    Dumb question: Does Simon play/guest on it?

    If you tolerate this kind of Metallica’esque music, your children will be next! 😂

    Thank you.
    But no thank you. Not bad at all. But 40 years too late for me. (…starts browsing his Gordon Lightfoot collection…)

    Oh my god, how boring…a rhythm section like this with nervous keyboards like this was a must 20/30 years ago…

    If Simon was instrumental in his old buddies getting a deal with ear Music as a resurrection – and I assume he was – then that was awfully nice of him.

    Wait,wait, Sweet Savage? The band Vivian Campbell came from? Next you’re gonna tell me most of the original Alice Cooper band put out a record…..

    Interesting one, Uwe. I’d prefer the man himself singing it though.
    A hero of Roger Glover btw.

    And that Alice Cooper Group album produced by Bob Ezrin is effing brilliant, Alice is best when he does his own brand of garage rock and not heavy metal or AOR.

    A young Simon played with Sweet Savage on two albums in the mid and late 90s, long after Vivian Campbell had left them, wasn’t that common knowledge?
