The Last Bass Outpost

For those who have seen it, there is a film clip at about the 45 minute mark about his stay in the mental hospital.  That is the film they used on the Madhouse Rock tour that I saw.  At the end of the clip, you see Alice holding one of those old movie ball bombs.  In the concert, a movie screen with slits came up on the stage.  At the precise moment of that clip, the movie shows Alice running towards the camera, and then the real Alice popped out through the screen, holding the bomb.  His image was no longer in the clip.  The movie and live action were so perfectly timed that it looked almost real.  Alice, and the bomb, were bounced between stage and film in perfect rhythm.  It was the best theatrical concert moment I've ever seen.

Nice! I really dig John Marshall´s drumming, didn´t know he played with Jack.

It was through the early Jack Bruce solo albums that I became aware of how good Chris Spedding was.

My favorite song from them, by far, to this day...



You know, it's too bad about Malcolm.  People comment that he's had such an exciting life, but I can't imagine existing in a state where I couldn't recall what my own life had been.

They're airing that and something else from Alice Cooper on Palladia 11/29.  Just got a glimpse of the commercial.

Cool!  I will have to watch this one. 

The drummer I played with in the peak of my musical career was the drummer I was at my absolute tightest with.  I still joke that we were so good, we could play mistakes together.  We also fought like 12-year-old boys who liked the same girl.  Constantly.  I then invited him into a new band, with the offering of starting all over.  40 years later, he's the only one of my old bandmates that I keep in touch with occasionally.
