I'm still holding out for some UK dates from Alice! The current band sounds really good on the videos I've watched on youtube. |

It's nice to see Alice adding oddities to his set occasionally. Teenage Frankenstein, Freedom and Prince of Darkness would also be nice to hear again from that era. Alice is the opposite of Maiden. Maiden play too much new stuff and Alice plays too many songs we've heard a million times before. :skull::skull::skull: However throwing in a few hard rockers always livens things up. |

That version of '18' sounds really good. I was expecting something sloppy, but I was surprised Shame I don't have a record player so I can't get it! |

Nice work, Susan. Are you doing a rundown of Hollywood Vampires - the album? With someone who has had such a distinguished career as Alice i too feel he shouldn't be playing cover versions or not as many as he does. He has so many great songs of his own that would fill those slots. If he wants to do a cover how about Twisted Sister's Be Chrool To Your Scuel? |

As much as I would like to, I don't think I can avoid the Vampires, so I will have to give them an entry, although I will probably only 'review' the original songs on the album and just give a passing mention to the covers. Then there are the numerous compilation albums released by various record companies over the years - some official and authorised, some cheap rip-offs. Then there are the feature films that Alice has been in, and any television appearances of note (for example, Alice appeared on 'Top Of The Pops' 20 times between July '72 and May '94!). People of note that Alice has worked with, or spoken about at length. There is an awful lot of trivia that wouldn't fit in with any of the information already posted that is interesting Finally, I need to do my 'personal lists'. Now I have been thru EVERYTHING, I need to sit down and work out my favourite (say) 50 songs from 'Pretties For You' to 'Welcome 2 My Nightmare' and post them! |
Quote:
Your personal choices would be interesting and something that could spark debate especially if you allow others to produce a top whatever list as well. For example i'm sure mine might be quite different to yours. It's a shame you don't rate Kiss as much as Alice. A similar thread on Kiss would be fascinating reading. |
Quote:
Then they did the unthinkable and when they took off the make-up, they became just another 80's heavy metal band, similar to my comments about Alice circa 'Constrictor'. The one thing that set them apart from every other band was now gone, and they were generic. 'Lick It Up' has some good songs on it, but I am struggling to think of anything from 'Asylum'. It was about this time I stopped listening to them Of course there are a lot of similarities between them and Alice, but where one is a theatrical the other uses a lot of theatrics - I can't see Alice using explosions or pyrotechnics in a show, and I cannot imagine KISS using a prop in a song to tell a story I also think that the relationship between the artist and the public is all important. During my research into this thread, I have read a lot of articles and watched a lot of interviews regarding Alice, and it seems that literally no-one (other than politicians and 'the establishment') have got a bad word to say about him. He seems to be genuinely loved by everyone, and he returns this love. He is a GOOD GUY. On the other hand, there are a lot of people who really do not like Paul Stanley and (especially) Gene Simmons and it seems they both treat their fans with contempt - why else would they be trying to pass off Tommy Thayer as the Space Ace and Eric Singer as The Cat? Why not give them their own make-up designs like they did with Eric Carr and Vinnie Vincent? Then, look at the relationship between the artist and his peers. Can you imagine KISS going out as a support act for another band (such as Motley Crue) for as long as Alice did? I like KISS, but my love affair ended with them in the mid 80's when it felt like they turned their backs on me! There certainly IS a place for a KISS thread on the forum, but I don't think I am the person to start and upkeep it |
APPENDICE #1: The Hollywood Vampires The original 'Hollywood Vampires' was a "celebrity drinking club" formed by Alice in Mid September 1973, while the band were making the 'Good To See You Again' film and recording songs for the 'Muscle Of Love' album. The way to get into the 'club' was to drink all the other members under the table, which was never going to be an easy thing to do! The principal members of the group were: Alice Cooper, Keith Moon (The Who), Ringo Starr (The Beatles), Micky Dolenz (The Monkees) and Harry Nilsson. On the 'Prime Cuts' DVD, Alice says: "...The Speakeasy and Tramps were the place to be in London. There was a little loft at the Rainbow Bar and Grill in LA (W. Hollywood), they only had that for the club: every night those same people. Every once in a while John Lennon would come into town or Keith Emerson and they would be honorable members of the night. They still have a plaque there at the Rainbow, where it says 'The Lair of the Hollywood Vampires.'" Honorable members of the group included: Keith Allison (Paul Revere And The Raiders), John Belushi, Marc Bolan, Mal Evans (road manager with The Beatles), Bernie Taupin, Joe Walsh (The Eagles) and Klaus Voormann (Manfred Mann, The Plastic Ono Band) Jump forward 40 years! The 