Talk:Love It to Death/Archive 1

Hard rock?? Heavy metal???
Love it to death, Killer, Schools out, Billion dollar babies, Muscle of love and Welcome to my nightmare are all glam rock. Why the hell there is no glam rock on those albums genre? And then there is "hard rock" and "heavy metal"...Why?!? Everyone knows that Cooper's hard rock/heavy metal period started on Constrictor. He has said it even himself. Do something!!!

 * Non-notable links cannot be used as references. All of Alice Cooper's listed genres are properly cited, verifiable and musically valid. He was called heavy metal before anyone really knew what heavy metal was. And has been one of the genres main spokespeople in every TV/Movie documentary ever made about the genre. To say that he isn't would be incorrect and invalid POV. 156.34.142.110 17:36, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

the why & wherefore
This article, and the album's mention on the controversial album art (or whatever it's currently titled) page, suggest that the reason the LP picture was altered was to remove Alice giving the finger but I'm afraid you kids & teens have been misinformed somewhere and are passing along another erroneous assumption here on yet another Wikipedia topic (not unlike how confused so many of you are about when heavy metal came into existence). The record company censored the cover due to some morons imagining that Alice's manhood was sticking out of his open fly and making a stink about that in the press. Rather than the record label pointing out how stupid that idea was, they knuckled under to the imbecilic complaint and revised the cover. (Yes, I have seen the original, as well as the replacement.) Though I dare say they were happy with how much free publicity this got for the (deserving) LP. IanHistor (talk) 23:04, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Dunaway's bass?
Can anyone find a reliable source for this? Dunaway had a Gibson EB-0 that he painted green and put mirrors on called "the Frog", but googling around it sounds like he used a Fender Jazz in the studio. Can anyone confirm or refute this? Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 06:24, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Recent edit
Still have this on my watchlist as I reviewed for FAC... Not sure about the expression "took influence from" -- was anything really wrong with the more conventional "was influenced by"? Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 01:17, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * You're right—I've reverted. Probably shouldn't be copyediting on three hours sleep, but some of the prose has been bothering me for a while—particularly the second sentence, but every attempt I've made at rewriting it has been garbage. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 01:42, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

The Ballad of Dwight Fry in Dark Shadows
Should the use of the song "The Ballad of Dwight Fry" in the 2012 cinematic remake of "Dark Shadows," where Chloë Grace Moretz imitates the little girl in the intro be added to this be mentioned? -User:DanTD (talk) 14:26, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
