Alice Cooper (Official Thread)

[LG]

^^That'll keep you busy and happy and out of trouble for a while Bucky...

I am undecided about whether to get the new album or not.

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

I'd say you should, LG. It's the kind of album that longtime Alice Cooper fans have been wanting for sometime.

Wondering why the **** the new album wasn't in the shops, I am positive the album should be out in Australia too by now.

Awesome MP!^^^^^

I always liked this weird tune. The first time I heard it was on a radio show hosted by Jim Ladd called Innerview. One week his guest was Alice, & Ladd always had instrumental parts of songs looped in the background. I heard this song & thought it was just a generic piece of music. This was around '78 & for some reason record stores around me weren't carrying the first 2 Cooper records(& also Muscle of Love) so I didn't know they existed. Anyway, I found a used record store & picked up those 2 records & a used cassette of Muscle of Love & then I found out where Lay Down Die Goodbye came from. Man, first listen I couldn't believe those first 2 albums were Cooper albums! The only song that assured me it was Cooper was "Return of the Spiders"

Right?? I remember the first time I saw Easy Action I had to be about...oh...13 or so..as my neigbor rocker dude across the street, who was like 17 had it on vinyl. I remembering seeing it in his stash and was all...whoah!!

I've got to agree with you Cosmic If you like the original Welcome to my Nightmare for both the story & the music you will like the new one as well.

I was thinking... It seems like this is built up as a follow-up to the original (in fact the Underature song that closes the new album is musical pieces from the 2 albums) but wasn't 'Goes to Hell' a follow up right after the original?

I created another playlist on the Ipod with the 2 Nightmare albums & Goes to Hell & last night while I had trouble sleeping with my back I hit random on the playlist & man did that sound great!!

Sorry to keep dragging on with this thread lately but I'm so fired up with the new album!

I was wondering how the stage production will be for the new album. I think besides her guitar playing credentials & previous work with Alice on American Idol maybe Orianthi was brought on tour to sing Ke$ha's part live.

I'll never forget when I first heard Welcome to My Nightmare around 1977 my friends & I would sit around & piece together what the movie would be like for it. Finally the movie played at midnight on a weekend & we were fired up waiting to see if we were right the way we thought things would happen &...it was a Concert Movie!! (Granted years later I found out there was a TV special with the album but it wasn't the movie we created in our minds)
