Alice

Last night (12th) was the Alice Cooper concert in Limassol – what a cracker!  Mano procured the tickets and doors opened at 1900.  We arrived about 1930 and found a beer and a place at front centre.  Alice is famous for his ‘shock rock’ shows, full of humour horror, executions, fake blood and all sorts of theatricals and tonight was no exception.  They played all the classics, like School’s out, Poison, Halo, No more Mr. nice guy and many more.  Mano and I were deep in the ‘mosh pit’, with all the great sweaty unwashed and needless to say we were very sweaty too by the end of it all, but it was brilliant from start to finish.  My favourite part would have to be when Alice drives a stake through the heart of a mock baby vampire and is then placed in a straight jacket and frogmarched up the scaffold to be hung.  the baby’s mother, played by Cooper’s real life daughter Callico Cooper, throws the lever to open the trap door and drop him!  I’d definitely go see AC perform again given half a chance!  here are a couple of pictures from the event:
