Alice Alcohol v Cocaine

[recoop]

The only debate from people I knew was whether Alice was using Coke or Speed around Special Forces time- very speeded up and grandiose at times but either could bring about that- both might speed up, perhaps Coke might be better for the grandiose statement- so Coke it was and as you say Mr Barlow many fans had guessed right

From mr.barlow:
"The Nightmare Returns tour was a pivitol event in the career of Alice and they treated it as such. ."

I would add "Constrictor" to that as well given it was his first album after his most recent rehabilitation. In fact, this is partly why Kane Roberts was recommended as a collaborator given that he was a fitness fanatic and was considered someone who would be a good influence.

Good try but not relevant in this context.

Can be every bit as dangerous with mood swings and rage. Knowing Alice's addictive personality he could have easilly bulked up to 220 and have been very threatening live.

I clearly remember one thing that a record dealer told me, back in the nineties.

That guy was in the crowd at the gig of February the 9th, 1982, in Metz - Special Forces Tour.

Apparently, the concert began with a one hour delay or so, because..... Alice didn't want to go on stage before he could be given some cocaine !! They had to find and rush some cocaine to him, and this cocaine dose was supposedly brought to him by plane ! (!!!!) I don't know how the last statement here could have been true, but that's what this record delaer told me. He also said laughingly that Alice taking cocaine was not a secret back then.

As I said, I knew that for about twenty years now, but as it seemed it wasn't well received to talk about the subject here, you'll understand why I kept it to myself.

Nice attempt at humour.

Probably Captain's Tyler and Perry flying the plane.

A 220lb Alice would be a stretch in Spandex - might bring the crowds in though
