Know this is off topic. Caught Alice Cooper show in Clearwater on Saturday. For a man pushing 70 he still has it. Without question the best back up band I have ever seen! During his " I love the dead" segment where he pays tribute to rock legends who have left us he sang Pinball Wizard as a tribute to Keith Moon from The Who!!! What a show!!! Anyone for a Alice Cooper pin???
Years ago I caught his cane that he tossed into the crowd at the end of the show. At a party once I pull it out of the closet "Hey check it out - Alice Coopers freaking cane!!!
Agreed I saw him maybe two years ago. Marilyn Manson opened and looked like a fat sad geezer compared to the show Alice put on.
Quoted from Gryszzz:Alice still have that gorgeous blonde guitarist that completely outshreds her two male counterparts ?
He sure does bro! Nita Strauss who took over in 2014 for another hot blond Orianthi. She is smokin'!!!
Can always be relied upon for a great show. Orianthi was fantastic in his band. Caught her in a tiny club in London a couple of years ago with alice's band and joined by the man himself for the encore in front of maybe 100-150 punters.
Would love an Alice pin....
Met would be a natural re-theme to Alice. Already got the snake and change sparky to Alice getting hanged. He was my first concert in 1972 - The "Killer" tour. As a 15 year old it was a hell of a way to start my concert life. 200 rock shows later it is still in my top 10. I was front row center 10 years ago in a small theater and it was great.
Search Alice Cooper. We have talked about this before. SOOOOOOO many cool ideas for a pinball.

Have not had the chance to see him live, but read a book back in high school by a dude who toured with Alice back in the BABIES days just so he could wright a book about him. cant remember his name, but a great book.
Would love to see Alice in concert!
Bring on the pin!
and the Beer!
It was Billon Dollar Babies by Bob green. Some was fiction and stretched truth. Alice's management loved to do that for publicity in the beginning.

I think she had red hair when I saw them. We weren't sitting up close enough to the front to get any of the "billion Dollar Bills" that were dropped, or his cane.
I've seen Alice over a dozen times.
I stopped going to his shows as the set list is stagnant and he ignores the vast portfolio he has created in 40 plus years. Glad he's still going but for a long term fan, his shows are best for younger folks who have not had a chance to see him.

Who came from THE IRON MAIDENS!

Bro, respect what you are saying. But, I have seen Rolling Stones 4 times, Kiss 4 times, Deep Purple twice, ACDC 5 times, and Ozzy/Black Sabbeth 3 times. Outside of maybe 2 or 3 songs....there set list has been exactly the same. Again, I am talking about recent tours in the past 6 years where there was not a lot of new material being released.
Love me some cooper,saw many times at Cobb hall Detroit 74-76,way way ahead of his time and "love it to death" through "muscle of love" were same great albums,I lost track after that but I am sure there is a lot more to love,billion dollar baby's with Donavin leach doing the vocals,fantastic,special times for me hi school and all that.
I used to have an elderly neighbor in her early 90s... About 5 years ago she was squinting her eyes from about 2 feet away from me and leaning in to try to focus on the image on my shirt and asks me "What does your shirt say?". I replied "It says Alice Cooper". She relaxed her eyes and smiled leaning back and said "Oh, that's nice". I Figured it was just elderly/neighborly chitchat and to my surprise, she followed it up with "Ahhh, He's such a nice young man... is he still playing?". Later, she even showed me a few LPs she had tucked between her Count Basie and Benny Goodman albums.
Who knew!?! lol
