more focused, better professional production and musically the band were in peak form. Were you expecting it to be a decent selling album ? If it had turned out sales wise like ...

I got to say that’s why I hate most record reviews. That guy took about 4 very long paragraphs before he even mentioned the album. He thinks it’s sub par, thats fine but it was like reading a high schooler book report where he had to use at least 2,000 words. Short on substance and long on wind.

And right now they are playing The Big Goodbye. That’s 4 songs in the first week of release.

I don’t know if this makes a difference or not but when I play Spotify or Pandora and hit a random hard rock play list I have been hearing Big Boots, Dead don’t Dance and Magic Bus. I have never heard a new Alice song played on these lists within the first week of its release before.

I am one who digs the album. I personally don’t think the lyrics are all that bad. A exception here and there but I don’t think it deserves the shellacking it gets by some. As for rock music, I buy something for the music over the lyrics. I really don’t care what Judas Priest or Iron Maiden or ACDC ...

always a difficult album for me. Lyrically it borders on brilliant but musically it falls short. Synthesizers definitely doesn’t help. If he wrote something like that now and with the band he has now, they could have nailed it. Please god no! That would be like putting a bull in a china shop. I lov...

So I really like this album. I played it 3 times yesterday. Something I haven’t done since the Brutal Planet release. It’s the record I had been hoping he make for a longtime. Straight up guitar driven hard rock. No doubt about it, his band is top notch. There is a cohesiveness musically to it from ...

A very very good rock album. Those little teasers did not do it justice. The band rips.

always a difficult album for me. Lyrically it borders on brilliant but musically it falls short. Synthesizers definitely doesn’t help. If he wrote something like that now and with the band he has now, they could have nailed it.

I’d love to see him do a show on Sirius when the time is right. Or a once weekly podcast sometime down the line.

Like the new song. Straight up rock n roll. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

So I am more than willing to hear the new album in its entirety before final judgement. I will say I was expecting a more raw sound from what I had heard from Alice. So far it sounds real smooth. Especially the two released songs. As for the reunion album I am very interested. I was around from the ...

Well those samples change things. 30 second snippets show a lot of promise. Nice to hear some actual singing going on from Alice.

You are right. They could probably record the guitar part from the space station and put it on the record.

I’d be happy with Hunter. Even if he isn’t just the one guy, I would like to see him on a song or two. I hear is eyesight isn’t getting better and I believe he now lives in Europe so I’m not sure if that’s an option.

If that were to be the case I’d vote for Roxie. But I believe Kane Roberts alluded to the fact he was doing some work with Alice that he couldn’t talk about just yet. Michael also threw out the name of Robby Krieger (sp) from the Doors.

The video I saw with Michael when he let the cat out of the bag on a reunion album, he stated that supposedly each song on the album will have a guest guitarist to take the place of Glen. And whatever songs they had written so far were laid down in Phoenix.

I’ll take that over constantly bringing in outside song writers and studio or guest musicians. The original guys were a true band and they all had skin in the game. Not just getting a paycheck to show up in the studio for a day or two. Not that I’m expecting anything groundbreaking but I don’t expec...

A new album with the original group ?? Now that’s something I can get into. Very interesting.
