He was playing downtown within walking distance so we checked it out. Same old Alice which is what people want. It was a two hour set which was impressive. His players are really good and I finally heard a bass/drum solo that was not bad. Alice certainly isn't getting any prettier.

Would love to catch him someday.

Saw him on Letterman a few years back, and he played w/ the house band and his guitarist. Did "No More Mr. Nice Guy". Absolutely killed it. :thu:

Alice is a good guy. and a true showman in the most traditional sense. He never goes out and slags around - he's a consummate pro.
:thu:

This can't be overstated. He is the master showman. I love that guy.

thats a tricky bassline (for me anyway) no real patterns except during the chorus.

Alice said that he will quit when he can't blow away any other band off the stage. I saw him last year and he certainly blew many bands away. His band was top-notch and Alice's perfomance was exceptional.

Well, it was Will Lee holding down the low end! ;)


Does anyone know if he has a good DVD out? Just in case I never make it? :)

Will Lee played on that track? I didn't know that!



Haha, no on the Letterman appearance, sorry! :)

I'm sure it's on YouTube somewhere. It was flawless.

Alice Cooper Live at Montreaux (SP?) Jazz Festival is a great live DVD.

He played it live on David Letterman is what was meant.

Consumate pro for sure. Vincent is the man. :thu:

He's local these days. Hosts a radio show on a local station on the weekends - I liked him when I was a kid but have gained a lot more respect for him now that I've heard his opinions on a buncha stuff.

Yep - I heard him with Terri Gross on NPR (he was promoting a new book, i think) and he just comes across as a very centered and intelligent guy. Great sense of humor too.

He DJ's a local radio station here every weekday evening from 7-12. He does interviews and deep cuts as well as Coopers Covers of any band covering any other band. He has lots of bootlegs he picks from... :thu::thu:

Saw him last year at the Rialto in Joliet. I went along because I thought it would be some campy fun. Great show! Enjoyed it far more than I expected. Man, the guy's got some energy!

That's the show I went to. The Rialto Felt "pressurized" from the volume. It was a great show..I'm glad that I had hearing protection.

I think his radio show is syndicated because he's on one of our local stations as well. They don't make 'em like Alice anymore. Which may or may not be a good thing depending on one's perspective. :D (Personally, I think he kicks major ass.)

On many levels, Alice is a BRILLIANT man!! He is a great performer and a good businessman overall. I really like his radio show too. He always throws in some odd song from the 60's and 70's that's really kewl. My only beef is that with all his money, can't he get a decent mic for his radio show!! :p
