2010, 5th Avenue Vampires

Well sticking w/ Dennis Dunaway I figure I would include my purchase of DD's other project
5th Avenue Vampires. This band includes Dennis Dunaway, Richie Scarlet, Russ Wilson
and Joe Von T.
Besides the debut CD they included 2 postcards, 2 plastic insect rings and a fly.

2006, Chiller Theater

One weekend a co-worker was heading down to Jersey to attend the Chiller Theater and asked me if I wanted anything while they were going. I said Dennis Dunaway will be there so if you happen to be around during that time I would love an autograph. That next week she came in w/ the Dennis Dunaway Project photo signed by Dennis. Also not knowing my collection Dennis said to her "He probably doesn't have this" as he hands her BDS Live in Paris CD.
I couldn't believe Dennis was right!
I have a pretty good collection of stuff way back from Flying Tigers bootlegs to DeadRinger even The X Brothers. I was thinking this guy does have mystical powers. How does he know I didn't have this CD! It was the only one I was missing.
It is a good live recording of their BDS debut Back From Hell CD. They even cover a few BOC and Alice Cooper tunes. I do have to say I wasn't sold on Bouchard covering "Caught In A Dream" and "Under My Wheels" but I did like "Black Juju". Maybe "Black Juju" is more along the lines of a song BOC would of done. But in all it's a great CD and I actually like the songs live than from the studio recording.

'75-76, Miscellaneous Newspaper Articles

I have clipped these articles out back during 1975, '76 coming from Boston Globe and Boston Herald American. The last article Music Makers was from East Boston Times newspaper.

1986, Kerrang! Constrictor Ad

One of my favorite magazines back in the 80's was Kerrang! Only a few record shops at that time carried it.
Here's a full page ad for Constrictor album. I believe it's from '86 since that's when the CD came out. This was another torn out page. I wish I kept my Kerrang! back issues. I do have a few that are still complete. Unfortunately I threw out more than I kept.

Rolling Stone Full Page Ads

I received these 2 ads in a trade of some sort.
Muscle of Love and Greatest Hits album release Ad.
Greatest Hits includes the top Rolling Stone Header but Muscle of Love is cut off.
I gather it's from the same publication since it's around the same size.

I dedicate this post to Karen who was put to rest today. Will miss your smile.

1983, Gentlemen Afterdark

Since I listed below Alice w/ The Beat Angels I figure might as well introduce you to Brian Smith's previous band Gentleman Afterdark from 1983. Only 4 tracks and very new wave. Alice and Dick Wagner produced the EP. Dick Wagner was more the producer. I remember reading in an article somewhere that Alice said he just gave his input on what sounded good.
I didn't know anything about this recording until I was taking my dog to the Vet. While in the waiting room looking through some magazines that I came across this full page photo of Alice w/ Gentlemen Afterdark. I believe this was from People magazine.

Also good to point out Beat Angels co-wrote "Sideshow" on The Last Temptation album.
Brian is also a writer who wrote the liner notes in Billion Dollar Babies Deluxe Edition.
Brian Smith used to write for a Phoenix, AZ newspaper during his Beat Angel days. He went by the name Bill Blake.

1998, AMC Opening

On April 3, 1998 was The Grand Opening of AMC Arizona Center 24 Theaters appearance by Steven Seagal and Alice Cooper.

Alice performs 2 songs w/ The Beat Angels “No More Mr Nice Guy” and “Jailhouse Rock”.

The Beat Angels performed after Alice's 2 numbers.

I lost contact w/ this guy who lived in AZ., that I use to trade audios and videos w/ during this time. He took a few photos although some seem dark. He told me another person was suppose to video tape this show but arrived late.
