Sid's Sexy House of Doom 

Unoffical Sickthings Meetup

There is already talk about where to meet up before the shows on the new UK tour, including the suggestion of one big meet up, so how would you like a (dis)organised UNOFFICIAL Sickthings meetup at a private function room on the afternoon of the show? There would be food, drink, music, possibly film, kareoke, a quiz and maybe even a surprise or two (NOT Alice). It would involve a small cover charge to help pay for the room hire but if enough people are interested this would hopefully be kept to a few pounds (no prices or quotes are available yet). At the moment we are looking at ONLY Wembley (6th Nov.) OR Birmingham (9th Nov.) as these are the shows that logistically would be the easiest to do for the organisers. If this type of informal event would interest you then send an email to [link=mailto:meetup@sickthingsuk.co.uk]meetup@sickthingsuk.co.uk[/link] simply stating your prefered venue, Wembley or Birmingham. You will be under no obligation by replying. This is simply a fact finding thing to see whether there is enough interest to make it work. (NOTE: You will not get a reply as we are simply collecting numbers for the moment, however if the plan goes further you will be contacted at a later date. Emails come directly to me so you will NOT get spam or added to any mailing lists.) Please only email if you are genuinely interested in such an event and would be able to attend. Can I repeat this is just an idea at present (may never happen) and a private unofficial fan gathering. Alice Cooper, the band, management and promotors are NOT involved.

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)

Alice Guests and Short Review

Alice guested onstage with an all-star band in Boca Raton, Palm Beach FL. last night. The band and show was put together by Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres and also featured Steven Van Zandt and Bobby Dall. The show was the launch party for the Celebrity Golf Tournament the following day in aid of "Children's Safe at Home". ALSO: PGA.com has a short mention of the show Alice did a few days ago. Full 90 minute set it appears. Not many details though. And Finally... This years Annual Alice Cooper Golf Tournament has been confirmed for May 1st-3rd this year. It will be the ninth year of the tournament. Check out AliceGolf.com for past details and meet Cap'n Cooper!!

Short Interview

There's a few words from Alice appeared at Detriot News, again related to the PGA Golf Merchandise show.

Alice's Driving Tips

[link=http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/scottsdale/articles/0205sr-pvcommercial05Z8.html] AZCentral[/link] has a article about how spent part of his birthday on Friday promoting online vehicle registration and urging drivers not to run red lights. He filmed a TV spot to be aired on local TV.

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.

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!

No More Dirty Diamonds?

According to Alice on his radio show the album is now NOT called 'Dirty Diamonds.' That will bethe album after this one. As of now, the new album is untitled. Also Alice is still in LA recording. (Thanks Psychopat)

Classic Rock

This months Classic Rock magazine has a small pic of Alice and a tour dates listing plus the first advert I`ve seen for the tour taking up half a page. Unfortunatly it doesn`t give many clues as to what sort of show we'll be getting, although it still features the 'Eyes..' logo.