'Hollywood Vampires' project began around 2011 when Alice and Johnny Depp worked together on the 'Dark Shadows' movie. This friendship resulted in Johnny joining Alice on stage at the 100 Club in London in June 2011, where a number of cover songs were performed. [For more information about this show, see post #398 on page 40]. This concept blossomed into the idea of recording a full blown covers album. As this idea came together, it morphed from being an Alice Cooper solo covers record (with guest star Johnny Depp) into a full blown project in it's own right with the addition of Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry. Alice's history with Perry goes back decades and includes a previous attempt to work together prior to the 'Constrictor' album, which ended when Alice went to film 'Monster Dog' and Perry rejoined Aerosmith The album was recorded between 2012 - 2014 and I find it a strange album. Some of the songs work, while others are very poor. I also find it weird that some people who were in the drinking club do not have any tribute played to them (Mickey Dolenz, Joe Walsh), while others have been included presumably for the simple reason they were heavy drinkers Anyway, the album includes the following tracks for which I am only going to pass comment on the original songs, although I have linked the songs to YouTube. Just click on the title and make up your own mind: 1: 'The Last Vampire', which is a spoken introduction by Sir Christopher Lee, reading a passage from the book 'Dracula'. This was the last thing he did before his untimely death. Bob Ezrin plays the keyboards http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylexpljl3L0 2: 'Raise The Dead', an original song. Additional musicians were Tommy Henriksen and Bruce Witkin on guitar, Witkin on bass and Glen Sobel on drums. It's a good opening, and very reminiscent of classic Alice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAwTkk82eUM 3: 'My Generation', originally recorded by The Who and previously played live by Alice, most notably on the 'Brutal Planet' tour. Guest musician was Zac Starkey on drums 4: 'Whole Lotta Love', originally recorded by Led Zeppelin. Presumably this is dedicated to John Bonham, but as far as I'm aware, he was never a member of the group. Guest musicians are Brian Johnson (AC/DC) on vocals, Orianthi and Joe Walsh on guitar, Kip Winger on bass and Zac Starkey on drums 5: 'I Got A Line On You', originally recorded by Spirit. No idea why this has been included. Guest musicians are Perry Farrell (Jane's Addiction) on vocals, Joe Walsh on guitar, Kip Winger on bass and Abe Laboriel Jr (Paul McCartney's band) on drums 6: 'Five To One'/'Break On Through', originally recorded by The Doors. Jim Morrison was a good friend of Alice, and has already been referred to in some Alice songs. It's thought that 'Desperado' from the 'Killer' album is about him, and he is name checked in 'From The Inside': "Proposed a toast to Jimi's ghost'. Guest musicians are Charlie Judge on keyboards, Robbie Krieger (The Doors) on guitar and Abe Laboriel Jr on drums 7: 'One'/'Jump In The Fire', originally recorded by Harry Nilssen. These are not Metallica songs, as some people think! Guest musicians are Perry Farrell on vocals, Bob Ezrin on Keyboards, Robbie Krieger on guitar, Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) on drums 8: 'Come And Get It', originally recorded by Badfinger. Again, I am not sure why this was included. Yes, it was written by Paul McCartney, but again I'm not aware of him being a member of the 'club'. It was never recorded by The Beatles as a band, so it cannot be for either Ringo or John Lennon. Guest musicians are Paul McCartney on bass, piano and vocals, Abe Laboriel Jr on drums 9: 'Jeepster', originally recorded by T.Rex. No guest musicians on this one 10: 'Cold Turkey', originally recorded by John Lennon. Again, no guest musicians 11: 'Manic Depression', originally recorded by Jimi Hendrix. He was dead before the 'club' formed, so presumably this is a tribute to someone who died through drug abuse. Guest musicians are Bob Ezrin on keyboards, Joe Walsh on guitar, Zac Starkey on drums 12: 'Itchycoo Park', originally recorded by The Small Faces, and presumably included as a tribute to Steve Marriott. No guest musicians on this one 13: 'School's Out'/'Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2', originally recorded by The Alice Cooper Group and Pink Floyd. Presumably a tribute to Glen Buxton and Syd Barrett, although he had left Floyd a long time before this song was recorded. Guest musicians are Slash on guitar, Dennis Dunaway on bass and Neal Smith on drums 14: 'My Dead Drunk Friends', an original song. Again, this is a good, sleazy Alice song, which makes me wish he had recorded a full album of material like this, instead of the cover songs. Guest musicians are Bob Ezrin on keyboards http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFxpmL6bIKM In February 2016, a 'delux' version of the album was released, with three additional songs: 15: 'I'm A Boy', originally recorded by The Who 16: 'Seven And Seven Is', originally recorded by Arthur Lee & Love, and previously covered by Alice on the 'Special Forces' album 17: 'As Bad As I Am', which is an original song. A good fast rocker to end the album on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KliQs3_1rk |
Nicely rounded up. Great work, Susan. :devilbanana: |

