I created a place with 'Dragontown' that is kind of a parallel Hell and in some cases I did the unthinkable; I took some of rock's greatest heroes, who are supposed to be in Heaven, and sent them directly to Hell.
I did all the Beatles background for that; I even gave it that little nasal John Lennon sound on the vocal. I just thought that if there is a rock 'n' roll Heaven, then I don't think these guys are there. I think that their lifestyles probably put them in a much darker place.
At the time Alice told 'Get Rhythm' magazine about his relationship with Spitfire Records: "Oh it's a hundred times better, you never get lost in the shuffle. When I was with Warner Brothers I was in a stable with over a hundred more acts -great acts- so if you did not have a number 1 album you were not getting number 1 preference, while with a smaller label you are the focus for them all the time.
But after a while these record companies became so big, I could see it coming, that they just didn't care anymore, all they cared about was getting the product out, sell it and get the money. That's when I decided I had to go with a smaller company.
You never know who you are really working for with a major label now, so many labels are owned by companies with nothing to do with music. They are only interested in the product and whether it will sell, it could be Coca Cola, McDonalds, everything is so corporate. All they and the radio stations, who they influence and control via advertising, are after is the next thing. They cannot sit around and understand and nurture new talent and what they already have. They are always worried somebody else is going to get the upper hand on them, so a band doesn't really get a chance, one strike and you're out.
I'll tell you something really interesting. There is a name artist I know, but I'll not name, that sold five million of his last album and the record company told him that if he does not sell at least five million with his next he is out, and that's insane! Although stylistically very similar in style the album did come across as a more diverse collection of songs.
In some places it was possibly even heavier, with the slow grind of 'Deeper', but as before Alice's voice pulled everything together. Sadly as with 'Brutal Planet' the album didn't exactly set the charts alight. It barely touched the US Billboard charts at , and even in the UK it stalled at 87, 51 places below it's predecessor.
The terribly cheap looking cover probably didn't help. Was that really the best they could come up with? Although promotional CDs of both 'Triggerman' and 'It's Much Too Late' were sent to radio stations no commercial single was released from 'Dragontown'.
Chances are even it there had been a single it wouldn't have gone anywhere. Alice spoke t 'Get Rhythm about sevral songs on the album: "[The Triggerman] is a bit like the cigarette smoking man in The X-Files, the cancer man. He is the power behind the throne, he is the guy that pushes all the buttons that nobody ever knows about, no DNA, no identity.
He's the guy that makes things happen but in my story he finally meets his match and ends up in 'Dragontown'. He invited me over one night and we talked for a real long time. That would be back in about '72 when he looked real good, he was like the Elvis we all like to remember. When I saw how he ended up, saw that he was bloated and stoned and wasn't really the Elvis I knew.
