Noize In The Attic Podcast #42 

Host Greg (who sounds like Mr. Rogers) interviews Dennis Dunaway on his book,

Alice Cooper days, the break up, touring and "Paranormal"

Below is my take of the interview so for those who don't want any spoilers

don't go any further if you haven't listened to the podcast.

EvenSpotSpeaks view of podcast:

Between the interview they play some Alice Cooper songs.

Greg sort of hints was it management (Shep Gordon) who suggested the break up 

which Dennis replies it was many of things or straws that broke the camel's back.

Dennis also mentions during the Billion Dollar Babies time Alice was being

separated from the group and they really didn't have any chance to just

do a sit down and talk. Dennis sort of hesitates when Greg implies that Shep wanted
to keep the band together. During this time there were people surrounding Alice
who seem to keep the band away as Dennis responds to these people as chaperons
it sounded to me like he said "Shep"erons.

Another interesting part of the interview is the making of "Paranormal"

or prior to it as being a full original Alice Cooper Group reunion album.

Later changed to a number of songs. What I also asked myself was

why the 2nd CD that was included in the "Paranormal" release was just

part of a live performance w/ the current backing band. I would of thought

why not include the Houston, TX reunion show in which Dennis brought up

saying they were going to use it but changed it to what's on it now.

too me again it seems like they don't want to promote the original band on that 2nd disc.

Of course like Dennis says Alice is such a pleasant person no one

would even bring up the reason for the break up and Alice never mentions it.

I sort of believe they (the original band members) won't bring it up to Alice

since it's like scaring away a little animal. You don't want to make noise

or wave your arms that it may run away. The original group plays

w/ Alice from time to time which is better than not at all.

Suggested this will be baby steps in recording a whole album

but I honestly think it would not happen since Alice is still 

surrounded by "Shep"erons.
