Well, lemme make it easier for you.Which is a shame, cause I have a really hard time deciding which of the pre/post '75 bands were better..Both were amazing, but the later guys got the real shit material..
The original band was the best.
The later guys were very competent studio wonks...played great but lacked the creativity of the earlier band...
That's why all the great riffs left with Mike and Neil...and nobody can come up with bass lines as interesting as Dennis Dunaway did...

wake me gently, de ja vu, guilty, I never cry...great songs. Even better I have the dvd of the original welcome to my nightmare show, the whole concert...what a genious..sickle666 wrote:Probably cause the only decent song on Goes to hell is 'Go to hell'..& maybe including 'Wish you were here' & 'I'm the coolest'.hink wrote:I agree with so many here I can't list them all, yet I find it rather odd that Alice Coopers name never came up, especially "Goes to Hell" and Rick Wakeman's "Journey to the Center of the Earth".
The rest is garbage.

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

Like I said, the early guys had the goods, but Wagner was a great guitarist, especially for almost salvaging all that crap Vince wrote after 'Welcome'..Sleek Month wrote:Well, lemme make it easier for you.Which is a shame, cause I have a really hard time deciding which of the pre/post '75 bands were better..Both were amazing, but the later guys got the real shit material..

absolutely, Killers halo of flies what a song, but also easy action, and muscle of love were good too, really the ealier band was the best IMHO, but I always loved Goes to Hell. Lace and Whiskey was bad...and it hasn't been pretty since. Except for one song on constrictor "give it up"...that song cracks me up. Also keep in mind in the mid 70's his addictions really had a hold of him. I saw a video of a concert from the late 70's, he was so lost and wasted, falling down...it was horrid. But that dvd of welcome to my nightmare, if you don't have it you should. It's on rhino...sickle666 wrote:Like I said, the early guys had the goods, but Wagner was a great guitarist, especially for almost salvaging all that crap Vince wrote after 'Welcome'..Sleek Month wrote:Well, lemme make it easier for you.Which is a shame, cause I have a really hard time deciding which of the pre/post '75 bands were better..Both were amazing, but the later guys got the real shit material..

X-102 - Discovers The Rings Of Saturn (1)
The Ex - 1936 (2)
The Residents - God In Three Persons (3)
Groet, Erik
(1) X-102 = UR. Which in this case was mainly Jeff Mills.
(2) concept double-EP, actually.
(3) most of their albums are concept-albums, actually. I see them as conceptual artists rather than musicians.

Tourniquet=Ballad of Dwight Fry.Years back Brian Warner & I had a little competition between us collecting the old vinyl stuff as we were both massive Cooper junkies (as if that wasn't obvious to the entire world later
...such a rip.
My buddy that I share a rehearsal space with is a big '70's collector...there's thousands of bux worth of rare posters on the walls in there...Alice and Sweet and the Runaways, and one whole wall of '70's-80's camel toe...
The new Green Day is going to be a concept album. So far I like the first single.
