Turbine Freight Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Now this should have been the lead single. http://youtu.be/8U0QhxO2kjQ Better than the first song released as a taster I agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I like the new album. It has a similar vibe to the last one but just a notch below it. Still good though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Got tickets to see him in September. I'm glad he's finally playing the theater here. All he does is play theaters and casinos but for whatever reason he's never been booked to play the venue here. The theater gets all the touring musicals and plays so I'm not sure why they've never got Cooper to play here. I guess the venue was happy with booking Manheim Steamroller for the millionth Christmas in a row instead. I haven't seen Cooper in a while so I'm definitely looking forward to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) To me i'm still a new fan but his 70's period is far and away the best BUT again as a newer fan i'd recommensd any of these. Love it to Death Killer Welcome To My Nightmare Billion Dollar Babies Goes to Hell From The Inside those are picks from the 70's. now.......avoid the 80's. it may turn you flat off. save those for last EXCEPT Dada. it's another blackout album. but he pulled off a gem somehow. like a Nightmare for the 80's. If you want a nice taste of later Alice.....Last Temptation and Brutal Planet are VERY good. Again......New fan but i'm already very familiar, lol just my recommendations.

Mick I've been a fan since Constrictor was released and this isn't too far off from what I would recommend for a newer listener. If one did want to hear anything from his hair metal era, I would go with Hey Stoopid. I love Dragontown too. Came out a year after Brutal Planet. They make a great one two punch.

The hair metal phase is one i never need to hear again. but i agree. Hey Stoopid is fun and that was obviusly my first intro to Alice as a kid. Feed my Frankenstein was EVERYWHERE. that was in big part due to his cameo in Wayne's World. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Since Segue loves stuff like Dokken and Ratt, that era of Cooper will probably blow his mind. It's nowhere near as bad as you think it is. Unlike a lot of hair metal bands, Cooper didn't suck at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taurus Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Big Alice fan but he has an uneven discography. Of the Hair Metal albums - Constrictor - Raise Your Fist and Yell - Trash - Hey Stoopid my fave is Raise Your Fist and Yell, only one clunker (Give the Radio Back). Side 2 k of that record is about as good a side of vinyl that Alice ever released, and that tour was bloody great. the next period The Last Temptation Brutal Planet Dragontown I enjoyed much more than the Hair Metal years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Saw him for the ninth time last night. Got to see him do seven songs I've never seen him do before. Once he settles on a setlist, he will play that one for a long time. But he always manages to make sure that he throws in some different stuff whenever he changes it. Alice still performed and sounded really good. I'm not sure who else at age 74 is still that good on stage. His voice has lost some range and is a bit more gritty now but other than that, he has lost nothing. His band was great as usual although I wish Nita Strauss hadn't left. The set had more of the hair metal era in it which really fits her playing style well. The guy who replaced her played with Alice before so they lost nothing with the band chemistry. The usual theatrics that we've come to expect from him were on fully display. He is still very much worth it to go see live. There was no opener. He came on at 7:45 and played until 9:30. Here's the setlist. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/alice-cooper/2022/sheas-performing-arts-center-buffalo-ny-3bb0c0bc.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays most of the big hits we expect but also brings out a number of deep cuts for the more diehard fans. I'm sure that he needs to keep it interesting for himself as well since he still plays a crazy amount of shows. I'm wondering why he isn't doing anything from the latest album though. Social Debris would fit in nicely alongside the older stuff. Edited September 16, 2022 by J2112YYZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 not a huge fan of his latest two albums, but both of them are better than Welcome 2 which i think is his worst, especially considering he had the nerve to make a sequel one of his classic masterpieces... (Caffeine's a cool song though) lately i've been listening to Eyes of Alice Cooper which is an album i haven't listened to more than once in the past (there are still a few left i have to get around to listening to more than just the once: Constrictor and Hey Stoopid are the others that are left) the run of albums he had from Brutal thru Along Came a Spider was a really cool one, Alice has had a lot of different phases but he's been pretty consistent all in all. i wish we'd get another concept album.
