Title makes me think it's going to sound like Russ Abbott.

Or possibly Showaddywaddy.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jan 28, 2022 7:33 pm

I wonder if we should do a Showaddywaddy album?

Silliness to end on?

Effects.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Fri Jan 28, 2022 7:34 pm

Pad out the record with the minimal amount of effort, which we are now doing suc-sef-fullyyy

by Nightjar Fri Jan 28, 2022 7:34 pm

Bob Ezrin picking his *rse.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jan 28, 2022 7:34 pm

It is over.

That was a very uninspired album in every department that, at least, had the decency to be short.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jan 28, 2022 7:34 pm

I shall give it 2 stars.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Fri Jan 28, 2022 7:34 pm

That was awful. I liked it more than I was expecting to.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Fri Jan 28, 2022 7:35 pm

We should have done Geri. yes

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Fri Jan 28, 2022 7:37 pm

It's been said before, but we had The Sweet, Slade, Marc Bolan, Queen, G*ry Gl*tter, Elton John, Sparks, David Bowie, and a whole shed load more of Glam Rockers and glam adjacent, the poor Americans only had Kiss.

And Alice Cooper.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jan 28, 2022 7:40 pm

And Liberace.

But neither really had that much success here.

Obviously Alice Cooper had a massive hit with "School's Out" (partially thanks to Mary "Power-Electronics" Whitehouse), but, to me at least, both groups were more famous for their image than their music.

Neither group seemed to embody Detroit properly either.

Not like MC5 or The Stooges.

AC was more authentic, but always seemed a bit late to the party.

MC5 and The Stooges lived right in the middle of the scorched black ghettos of downtown Detroit and none of the black residents gave them any hassle.

To them they were just a bunch of crazy white kids who deserved respect for having massive cojones and generally not giving a cr*d about anything.

Oh, the album...

That was awful.

The stuff about Ezrin and the recordings was pretty telling.

It was obvious after a while that he was struggling to hold the whole crappy affair together.

Still, that doesn't excuse the miserable quality of the actual songs.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Fri Jan 28, 2022 7:57 pm

Early Alice Cooper's pretty good, well, not the realiy early stuff, that's just poor Zappa. But the Billion Dollar Babies era and all that.
