THIS MONTH IN ROCK & METAL…
October 28, 1998 - Alice Cooper's publishers filed a lawsuit for copyright infringement against Paul Stanley and Bruce Kulick. The complaint alleged that the KIϟϟ song Dreamin' (from the Psycho Circus album) sounded far too much like the Cooper classic Eighteen, which was released back in 1971. It also suggested that Stanley must have heard the chart-topping single on numerous occasions since the two groups were contemporaries in the 70's 'shock rock' scene. The parties eventually reached an agreement on August 12, 1999 to settle their dispute. Details of the settlement were never made public, but it's rumored to have been in the low six figures.