Alice Cooper Drummer To Play Mob Boss In New Movie | Contactmusic.com The drummer in question is Neal Smith, who was with the original ACG, and the film is entitled "Desolation Angels: Rise Of The BOAS" Presumably this is the theme/main song from the movie, complete with clips http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgBHS...ature=youtu.be Doesn't really move me, I'm afraid |
Alice Cooper's Top 10 Halloween Songs to Die For It also looks like his current band have recorded an album away from their leader - Alice Cooper band recorded ’solo’ album in hotel rooms The last concert in the 2016 leg of the 'Spend The Night With Alice Cooper' tour happens tonight (October 30th) in Los Angeles. Then the Vampires play a single show on December 3rd in Phoenix, Arizona and that's it for the year At time of writing, there is a single date that has been announced for 2017 - May 5th in Oklahoma - but presumably more will be announced at a later date (including some in the UK with a new show!) |
November 5th, 1971 The Alice Cooper Group make their live English debut, recording two songs for 'The Old Grey Whistle Test' The songs performed were: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQTLTb3ulQU and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svGTWeNHOic and the show was broadcast four days later, on November 9th, 1971 |
Alice Cooper, Keith Moon, Harry Nilsson and Marc Bolan in the studio, November 1972 https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...2d&oe=589AA875 Sadly nothing seems to have come from this session |
APPENDICE #2: Film and television Part 1: Alice Cooper Group and Alice Cooper Filmography Alice has made a number of appearances on film. Some of these have already been mentioned in this thread, but there are others. My criteria for this section is that it has to have a run time of at least 60 minutes, and it has to have been released to the cinema and/or it has to have been available on video and/or DVD at some point. Whenever possible, I have linked the appearance to YouTube 'Diary Of A Mad Housewife' (1970) features the Alice Cooper Group's first appearance on the big screen during a party scene. They playing a cover of a Steppenwolf song entitled 'Ride With Me'. The scene descends into chaos when the band tear open a pillow and covers the crowd with feathers while letting of fire extinguishers. This was a stunt that was taken from their stage shows 'Medicine Ball Caravan (1971) is a documentary/concert film. The band perform 'Black Juju'. Although the version in the film is represented as a live recording, it's not. There is a voice at the beginning "announcing" the performance mixed with the music, sound and audience, and the end is also edited. It's the album version! When the film was originally released in the UK in the early '70s, the bands name was very prominent in the advertisements. This led to many disappointed fans going to see the film expecting to see an Alice Cooper film which is is not. 'Sextette' (1978) is a truly poor film, notable for the fact that it was Mae West's final movie. Alice appears in the film playing a role - a hotel porter (so no make-up!), who sings a song called 'Next, Next' (written by Van McCoy). This track is otherwise unavailable. Originally, it was planned for Alice to sing 'No Time For Tears' while Mae West cried, but didn't approve, saying "...It was a very good song, but it's a real downer. And it comes right near the end. If it was near the beginning I could overcome it, know what I mean? Leave 'em smiling. Anyway, the situation is completely wrong for Mae West. Who ever heard of Mae West crying because any man left her? They're the ones who are crying. So when he wrote a new, different number, around the idea 'Next next next', looking forward to the next man, you see? It's bright, it's up, it's right. There are enough things around to depress people, without us adding to them"". The original 'No Time For Tears' is available on the 'Life And Crimes' box set. 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band' (1978) features Alice as the character 'Father Sun' performing The Beatles song 'Because'. At the time, Alice was in hospital recovering from alcoholism and had to get a special passout to appear in the film on the condition he returned immediately afterwards to resume treatment which he did. Also, this is one of the few public appearances of Alice sporting a mustache. 