Rain Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I've always been a huge fan of Alice and those records with the band under Ezrin were truly special. My expectations aren't exactly sky high for this new one but it will be nice to hear them playing together again. Sad that Buxton isn't there to be a part of it. I did check out the first excerpt when it came out and I thought it wasn't bad. I love solo Alice too, although I've not really listened to much after The Last Temptation in 1994. I think the only album I never really got was Special Forces. But the rest, even the weird ones like DaDa, I can dig. In early December 1989, there was a giveaway on tv to promote Alice's Trash tour. I called, hoping I could win the cassette. Well, I did win the cassette alright - along with a t-shirt and a pair of tickets for the show in Montreal in January - almost 300 miles away. For a small-town kid like myself, without a license, and who'd never been anywhere, that was kind of problematic. The show might as well have been on Mars. But a friend who was a bit older, worked a blue collar job and had a little money thought this was an opportunity we could not missed so he offered to pay for the bus tickets and a hotel room for the day. That's me under the massive hairdo at 6 am the day of the show, shortly after we arrived. First time in the big city. We'd spent the night drinking Jack Daniel's in the back of the bus... Second photo is a bad shot of the show, obviously. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triangleman Posted Wednesday at 01:26 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:26 AM Billion Dollar Babies was one of my first rock albums and definitely warped my young mind. Alice did a good job sticking to his schtick through the years and still evolved with times around him. And good on those guys for trying to make a buck after Alice ditched them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read, it was a mutually agreed upon split. The classic "musical differences." Alice wanted to head more in one direction and the guys wanted to lean more into their hard rock style. Also Alice was slipping deeply into alcoholism at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
