Who Knows ?

Post by danielleV » Thu Nov 06, 2014 11:42 pm

On a tour Alice has used a stage effect inspired by à scene of the cult movie (and my life's favorite movie!)"Phantom of the Paradise" by Brian De Palma. In what tour and what scène? Who is able to tell?

I think on the "The King Of The Silver Screen Tour" Alice used to come out of a shoe box in a Paul Williams costume.

Okay--was it from "The King Of The Silver Screen Tour" where Alice took a shower on stage in a oversized shower stall and was chased around by a giant loofer and bar of soap?

Could you be thinking of the Frankenstein like table from the South American Tour in 1995?
If I recall there was a dummy or girl on a table suspended from the lighting rig. The table was raised up with lots of smoke and then dropped sideways to reveal it was empty, or something like that? Think it was FMF, been a long time since I watched it.

Can`t find it on youtube but video exists, just can`t lay my hands on it right now.

That table was also used on the 1991 Operation Rock and Roll Tour.

Haha I don't know about Alice doing something inspired by a scene in a cult movie but most of the cult movie was inspired by Alice(especially the mock violence)- with a touch of Arthur Brown make up- The singer looks like Marc Almond-wonder if he was inspired by the movie- Great clip-thanks for reminding me of this. PS-One band member's make up very Kiss Like or is it the other way round lol
You are an individual, just like everybody else.

If anything inspired Alice for this, I would guess it came from here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H3dFh6GA-A

Of course. That`s why It's (I) refer to it as the Frankenstein table. Alice has even used the dialogue on stage before FMF from time to time.

Which is why I don't believe for one second that it was inspired by Phantom of the Paradise.

I agree. We were just trying to pinpoint the effect Danielle was refering to. If anything they were both drawing form the same source material.
