Message from Shep

Post by cherrypie » Fri Nov 02, 2012 9:50 pm

So great to hear from him that they take notice of what was said. It showed in the way the show evolved from Cardiff right through to Sheffield - and what an amazing gig that was! Helped that I could lean on the stage, got the contents of the caffiene cup tipped on my head, AND came away with Alice's crop.

But the sound was great, the covers intro made much more sense, and Alice's voice and the band were on top form. Can't wait for next year - PLEASE COME BACK HERE AFTER THE SHIP OF FEAR :)

Re a message from Shep, That's the beauty of the Alice Cooper camp, no matter who you are and no matter who you approach from within the camp, they ALL have time for you, no one goes un-noticed and you come away from talking to whoever,feeling appreciated and of value which makes them the very best of the best.

Hats off to Shep, it shows a level of consideration to the fans, that maybe some don't always appreciate is there.
After hearing the negativity that was being aimed at the show, I must admit I was almost relived that this was the first year since 82 that I could only attend just one show!!!
My doubts soon disappeared and I thoroughly enjoyed the show, I'am still not keen on the covers, but having said that, I don't like seeing covers band at my local pub!!

Well done to Shep and the Crew!

he's a great manager how many relationships work on a handshake these days?

Yet that trust between him and Alice remains, a unique situation in the cut throat world of the music business.

truly great gesture by mister Gordon. He could easily pass us by, after all, we represent only a small number of the fanbase.
I think this should encourage us to do more suggestions !
thanks a lot ! :clap:
