The Alice Cooper Thread

To put you right, I would be letting you know that 'Paranoiac Personality' is the first single taken from the upcoming album release

But I am not in that frame of mind, so rather than point out your schoolboy error, I will let the above slide

You then state



and, again, if I was in that frame of mind, I would be confused because a few posts ago, you stated



before justified this remark by stating



and finally admitting



But, as I say, I'm not in that frame of mind, so I will just put it down to being a 'Demdike-ism'!

Basically it's not too bad as you listen to it, but now a few days later i can't remember anything about it and have no idea how the song goes at all. Therefore it's very unmemorable.

And stop lecturing people. It's annoying.

Just be thankful I'm not in the wrong frame of mind!

Questions are being raised about whether this will actually be released or not

It seems that most of the material on the first disc has not actually been copyright cleared and the suggestion is that the tracks have been copied from either downloads or original CDs

Disc 2 is a live album, reportedly coming from the 'Welcome To My Nightmare' tour. ["On CD 2 of The Many Faces we present Alice Cooper on her first solo tour" runs the blurb]. However, most fans will just look at the track listing and know it's not from this tour. Instead, it's thought to be from a bootleg radio show, and again it's not copyright cleared

Disc 3 is made up of songs from various tribute albums, and once more, questions about whether permission was sought or not are being asked

All in all, if this goes ahead, then great, but I can see it being pulled from the release schedule in the not too near future

This is 'reflected' in the tour poster



I would be surprised if we didn't get a new live DVD that covers this event being recorded sometime in the near future as well
