Alice Cooper‘s concert started with the whole band on stage, except him: where is Alice Cooper?
A big panel in the middle of the stage fell and he appeared behind it.
Alice Cooper’s concerts are not just about music, but they are a big show, where he and his band tell stories, interact with monsters, killers, crazy characters, while having blood spots everywhere on the clothes.
Speaking of which, I think it was amazing to see how agelessly he could perform: not only he ran up and down the stage, but he wore a different costume for every song, acting like a great actor, while singing and doing the right gesture at the perfect time.
It’s raining picks, Hallelujah! All the guitarists on stage had many picks and it was a continuous throwing of these little triangles: I was a bit disappointed with myself for not being just in front of the stage.
Before starting Feed My Frankenstein, an horrific creature helped him wearing a blood stained crazy doctor coat. In the middle of the song, a gigantic Frankenstein made it to the stage and chased the musicians.
On Dirty Diamonds Alice Cooper started throwing necklaces to the crowd: it was the second time I regretted not to be just closer. Going home with a relic from Alice Cooper’s concert would have been quite cool.
It was a continuous theatrical show: next in line, during Hey Stoopid, a photographer wandered on stage annoying the band; he didn’t get away with it and ended up stubbed by Alice Cooper’s stick.
From singing a whole song stuck in a straitjacket to an amazing guitar solo from Nita Strauss, to a dance and fight with the doll that had been lurking from the stage for the whole time.
The doll didn’t have a nice end and, after a ballad where Alice Cooper’s face ability of expressing all different emotions reached the next level, she came alive.
It was love and hate: they kissed, and then he killed her.
It was justice time, and a guillotine was brought on stage for Alice Cooper, who was beheaded. The cold blood alive doll pulled up his head and showed it to the crowd. A dark and spectacular moment.
Believe it or not, Alice Cooper was still alive and showed up all white dressed: big balloons were thrown to the crowd, that played with them while still caught in the big drama on stage.
The big concert ended with the cover Smells like teen spirit.
What a great show the Copenhell folk experienced!!!
