Re: Fall 2021 Tour Setlist
Roxie also seemed to suggest the band would be wearing masks for the whole show (Alice of course can't, being the prime vocalist) but I could have misunderstood that. I haven’t seen anything up on YouTube yet from last nights show, but if the band are wearing masks for the whole show, the backing v...

Re: Solo Alice
As for From The Inside and Flush The Fashion, to be candidly honest, I'm not familiar with those albums. For me, From the Inside is Alice’s second best solo album, after Welcome to My Nightmare. It’s dark but commercial, which is always a winning formula. There isn’t a bad song on the album. Jackkn...

Re: Brazil '74
The record breaking São Paulo show was filmed, the plan was for it to be broadcast on TV in Brazil for 2 weeks after the show. The tour promoter for Alice Cooper in Brazil 1974 was Peter Shanaberg, in conjunction with Marcos Lazaro of Uni Marco. For 14 days prior to the concerts in São Paulo, 15 30 ...

Re: Writing BDB, the song
Neal Smith on the inspiration of Charlie Watts and ‘Billion Dollar Babies’. “The song was already written and it was a pretty straight drum beat through the whole song. I was also impressed by Charlie Watts from the Rolling Stones and the beginning of the song ‘Get Off of My Cloud’, which has a grea...

That photo wasn’t taken at Bernies 21st though they got the date wrong, it was actually taken in 1974.

Re: Glen’s luney fuzz
Both Glen and Michael were always trying out new effects, especially in the studio. They would plug into different amps and peddles until they found something that they thought was right for each part of each song. It varied for each lead part and each rhythm part. Plus Glen spent lots of time cust...

Re: Pure Glen Buxton
I think it could be both Glen and Michael Bruce playing the opening to Halo of Flies. The origins of the ‘Halo of Flies’ opening riff was in existence as early as the Toronto Rock and Roll Revival on September 13th 1969. If you watch this footage at 5 mins 55 seconds in, you will see and hear Micha...

Re: Pure Glen Buxton
Somewhere on this forum Steve Hunter gave an accurate description of who played what on B$B. That was when i asked Steve Hunter who confirmed to me when I asked him (if you play or know his style it isn't too difficult to tell) the solos he played on the B$B album which were; the pedal steel on Hel...

Re: Glen’s luney fuzz
I’ve always loved Glen’s fuzz sound on Luney Tune. I’ve often over the years wondered which fuzz pedal he used. Of course I realise now he could have just been plugged directly into the desk overdriving the preamp. Do you know? Also I loved his fuzz tone on Easy Action , it sounds almost sub octave...

Re: Snakes! Guillotines! Electric Chairs!
I'm not sure why we didn't have an index. I can look into that. I'd guess it was due to the cost of the extra pages, or because we ran up against a deadline, or perhaps we didn't want to omit any more stories to accommodate that. I turned in 135,000 words and got a standard first author's deal for ...

Hi Dennis, The subject of lyrics made me think of Sing Low Sweet Cheerio my favourite song on Pretties for You. I think this is a masterpiece, i love how Michael shares lead vocals with Alice.

Re: LYRICS
This is a complex question that calls for a marathon answer but I'll just pick a few examples. We were a very collaborative group that developed most of our songs in the same room. Creating a good song from nothing is the hardest part. Making a good song into a great song can require changing it be...

Re: LYRICS
My question is: Are there any lyrics to songs in which Alice is given a song writing credit that were not written by him? I understand that songwriting can be a collaboration in all aspects, and that song lyrics could be written by one or many of the writers. It seems that when a singer is credited...
