I admire a guy that has stayed married through his kind of a career... kind of rare really. Short interview on the course: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Man, the music industry has changed...13,000 records sold...#1 record! I think the fastest selling record for first week sales was Kanye West. "Late Registration" sold almost 900,000 records in the US, it's first week of release, just 15 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) He played golf with Groucho Marx and with Glen Campbell. Glen Campbell lived near him and they would golf every week they were both in town. Edited March 11, 2021 by Wacka 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By hole #11 I just keep scanning for the beer cart lady! I’m so happy to find her I’m a very generous tipper and hope she just follows us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T&C Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 One cool guy for sure... Pretties for you and Easy Action really suck but the next 5 or 6 are pretty damn good if you like that kind of rock music. I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr. Jerk Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 He had an epic cameo in Wayne's World. Good for him, ya dig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irv Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Have a friend who is a golf pro in Elmira. He said that Alice Cooper was one of the nicest guys he ever met. A good stick too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasons1992 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I HIGHLY recommend this doc, featuring Alice and many other famous musicians: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10795414/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alice said in an interview that after Wayne's World came out, everywhere he went, people would come up to him and get on their knees and say "We're not worthy. We're not worthy."

The interesting thing is that the industry has sort of gone back to the old days, before recording technology existed. I.E., if you are a musician, you make your money by traveling around and playing your music for audiences to listen to in a live setting. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why it is super important, espeically now, to support these people, if you really love music. I'm not talking about the Bruce Springsteens of the world, but "smaller" artists who's music you enjoy, but they can't get out to tour right now. Pre-pandemic, I went to see live music 1-3 times a week, on average...now I am just watching a lot of the artists I would have been paying to see on Facebook, or YouTube, chipping in my $20 I would have paid to see them at a club.

Bad Things Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I met Alice years ago, when I still lived in the States. Really good, down to earth dude, but... his skin was as grey as a March day in Upstate NY. It was actually a bit disturbing. There was a really good docu years ago that had him in it, quite a bit. Check it out if you can. It's called "SuperMensch - The Legend of Shep Gordon." Great story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
