Alice 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. Not only is his voice top-notch but he has a wonderful band and the stage show is classic Cooper.
As you'd expect, a lot of the great classics from the 70s are played and this includes wonderful versions of No More Mr. Nice Guy, I'm Eighteen, Under My Wheels, Only Women Bleed, Welcome to My Nightmare, School's Out as well as stuff like Steven and Muscle of Love. Considering how popular the (then) current album was we also have tracks like Poison, Bed of Nails, House of Fire, Spark in the Dark, This Maniac's in Love With You and the title track.
Again, Cooper's voice is flawless throughout as he perfectly fit in with the heavy metal scene of that period. The band is also excellent as the new songs sound terrific and they bring the older stuff more up-to-date as well without changing their form. The stage show has all sorts of goodies and especially when it comes time for Alice Cooper to rise and fall. If you're a fan of Cooper then this is certainly a must see.
