Re: Alice Testifies!!!

First, I am an Alice Cooper fan, I liked the music then and I like it now 
(recorded). Just because Alice may never get tired of singing his songs dosen't 
mean that we haven't tired of listening to them.  With all due respect, Alice 
Cooper does not break into the top 50 best rock and roll bands (on most charts) 
where as The Mighty Zep is always a top 5 selection.  I yield to Robert's 
thoughts that he may not want to try to reproduce the magic of the genius that 
is Led Zeppelin.  Let's face it, Jimmy, Robert, John Paul and John set the bar 
quite high and in the opinion of those of us on this site are the gold standard 
of Rock and Roll.  Alice has little to loose by doing things like American 
Idol, while Robert would never do something like that. 



Of course, that being said, how much fun would it be to see and hear Jimmy, 
Robert and John Paul add a top notch drummer and take us for a spin down the 
path of our youth should they feel up to it. 



Long story short, I agree with Nech. 



Rock On,

As much as I love Alice, this is one point where I'll never agree with 
him. I "pretend" to get upset when ever he talks about Plant on his 
show. But you can't compare the two approaches. Alice plays the card of 
his theatrical shows, they're all based on the same "skeleton" of hits, 
interlaced with songs chosen from his enormous back catalogue (several 
hundreds). 

I love both equally (though in Alice's case it's not just for the music 
as with Plant, he, he) and I need both worlds. I love Alice for taking 
me to another world, like watching a fantasy/horror move and actually 
getting to play a part in it each time, it's pure unadulterated fun. And 
I love Plant for taking me on his musical journey and constant renewal, 
there's a more introspective approach here. My own life would much much 
poorer without all the input I got from both artists. But you really 
can't compare the two. 

Alice always teases Plant for not wanting to play with Zepp, I'm pretty 
sure he only does this to stay in character, he's more open minded than 
that. Plant calls Alice a nostalgia act, well I disagree with him on 
this too, his shows are better than ever there, no resting on laurels 
there. I guess I'll always be "caught" between the two.
