I was a huge Alice Cooper fan, early stuff only I should add. Love it to Death, Killer, School's Out and Billion Dollar Babies are fantastic albums.
Recently caught up with 'Alice' CD's; Paranormal and the live 'A Paranormal Evening' are really good.
Yeah, listened to a wee bit, not that bad but he'll never match the original Alice Cooper band. This is something I stumbled across the other day which I've never seen.
Nah, that was Steve Hunter who did a lot of the guitar work on BDB with Dick Wagner, by that time Glen Buxton was out of his tits and just not up to it. Hunter and Wagner did a lot of off stage work on the later live tours too.
Each to their own, some people think Bowie is pish, some people think Elvis is pish, likewise Sinatra, Mozart, Beethoven, Prince, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder...Well you get the idea.
Correcto; just checked the piles of CD's lying about in no particular order. I ran out of wall storage racking made by my uncle many years ago!
yeah some jazz is ok but that freeform cack is tedium. I got a great bass playing tip from a jazz drummer I know. If you make a mistake, play it again and people will think you meant it. I do that a lot.
Whilst scoffing my teatime pizza I thought of a few bands I f****n' hate: Simply Red, Level 42, Wet Wet Wet and Jamiroquai. Now, this may have something to do with their smarmy frontmen or their music; I'm not sure.
One of my favourites along with Generation landslide. At their peak there was no one to touch them. Slash said in an interview that he had never been in a band who was not influenced by Alice Cooper. The same goes for lots of US rock bands.
That reminds me I saw Screamin' Lord Sutch and The Savages on the Isle of Man around 1970; don't think Jeff Beck was playing!
Saw Ian Hunter a few years back in a small venue in Edinburgh. He gave my (now ex) girlfriend a glass of champagne while singing A Nightingale Sings in Berkeley Square. True story
