I like Dragontown too! I am not sure why it is so disliked. Triggerman is great for a start.WeirdKat wrote:Alicehunter2000 wrote:P.S. It's nice to know someone else likes Dragontown besides Me and Si
You're not alone. I like Dragontown too!
Anyway, back to Zombie Dance. I gave it a listen at first and thought "average", but now I am really getting in to the melody and the spooky atmosphere. Makes sense with it being about Voodoo.
I'm pure non entity, don't even look for me. I watch you when you sleep. I am the triggerman........I'm always out of sight. A shadow in the mist.

Definitely the best song on the album, and the best Alice Cooper song since... oh, the Seventies? It would have fit on Love it to Death, School's Out or Welcome to My Nightmare. Especially LitD, Black Juju fading into this, brilliant.
I also get a strong Stones vibe from it, mostly from "Love is Strong", which has the same kind of harmonica parts.
This is what Alice does best: being Alice. Not trying to sound like the White Stripes or Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Just classic Alice.

Let me contradict myself here....alienspice wrote:I think he was really really trying to sing like Mick Jagger, especially in the first verse. Other than that I didn't really get the Stones vibe, except in the fact that alot of Stones songs have the same bluesy feel to them.
having listened to the song over and over again, and especially having heard Alice play "Walk on Gilded Splinters" on his radio show, I now think he was trying to sound like Dr John, which makes sense. He succeeds.
you look like you'd fit in the trunk of my car

I'd say that's a little more accurate than the Stones. I like the feel of this song. Definately didn't expect what I heard the first time I heard it. With the title "Zombie Dance", I thought it'd mabye be more heavy or horror-ish. I was pleasantly surprised. Alice needs to play more harmonica too.alienspice wrote:I now think he was trying to sound like Dr John, which makes sense. He succeeds.
All of the above is just my opinion.
