Squat Cobbler 30: Alice Cooper – Zipper Catches Skin (review)

The album features Zorro, Scrooge, dead pets returning to save their master and an “On Golden Pond” reference.  So, you probably get the idea this is a tad different than other outings by Mr. Cooper.

Squat Cobbler 28: Alice Cooper – Special Forces (review)

http://media.blubrry.com/nurtureandsupport/p/www.nurtureandsupport.net/ns/SC28.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: Apple Podcasts | Android | Email | Google Podcasts | Stitcher | RSS This week Mike and Kelly discuss Alice Cooper’s 13th album, “Special Forces”.  Grittier and tougher than its predecessor “Flush the Fashion”, Special Forces is a fun listen but seldom soars to the heights of some of the best material from Alice. That said, check out You’re a Movie, Skeletons In My Closet, and Who Do You Think We Are… fun songs! There was a tour to support this album (which Kelly saw) and here is pretty complete documentation of it … Continue reading

Audio is a little rough on this one gang.  There were a lot of Google Hangout issues and Mike ended up doing the show from his phone.  Sorry about that.  Way to phone it in Mike. Here is the Pink Lady and Jeff appearance … Continue reading

There is also some bonus general album cover art discussion in this episode. Kelly is considering an online petition to get Alice the start playing “For Veronica’s Sake” from this album at his live shows.  Listen and agree…   SMLTBCBPB (Song most likely to be covered by Pat Boone): Mike – How … Continue reading

As promised, Alice on Johnny Carson singing the title track… https://youtu.be/Ywa2H6JNhaQ SMLTBCBPB (Song most likely to be covered by Pat Boone): (No … Continue reading

While a tour was planned, it ended up being cancelled due to Alice’s heath at the time.  This is a shame, because … Continue reading
