"I am a huge fan of Alice Cooper, but I am sick to death of the billion compilations and greatest hits that get put out.



This one here he released years ago under the title "Classics" and has changed little to the tracks. This is NOT a greatest hits, a greatest hits would be a box set from him.



This is a compilation of the Trash, Hey Stoopid and Last Temptation album. Grrrrrrrr, WHY??????? Why Another one????? Why not get it right if you wanna compilation and put together Raise Your Fist and Constrictor, which fit on one 80 minute CD with plenty of room for a few bonus tracks, and release Trash and Hey Stoopid as a 2 CD, or include Last Temptation and Make it a 3CD set, why try to make compilations of them???? The 3 albums are great, the other 2 are just as equal, STOP MAKING COMPILATIONS.



I know it's not Alice making these things; most of the time it is due to changing record labels and owing one more album, but why must they make them some sort of compilation? Why not just release a live album; Alice is yet to have a decent live album released so far, with material since 1979.



All they need to do is make the "Trashes the world" DVD into a live album, and you would have a great live CD, but no, they just tease you with a few decent live tracks mixed in with recorded studio tracks instead.... and the "Fist Full Of Alice" had a few decent tracks, but some of them where no where near as good as they could be played, especially Poison and Feed My Frankenstein.



So how about next record company? A Decent LIVE album for once?"
