1980, double vinyl
Roadie Soundtrack
Just like Sgt Pepper another really bad movie with musicians in it. The
double LP gives us a range of performers from different styles. You
have Alice Cooper, Blondie, Styx, Roy Orbison,
Hank Williams Jr., Cheap Trick, Asleep At The Wheel, Eddie Rabbitt,
Teddy Pendergrass...it gets worst.
This came out in Alice's New Wave period 1980 during
his "Flush The Fashion" album release. In this movie Alice appears in his classic eye make-up self.
The movie "Roadie" was influenced by Alice's song "Road
Rats" on his "Lace And Whiskey" album which one of the
songs on this album. The other song is "Pain" from "Flush
The Fashion" LP. Both songs by Alice are his own recordings. But
for this album he re-recorded these songs and they sound great. Both
of the songs are produced by Todd Rundgren and his backing band Utopia
are Alice's band along with Davey Johnstone who played and toured with
Alice. On "Road Rats" Todd also did background vocals as in
"Pain" he just produced. Anyway the songs are very well done.
Alice's Box Set only has "Road Rats".
Alice makes an appearance near the end of the movie with some dialog and performing portions of "Road Rats", "Pain" and "Only Women Bleed".
