Opening night of the tour on the opening night of a new arena in my city.
Amazing musicianship- outstanding showmanship.

Seen Alice about 7or 8 times over the years. Never disappoints. Always a great show.
He always delivers the goods and has always had a seriously good band. Sure, it's got some 'theater' with a wink and a nod, but it's all damned good rock.

I remember seeing them at the Chicago Amphitheatre back in '71....wow what a freaky show...
He does a lot of charity work here in the valley and seems like a really cool person....
As a side note: 'Killer" is in my 25 albums.....probably doesn't say much about me....

It says I like your taste. I always rate Killer as one of the Coop' s best

Cooper has a huge catalogue of tunes.

Nice! Always loved Alice.
My first concert ever was Alice Cooper on his Constrictor tour (with Megadeth opening on their Peace Sells tour)...that show set the bar so high for anything I saw after!

I can't really say I'm a fan, but I did see him once back in the day and enjoyed the show. I thought that was going to be his final show, what with his head being cut off, but I guess they sewed it back on and kept going. What a trooper!

Front row center at Halifax Metro Centre back in ‘06, with my wife who I lost to cancer. What a night that was, what an awesome crazy show. We got handed a bunch of swag and put together this shadowbox. Sometimes feels like it’s mostly all in the past now, the richness of life, but a Teenage Frankenstein’s gotta keep lurching forward.

I checked his website, all the shows are in Europe. Has he already done a stateside tour?
Playing at the O2 tomorrow. Man, I'd like to see that. Can't even be whisked away on a private jet because I don't have a passport.

He was out here in Cali last month...I couldn't talk my wife into seeing him again

Saw him on the Paranormal tour in 2017.
What made that show so special for me was that Neal Smith, Michael Bruce and Dennis Dunaway joined him onstage for part of the show. Real shame Glen Buxton wasn't able to be there as well, for obvious reasons..... RIP Glen.
Alice has always had a great band over the years, whoever was in it, but for me the REAL Alice Cooper was the original band that made those classic first few albums. Thats why I just HAD to see the Paranormal show. Of all the shows I have seen, and I've seen many, many top acts over many years, that show will stay in my memory for ever.
