This is one of my favorite tributes to Alice Cooper.
Most of these bands are Industrial or Goth.
This came out at a good time during Alice's "Brutal Planet"
CD which is sort of Industrial.
You can tell a lot of these bands were influenced by Alice Cooper. What
I like about this tribute is they don't sound like musicians doing impressions
of Alice. Mutations is a good title for this tribute CD. These artist
give their own interpetation without drawing away from the original.
Godhead version of "Hey Stoopid" and "Poison" by Tubring
sound like they could of been part
of the "Brutal Planet" album.
Chris Connelly who is also on the Welcome To Our Nightmare tribute CD does another cover "Hard Hearted Alice" which reminds
me of Nick Cave.
One of my favorite cover is "Ballad Of Dwight Fry" done by Loretta's
Doll. There is a funny story
here about them. You see I knew the singer
Bryin Dall from a previous band called The End. Bryin made me a copy of
"Strange Case of Alice Cooper" on vhs when he was working in
a video shop during his struggling years as a musician. Last time I heard
from Bryin was in '85. When I played this CD I loved this band doing 'Ballad
of Dwight Fry" and checked out their website that is listed in this
CD and sure enough it list Bryin Dall as vocalist. As I checked out Loretta's
Doll site they list as one time being 4th Sign of The Apocalypse band
who is listed as covering "Dead Babies". So I am not to sure
if 4th Sign... has disbanded or maybe still around w/ a different line
up.
There are two versions of "Under My Wheels" but they are so
different in style you don't mind hearing
it twice. Texylvania version
sounds more like a garage band as Slick Idiot has that euro-dance mix.
