Sid's Sexy House of Doom 

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.

Alice in Gaiman Book

[link=http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1560976179/sickthingsuk-21][/link]This one I almost missed, but thanks to ProvidencePhoenix.com here it is. 'Hanging Out with the Dream King: Conversations with Neil Gaiman and His Collaborators' By Joseph McCabe is a book about comics legend and Alice Cooper collaborator Neil Gaimen and apparently features an interview with Alice (plus presumably some background info) about "The Last Temptation" comic book. It's out now and available from Amazon.co.uk. I've not seen a copy yet so can't varify how much Alice content there may be.

Site Maintenaince

Over the next few days you may notice certain changes or broken links on this site. Yes, it's that time again. I`m bored with the design so I`m re-doing it! Please bare with me, the basic work will be over pretty quickly followed by a period of tweaking anything that doesn't work. The message board will be the last thing to change once everything else is done. Visitors are invited to let me know if something isn`t working in case I miss it. Cheers.

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

'Rock School'

A couple of reports have appeared about Alice's appearance at the Sundance Film Festival at the 'Rock School' Launch party. He performed 'School's Out' of course. The one with the most AC content is Newsday.com

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.
