Road entered the UK chart at #8. Detroit Stories entered at #4.

Road sold a quarter less copies than Detroit Stories.

The moral of this story is don't over price your product methinks.

Ironically I never bought Detroit Stories.

It's actually a better album. Although it probably helps if, like me, you didn't already own the vinyl Breadcrumbs ep.

New comic coming from Dynamite Comics in October

"Alice Cooper has a new album out, and he’s taking his show on the road. But as the tour progresses, he begins to notice a disturbing trend — more and more of his audience appear to be undead!

And as if that wasn’t bad enough, the Archangel Gabriel appears in his dreams to warn Alice that the Devil is getting ready for a tour of his own — and he’s planning on making it a permanent residency! Only one thing stands between mankind and hell on Earth is … the godfather of shock rock himself!

Composed and arranged by writer RODNEY BARNES and artist EDU MENNA, this power anthem of series has its amps turned up to 11 — look for it in stores this October!"

The Road cd and Blu-ray is now £17.99 on Amazon.

The 2005 Montreux concert is being screened on Sky Arts on Saturday (September 9) at 21:00

This is followed at 23:00 by the documentary 'Hired Gun', which is all about session and touring musicians (including people who have worked with Alice)

I enjoyed the concert more than the album (ditto with my wife) so I would advise buying a two disc set over the standalone cd option. It was great to see Alice's wife being prominently featured in such a recent show. btw I once talked to someone who had met her in the late 80's, he asked her what Alice was like. She replied that he was really nice, he always did the washing up and loved eating mashed potato. :)

I really enjoyed the concert as well. I think the album is great fun as well though.

At the end of the 'Prince Charming' video, Adam Ant pays homage to his heroes by appearing as Clint Eastwood (from the 'Dollars' Trilogy), Rudolph Valentino (from the silent film 'The Sheik') and Alice


In some edits of the video, he also appears as Marlon Brando as Don Corleone in 'The Godfather'

Possibly the 'Holy Grail' of Alice Cooper material! No idea how long this will remain of YouTube for!!


The Alice Cooper / Gene Vincent material starts around the 1:01:24 mark
