Let's be honest for a moment. Lord Sutch was barely known in the UK music scene I wasn’t there at the time but I have a collection of NME magazines from the 60’s and he was regularly featured. I gather that he and his band were a popular live act rather than a chart sensation. That kind of underlin...

….and it’s the original guys only

The last time it was only the original guys was "Pretties for You."

From the front page: "Alice showed up at DJ Eddie Truck's 40th Anniversary bash at the House Of Blues in Las Vegas this week to play a short three song set backed by Glen Sobel, Orianthi, Robbie Crane with Van Halen's Michael Anthony joining in on School's Out with Sheryl Cooper and Kip Winger on b...

I am of two minds. 1. I am glad that we are not oversaturated, ala AC/DC Back in Black. 2. I am sad that we don't see ANYTHING to pick from besides the crap that we've seen for years. I have said before that I find the selection from the "Official Store" to be substandard. Here's hoping that someon...

I guess I'm a bad fan. I had never heard of "Slicker..." until this thread. I checked it out on You Tube, and the performance is surprisingly good. The band members were unusual, so I had to look them up. Jefferson Kewley's guitar sounds remarkably good. I'd never heard of him until now. The things...

Since we are talking about that era, let's go back one album and discuss "Goes to Hell." This has always been W2MN to me. They even go as far as referencing Steven on the sleeve. Regardless, I think the album stands up pretty well. In the plus column, we have Alice doing some big vocal work, the in...

I bought the Trash hoodie also and it's pretty nice. i have had people stop me in the store wanting to know where they could get one.

This kind of goes with what I'm talking about. That Trash hoodie is completely sold out. I wonder why it's still listed with other stuff for sale? To rub it in?

This album has always been too much for me. Too much production, too many sounds, and Alice looked like he was channeling Randolph Mantooth . I remember joking with my friend Dave that they should have called it "Alice Cooper Goes to Hollywood." (I thought that was pretty clever for a 13 year old.)...

Seems like there was never a big change when the marketing/merchandise changed hands a while ago. Same old same old, as far as this discerning buyer is concerned. I have only ever paid for one thing through the official store, and it was not a stupid teddy bear. Hopefully, they are gearing up for s...

Hi Dennis. I hesitate to ask, because this is not band related, but here goes... Are you willing to share what you were doing when you learned about Kennedy's death? It's such a fascinating slice in time, and many people remember the exact moment they found out. My mom specifically remembered hangi...

Another grandpa here, although not as grumpy. (Well, maybe sometimes.) It has always irked me that these keyboard warriors are very loud when they’re protected by anonymity. My approach has only ever been, “don’t type anything that you wouldn’t say to their face.” Comedians who laugh at their own w...
