[The_Return]

Just got back from my 2nd Alice Cooper show...easily my favourite artist of all time, and there is NOTHING like seeing him live. PLUS we had front row seats, which makes it a million times more intense - close enough to see his makeup start to run :cool:

Nobody can put on a show like that man, it's just beyond description. I was a little disappointed that he didn't do I Never Cry this time, but the rest of the show was more than enough to make me forget all about it.

Some highlights:

- He sang a verse of Woman of Mass Distraction directly to my girlfriend.

- He threw "diamond" (hah) necklaces into the crowd during Dirty Diamonds, and we caught one.

- One of his guitarists got pissed at me 'cause I was taking pics of Alice and not him...he made faces and upset hand gestures at me the whole show.

- I'm Eighteen. I dont care if he's closer to 80 these days, this is probably his best song live. Just...damn!

His opening act surprised me too - Vancouver band called Econoline Crush. Hadn't heard of 'em before, but they rocked; I was super impressed. Their frontman was a lunatic, great showman for sure. Obviously picked up a little bit from ol' Alice.

Just a great, great show all around. The man is always touring - if you get a chance to see him, DO IT. I'm sure a bunch of you have already at some point, but if you haven't...it's an experience like no other.
