We reach the half way point of season 2 from AXS TV's Worlds Greatest Tribute Bands. There was a lot of anticipation for this weeks show for two reasons. One, Alice Cooper was one of my favorite bands growing up. I loved the Welcome To My Nightmare album. I could never get enough of Cold Ethel. And I always looked forward to the end of the school year when all of the radio stations would play School's Out. The second was Katie said in tweet last week that she was "shopping for new slutty dresses to wear on The World's Greatest Tribute Bands." If you saw the show, you know the answer, If not, scroll down and you will see what she picked up.
When the curtain rose, the stage looked like Vincent Price's living room. Complete with a coffin, a guillotine and several decapitated dolls. Alice in Cooperland opened with Billion Dollar Babies and Alice appeared from his coffin. The show was filled with all of the theatrics of a real Alice Cooper concert, including a Wayne and Garth, we're not worth appearance. No Alice Cooper show would be complete without the slutty nurse and the secret service to protect Alice when he is Elected. The show was loud and the band sounded great. All of the band members are top notch musicians and are worth seeing out side of the tribute show.
There was also a special appearance by David Brighton, the lead singer from the David Bowie tribute band Space Oddity. Space Oddity was the first show of season two and a great show to watch.
The Alice in Cooperland band member consists of Jeff Schofield on Lead guitar, Rob Lontok on Bass, Jeff Page on Drums, Michael Jacobson on Keyboards and Larry Cornwall as Alice. There were also several stage hands/props to assist with the show including the slutty nurse / dominatrix / throat slashing victim to give the show the realism of a real Alice Cooper concert.
If you are a Alice Cooper fan, I highly recommend seeing Alice in Cooperland. You will not be disappointed.
The first set opened with Billion Dollar Babies and then continued with I'm Eighteen, Feed My Frankenstein, Under My Wheels, Only Women Bleed, Welcome To My Nightmare, Go to Hell, Poison, No More Mr. Nice Guy, Be My Lover, Killer, and to finish the first set, I Love the Dead.
The second set was short and sweet with School's Out, Elected and Cold Ethel.
