As you'd expect, a lot of the great classics from the 70s are played and this includes wonderful versions of No More Mr. Not only is his voice top-notch but he has a wonderful band and the stage show is classic Cooper. All in all, a good sing along video and I enjoyed it as much as the crowd did back in 1990.Īlice Cooper: Trashes the World (1990) *** 1/2 (out of 4) After a triumph return to the stage in THE NIGHTMARE RETURNS, Alice Cooper's popularity grew even bigger with the album "Trash" and this show, shot in Birmingham, UK, highlights what a great form the legendary singer was in. Something often lacking in live concerts. His backing band are pretty young but do the business and capture the sound of the old songs very well, got the guitar riffs off pat and sound the way the songs do on the albums. And therefore escaped any 'Spinal Tap' gibes over the years. One of the reasons why I did and still do, like Alice so much is that he never took it or himself too seriously like some heavy rock bands did. All very tongue in cheek and in the tradition of an old horror film. Some reasonable stage theatrics as Alice is straight-jacketed, attacked by a street knife gang and finally guillotined. Still the crowd looked as if they throughly enjoyed themselves as they sang along with old favourite, 'School's Out.' Alice mixes songs from his then new album, 'Trash' with past classics, the newer stuff is pretty good but it's still the older ones that garner the biggest applause. Good footage of his stage show if nothing too spectacular as some stadium shows. Well, actually it's Birmingham in the UK, that he semi-trashes in this live concert from 1990.
