The other side of the coinBy B. WaringThis book is a definite must- have for the Alice Cooper completist. Although the editing is very poor, I could overlook that for the content and other- side-of-the-coin views from Michael Bruce, a big part of the Alice Cooper group as a song-writer and singer. He was instrumental in the creation of the group's biggest hits. There were obviously some bitter feelings among some of the other group members, as related to their lead singer's popularity in the media. I enjoyed reading this as an informational source and to get another opinion of what had transpired within the group's creation and demise.19 of 21 people found the following review helpful. This is the real Alice Cooper !By A CustomerThe Alice Cooper you see today is not the same Alice Cooper that roamed the earth from 1971-1973. The Alice Cooper of the early 70's was a fearsome T-Rex which ravaged the souls of their young fans like myself. I was 12 years old when I saw them perform on ABC's In Concert in 1972. The sound of this band live was truly mind bending and permanently damaging. Alice Cooper was Mike Bruce-guitar-song writer, Neal Smith-drums, Dennis Dunaway-bass, Glen Buxton-guitar, Shep Gordon-manager, Bob Ezrin-producer and Alice Cooper aka Vincent Furnier-lead vocals. This book, written by one of the founding members of the group shows another point of view not commonly heard about those early years and how the original group finally broke apart. This book is probably just for fans of Alice Cooper past and present. I don't imagine the general public has much interest in this but for fans I think it might be interesting to know what Alice Cooper really was back then. They were a force to be reckoned with and I believe it was the overall synergy, the whole being greater than the parts that makes something happen but the parts begin to think they're greater than the whole and they lose it. To me, Alice Cooper was over for me when the original band split. I moved on to other bands like Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Aerosmith. This is a refreshing perspective on what was and what is now. I liked it, although it seems too short. I read it in 2 days, would've read it in one if I had more time but I still enjoyed it. If your an AC fan I think you'll like it too.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy RobExcellent read from the source . Written by Alice Cooper's guitarist and keyboard player, this is an anthology of the band that encapsulated the decadent spirit of the 1970s. Following the group on their journey from Arizona garage band to eventual rise to stardom, it reveals the truth behind the drinking and the rock 'n' roll. This "true life" story includes the hangings, the executions, the ghoulish makeup, the egos and of course, the rock 'n' roll. Revised and updated it includes previously unseen photographs and memorabilia. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

    STICK MEN - Tony Levin and Pat Masteloo, the powerhouse bass and drums of the group King Crimson for a few decades, bring that tradion to all their playing. Levin plays the Chapman Sck, from which the band takes it’s name. Having bass and guitar strings, the Chapman Sck funcons at mes like two instruments. Markus Reuter plays his selfdesigned touch style guitar – again covering much more ground than a guitar or a bass. And Masteloo’s drumming encompasses not just the acousc kit, but a unique electronic setup too, allowing him to add loops, samples, percussion and more. TONY LEVIN - Born in Boston, Tony Levin started out in classical music, playing bass in the Rochester Philharmonic. Then moving into jazz and rock, he has had a notable career, recording and touring with John Lennon, Pink Floyd, Yes, Alice Cooper, Gary Burton, Buddy Rich and many more. He has also released 5 solo CDs and three books. In addion to touring with Sck Men, since more than 30 years is currently a member of King Crimson and Peter Gabriel Band, and jazz bands Levin Brothers and L’Image. His popular website, tonylevin.com, featured one of the web’s first blogs, and has over 4 million visits. PAT MASTELOTTO - Very rarely does a drummer go on to forge the most successful career on the demise of their former hit band. Phil Collins and Dave Grohl have managed it, so too has Pat Masteloo, a self taught drummer from Northern California, who has also been involved with pushing the envelope of electronic drumming.

  • JD Reynolds Is an Artist in the Truest Sense of the Word
    JD Reynolds is an artist in the truest sense of the word. A true singer, a real songwriter, a neoteric producer, an incredible dancer and striking performer, all wrapped up in a stunning package that could grace the cover of any magazine in the world, and yet, her down to earth country girl charm is what makes this extraordinary artist so real. JD Reynolds was born an artist. “It’s in my blood. Music, melody, lyrics and dance flow through my veins, gifts straight from God for which I am thankful”. JD’s Mother had Elvis, Michael Jackson, Prince, Roy Orbison, Dolly Parton and Whitney Houston on daily replay in the house, so JD grew up listening to the King of Rock ‘n Roll, The Prince of Pop, The PRINCE of Everything, The Caruso of Rock, The Queen of Country Music and The Queen of the Night. JD’s sound is fresh originality for country music. “My entire album came to me like a bolt of lightning, the JD sound, my sound, respecting country music routes yet having my own next level twist”. As an up and coming producer, JD teamed up with seasoned producer Braddon Williams to co-produce what country music insiders have nicknamed “The Jagged Little Pill of country". Braddon has achieved more than thirty top-ten hits, amassed over thirty times platinum in record sales, and his work has received both Grammy and ARIA award nominations, credits include Beyoncé, Snoop Dogg, P Diddy, The Script, Kelly Clarkson, and his latest favourite, JD Reynolds. Braddon knew he was helping to create a unique country album for an incredible talent.

