I was thinking of a few things to help the promotion of the next album:
. Get back to the sci-fi themes, avoid pure "hard rock" songs,
. Get a real good and well known designer for the cover. Never again those
Club Ninja or Heaven Forbid type of crap. Why not Moebius - remember
Heavy-Metal? The style of Meobius is so well in sync with BOC. Remeber FOUO
and CE. And make some nois about it.
. Get somebody famous to co-write one or more songs like they did with Patti
Smith at that time. And let the world know. Flame off - why not a
collaboration with rappers - Fat Boy Slim?, or Mirwais (the one who wrote
Madonna songs) - , or AC/DC, or Metallica, Springsteen, Red Hot Chili
Peppers, or a well know classical orcherstra - Flame on.
. Organise a worldwide tour and advertise it. Last time they came to France
was without any advertising, in a very small venue, and no press coverage.
. Why not organise a "monsters of rock" type of tour. Remember Reading in
the lat 70s with Black Sabbath. Why not a revival of the black and blue
tour?
. Why not a cover of some well know rock classic song?
. Try hard to have on song as the main song of the next big sci-fi movie or
as the theme of a new video game.
. Why not the come back of the Bouchards and make an "original lineup" tour?
. Politicize again the songs, for example anti-nazi songs, that would
contrast with BE252 or Celine type of songs, or against the liberal
globalisation (remeber Seattle?)...
. ...
Some may look simplistic and naive, but I love BOC for so long and I am so
frustrated. I'd like them to be recognised for what they were, what they
still are and what thy could be.
Pardon my english ;-)
