I loved it all over again when i rewatched it the other day.

Bonnie's a cooler character than Sydney Bristow personally. I dunno, i don't like the name Sydney. And it's said waaay to much for my liking in Scream.

New book: 'Starring Alice Cooper'

"Rufus Publications has announced the forthcoming release of "Starring Alice Cooper". This official 400-plus-page book has been two years in the making, and the project has been personally overseen by the iconic rock legend.

The book is available to pre-order from 3 p.m. U.K. time on November 17 from Rufus Publications and will ship at the end of May 2024. Pre-orders placed before the end of November 2023 will benefit from a 10% discount. A trailer for the book can be viewed below.

Available to pre-order from 3pm on Friday 17th November, the tome is released via Rufus Publications in May 2024 with prices starting at £199.99

Each book will be individually signed by Alice, and ‘Starring Alice Cooper’ will come in two major editions, including a huge, very limited, A3 version complete with 3D lenticular and some surprising treasures.

The book boasts many rare photos and pictures of personal items throughout, and is full of incredible personal content and surprises.

Alongside the photography, ‘Starring Alice Cooper’ features essays on his fabled career from several renowned writers, including former Creem Magazine editor Jaan Uhelszki, Rock et Folk’s Jerome Soligny, Katherine Turman (co-author of “Louder Than Hell”), and an exclusive introduction penned by acclaimed author and long-time Alice fan Neil Gaiman."

Apparently this is no longer going ahead, although I am unsure as to whether it is just Alice who will not be appearing or whether the entire festival has been cancelled

Alice was recognised in the New Years Honours list... by the Official Monster Raving Looney Party. He is now 'Lord Alice Cooper – Minister of Home Skooling'

"Sadly after the Poison of lockdowns imposed upon the youth of the UK a few years ago, many have still not returned to school to continue their education with some sources suggesting a rise of over 50% upon pre Covid figures! Lord Cooper’s vast experience of this issue, and not just while they are out for Summer, will benefit all under Eighteen aged Frankenstein’s who have found themselves Under the Wheels of the system, with his No More Mr Nice Guy approach so we Welcome him to his Nightmare of a Ministry with a Hello-Hooray!"

On the 26th anniversary of the first episode of 'Doctor Who', Alice played a show at The Marquee in London

There were no advance tickets available. Instead, fans had to go to the Marquee on the day of the show where they could pick up a special 'Alice trash collection bag'. They then had to collect rubbish from the streets of London before returning the full bag to the venue where tickets were allocated on a strict first-come, first-served basis

The setlist for the truncated show, which didn't feature any theatrics, consisted of:

• Trash
• Billion Dollar Babies
• I'm Eighteen
• I'm Your Gun
• No More Mr. Nice Guy
• This Maniac's In Love With You
• Muscle of Love
• Spark in the Dark
• House Of Fire
• Poison
• School's Out
• Under My Wheels
• Cold Ethyl

There is a new version of the 'Billion Dollar Babies' LP being released by Rhino Records on March 8 to celebrate the 51st anniversary of the original album

The 3-LP or 2-CD versions both feature a new remaster of the original album, along with bonus material, including studio outtakes, single mixes, and a 1973 concert recording. However, for those of us who have a copy of the 2001 2CD deluxe edition re-release, there doesn't seem to be a lot of new or previously unreleased material on these

The track listing for the LP version is:

LP ONE

Side One

“Hello Hooray”
“Raped And Freezin’”
“Elected”
“Billion Dollar Babies”
“Unfinished Sweet”

Side Two

“No More Mr. Nice Guy”
“Generation Landslide”
“Sick Things”
“Mary Ann”
“I Love The Dead”

LP TWO

Side One

“Hello Hooray” – Live, 1973
“Billion Dollar Babies” – Live, 1973
“Elected” – Live, 1973
“I’m Eighteen” – Live, 1973
“Raped And Freezin’” – Live, 1973
“No More Mr. Nice Guy” – Live, 1973

Side Two

“My Stars” – Live, 1973
“Unfinished Sweet” – Live, 1973
“Sick Things” – Live, 1973
“Dead Babies” – Live, 1973
“I Love The Dead” – Live, 1973

LP THREE

Side One

“School’s Out” – Live, 1973
“Under My Wheels” – Live, 1973
“Coal Black Model T” – Outtake

Side Two

“Hello Hooray” – Single Version
“Billion Dollar Babies” – Single Version
“Elected” – Single Version
“Mary Ann” – Single Version
“Slick Black Limousine”

Presumably LP's 2 and 3 are both on CD 2

The vinyl edition faithfully replicates the original's LP's textured snakeskin wallet design and comes complete with a $1 billion dollar bill tucked inside and an oral history of the album...

...while the CD versions seems to only have an insert booklet

[Justin101]

Looks pretty much the same as the 2001 Deluxe Edition except for the single edits on side 6 of the LP.

Coal Black Model T
Son of Billion Dollar Babies
Slick Black Limousine

are all on CD 2 after the live tracks.
