I am beyond pissed at myself for missing this. Ian Blurton put on a show this past Saturday at the Bovine Sex Club, where his band played nothing but Alice Cooper and Turbonegro songs. It looks like Eric LaRock of Tricky Woo was on bass, and the mighty Damon on drums. A handful of guest singers came up and took turns doing songs as well.
Man. Really sad I missed this.
Watch them play Clones and Schools Out below.
I love Ian Blurton.
This was always so hard to do so I told myself I have to make a top 10 list within 5 minutes. No over thinking. Its harder than it seems. Mainly beacause I keep looking at what is missing. At The Drive Ins "Relationship of Command", Refused's "The Shape of Punk To Come", Thin Lizzys "Fighting", Alice Coopers "Billion Dollar Babies" etc.
I am sure half of these will change in the near future.....maybe even tomorrow. However the top 3 have been those three for a good number of years now.
You know spring and summer is just around the corner when you get the Hawk Rocks the Park email....and who is playing this summer?!?! THE ONE. THE ONLY. THE GREATEST!!
Sittin here listening to my Alice Cooper, and drinkin some MGD. I apologize to Cooper for not making it a Bud. Anyhoo....everyone should be cranking the Coops right about now.
One of the best start to finish albums I ever herd. I am a stickler for sequencing, and hearing an album as a whole, as opposed to the sum of its individual songs. This one contains probably my favorite opening track of all time, Hello Hooray. Everytime it comes on I just wanna crack open a case of beer, and sing the chorus at the top of my lungs. "OOOOH I!!!! BEEN WAITING SO LONG.....TO SING MY SONG!".
Raped and Freezing is catchy as hell, and kinda fucked up in a way only Alice can pull off.
Elected: Another hit.
Billion Dollar Babies: This is a good track, but got kinda tainted cuz all I can think now when I hear it is Guitar Hero.
Unfinished Sweat: Top 3 on this album. Every single time I make an Alice Cooper mix I ALWAYS place this song right next to Killer's Halo of Flies. They always seemed like connected songs to me.
No More Mr Nice Guy: Song always reminds me of Dazed and Confused
Generation Landslide: Good little ditty, as they say.
Sick Things and Mary Ann: This is the only lull on this album. Ok songs, but I tend to skip half the time......probably cuz I cannot wait to hear I Love The Dead.
I Love The Dead: Incredible album closer, as well as love show closer as I witnessed at the Centre in the Square. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THE DEAD
Alice Cooper: Billion Dollar Babies.
