My allegiance started to waver with BP and has been in decline since. I held on through DD but lost interest after ACAS and W2MN. Didn't get HV. Alice's song arrangements have become simple and predictable with no creative edge, which is exaggerated by his tendency to be light-hearted and funny whe...

I was hoping for a more artistic cover. Anyway, that's not really important. Hopefully the music will be better. I disagree. For the overall enjoyment of an album cover art is very important. The packaging of B$B and WTMN strongly enhanced both albums and albums like Constrictor and W2MN bogged dow...

Let us pray for an improvement...

Alice is a performer that feels he needs to be doing something with his hands or literally to be "doing something" not just singing. Note how he always holds a crutch for 18 even though the song is so great it doesn't need any props. So when he came onstage without makeup or costume with MM in front...

So far I like the way this is being packaged. Paranormal is a great title and hoping for a cool album cover which by itself would be a vast improvement over W2MN. If we can't have a full reunion album (which is what I wanted) I like packaging the three songs as a special disc with live music. That's...

I like the album title Paranormal. Praying for cool album art to go with it and hopefully nothing along the lines of W2MN. My main concern with Alice working with Ezrin is they try to be funny and silly a bit too much which I feel hurts the flow of some albums like W2MN. Alice has a solid satirical ...

It's not a black and white thing. Most artists don't release music strictly for profit or strictly for enjoyment. It's a balance of both in varying degrees depending on the artist. I'm sure for Alice that both factors are important.

I agree with critics on this board that say RYFAY is better than Constrictor, but both are poor. Album cover is beyond embarrassing. Silver lining: Prince of Darkness.

It's strange how some people get stuck in your mind as eternally young and it's jarring when reality sets in and you hear they died. She seemed like a fine woman.

I agree with everyone about how bad the movie looks but not about the song. It reminds me why Alice collaborating with the original band could be so interesting. You take the music and have Alice write different lyrics, get a good producer to record and arrange and it could be a very good song. Bett...

It was Shep and Joe Greenberg (along with Leo Fenn) who harrassed Jack Richardson to the point where he sent Ezrin to see the band play, so your scenario isn't realistic. I probably didn't explain it well. My point was if Shep was never involved someone else would have noticed the potential of the ...

If there never was Shep Gordon no one would have ever heard of Alice Cooper. This is a parlor game to be sure, but nothing wrong with parlor games! Here's another alternate reality: If Shep never meets Alice then the band is scrambling to find a manager so they can record with Frank Zappa. Recordin...

Just in interviews he repeats the same false stories (chicken in toronto etc, Hendrix connection etc) but in addition to that, in my opinion, he engineered the breakup of the original band Pretty much for the same reasons I don't plan to read the book. Had I felt it would be an honest account I wou...

Glad to see Dirty Diamonds made the list, I'm a fan of that album also. Here is my Top 10:

6. School's Out
7. The Last Temptation
8. Flush the Fashion
9. Dirty Diamonds
10. Welcome to My Nightmare

I agree on all counts. It beats covers in my book but not by a lot. So many other great choices out there. What a pleasant shock it would be to hear a live version of "Pass the Gun Around."

Just read another interview on the election promo and there was this quote by Alice: "The great thing about the original band is when we broke up, we didn’t have any bad blood at all. We were all still best of friends." He says this a lot and it's incredible the amount of denial or just plain fibbin...

One of my least favorite Alice songs but it sounds good live. Have to agree, would rather hear these songs than covers.

Many people dislike Hillary Clinton especially here in Alabama to the point that this still wouldn't surprise me no matter who she was running against, and it is not just Trump supporters who hate her here. She has very few fans in this state compared to those who dislike her. Many on the far left ...

I'm not taking any political side here but unfortunately Alice might need to suspend the political part of the show. It might be too risky for the performers. It's great satire but some people take politics far too seriously and can't seem to control their reactions. They demonize the candidate they...

Fittingly it looks like the picture being used in the Elected poster is from that bad cover art for W2MN. It seems like the cool stuff from the past is being updated with gimmick stuff running on automatic today.