  • Lenten Meditation Booklet
    Dear Friend in Christ. Lent is a time when we look for the deeper connections to our faith. Many of us approach this season in different ways, but one thing we have in common as Christians is the knowledge that we do not walk this path alone. Jesus built the Church as a community, as a body and as a family. During times of spiritual growth, we often turn to the insights and guidance of others to aid our own spiritual development. Over the years, we have had wonderful feedback on our Lenten Meditations. That feedback has given us a sense of what readers find nurturing and life-giving on their own Lenten journeys. In this book, we have returned to meditations from the last ten years that have touched our readers most deeply. In doing so, we were reminded that we have been fortunate to share reflections from many gifted writers, teachers, theologians and spiritual guides. As we walk together as followers of Jesus, we provide each other strength for the journey. We hope you will continue to share with us the experience of your Lenten journey and how Episcopal Relief & Development and our partners can accompany you along the way. Thank you for your ongoing prayers and support as we work together for lasting change. May God continue to richly bless you this Lent and throughout the Church year. Josephine Hicks Vice President, Episcopal Church Programs Episcopal Relief & Development For over 75 years, Episcopal Relief & Development has been working together with supporters and partners for lasting change around the world.

Elliott Photography Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Alice Cooper, considered “The Godfather of Shock Rock,” is world famous for his many hits, including “School’s Out” and “No More Mr. Nice Guy.” The 71-year-old singer still tours for almost 200 days annually, with performances that are part vaudeville, part Broadway and 100 percent musical thunder. In keeping with his macabre onstage persona, he slides into a guillotine for the highlight of the concert. While a shocking maneuver, it’s done with a sly wink at the audience not to take it too seriously. Offstage, Cooper is a reflective family man with many interests, including golf, classic cars and his foundation, Solid Rock, that helps teens in his hometown of Phoenix, Arizona, to explore and develop their artistic talents. AAA World: How did you first get interested in cars? Alice Cooper: I’m originally from Detroit [Michigan], so it’s in my DNA. I’d always sit in art class designing cars. In my teens, I was at that perfect age, with all the Beach Boys songs about cars and driving. A car was your declaration of independence that also reflected who you were. You had to have something that was flashy and cool. AAAW: What was your first car? Cooper: It was a 1966 Ford Fairlane GT 390, yellow with a black stripe.

  • Bachman, Ezrin, Pieczonka Honoured by Royal Conservatory of Music David Rockne Corrigan
    May 23, 2013 MUSIC Bachman, Ezrin, Pieczonka honoured by Royal Conservatory of Music David Rockne Corrigan Randy Bachman, Bob Ezrin, and Adrianne Pieczonka were named Honourary Fellows of The Royal Conservatory of Music on Wednesday night at Toronto’s Koerner Hall. At the Royal Occasion Gala, audience members were treated to performances by the internationally-acclaimed musicians. Pieczonka, an alumna of The Royal Conservatory, is a soprano opera singer who has performed all over the world. Raised in Burlington, she looks back fondly on her time studying piano at the Royal Conservatory in Hamilton, and she has maintained a relationship since. “I trained at Western University and at U of T but the Royal Conservatory is so close to the faculty of music at U of T that I often spent time there — either practicing or in the wonderful bookshop,” she said. Adrianne Pieczonka, pictured here in 2011, was honoured at last night's "Royal Occasion Gala" at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. Pieczonka, who is also an Officer of the Order of Canada and recipient of a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, says Canadians should take pride in their musicians, especially as more people are starting to notice them on the global stage. “Canada is a fantastic place to train as an opera singer,” she said. “I sing all over the world and I am often asked, ‘Why are there so many great Canadian opera singers?’ I think the training is getting even stronger. I am so impressed hearing the young artists in the [Canadian Opera Company's] ensemble program or the students in the voice programs at the universities.” Some of those students were given an opportunity to perform last night–young musicians from the Conservatory’s Glenn Gould School and the Phil and Eli Taylor Performance Academy for Young Artists also took the stage.
