Tommy Clufetos Exclusive!

[link=http://www.alicecoopertrivia.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/interviews/tommyclufetos_jan_05.php] [/link]In the latest of our occasional interviews with Alice Cooper musicians, SickthingsUK (Devon and I) have been granted an email chat with current Alice Cooper Drummer and all round cool guy Tommy Clufetos and you can read the results here. It's a very cool chat in which Tommy comments on working with Alice, working with Ted Nugent, and why he's called 'Tommy The Torso!!' Hopefully more exclusive chats are on the way!

Dirty Diamonds??

Last night on his radio show Alice announced the the title for the new album would be "Dirty Diamonds". Of course he could change his mind before it's actually released so I'd suggest considering this a 'working title' for the moment. He also mentioned that the forthcoming tour would take in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, North America, possibly South America, Iceland and even Monte Carlo at some posh casino with a dress code!! (thanks Psychopat)

Short Alice Mention

Pioneer Press has a short piece in which Alice confirms the title of the new album and appears to suggest it will be out in June. The mention the info is part pf another article at the Miami Herald but actually simply quote most of it. Also the mention Jon Bon Jovi being there but I think this is in error as it was actually Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres that organised the event.

Alice to perform with the kids...

According to Philly.com Alice will be performing at the Sundance Film Festival later this month in relation to the film about the Rock school mentioned a further down this page. The festival runs between January 20th-30th in Park City, Utah. I can`t find a specific date for Alice`s appearance so if anyone finds anything give me a shout. As he`s scheduled to be at the Bob Hope Classic for the first part of this period, and then at the PGA Show on the 29th (likely date) tyhat really only leaves a few days between the two for this to happen. More info on the real "School Of Rock" can be found here

UK Tour!!

Ticketmaster are listing a UK shows at Brighton Center on November 5th and Cardiff CIA on the 7th November with support from Twisted Sister. No confirmation if this is correct yet but it does fit in with the info I`ve been told previously. Tickets aren't on sale yet (Jan 19th). For some reason a search on ticketmaster doesn`t show the Brighton gig, but you can use this link, not that there`s much extra info there. UPDATE: Newcastle Arena said to be 13th November

New Alice Cooper Book!!

Thanks to Steef for spotting this one. schwarzkopf-schwarzkopf publishing in Germany have a new Alice photo book on its way for May this year and it looks AMAZING! Photos from concerts and backstage. The samples on this page are enough to wet any fan's appitite. Unfortunatly the site text is in German but you should be able to get the idea. It does look like there will be an english distributor here but they don't have info on the Alice book yet.

New Neal Smith Interview

Check out SleezeRoxx for a great new interview with Neal about his ACG years and current projects. Well worth a read.

UK Tickets: A Statement

Since yesterday morning there has been an incredible amount of ill feeling towards the organisers of the forthcoming UK (and by extention Australian, European and North American) tour from the online Alice Cooper community on the mailing list, the message board and also through private emails we have recieved here. In response to this the owner and contributers to this site have felt the need to issue the following statement on our position in this matter. We do not expect that the promotors will take any notice of it, however we believe something has to be said. Read it here
