Apropos of nothing: He’s scheduled to perform at the Arizona State Fair on October 31, along with Weird Al on October 16. I haven’t been to a fair in years, but this year I’m going just to see them.
How the hell did you get past that point? I have my hair very short like that, and everytime I even get close to growing it I can’t get past looking like a Chia pet, and I have to cut it close again. I suspect that if I did try to stick with it, the Chia head phase would last 6 weeks or longer.
I look as good with a Chia-head as any other 'do. Interpret that as you will.
And I was unemployed, so I didn’t really have to leave the house.
**Bosstone **, oh shaddup! Don’t make me slap you. Needless to say, my greeness of envy over floweth. Actually though, I even considered making the trip to Mecca (because c’mon, HALLOWEEN and Alice!), I had to think again when I tallied up the bus trip – the 10th circle of hell with Nancy Grace on more of a downer / upper cocktail – and the cost, plus the fact that I normally have issues with getting out of the house. So, until Alice wants to hang out on my couch [ ::: mops brow ::: ]… I’ll looked forward to some Texas gigs.
But still. What’s a cooperite gotta do to entice some wonderfully helpful Doper to hook her up with Alice? Cookies? A new puppy? Being named after the first born of Prince William?? Whatever, I’m your woman. I will certainly take care of any needs to see my honey.
And hey you two, I adore Chia pets. I just never thought of anyone wearing them on the head. However, I’m sure if anyone call pull that look off, it would be the most excellent members of this board (see, I will flatter you silly, and mean it of course, for simply a hint of the aforementioned). Thus ends another of shameless Alice plugs. I do desire pictures though. Seeing as I’m a hippie (who has also had her head shaved) and all, that kind of hairstyle will give me groovy vibes.
Thanks everyone for participating in my thread! This is made me so happy and has squelched a little bit of my everyday withdrawals. More goodies? I have basketfuls.
Given the time it was recorded, and if you also watch the Welcome to My Nightmare TV special near that time, I’m not so sure it was supposed to be intentionally funny or ironic given the disco-craze context of the time. Maybe he realized that he was starting to look like the lost 5th Abba member and wisely took things in a different direction
I admit I like the song, although I do look around over my shoulder to make sure no one is in earshot before turning it up.
I saw Alice on the Billion Dollar Babies tour, too, but I did not partake of any illicit substances. They were being openly sold while we waited to get in, though.
Alice rocks. I’ve met a first cousin of his who was not eager to claim kinship.
That’s right! Where he had that little rant, but if you’re to believe (mmm hmm, I don’t think the Great One is always completely truthful) Alice these days, he just says that “he wasn’t allowed to.” Yeah, right. He did recently confess to liking some disco performers, but for the life of me I can’t remember who. No guilty pleasures here.
Eh, probably either just sour grapes or disdain for him having moved away from the theological practices of his family. Silly cousin. Coop does rock!!
God but he’s unlikeable. I just can’t stand him!
: I just got Alice Cooper tickets for $20 each. Stage left seating and pretty darn close to the stage at that.
:(: I have nobody to go with. 'Twill happen, though.
I haven’t seen anyone else who can claim membership in the 70’s “official” fan club…(neener x3)
If you two don’t hush, I’d hate to smack you over such things. I swear, just pour salt in the wounds and watch me cry. It’s just not fair I tell ya…
where is Alice when you need him?
I should probably watch the DVD, because I don’t remember most of that stuff. Only mainly the tooth. Part of the reason is because of said hallucinogens, but part is because we were way up in the balcony, nosebleed section. I only saw the tooth because it was so damn big. I couldn’t tell much of what else was going, but the music (I had only heard “School’s Out” previously) was amazing. That’s why I rushed out and bought the Billion Dollar Babies album (LP, which I still have) the next day. I think I was about 14.
How did I miss THIS?!
Yeah…I found it by searching “Alice”. No surprise…
I don’t even know where to start! Faithfool, you DO know about the Maidens, don’t you? Those girls make you look positively calm! You may want to check out their group. Try contacting AlienSpice or Madame Bondage over on Sickthings.
I’ve got every single album and pretty well all the usually available DVD/VHS stuff, except The Nightmare. Got my Monster Dog but I need Roadie and Sergent Pepper. I’ve been to four live concerts beginning in '77. Yep, major fan!
Now go check out Billion Dollar Babies, the Alice Cooper Show. It’s the best damn tribute band out there! Heh, I should know…that’s me in the Igor outfit and in the old pics as Frankenstein. I think that one’s on our frontman’s own site. There’s a link on the Myspace friends. This link takes you to the MYSpace and there’s a link on the left hand side of the page to the band site which is under new construction.
