I'll be catching the Morristown, NJ gig, which is less than 10 miles from where I live.

Because of the title of the tour, I wonder if it's an evening with format? If so, it's about damn time Cooper did this. Unfortunately, there is nothing that close to me. Pittsburgh is the closest and even that is a three hour or so drive from me. Hopefully, more shows are announced and he gets a little bit closer.

Im watching alice cooper theater of death live at hammersmith

 

Holy cow is this good so far

 

Saw him on that tour. I was all like :o :o :o when that was over.

 

Excellent show and setlist.

 

Nurse Rosetta and I Never Cry were my favorites because I didn't think I would ever see him do those. I can't decide if this or the set on the No More Mister Nice Guy tour that followed was his best one. Alice is great at choosing his setlists. The set seems to have got stuck in a rut the last few years with the Raise The Dead tour/lowering himself to opening for Motley Crew for over a year.

 

Hopefully, this new tour brings a new setlist and some surprise deep cuts. Alice has always been good at picking those.

Im hoping for an expanded headlining tour beyond what is up. My fear is he will open for someone in the summer again

Along Came a Spider is a great little concept album.

 

(In Touch With) Your Feminine Side is kick ass & endlessly catchy.

 

"It's your world, but it's my street. Come on baby, come on over baby"

 

A great guitar solo to top it all off too.

Listening to Alice's biggest hit "School's Out" right now with the bass blasted. Most people never appreciate the bass line in this song because it's overshadowed by that awesome guitar riff!

 

Dennis Dunaway is a master bassist, definitely overlooked in the world of bassists, rock and otherwise. All of the original Alice troupe were great musicians, they clearly played a huge part in getting Alice off the ground, but Dennis is on his own level.

I looked at the ticket for Morristown show a while back and the remaining seats were not good. Enjoy

Just finished with this week's band of the week...Alice Cooper. All 27 Studio albums, which included the Hollywood Vampires release. It is amazing just how great of a songwriter Alice is and just how many great songs he's recorded over the years.

^ Everything about Alice's life interests me, and the more I learn I more I seem to like the guy.

 

Right now I'm listening through Pretties For You & Easy Action, first time I have in a couple years. I really enjoy "Levity Ball" and "Shoe Salesman". Listening to 60's American psychedelia (like these albums, or the band Love), I can't help but notice the low production value. This might contribute to the sensation that I get when listening to this music: I feel like I've been transported to a simpler, less dissonant time when listening.

:goodone: ...and they are two of Ty Tabor's favourite albums as well.

Alice cooper puts in a hell of a show. Always has a great band. A lot of his material from when he was huge sounds very dated but they really punch it up when they play live. If you get a chance go see him.

I've seen Alice live no less than 20 times over the years and he's always been fantastic.

 

I've never seen him put on a bad show.

 

I've never seen him put on a mediocre show.

 

He just gives 110% into every show.
