Does it really matter that much?

Kind of odd that it was there, then. what show(s) did you see this? every show i've seen have used simple stage lighting, nothing more. All four that I went to. Perhaps you are taking my usage of the word "video" too literally. What they had was moving images reflecting off of the backdrop behind t...

I believe you are incorrect.

Kind of odd that it was there, then.

But I bet a Cooper show could be done brilliantly with a video backdrop ... Zombie does it well from the little I've seen, Manson used it brilliantly from '07 and in neither case does it remove any element of theatre to it - on the contrary, it helps it when carefully used to compliment the action ...

>benefits Alice greatly to have some top notch electronic visuals behind him rather than a banner I disagree. Why would you want him to do what everyone else is doing?

Okay, okay... only for Alice... but I'm changing the station immediately after.

I second that, Shoey!

[quote="sammysausage76"]I was checking out the setlists and it appears that Alice has the same setlist on the Gruesome Twosome tour and Alice only shows, is this confirmed, I would think that it would be a full show with more songs added back. I hope the songs make it back for the summer shows witho...

Does Anyone know why the last couple Alice sets have had some songs cut or why the set list has switched up? I really hope he continues playing Killer and Department Of youth. I'll be at the last date of the G2some tour at Artpark in Buffalo. Any info would be appreciated. They shortened the set a ...

So good.. Going to the show i norway in june so i will buy there.. I like the way we can buy the "bootleg" on the way out :bam: if it's an official item, then it's not a bootleg. I think that's why he put them in quotes. I think this is a brilliant idea, and I wish they would have thought of it a w...

$25 at the show.

What about usb-sticks. Do they sell it on this tour? Yes. You can also preorder them. I'd suggest going to the show first, though. I thought about doing preordering for the Wyoming show, but am glad I didn't since Keri's guitar kept going out. I'm hoping for a longer setlist this summer so I could ...

that was my thought. he did wear the mirrored tux during nmmng.

I remember that.

I was hoping they would do the full set in KC since Alice was solo. I understand why they didn't, but it still would have been nice.

They played it at the beginning and end in KC on May 8th. correct. i should have stated that it had not been played twice (to my memory) before casper, wyoming. i still don't recall it being played twice in casper. and that is a song one would remember. Maybe the shiny suit scrambled my brain.

Alice opened with School's Out tonight and did not play it again, tho Zombie closed the night with his version. Dirty Diamonds was replaced with Elected. He still threw out necklaces, just during Elected. I'd like to hear "Elected" again. I have to say, I'm a bit curious as to the setlist for Rockf...

i don't believe it has ever been played twice this tour. i think skullboy was mistaken.

I went to the Casper, Wyoming show on Wednesday. I've been reading around that Alice cut four songs and also the second "School's Out". When I saw them the did the second "School's Out" but not at the end, instead it was the third to last song. Has he done this at any of the other shows? The other b...

Sounds cool. I remember him talking about doing a '40s radio theme for the next tour, which ended up being the Theatre of Death. It sounds like that me be the next tour concept.

I know that he's doing a shorter version for Rockfest, since his set is only scheduled for 1 hour an 10 minutes. Sad.

I take it you haven't seen him in a few years.
