You know what planearm?
I actually gave up on Alice for a couple of tours, kept buying the LPs, but refused to see him live because I reckoned he was past it. This was after the Dragontown tour, which was the exact same stageshow as Brutal Planet apart from two songs. There were three medelys, two extended drum solos and he spent about 45 minutes of the two hour show offstage. Then had the fucking liberty to come back on and do a few fucking star jumps as a "LOOK HOW FIT I AM!" before covering a Who song. I said at the time "Fuck this, I paid to see Alice fucking cooper, not his hired band play instrumentals and then a fucking Who song. If I want to see the Who I'll go see the fucking Who.
Couple of years later I'm at a festival. Crushed down the front to see TWISTED. FUCKING. SISTER. After them I'm going to go to the other stage to watch System Of A Down. TS finish and I'm just about sober enough to realise I'm never going to get from where I am (Smooshed up against the front barrier) to the main stage in time to get a decent view. On comes Alice with his new show.
Fucking LOVED it. And he's had the decency to put on slightly different shows every year since. HUZZAH!
:D
