Hollywood Vampires - Milwaukee

[damiennalice]

I just experienced my strangest Alice Cooper live on stage performance.

It is strange to see Alice Cooper:

1) Not wear make up of any kind during a live performance.
2) Play harmonica during a live performance.
3) Perform "I'm Eighteen" w/o using a crutch as a prop.
4) See him sing a song I've only heard him sing on the album Special Forces.
5) Introduce other members playing in the band and have them get greater applause than himself.

That aside, I enjoyed the show and the crowd surely had a great time as well.

Sounds awesome,not really a HV fan and its wired as hell when Alice has no make-up on and why is he using a crutch as prop for I'm eighteen

Hollywood Vampires album has a surprisingly high rating on amazon.com 4.6 stars. Actually it has the highest rating of any Alice Cooper related studio release since Brutal Planet and I personally don't understand why. Not many here are crazy about it either. Personally I think it is the worst album Alice Cooper has been involved since Special Forces and in some ways it is even worse. I have listened to it through only twice.

I am glad some people enjoy it. And if it makes Alice Cooper happy to perform cover songs for change and playing with different musicians, so be it. But I certainly found it to be a very wise move to not release this album under the Alice Cooper banner. I just hope Alice feels creatively re-energized and refreshed after this transition phase (for a lack of better word) and comes up with both a very good new solo album and a very good new Hollywood Vampires record. I am at least pleased to know that current plan is to make the next Hollywood Vampires album of mostly original material.

The photographs from that concert show that he did.

I'm pretty sure Alice went without make-up for the majority of the live show during the "Trashes The World" tour.

I think he also went without make-up in ALL of the videos made for that album, along with all of the promotional materials for that album.

I think most of the press stuff for Hey Stoopid was also done without the make-up.

I think the make-up reappeared with The Last Temptation when Alice once again became Alice and thankfully drove a stake through the heart of his hair metal incarnation.

The OnMilwaukee review w/ pics had not been published as of my posting. From my vantage point (far back in the venue)and occasionally viewing a video screen I could see no make up being worn.I could see from the vid screen,however, the "bite marks" on his neck (along w/ a "blood mark" on his shirt on his lower right side). I stand corrected.
