For those who just want to listen to a good rockalbum should pass this.<BR/><BR/>This could have been a great album if just they have had Bob Ezrin producing the album and, like you said, Bruce didn't do the vocals. Neals voice is much better.<BR/><BR/>I'll post the solo albums from Neal and Bruce later.n8w8 (nightwatch)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14453115357794671774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21835510.post-58856106482327186262007-05-07T06:15:00.000+02:002007-05-07T06:15:00.000+02:00Thanks so much for this!

I had this album back when it came out, and never thought I'd hear it again.<BR/><BR/>I have to say, though, that your comments don't give these guys enough credit. Don't forget that "Alice Cooper" was the name of a band before it was the name of a singer, and these guys (Mike Bruce in particular) are responsible for writing virtually all of the music on the classic Alice Cooper (the band) albums like "Billion Dollar Babies", "School's Out", and "Killer". Alice Cooper (the singer) mostly contributed lyrics.<BR/><BR/>Dismissively calling them Alice's "sidemen", or suggesting that they took their name from "his" album does them a disservice. Now, I'm not saying that "Battle Axe" was their finest hour. In fact, it convincingly demonstrates how important Alice was as a vocalist -- the singing on this album is, to be kind, mediocre. But old-time Coop fans remember what it was like when the band was together, and this album is a reminder of who was coming up with the riffs.<BR/><BR/>Dennis is *such" a good bassist. I see in Wikipedia that he put out an album last year -- I'll have to track that one down.Jim Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07840228636027306303noreply@blogger.com