'Roadie' (1980) also featured Meatloaf and Debbie Harry. The film was inspired by the song 'Road Rats' from the album 'Lace and Whiskey' and is the story of a guy (Meatloaf) who is a real wizz at fixing things. His girlfriend wants to travel to see Alice in concert. During the film, three songs are performed - 'Pain', 'Road Rats' and a short part of 'Only Women Bleed' 'Monster Dog' and 'Prince Of Darkness' have already been mentioned in this thread. Alice appeared in a non musical role in John Carpenters 'Prince Of Darkness' and as Freddie Kruger's abusive father in 'Freddies Dead: The Final Nightmare'. 'Wayne's World' (1992) has been mentioned already. He appears very briefly for less than a minute at the start of the 1999 film 'The Attic Expeditions'. 'Suck' (2009) featured Alice, Calico, Iggy Pop and Henry Rollins. He has a cameo in the 2012 film 'Bigfoot' Finally, Alice appears as himself in 'Dark Shadows' (with Johnny Depp), performing 'No More Mr. Nice Guy' and 'Only Women Bleed'. For this movie, which was set in 1972, the special effects people used an effect to make Alice look younger then he obviously was when filming, and closer to the age he would have been at the time. He also wore a costume similar to that of the 1972 shows and they even hired actors to play the original band. Why didn't they invite the actual Alice Cooper Group themselves? Who knows Part 2: Television Appearances Alice has appeared on hundreds (thousands?) of TV shows over the years. He belongs to both the SAG and AFTRA actors associations. A full list of every TV appearance is next to impossible as he's made so many but here are some of the more important/interesting appearances he has made 'Top Of The Pops' was England's foremost music programme between the 1960's – 90's. Alice has been featured at least 20 times, either performing, on video or on record! 'Schools Out' was performed in 1972 on 13th July, 20th July, 27th July, 10th August, 17th August, 24th August, 28th December and again in July 2000. The video for 'Elected' was played in 1972 on 12th October, 19th October and 26th October and performed live in July 2000. 1973 saw a single play for the video of 'Hello Hooray', and a repeat play of 'No More Mr. Nice Guy' on 27th April and 11th May. 'Teenage Lament '74' had a single airing, being played over the closing credits on 7th February 1974. The video for 'Poison' was played in 1989 on 27th July, 3rd August, 17th August and 25th December. 'Hey Stoopid' had its video played on 27th June 1991 and 'Lost In America' was performed live on 19th May 1994 'ABC In Concert' was a live music American TV show. The first show, broadcast on November 24th, 1972, featured Curtis Mayfield, Seals & Croft, Bo Diddley, Jethro Tull and Alice Cooper. Four Alice songs were broadcast from a show at Hofsta University in Long Island, NY . The show starts with 'Eighteen' and after an advert break continues with 'Gutter Cats Vs. The Jets', 'Killer' and 'Schools Out'. However, fans in Cincinnati,didn't get to see beyond the first few minutes of Alice's violent theatrics. The owner of WKRC-TV, Lawrence H. Rogers II was so horrified by what he saw that he ordered the the show off the air immediately. Channel 12's decision to protect its viewers was responded to within minutes with a phoned-in bomb threat and several car loads of youths picketing the station. Some 4,000 letters of protest, many profane, poured in over the next few days, the biggest mail load that station officials could remember. Station manager Ro Grignon told TV Guide that he wasn't opposed to rock concerts. "In fact, we think they're going to be a smashing success. We simply found Alice Cooper a little tense." On March 5th, 1974, Alice appeared in an episode of 'The Snoop Sisters', which stared Helen Hayes. The episode, entitled 'The Devil Made Me Do It' featured Alice played 'the Warlock, Prince' while wearing a skeleton body suit. In more recent years, one UK TV has started re-showing The Snoop Sisters, including the Alice episode, during it's daytime schedule for a few months. However sometimes they seemed to show the complete version, and other times they are showing a cut version which had part of Alice's scene cut from it. 'The Nightmare' television special from 1975 has already been mentioned in the thread On June 6th, 1977, he appeared on 'The Tonight Show with Johnny Carlson, performing 'Lace And Whiskey' dressed in '40's gangster gear and Tommy gun with the giant chickens from the stage show. Possibly his most famous appearance on TV was 'The Muppet Show' on November 2nd 1978 where he performed three songs – 'Welcome To My Nightmare', 'You And Me'and 'School's Out' Alice appeared on 'The Midnight Special' on February 9th 1979, hosting the show and performing a 25 minute set based around songs taken from the 'From The Inside' album |

