Thinking Of Alice

In 2001 released by Steve Wensil of The Dead Kings
on Scat Boy Records. This tribute CD consist of mostly garage rock bands
and is very raw sounding. A lot of these bands are unknown to me but
maybe more popular around the North Carolina area I assume since that's
where The Dead Kings are known. Also Michael Bruce guest guitarist with
Antiseen's version of "Sick Things" that previously came out
on Anti-Seen CD. Which I noted in my "Alice Cooper Original Band
Solo & Contributing Projects". Also "Levity Ball"
is covered by The Frankenstein Drag Queens, who Wednesday 13's later
plays in the band called The Murderdolls.
There are quite a few good covers of Alice Cooper. The only ones I'm
not crazy about is "I'm Eighteen" which is really a conversation
between two people. As one guy is talking about Alice Cooper, the other
guy is talking about professional wrestling athletics as an instrumental
of "I'm Eighteen" is being played in the background. The other
is the ending of "Dead Babies" which Rancid Vat slags on Alice
which I don't really get but they do a good version of the song.
I think it's real interesting to hear bands cover Alice Cooper especially
bands that are considered underground.
Inside the CD is a letter by Neal Smith, Alice Cooper's
original drummer.
