$40 is a fair price for what is the best Alice Cooper live album ever released - blows that Paris release out of the waterDaggers & Contracts wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 1:21 amReally $40/$60 for what is basically an Ep?
I'm sorry that a vinyl edition is not in my price range. Sure the goodies help but as long as I feel I can hear it down the road,(& some tracks of which I've had the pleasure) I'm not that much of a completest.
Sorry to say.![]()

When I saw them in Glasgow last year it fulfilled a lifetime ambition but it also closed the book for me on the original band. I’ll probably buy this at some point if it gets some form of full release but until then I’m more than content to stick with what I have and spend my money elsewhere.
For some reason Postage charges to the UK seem HUGE. Look at any of the recent things like DD's campaign or Nita's album bundles. Often the postage is more then the actual item you want. I agree it doesn't seem to cost quite as much going the other way.While Heaven Wept wrote: ↑Wed Nov 28, 2018 10:02 amReceived my copy today and it looks great. The only thing that slightly concerns me is receiving an email from Chris asking to transfer $38 for shipping. That seems massively excessive to me. I send vinyls from the UK to the states all the time and it doesn't cost half that.
Would like to think they can still play together but in all honesty I've tried to get excited and can't. Would never complain about ACG gigs as everyone has the right to make their own decisions but I haven't been gripped by the new material they have contributed to and moved on a long time ago from the 'classic' albums (always happy to go back every now and again though).

I couldn’t disagree with you more, except the new music part. I was at both Nashville shoes and Golden God’s in 2011, and I think it’s a shame that Alice does not do anything with the OG’s with the exception of a handful of 5 song gigs. This new live album is exceptionally good, especially for an impromptu show. I’m very disappointed the 50th anniversary was not acknowledged in 2018. I sincerely hope that they can play some shows together in 2019 while 4 of the surviving members of Alice Cooper are still capable of performing
Absolutely! With such a long and diverse career covering 2 very defined eras (and then eras within these eras) it is entirely expected that not everyone will get excited by every new song or release.
I can see some not liking the new ACG material (however, I think some of the Dennis songs on Paranormal, like ‘Fireball’, are very good), but as far as shows...I just think it would be nice to do the solo/ACG thing in some of the big markets in 2019. (I’d love for a full ACG set, but I’m trying to be realistic here. I know they can do it, but I doubt it’ll happen) Fans deserve to see these guys . they’re not getting any younger, and I think the whole situation with how the band ended is sad. The band didn’t know it was over until it was over. I think it would just be respectable to give some closure to it. Not just for the band, but for Alice himself. Go out with the same guys that you started this journey with!del wrote: ↑Wed Nov 28, 2018 11:09 pmWould like to think they can still play together but in all honesty I've tried to get excited and can't.

Problem is, they have done almost exactly what you are asking for just last year. It presumably just wasn't close enough to you that you could get there for whatever reason (no judgement), but they did do it. They gave you that. What you want is for them to do it again closer to you, which is fair enough, but you can`t say they haven`t done exactly what you ask for.VinceLeeRose wrote: ↑Thu Nov 29, 2018 7:39 amFans deserve to see these guys . they’re not getting any younger, and I think the whole situation with how the band ended is sad.

As much as I love and adore Alice, I need something more than seeing my favorite vocalist fronting the worlds best cover band. I want to see Alice with THE band.
