Except that me being more used to British expressions I find the term "pant report" to be er, a bit wrong?

But yes, of course I want to know all the wardrobe details

Thanks Hunter - hopefully there'll be a good choice when the show rolls around to the UK.

Always hoping for Canadian dates later on (not sure if I've mentioned that before), I hope they put out the 'signed 3X5 photos and picks' package of each band member like they had last tour. They were $15 each for three signed pics and three guitar picks, I believe. I'd snag me a Damon Johnson set quicker than you can say Merle Haggard's Chicago Wind.

Oh, here in brasil in 2007 we only had t-shirts. Got one of each, and would have got everything they had if there were more! hope they come again, and this time with the whole merch for sale! Would love to have an ALice Cooper bear, pics etc.

I have no words.

Just the sound "SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!"

Thank you Hunter!!!

The t-shirt style that Alice is wearing in your backstage photos - I presume that's one of the ones available at the merch table?

SickThings · Post by **SickThings** » Sat Aug 01, 2009 10:01 pm

You know, I can't remember. I think that was one of the T-shirts for sale.

Glad you liked the photos!

Thanks for putting those up.

Incredible!

I think they also highlight the differences between inside and outside performances.

Some really fantastic costumes/effects/sets;- clearly much investment of time effort and dollars into this show.

I reckon the show's 'got legs', eight of 'em!!!!

Swinger · Post by **Swinger** » Sat Aug 01, 2009 10:15 pm

Wow! I'm sitting here with a big stupid grin on my face after seeing those pictures.

Alice's looking crazier than ever.

And those outfits. Wow!

Hate to be a downer, but I thought the exectution (pun intended) of the show wasn't well thought out. The killings just seemed to be slapped together and gave a lack of coherence to the whole presentation. I loved the alice netting, but I thought the lower case 'a' looked to similiar to a 'd' and would have liked to see them come down midway through. Not having Calico perform was a big disappointment, as her replacement did no dancing, flips, etc. Although it appeared she was wearing Calico's outfits and had to do some major adjusting as she laid on the floor to prevent a wardrobe malfunction (I was front row and she was directly in front of me). I am so used to a 3 song encore that School's Out alone, esp. after already getting a pice of it, was a let down. Also, there were no band intros during the encore. The new guillotine was good and the gallows presentation was better than the last tour. The hypodermic needle was a bit silly, but was definitely above the crotch. The impaling device could have been better (how about some blood coming out). The prop to impale the stage hand wasn't staying together and Alice had to hold it in the joint. I wasn't sure what the effect of the stairs was supposed to be, but it was kind of neat, but I thought the jacket wasn't well done, as soon as Alice moved a bit two of the legs on the right arm got wrapped together. Alice threw out beads and dollars, but kept all of his canes, crops, and hats. Alice's inmate outfit also had the Spider logo, crosses, and lyrics written on it ("how long have I been gone", "did winter kill the long"). Loved the closing outfit and some of the new hats. Some sound problems and the road crew seemed inexperienced. It took awhile to get KK unhooked and to replace Alice's earbuds. Don't get me wrong, a great show that I loved, but that is a given with Alice. Hopefully, some of the kinks will be worked out by South Bend.

Oooh thank you, thank you! Squeeee!

Boy I adore that hat, with the crocodile head on it! Great outfits. Kind of like voodoo meets Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Same with that red jacket with the bones! I want one!

Hm, do you think my boss will notice if I take a few of our stuffed animals apart?

Just one interrogation, why the pink straight jacket? Oh well, that's deliciously tacky in a way.
He, he, did you notice the lock on the straight jacket has the keys in the lock? That's plain cruel ha, ha!

Alice looks in great shape!

Oh thank you Hunter, you just made my night!

WickedYoungMan · Post by **WickedYoungMan** » Sat Aug 01, 2009 11:57 pm

Thanks for that Hunter.

The front "Theater of Death" curtain looks cool. The backdrop looks cool, but just from the looks of those photos I'm not sure I care for that "A-L-I-C-E" banner hanging down personally. Seems to be an extra element in the stage set that can be done without.

From what I've heard Rob Roth (I'm assuming he did the stage show this year again) has a tendency to go a little over the top on certain things in that it can be a bit of a hassle to set up and designs things more for indoor stationary shows, which Alice's shows certainly aren't. That isn't a slam though at all, the stage show is more ambitious than the past few tours certainly and Rob seems to be a respected stage designer.

I loved finding all of the references in "Renfield Nelson Asylum" outfit.

Now I need an alligator head! Too bad I can't afford to make it to any shows this tour.
