So how do you guys think Alice should
Make his appearance for the coming tour?
I think it would be cool to have him break out
Off a full lenghth Mirror during maybe Go to Hell

Maybe im generic or old school, but i would just love to see him come out on a new nightmare bed

Magic curtain!

Extend the Nightmare Returns track and combine it with Years Ago while Alice is sleeping on a nightmare bed with spikes. Have a backdrop like he had for the psychodrama tour so we can see his body on the bed and the bed turning and once the track stops, have the backdrop fall while some thunder comes crashing down. But before the backdrop falls, show a shadow of Alice waking up from the Nightmare. Then he can have Welcome to my Nightmare play. After that, they can play I am Made of You. That would be epic.

Leave it to him ..I think he has amazing intros the recent years.Maybe the choise of the song could make it even more thrilling !

>Magic curtain!

The correct term is 'screen', as I'm sure you know.

Yup that's the one Andy, I blame my cat who was poking his head through the curtains as I posted!

I always thought that an extended version of TITANIC OVERTURE is a KILLER intro to open a show.

I cant help but think The Congregation is a nailed on entrance after The Nightmare returns intro.

The Congregation HAS to be an opener.

It would be great to see that one opening. The Nightmare returns is the obvious choice to me... no way he does different.
Hopefully we'll see it next year.
The intro I liked the most was the Dragontown one...

even though it closes the album The Underture would be an excellent way to start a new show with visuals on a magic screen and the band in front and as the last note resonates Alice bursts through and onstage launching into Caffeine with giant coffee cup dancers in the style of the Madhouse Rock intro before falling asleep into the Nightmare and I Am Made Of You mixing the new Nightmare with the Old and the classics, can see and hear it now

Not an intro...but I think DBBF would make for some hilarious visuals if the magic screen were being used.

I don't know about coffee cup dancers sounds kinda silly and definetely sounds like something Alice wouldn't do? Don't you think? C'mon Alice is more creative than that!!
I like the idea you had with "The Underture" opening the show but how bout this, have Alice appear from behind the magic screen and then have the magic screen be glass(fake glass of course) and have him burst from the glass like breaking free from the nightmare. How's that idea?

I'd like to see the magic screen used, never having seen it before. I'd be partial to most things I think, except for another "curtain drop" intro. Also like the idea of using the Underture at the beginning.

Some of Alice's best props are the simple, cheesy, over-the-top ones.

I don't know man, I think dancing cofee cups would be more then a little much lol personally I would like to see something less cheesy with a bigger more nightmare like production. i like the idea of the bed, th screen, maybe a spooky staircase and things like that

This is exactly what I was thinking today. Underture could play before the band comes out or the "curtain drop" if that is what is done.

I think for the new tour Ubangi Stomp should be blasted out over the PA while a cannon is rolled out on stage and Alice is shot out of the cannon only its not Alice its a dummy and it just flops out the end of the cannon.....

What about a modern revision of The Awakening? Watching the Nightmare Tour DVD still looks wicked to this day.
