CREEM – “America’s Only Rock ‘N’ Roll Magazine” [Documentary Review]

They were young, rail-thin long-hairs donning tie-dyes and denim — modern-day ministers on a common mission to spread their own “Good News” Gospel. With reckless abandon, they engaged in rampant drug use, unabashed booze bingers and frequent physical confrontations — with each other. They first came together during the golden age of rock and roll — 1969. But they weren’t unrefined instrumentalists — they were unfiltered journalists. And this isn’t a biopic of some bloated band. It’s the story of CREEM — “America’s Only Rock ‘N’ Roll Magazine.” Notoriously unapologetic, the “America’s Only Rock ‘N’ Roll Magazine” mantra crowned the iconic CREEM logo plastered across the cover of each monthly edition for decades.

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!