Really like that. A good modern metal song, nice and heavy as well as catchy, i can imagine driving listening to that. Very much in the Rob Zombie style but with southern rock hints of the likes of Black Label Society. Not sure what Calico adds to that song above looking sexy. Maybe she enhances the backing vocals to give them that catchier less formulaic edge. Anyways i'll be getting the album. :rockon: |
The first European show of 2017 appears to have been announced. Alice is due to appear at the Fezen Festival in Hungary on August 3rd https://scontent-cdg2-1.xx.fbcdn.net...a5&oe=5890A430 Hopefully there will be some UK dates around this time, if not sooner |

"More recently, Alice stirred a buzz among longtime fans when reports hinted he was writing new songs with his surviving original band members who produced such classic 1970s albums as “Love It to Death,” “Killer,” “School’s Out,” “Billion Dollar Babies” and “Muscle of Love.” “I said, ‘If we could actually rebirth the sound of “Killer” or “Love It to Death,” I would be very interested (in writing and recording),” Alice said. “We’ve always been on a very good, professional relationship. I said, ‘Let’s send some of this to (legendary producer) Bob Ezrin and see what we’ve got.’ It’s really an experiment at this point, and we’re not sure if anything will come of it, but we’re gonna spend some time in September going through these songs and see if we can get some hooks.”" Alice Cooper promises rock, shock and stitches at ACL Live show | www.mystatesman.com It's also been reported during a radio interview with Mitch Lafon that Tommy Henriksen, Nita Strauss and Glen Sobel from the current band are working on a record. Quotes from the interview: Tommy Henriksen -The next new Alice Cooper record: "Alice is talking about records all the time. I know that there is a process right now going on - putting a new Alice Cooper record together, so we'll see what happens." Nita Strauss - solo album recording process: "It's going really really well. The first track is going to be released January 20th via Steve Vai's label Favored Nations. It's a compilation called 'She Rocks' - it's myself, Jennifer Batten, Orianthi and a bunch of other female guitar players showcasing the female side of shred." Tommy Henriksen - the upcoming 'Alice Cooper band' album (without Alice): "It's actually finished. We're just sitting on it. We recorded it in all the hotel rooms." 1on1 Mitch Lafon - 266 Alice Cooper's band How much of this is true and how much is 'Alice rhetoric' remains to be seen! |

That's three single dates in European countries between the end of July and the start of August. I hope there isn't going to be a single UK festival date to tie in with these |

I know it means nothing, but Alice played Bloodstock in 2012 The only headliners that have been announced at the moment are Amon Amarth |
APPENDICE #3: Self Indulgence - The Final Lap Top 50 Alice Cooper Songs Over the years, Alice has recorded over 270 songs. Some of these have become classics, while others have been forgotten as soon as they were put on vinyl. Here is a list of my favourite 50, but as anyone who has ever posted in the Top Ten Tuesday thread knows, five minutes after I have pressed 'enter', I will have changed my mind! They are listed in chronological order, and I have highlighted the 10 that I consider to be the best of the best. (I have cheated on Chop, Chop, Chop/Gail/Roses On White Lace and included all three as one of the best):
You have probably noticed that there are 4 major omissions from my list - I'm 18, The Ballad Of Dwight Frye, Schools Out and Poison. These are essentials songs, and should be on the list, but familiarity breeds contempt! I have heard them so many times, I am bored with them!! They are always played live and it seems that two on them are on every rock compilation I own, and crop up in every teen comedy film I have ever seen Closing So, here I am, sitting on a sofa in the dark, listening to the rain hammering down outside. Somehow that seems appropriate. I started this overview on April 1st, 2015 and 19 months later I have reached the end. To quote The Grateful Dead, 'it's been a long, strange trip'. I have chronicled a band moving through many different musical genres - psychedelic head-trip, glam, storytellers, heavy metal, industrial, pop metal. I have highlighted the ups and downs of a man who has been both a musical innovator and a musical imitator. I have shown how fast the music industry moves and how Alice influenced an entire musical movement, but after taking a couple of years off, returned to discover he had been left behind. I have shown how a man who constantly sings about the darker side of life, breaking many subject taboos, has become one of the most respected and respectable people in an industry that is more known for turning on people. Lastly, I hope I that I have introduced some people on the forum onto songs that they had never heard before Alice Cooper - I salute you Sir. Long may you continue to rebel, defy authority, get killed on stage and give fun to millions! |
You haven't finished just yet, Susan. We do need a buyers guide. :confused: You have to rank the albums and dvd's in order of preference.Saying which are the essential, (classics) the superior (Reputation cementing), the good (those worth exploring) and the ones to avoid (if any). Then you're done... until he's back of course. |

I might try and do my top 10 favourite Coop songs as well, and will probably miss out the 4 you have too, for the same reasons Susan. |
