He plays the leader of The Jets: "Some bad Cats from 4th street comes down to our alley.."

Re: The Beginning of the Comeback of Alice Cooper (1986)
As someone who became an instant fan due to Mtv's "live" broadcast of the comeback show, I could clearly see how calculated this course of action was. Shock rock (I hate that term, it was metal..) with splatter theatrics were a big thing back then, and the time was ripe for an Alice comeback. We had...

Re: The 'Secret' Next Album
A tour with the OG's? Sure, I'd be all for it, bet let's be realistic here. Two things at the very least; You can't do that and say "no theatrics" because that simply doesn't fly. They don't have to take part in them, as in the old days, because Alice has a road crew who could easily play those part...

Re: The Marketing of Alice Cooper
I'm surprised how few performance videos, other than live clips, have ever been made given his very visual/ theatrical style. Nothing from School's Out or earlier.. ABC In Concert 1972, the Killer live DVD on Super Duper Alice Cooper says hello. But yes, it's a travesty. You'd think with such a the...

Re: Alice's Band Mates: An Appreciation
Alice is best with two guitarists. Namely two leads. The Nightmare Returns band was phenomenal for so many reasons but I think it was a missed opportunity not to use Artie Funaro (devlin 7/Jonny Dime) as a second lead. The guy is an incredible talent and I could only imagine what a guitar duo he an...

Re: If You Could Interview Alice...
why he ditched horror for comedy. He was born again (or whatever the term is) when he did TLT and that is an absolute beast and his for the most part a very dark horrific album. It cant be religion why he ditched it. Id be interested to know. Of course not. Prince Of Darkness is a highly religious ...

As someone who became a fan thanks to The Nightmare returns, I say of course would like that.

Re: What's the farthest you've ever traveled to see Alice?
Norway to Sweden; Live In The Flesh tour, cancelled due to 80's Norwegian censorship.. That should probably be added to the timeline section, for that matter. (Bands like WASP were also cancelled at that time)
Norway to Denmark, Psychodrama tour.

Re: "Road" - Reviews
I actually find myself liking this album way more than both Paranormal and Detroit stories. But yes, all of the songs are for some reason too short and not given enough time to breathe. "100 More Miles" especially, it should have been twice as long, probably even had a long fade-out and obviously be...

You may be right regarding the rain..
I attended a show on the Theater Of Death tour, in pouring rain and thunder, something that definitely added to the atmosphere.

Re: "Road" - Reviews
It hasn't arrived for me yet, so I gave in and listened to it on youtube. Certainly beats Detroit stories and Paranormal, much more coherent and even though you really can't tell who's playing what, there's a unified sound here you don't get when you have 10.000 guest musicians on the former albums....

Re: Modification
Yes. This show is definitely Alice at his most vicious, sans the black widow skit which seems a little corny, and basically "the other side of the coin" of The Nightmare Returns. I'd even go as far as to say Live in The Flesh surpasses The Nightmare Returns, both regarding theatrics and the music; t...

EDIT
While we're on the subject of this particular tour, this one is probably the best bootleg video from the tour:

Re: Modification
Yes it does, assuming the video is actually from the that date. There seems to be a lot of confusion, at least to me, over this German show censorship and which shows suffered. There are several videos from various German shows (all pretty poor quality) but all appear to be uncensored, including th...

Oh, I'll NEVER stop being a fan because of that! It's up to him what he wants to belive. I did however find the last chapter of Golf Monster quite a challenge to read through, it was a tiny bit preachy, you might say. And he has made some pretty condescending comments about the whole Norwegian black...

Re: Your biggest disappointment in Alice's career
Yeah, okay.. Religion... It just doesn't fit rock'n'roll.. To paraphrase Alice: "Rock'n'roll is invented to kill politics, not encourage it!" Same thing can be said about religious propaganda...
