The ‘80s could be pretty shit. There was plenty of groundbreaking music happening in metal, hardcore, indie and elsewhere, but it was sandwiched between vast piles of bland, vacuous drivel. For reasons best known to themselves, Aussie mob MOBS have decided to revisit the worst parts of the decade. There’s nothing wrong with the gimmicky concept of this debut album, which presents songs themed around classic ‘80s films, but it’s executed terribly. I’ll Be Back channels The Terminator through Billy Ocean’s When The Going Gets Tough, while Big World is a take on Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, and the Ferris Bueller-inspired School’s Out is less Alice Cooper and more awful beige pop-funk.

Live from the.. -CD+Blry-
CD + Blu-ray. By 1974, the Alice Cooper group had risen to the upper echelon of rock stardom... and then, parted ways. In October 2015, over 40 years later, record store owner and superfan Chris Penn convinced the original line-up to reunite for a very special performance at his record store Good Records in Dallas, Texas. Alice Cooper (vocals), Michael Bruce (guitar), Dennis Dunaway (bass) and Neal Smith (drums) were joined on stage by Alice's current guitarist Ryan Roxie (standing in for the late Glen Buxton). A packed audience, believing they had come to Good Records for Dennis Dunaway's 'Snakes! Guillotines! Electric Chairs!' book signing, were surprised to bear witness to a full-blown happening. The historic reunion show including all-time classics such as "No More Mr. Nice Guy", "I'm Eighteen" and "School's Out" is now becoming available for the very first time worldwide. Luckily the event was documented. "Live From The Astroturf, Alice Cooper" (edited and directed by Steven Gaddis) toured the world to the acclaim of music fans and rock journalists alike. The documentary won multiple awards for it's coverage of the historic event. Now all Alice Cooper fans and rock music lovers across the globe can enjoy this movie as it's included as a video bonus to this live album. Pop the popcorn, blow up the balloons, dim the lights, and crank it up!
