Adam Lambert has obviously decided that his angle for securing water cooler conversation status is to be “scandalous.” Listen, I don’t care if Adam wants to parade around stage, forcing men’s mouths to his crotch or giving some chick a simulated fisting on live television. I survived Madonna’s Sex book — remember? You know what I [...]
Alice Cooper took his stage name from a message his mother received from a Ouija board. The rocker originally performed under his real name, Vincent Furnier, until his mother's dalliance with the occult led him to adopt the name of the group he was singing in.
I don't get excited by much but the latest Alice Cooper tour has gotten me interested in going "outside". It promises to be something special but to be honest, even if it's just the same as a normal Alice Cooper tour, it will still be better than 90% of the other tat paraded before my eyes. If you've never been to see The Master, waste not much more time. I'm sure he would be the first to...
Screaming Lord Sutch singing Dracula's Daughter. A Joe Meek Production from the 60's. I must admit I have a soft spot for rock stars that dress up as Count Dracula and have a coffin and a skull on stage as a prop. In fact I think he used to emerge from the coffin at the start of his act! Great sound effects too. One of the very first records I ever bought was "Jack The Ripper" accompanied...
MULLETIERS take note: the next seven days in Manchester are everything you’ve been hoping for for a very long time. The paths of three of the world's most eminent rock bands - Alice Cooper, Motorhead and Yes - cross in our city over the coming week.
A group who describe themselves as the Midlands’ ”hardest working rock ’n’ roll band” are set to perform in Lichfield. Sixteria play at the Kings Head tomorrow (November 21). The band cite their influences as everything from Alice Cooper to Ray Davies – and it’s clearly a strategy that’s working given their growing reputation on the local music scene....
The 1970s and 1980s were the golden age of rock and pop. During these decades, Swiss photographer Hannes Schmid accompanied over 250 bands and singers. His images of…
My Mom used to be a fan of psychics, I remember her dragging me along to a couple of readings where I invariably spend most of my time bored as hell waiting in an adjacent room. Sometimes, she would bring along my white and red Fisher Price tape recorder so she could painstakingly analyze every detail with one of her friends at a later date. She wasn’t what I would call a true believer, but...
A quick look at the comments on this post on Slash’s cover of “Paradise City” with Cypress Hill and Fergie tells you everything you need to know. Needless to say, hardened Guns N’ Roses fans are not happy with Slash’s treatment of the song, and it appears the guitarist’s talent has gone the same way as that of his former singer, Axl Rose. Slash hasn’t yet...
Alice Cooper returns to the UK this month for a ten date tour. Fans will of course be treated to the cream of Cooper's 40 year career that will mix classics ranging from School's Out to Poison right up to material from 2008's Along Came A Spider , which featured s ongs that pour petrol on the mythology such as Vengeance Is Mine and Catch Me If You Can - and word on the street is that with it being...
It's been known for some time now that Fergie strutted her leather pants into the recording studio and lent her vocals to Slash's upcoming debut solo outing, Slash & Friends . She's in a pool with guesting Slash pals that includes such rock luminaries as Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, Dave Grohl and, uh, Nicole Scherzinger. Now Prefix has posted a clip of Fergie and Cypress Hill's reinterpretation...
