Halloween is my favorite holiday. If I wasn't broke, I'd be spending money on an awesome costume and party. Since I'm being "fiscally responsible," I'm cutting out meaningless spending, thus no new costume. I may dress-up to pass out treats - it all depends on how warm it is on Saturday night. If you're planning on dressing up, do tell me your costume in the comments section. I always love when...

Fans are encouraged to join the festivities by entering the “Keepin
Alice Cooper has offered his endorsement, in return for a check, to Sony for a Bravia television ad. And Sony repays Alice with a subliminal message on the marquee. Watch the slot here:
Yep, it’s true. Alice Cooper got banned in Tampere, Finland. From Undercover…Alice was notified in writing that “Performances including representation of false gods, demons, evilness and forces of darkness and all these kind of symbols, words or markings are highly prohibited. These rules are valid also in all of the advertisement and material related to [...]
Our good friends at AntiMusic are reporting that shock rock legend (and long time evangelical Christian) Alice Cooper's upcoming December concert in Tampere, Finland has been cancelled, and moved to Espoo due to concerns over his shock rock image.Tampere Arena, which was to have hosted the December 11 show, cancelled it because a perceived conflict with the venue's "Christian-based policies"."T...
Alice Cooper Along Came A Spider SPV/Steamhammer Review by Nightwatcher After the disappointment of the overblown and pompous slab of Spinal Tap-ism that is Judas Priest's 'Nostradamus', I was really looking for a pick me up album to come along to lift me out of the doldrums I've been feeling concerning mainstream hard rock/metal. And, lo and behold, here comes Alice Cooper to ...
In honor of his big win yesterday in my weekly poll, I'd like to make some interesting Alice Cooper tracks available...A friend of mine started to work with Alice on the Love it to Death record and was involved for several years thereafter. I am not privy to a ton of stories but given what I know about Alice in the 70s that must have been a wild run.These are Alice's first two albums, which w...
Man, this guy was extreme...two dramatically different takes on a great song:I wish the quality on this was a little better but absolutely incredible...

it wouldn't be (post) Halloween without a little Alice!a.From first listen, I always "knew" that "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows" from Alice Goes to Hell was a cover of a ver old song. But, in these days of immediate historical access, I can tell you that the 1917 penned Joseph McCarthy lyrics were set adapted to a Chopin melody (Fantaisie-Impromptu) by Harry Carroll, and first utilized on Broadwa...
With Halloween right around the corner, it's time to try and focus in on dementia, insanity, and all those creepy things that wake you up in the middle of the night, just knowing there is *something* in that corner paralyzing you with fear. What does it take to push one over the edge? How would you know until you get there, and would you realize it - even then?The neccessity of straight-jacket ...
How and why The Alice Cooper band chose "Sun Arise" by Rolf Harris to cap off the unnerving insanity of their Love It To Death lp is quite enigmatic. I just realized after typing it, that I don't really know what that word means - but it sounds right. "Sun Arise", by the author of the cuddly "Tie Me Kangaroo Down", is an inspirational anthem to our source of heat and light and the power the old...
Well, it's time to start the countdown clock and look forward to the coming of the new year. Despite all the insane happenings of the last year (economic collapse, violence, war, politics, etc.,etc.) I feel like people are, in general, pretty hopeful for 2009. We human beings are amazingly flexible critters and, even if we know things are going to get worse, if we can see a flickering light som...
Man, I morphed into a 19-year-old on May 13. I stumbled into it with a crazy weekend, that's for sure. But I'm not really 19... I'll be 18 forever. Young at heart, always. What's the fun in being an old, boring hag?Anyway, one reason I hate being 19 is that there are no songs about being 19. (Well, none off the top of my head.) 17 was cool with "Seventeen" by Winger and some country song that g...
