Goes To Hell Timeline

Timeline 10 - Go To Hell

Originally, an entire tour was booked to promote the 'Goes To Hell' album, but just as Alice was about to hit the road, he came down with anemia [Seagram's VO - Renfield, Sept. 1996] and was under a doctor's care. Thus the tour was canceled

The Alice Cooper Goes To Hell tour (which was canceled), was to be a production where Hell was a disco because disco is hell. I recall him saying the set was built on several levels.
