Make my day

...Always ruins my day when we CAN'T help out a charitable organization with station gear, because we have to pick and choose since the volume of requests is SO high.....AND they tell you how much you SUCK. Thanks for that. I THINK I'll buy an extra box of girl scout cookies this year from that other "charitable" organization. Better yet, I THINK I'll start my OWN..

CAN'T GeT Enough of this..

Alice COOPER Concert review!

ALICE COOPER: No MoRe Mr. Nice Guy>December 2, 2011

Warm up: After UK Alt Rockers Livan performed a GREAT hard ROCKIN' Rhythmic set featuring a fantastic drummer and lead, ALICE'S latest release Welcome 2 My Nightmare was tracked over the house speakers! I am Made of You and Congregation REALLY ROCKED over the high quality house speakers, setting our appetite for a high energy show that he promised in my interview:



OPEN: Black Widow! GREAT show open and theatrics! A

ONE HIT AFTER ANOTHER: Simply put, a guy sitting in back of me who I didn't know and I never turned around to see, kept commenting to his party: "He has SO many hits, he could play all night!" This is Awesome!" A+

THE BAND: Lead by high-powered guitars and a super performance by Aussie ORIENTHI and rocket engine drumming of Glen Sobel: A+

COOPER THEATRICS: Frankenstein! The Guillotine! The Snake! The blow up doll! (I got the same one at home, I mean, wait..nevermind)* The Top hat! The Flyers "18 Cooper" Jersey! A+

WELCOME 2 MY NIGHTMARE: I'LL BITE YOUR FACE OFF Rocked it for me! WHAT a song and done live through massive sound system had the crowd in a frenzy! A++

MY Personal highlight: ELECTED! I bought the 45 rpm in 1972 AND I was NOT disappointed in 2011!! WOW! He could have worn a Boston Bruins rather than a Flyers jersey BUT a great touch to the local market! A

Summary: Alice Cooper is Ageless and relevant in 2011. Welcome 2 My Nightmare ROCKS and would make a GREAT Christmas stocking stuffer gift..The tour leg ends December 16th and resumes in June 2012! WORTH the ticket* A+

Alice Cooper WELCOME 2 MY NIGHTMARE Review

Alice Cooper: Welcome 2 My Nightmare

Some guys are just born to do this stuff AND not to forget I bought all his vinyl when it first came out, so here are my thoughts on the Sequel:

I Am Made of You-Great theatrical open to the story. Great musicianship and vocals, piano very cool, it sets a great tempo. sweet guitar.

Caffeine-Rockin' tempo! Great Alice Vocals; to my ear it's Under My Wheels 2011

The Nightmare Returns-Another Ezrin conceptual WALL-type inspired gem*

A Runaway Train-Rocker! GREAT Alice Vocals;

Congregation-ROCKS! Vocals tight* Guitars great;

I'll Bite Your Face Off-My personal favorite! ROCKS! I played the grooves off Billion Dollar Babies cut back in the day; listen for the similarities in melody, tempo and vocals--It's Billion Dollar Babies 2011

Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever-Do NOT like the rap or the lyrics; captured that original disco synthesizer to open though---But NO;

Ghouls Gone Wild-F***N Love it! Reminds me melody-wise of The WHO Summertime Blues!

Something To Remember Me By-Do NOT prefer ballad-type songs-Did NOT favor Only Women Bleed back in the day.

When Hell Comes Home-Reminiscent of Welcome To My Nightmare song for me..

What Baby Wants-GREAT tempo; ROCKIN'

I Gotta Get Out of Here-Cool guitar action provides nice tempo. lyrics a little too "pop-py" for my ear. Gotta-Gotta-Gotta-Gotta' chorus doesn't reflect Alice's patented legendary rockin edgy vocal style to my ear.

The Underture-GREAT musicianship, very ethereal and tempo driven at the same time!

Summary: BUY it..GREAT drivin' CD for a daily commute***Roger Waters is performing the Wall' with much success, COULD Alice Cooper do the same on a dedicated tour of The Nightmare' Trilogy? I really think so.

Rolling Stones LIVE in Texas review*

Eagle Rock Entertainment Presents: The Rolling Stones-SOME Girls LIVE in Texas-1978 nationwide for one showing ROCKtober 18th: 100.7 ZXL and resident STONES junkie within, Steve Raymond hosted the local event..


Song selection: B
Energy: A+
The BAND: In 1978, The Rolling Stones were a record-selling band needing to be on top of their game and selling the newest release SOME GIRLS! Mostly cuts from Some Girls, the album and a short sprinkling of classic hits* (see set list below on link)* NO Lisa Fischer for powerful vampy vocals..NO Bobby Keys on rockin' sax/NO horn section: B-

Entertainment gimmicks: NO backstage shots, audience shots TOO dark to fire up viewers, alittle too much Mick/Ronnie Wood homo exchanges-(simulated kisses, grotch grab, dry humping each other): D-

Setlist: (scroll down after clicking link): A

Chuck Berry selections showing Blues roots: A

Summary: Prefer the Oldies' show from my boys' in present day! Gimme Shelter w/Lisa Fischer; Brown Sugar featuring Bobby Keys; Honky Tonk Women featuring Honky tonk piano by Chuck Leavelle! They are fuller-bodied musicians, present day vs. "top of their game" record selling era*

GRADE: B

Metallica/LOU Reed*
