Lorraine Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) How do you make that sound at the beginning of Unfinished Sweet? I'm assuming it's a guitar? Considering this was 1973, they did this song pretty good without all of the sequencers and triggers or whatever they are called that they used later. Too bad I can't recall my reaction to this concert, but I must have satisfied. Edit: Don't mean to keep gushing, but this bootleg is really excellent. What impresses me the most is knowing the amount of booze he was consuming, and assuming that the other band members were high on one drug or another, they sounded darn good. I am surprised thought that he can still sing today. He used his voice pretty harshly back then with all of his throaty screaming.

J2112YYZ Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I always thought the beginning of Unfinished Sweet was played with keyboards of some kind. Saw him play the song back in 1997 but am drawing a blank on how it was done. Here's a great fan page for all sorts of Cooper info. http://sickthingsuk.co.uk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Paranormal is the best album Alice has put out in a long time :) the only track I don't care for is Rats, and unfortunately the title track could really use some polishing (there's too many pauses..) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) I listened to the album. The three songs I liked on it: FireballParanormalParanoiac Personality The other songs, I got the impression that he was reaching back trying to recapture something that was long gone. On the other hand, it's pretty impressive for someone his age to still be churning out music like this.

But, I have to be honest, he had better be careful. Look what happened to Tom Petty. Alice is no spring chicken. He could have a heart attack and drop dead from these stressful tours.

But, I have to be honest, he had better be careful. Look what happened to Tom Petty. Alice is no spring chicken. He could have a heart attack and drop dead from these stressful tours. He turns 70 next year so he's a few years older than Petty. He seems to take great care of himself and live very healthy since getting sober back in the 80s. I see him in the same vein as Keith Richards. They've both defied the odds and keep on going. But yes, something like a heart attack can happen out of nowhere.

Lorraine Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) Hatch, did he do the scream at the beginning of Billion Dollar Babies? I'd be surprised if he did. That would be touch on his throat at his age. I mean doing it once in a while is one thing, but on tour for months and nights on end is something else. How do you do BDB without Donovan?
