New article (includes show spoilers)

[francois]

Hello, just saw this on the web:
http://blog.syracuse.com/entertainment/ ... _to_p.html

and this confirmed the information: “It’ll be a unique show for us, something we’ve never done before,” Cooper says. “You have the four friends of mine that died, and we’re doing the songs. John Lennon. Keith Moon. Jim Morrison. Jimi Hendrix. It’s a tribute. They were classic rockers. Let’s tip a glass to them. We do it musically. They were my big brothers in the day,” he says. “I think that we have fun doing covers, but let’s do it for a reason. Let’s do it for the family we had in that day.”

That would appear to be the same article that is referred to in the first post in this thread.

This article on the front page has a lot more information about the show.

8 covers? wow!

I'm mostly excited about this part:


SPOILERS BELOW



Will the nightmare stuff in the second part of the show include tracks from both Welcome to My Nightmare (Atlantic, 1975) and Welcome 2 My Nightmare (Universal, 2011) albums?

A: Yeah, this is our chance to include songs from the old and new Nightmares, and some fairly spooky Alice Cooper stuff. I think that’s always expected this time of year. You need the Halloween stuff, and that’s always part of our show anyways. But incorporating it in the way that we’re going to be incorporating it, I think it’s going to be pretty cool.

Hope we might see Former Lee Warmer or perhaps the trilogy from RYFAY

[Diane D.]

Whatever... By the time, that show will come to my area, it won't be Halloween anymore.

8 covers? wow!

I'm hoping getting everyone in the band to pick two songs for each artist was actually a way of narrowing it down to vote for four songs. If it really was eight that would be tedious in the extreme.

I hope we aren't going to not get this tour next year or the whole setlist will be drastically changed

Yea, I was under that impression too and that it would be more like 4 covers.

Given Alice's recent track records, I'm betting he'll tour this for at least a full year if not two.

They may tweak things, but I can't imagine them investing this much time, effort and money in the staging to scrap it all.

I dont mind him keeping the same tour - I cant see anything wrong with tweaking 5 or 6 of the tracks he plays.

[HORRORHOLIC]

I wonder why Alice isn't doing the full Nightmare 2 show anymore. His last two albums which were also his most successful and promoted albums in a long, long time were both concept albums that never had a full show built around them. This show does sound really interesting though.

I can hear roxie and ori practcing "dwight fry" on one of the new vids (at least I think..the videos don't play good for me at all)

Yeah, I thought that too. And they're also playing what Tommy calls 'Filthy Diamonds'

It'll be good to have that back in the setlist. One of my favourites.

Thanks to The List interview that's recently posted Alice reveals:
"So I’m going to raise the dead and do an eight song tribute to those artists with two songs from Lennon, two from The Doors, two from The Who and two songs from Hendrix."
I'm gutted. What a terrible idea.

It does mean that we probably won't get any rare songs as the other two sections will all be his hits and the Nightmare songs. I'm disappointed too but I'm still hoping for a great show.

[mestreech]

It will be a great show I'm sure of that. Alice never disappoints.
We get 8 covers (and I do think this is a great idea) + new songs from W2MN and I'm sure Alice will give us another surprise song.
Let's wait and see.

on the tour blog,I love when roxie comes in holding an apple laptop and announces,"I have the set list in here!!!"

Of course that could always be a Medley too.
