Alice Cooper

[Dizzy]

It's entitled The Eyes of Alice Cooper, it came out this past Tuesday, and it must be purchased by all rock n roll fans!  I am listening to it now, and it is a kickass album, definitely in the Alice Cooper tradition!  Good to see that one classic rocker hasn't compromised his sound to adhere to contemporary trends.    

Former Slash's Snakepit alumni Eric Dover and Ryan Roxie are the guitarists on the album, and it was recorded in the home studio of Gilby Clarke.  Also, Eric Singer (Kiss) played drums.  So Alice's band consists of a reputable, all-star lineup.

That's cool. Guess I'll have to get a copy.

I didn't know...thanks for the info...loved Alice Cooper for over half my life...first ever rock concert I had the pleasure of attending, over 22 years ago....

[Hammy]

     I agree! This CD is the best Alice CD in years! There's only one song on the CD that's average and that's Be With You Awhile. Unfortunately, the record label he's on doesn't promote anything but I think songs like Novocaine and Man Of The Year could be really good singles. Here's a review:

What Do You Want From Me - a great way to reintroduce the old Alice. This song is pure awesome.

Between High School & Old School - This song is about what type of songs he should make - new metal or his old rock & roll

Man Of The Year - Pure Brillance! This song makes me tink it's 1972 again.

Novocaine - Awesome song and really, really, catchy.

Bye Bye Baby - Awesome song. Reminds me of Under MY Wheels

Be With You Awhile - This song is the average song on the album.

Detroit City - Sweet Song

Spirits Rebellious - This song is one of the most hard rocking songs in Alice's career.

This House Is Haunted - Steven all grown up! This song reminds me of a mix of Steven and Years Ago

Love Should Never Feel Like This - Great Song

The Song That Didn't Rhyme - The funniest song in a while by Alice. The song is really catchy and the lyrics are brilliant (The melody blows, in a key that no one can find).

I'm So Angry - Speed and Anger! This song is awesome.

Backyard Brawl - Awesome song with a catchy chorus.

[Mama Kin]

I think this album rocks. I think The Song That Didn't Rhyme is brilliant. The fact that most of the lyrics actually rhyme, make it just that more clever.

[sandman]

i agree 100%. awesome album.

i'm going to see him in atlantic city this coming saturday (AC in AC). i'm looking forward to it, i've never seen him live before.

a new band from philly is opening up for him on this tour. they're called Silvertide. they kick serious ass!

[the dirt]

Now i have to hear this whole album.

I heard novocane, and thought it was good.

[Izzy]

It will be my next CD purchase...thanks for the info

[MR.BROWNSTONE]

Thanks for the info Dizzy. I did not know intill now that Alice Cooper had a new album coming out.   I'm not a die hard fan of him but I'm sure this CD will be a lot better than must of the shit out their now.    

[Thumper]

[Captain P?l]

i saw Alice Cooper last in 2001 and Teddy Zigzag was on the keyboards, i wounder if he's still with him.

y'know, last time he was in norway (01 or 00 maybe?) mr. dizzy reed was playing the keys! a friend of mine saw him and she was a big GNR fan and freaked out the day after when she found out it was dizzy fucking reed!

[ClintroN]

No shit hey, Dizzy Reed in Alice Cooper.
Maybee Dizzy had no time eventually and recommended Teddy. I remember Alice said the drummer was from Megadeth...shit, cant remember the rest.
anyway thats cool as

Alice Cooper Keeps His Eyes On The Road This Summer

New York, NY- After wowing audiences with his outrageous fashion sense, sharp lyrics, melodic guitar-driven hard rock and colossal concert tours for nearly 35 years, Alice Cooper is returning to the road this Summer for ?The Eyes Of Alice Cooper Tour? in support of his most recent album, The Eyes Of Alice Cooper (Eagle 2003). Even though its has only been about 6 months since his last outing, its been an eternity to Cooper fans.

Call him Master of Shock Rock, Black Humorist Supreme, or simply one of the era's great showmen, Cooper?s impact on the entertainment world is undeniable, influencing everyone from KISS and Marilyn Manson to Madonna.

Each Alice Cooper tour has set a standard for technical wizardry and sheer theatrical imagination. This Summer, Alice will be performing in the same setting as his previous tour, providing the energetic show that surpasses all others both visually and musically. Backing Alice on the stage are his longtime bandmates: Ryan Roxie (guitar), Eric Dover (guitar/backing vox) and Chuck Garric (bass/backing vox), joined by new drummer Tommy Clufetos.

Alice Cooper?s most recent album, The Eyes Of Alice Cooper, is simple, uncluttered and direct. Recorded in a minimalist garage-like studio setting by producer Mudrock (Godsmack, Powerman 5000), The Eyes Of Alice Cooper marks a return to Alice?s musical roots -- raw and powerful, featuring his trademark clever lyrics, infectious melodies and a wall of guitars. It?s a very modern-sounding two guitar rock and roll album, a collection of fast-paced, guitar-driven songs reflecting many of Alice?s classic themes about frustration and teenage angst.

The end of 2003 saw Alice Cooper receiving his well deserved star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, setting in stone, once and for all, Alice?s legendary status in entertainment history.

Alice is keeping busy this year with his nightly radio show, ?Nights With Alice Cooper,? syndicated by United Stations in 16 markets and growing. Populated by Alice Cooper and a cast of characters, the show airs Monday-Friday from 7PM to midnight from a mysterious location in the Arizona desert.

?The Eyes Of Alice Cooper Tour? kicks off in Europe in June before making its way to The States in July. Plans for Alice?s annual Halloween Season Fall Tour are underway for Sept. 24 through Oct. 31 and those dates will be announced shortly. Alice hopes by then to reacquire his infamous stage ?Electric Chair,? currently on loan to Madonna.
