Sid's Sexy House of Doom 

Alice to perform with the kids...

According to Philly.com Alice will be performing at the Sundance Film Festival later this month in relation to the film about the Rock school mentioned a further down this page. The festival runs between January 20th-30th in Park City, Utah. I can`t find a specific date for Alice`s appearance so if anyone finds anything give me a shout. As he`s scheduled to be at the Bob Hope Classic for the first part of this period, and then at the PGA Show on the 29th (likely date) tyhat really only leaves a few days between the two for this to happen. More info on the real "School Of Rock" can be found here

Newcastle appears on Ticketmaster

Ticketmaster seems to be having some strange problems. The Newcastle show mentioned below IS up there but you won't find it using a search for either "Alice Cooper" or anything else at thier site. Instead, go to http://www2.ticketmaster.co.uk, then click "rock & pop", and look a little way down the list. You'll find all three shows we've reported listed including Newcastle on 13th November with an 'on sale' date of 21st January.

Last Nights Xmas Pudding

Thanks to Mistershivers on the message baord fro this report of last nights fun and games: Just got back from the show. 4 1/2 hours that went by pretty quick. High lights were Dan Quayle front row center for the show. He left after intermission. Cheap Trick closed out part 1 and was backed by Alices band, Alice said that he practiced with the band doing the vocals during the week. They did "I want you to want me", "California man" and "Surrender". Gin Blossoms did a nice set of 3 and Roger Clyne and the peacemakers did a nice set. Glen Cambell did "Rhinestone Cowboy" and "Little drummer boy" on the bagpipes.Sinbad was funny as were most of the comedians.Sinbad introduced Nugent who did 2 songs "Klstrphnky" and "Wang dang sweet poontang" with his touring drummer and Alices bassist then had Jack Blades come out for "Cat Scratch Fever". He then brought out Shaw and Cartellone for 3 more Damn Yankees songs. These guys were hot and on the money. They did "Dont tread on me", "High enough" and "Coming of age". Funny bit where Shaw and Blades did a countryfied Eighteen on acoustic guitar which Nugent grabbed then smashed on stage. Alices set was "No more mr nice guy", "Eighteen", "Be My Lover" and "Schools out". Damn Yankees joined Alices band with Glen Campbell for a smoking "Run Rudolph Run" which featured solos from everyone and A few others joined in on Jingle bells as the finale. Pudding was chocolate and the show opened with some guy in a medival outfit and mask doing bells which were set up on this huge contraption. The other guests were locals and were pretty good but it was the Damn Yankees night. Hard to believe how good the harmonys and all were. Jessi Colter(Waylon Jennings wife) did a couple of nice songs including a cool bluesy version of Silent Night.They handed some magazine called Risen out pre show that had this pro christian interview of Alice. Some of it was weird because Alice said some stuff that was off the mark in the interview. Worth the money and it was time well spent. Emcees were Mike Wilson, Mark Cordes,and Danny Zelisko.
