A conversation with Prakash John: Wagner's writing was the cornerstone of Alice's success with Welcome to My Nightmare. What a beautiful song, "Only Women Bleed." What a fantastic song. I know he had to share the writing credits with Bob Ezrin and Alice, but that's business. I remember Dick playing that song for me when we were in Lou Reed's band. He was playing all these original tunes for me, and I thought, "What a singer and what great material." He had a great song, "Motor City Showdown," and when he did it at his party, I cried. I thought, "Gee, I forgot how bloody soulful... how emotional that song was." The illustration that his lyrics give you is something else. And if you're from the Detroit area, it means even more to you. web.archive.org/web/20080302064212/www.geocities.com/domenic_troiano/prakash.html
I remember seeing Dick at a place called Daniel’s Den in Saginaw in the late 60’s. Great great show with Donny, Gordy and Bobby. Of course I purchased their albums and they made me proud to love Michigan Rock. He made me want to write music and perform. And a great guy to boot. R.I.P. Dick. The music lives on.
Lived on Sawncreek Rd we used to ride our bikes down to the Golden Glow and peek in the windows and watch them practice and every now and than one of them would sneak out and scare the hell out of us lol.
The Detroit area native helped define an era in rock history by playing lead guitar or writing songs for Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Kiss, Lou Reed, The Frost, Peter Gabriel, Meat Loaf, Steve Perry, Etta James, Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, Air Supply, Hall & Oates, Ringo Starr, Guns & Roses, Tori Amos, Frank Sinatra, and dozens of others.

@@musiclover9361 Thanks for letting me know. His guitar playing is above what's happening today, NOT a fan of Van Halen or Steve Via. More like Mick Taylor or Mike Oldfield
One of the best intros to a song ever

I saw The Frost at Club 32 in Alpena, MI a few times back in the day. One of the absolute best!

Great musician, but he's WRONG about DV which is moslty perpetrated by wo-MEN against >MEN
@@josephesposito3499not his lyrics; his claim is the music. Alice was wrong.

@@josephesposito3499 Steve Vai and Mike Oldfield are virtuosi. They have their appeal but I prefer other styles. I'm a big fan of SRV.
Awesome!!
Excelente interpretacion
Beautiful
wow, this really reached great heights near the end!
I saw the Frost reunion show in Kalamazoo, about that year. Prime stuff, he did more good stuff after this.
RIP
I like this better then the AC version.
Thanks
R.I.P. Dick
Check out Dick's new book on Amazon. "NOT Only Women Bleed". Alice wrote the Forward to it.
"LOVE"! \m/
make me wonder ... what makes somebody popular,
and what makes not .......
R.I.P DICK WAGNER
