I found it to be a bit 'Novelty' to be honest. I wasn't a fan.

The Hollywood Vampires are supposed to be writing some new material, which will probably lead to the the irony of an Alice Cooper show featuring covers and a Hollywood Vampires show featuring original songs! I wasn't impressed with what I have heard of the Vampires album. As Justin said, it's a gimmick rather than a proper album in the same way that 'Pin-Up's' is a gimmick rather than a proper Bowie album Demdike@Cult Labs likes this.

Tonight (May 21st) is the last night of the first leg of the 'Spend The Night With Alice Cooper' tour From Tuesday (May 24th) until June 6th, the Vampires are out on tour, with Alice resuming his solo shows on June 9th It'll be interesting to see: a) what the setlist for the Vampires is b) what the setlist for Alice is, when the tour resumes - are there still lots of 'oldies' and covers, or has he listened to 'the fans', and changed things

The 1989 album was 'Trash'. No - that was the title of the record, although... Stop it Susan! You have to avoid the obvious jokes!! 'Trash' saw a change of labels from MCA to Epic, and it was designed to be a commercial hit, and it succeeded. Producer Desmond Child was brought in to oversee the recording, and this is where much of the problem with the record lies. It is less an Alice Cooper album, and more of a Desmond Child and Friends thing! Child had previously written and/or produced songs by bands including Kiss, Bon Jovi and Aerosmith, and 'Trash' sounds like these bands. In fact, pretty much every song on the album could have been recorded as a follow up to 'Slippery When Wet'. He also brought in a number of 'special guests' to appear on the record Alice Cooper - vocals John McCurry - Guitar Hugh McDonald - Bass Bobby Chouinard - Drums Alan St. John - Keyboards Producer - Desmond Child The working title for the album was 'Low Class Reunion' The opening cut shouldn't need any introduction.'Poison' is Alice's biggest hit, reaching #2 in the UK charts. As an insult, it was kept from the top spot by the Jive Bunny song 'Swing The Mood'. If you are too young to remember this tune, it sounds like this 'Poison' is unrelentingly catchy, and sounds unlike anything that Alice had previously recorded. The main riff of it originally turned up in a John Waite song called 'Encircled' which was also co-written by guitarist John McCurry. There are three version of the official video, which feature the female character (Rana Kennedy) in various states of undress. The inspiration for the video came from the film 'Hellraiser', with Alice in the 'chamber of chains' 01/10 - Posion (Cooper, Child, McCurry) "Your cruel device Your blood, like ice One look could kill My pain, your thrill I wanna love you but I better not touch (Don't touch) I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop I wanna kiss you but I want it too much (Too much) I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison You're poison running through my veins You're poison I don't want to break these chains Your mouth, so hot Your web, I'm caught Your skin, so wet Black lace on sweat I hear you calling and it's needles and pins (And pins) I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name Don't wanna touch you but you're under my skin (Deep in) I wanna kiss you but your lips are venomous poison You're poison running through my veins You're poison I don't wanna break these chains Poison One look could kill My pain, your thrill I wanna love you but I better not touch (Don't touch) I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop I wanna kiss you but I want it too much (Too much) I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison You're poison running through my veins You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains Poison I wanna love you but I better not touch (Don't touch) I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop I wanna kiss you but I want it too much (Too much) I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison, yeah I don't wanna break these chains Poison, oh no Runnin' deep inside my veins, Burnin' deep inside my veins It's poisoning I don't wanna break these chains Poison I don't wanna break these chains (fade)" After such a strong opening song, 'Spark In The Dark', is disappointing. It is unmemorable and dumb Guitarist Guy Mann-Dude is featured on the track 02/10 - Spark In The Dark (Cooper, Child) "Oh, welcome to the party It's only me and you Tell the world to go away, babe And I'll tell you what to do Come over here and kiss me I want to pull your hair Turn out the lights and hold me I want to touch you everywhere We don't need nobody, baby We don't need champagne I'll take you to the deepest, darkest, hottest, lovers' lane For a little spark in the dark Just a little spark in the dark Don't matter where we sleep Don't matter where we park All we need is a spark, spark Spark in the dark Just a little spark in the dark Oh, come around midnight We'll be crawlin' on the floor Burnin' with the fever And yellin' out for more But don't you write it in your diary, baby Don't blab it on the phone 'Cause if your mom and dad find out They'll skin me to the bone Now we don't need instructions, baby Don't you be afraid It takes a little friction, ah ha That's how our love is made From a little spark in the dark Just a little spark in the dark Don't matter what you say No matter what you do As long as it is me and you We got a spark in the dark Just a little spark in the dark Yeah, yeah yeah yeah We don't need nobody, baby We don't need cocaine I'll take you to the deepest, darkest, hottest lovers' lane Spark in the dark Just a little spark in the dark Don't matter where we sleep Don't matter where we park All we need is a spark, spark Spark in the dark Spark in the dark Just a little spark in the dark No matter what we say, no matter what we do As long as it is me and you We`ve got a spark in the dark Just a little spark in the dark Oh, Well, you got your reputation baby, I got mine And there`s every indication you`re the dangerous kind You wear the black leather dress and it`s toasin` tight Sparks are gonna fly when I turn out the light I need a spark in the dark Just a little spark in the dark A little tiny spark in the dark Ah, come on honey Light me up Just rub these two things....

Although you say Trash is an album anyone of Child's production bands could have recorded i actually disagree. It's too sexual for Bon Jovi and too smutty for Aerosmith. Kiss possibly. Paul Stanley who sang Take it Off on Revenge wouldn't have had a problem with songs like Bed of Nails. As for Poison. To me that's Alice through and through. It's perfect for his voice. Have you ever heard covers of it? They sound terrible. Tarja Turunan who i consider one of the best rock singers ever failed miserably with it for example. Justin101 and Susan Foreman like this. |

The third song on the album was also released as a single, although it only reached #65 in the UK charts. 'House Of Fire' is a good pop-metal song, that has a catchy chorus. Interestingly, it was covered by Bon Jovi, who, although never officially released, included the demo on the two disc special edition version of 'New Jersey'. The Jovi take on the song can be found here Alice Cooper - Vocals John McCurry - Guitar Hugh McDonald - Bass Bobby Chouinard - Drums Alan St. John - Keyboards Joe Perry from Aerosmith also plays guitar on the song It was co-written by Joan Jett, who was the original guitarist with the band The Runaways, and is probably best known for her cover of 'I Love Rock And Roll' in 1981 03/10 - House Of Fire (Cooper, Jett, Child) "House of fire House of fire, yeah Let's build a house of fire, baby Not one of wood or stone Walk through my door of desire, baby Come on in and make it your home Don't need a window to watch you, baby Don't need no roof overhead Don't need no key to unlock ya, baby I'll use my lovin' instead I won't tire Take me higher Building a house of fire, baby Buildin' it with our love We are buildin' a house of fire every time we touch House of fire House of fire We ain't gotta pay rent now, baby No landlord to throw us out I want to play in your garden, baby When you wanna give me a shout I won't tire Take me higher Building a house of fire, baby Buildin' it with our love We are buildin' a house of fire every time we touch We are building this house together, baby Standing on solid ground We are building a house of fire that you can't tear down Brick by brick the flames get higher Build it strong with our desire Building a house of fire, baby Building it with our love We are building a house of fire every time we touch Baby we are.. We are building this house together, baby Standing on solid ground We are building a house of fire that you can't tear down Building a house of fire, baby Building it with our love We are building a house of fire every time we touch We are building this house together baby Staning on solid ground we are building a house of fire that you can`t burn down (fade)" The following song, 'Why Trust You', is a standard rock song from the era Alice Cooper - Vocals John McCurry - Guitar Hugh McDonald - Bass Bobby Chouinard - Drums Alan St. John - Keyboards Guitarist Guy Mann-Dude is also featured on the track 04/10 - Why Trust You (Cooper, Child) "Aw.... You come on strong with a great big smile But your teeth are as sharp as a crocodile You promised me the moon and the stars and the sun But you never did nothin' for anyone Can't look me in the face or straight in the eye I'd buy the movie rights to your alibi I wonder how low you will go I wonder how high your head will blow You're a psychopathic liar Your soul is on fire You're bluffin' with nuthin' while the stakes are gettin' higher Why trust you You never made a dream come true Why trust you Give me one good reason, one good reason why Well, you come to me all teary-eyed With your big tall tale way up in the sky Begging on your knees for another chance But everybody knows that's a song and a dance Yeah, there used to be a time when you were the best You had the fastest tongue in the west Ya gave a look and a line like nobody else You'd try to sell the Bible to the Devil himself You sadistic little liar You're walkin' on the wire You're bluffin' up with nothin' And the bills are gettin' higher Why trust you You never made a dream come true Why trust you Give me one good reason, one good reason Why trust you The noose is getting tighter Your face is turning whiter You can stuff it up your muffin and go stick it in the fire (Why trust you) Why trust you (You never made a dream come true ) You never never never made a dream.. come true (Why trust you, give me one good reason, one good reason) You stinkin' little liar baby you could set your pants on fire (Why trust you, you never made a dream come true ) Why trust you.... You better spit out what you mean... (Why trust you, give me one good reason, one good reason ) Come clean.... You`re acting like an adict with a fully loaded automatic Why trust you (why trust you) I`m through (Why trust you) I`m gone (Why trust you) Into the next song (Why trust you) Why trust you?"

The bass player on the Trash album is Bon Jovi's Hugh Mcdonald. Although back then he was probably just one of Desmond Child's 'go to session players'.
