CONCERT REVIEW: Judas Priest – Alice Cooper – Corrosion of Conformity Live At The Toyota Amphitheatre

Posted on by

Wheatland, California’s Toyota Amphitheatre is my new favorite outdoor venue. Although this was supposed to be the final bombastic concert of the season, the three-headed beast featuring special guests Corrosion of Conformity (COC), and Co-Headliners Alice Cooper and Judas Priest didn’t deter them from bashing the stage! No doubt, desert rock and classic metal would blend in glorious fashion, I could not wait to capture the evening. The crowd featured mostly classic metal heads, but there were some solid younglings that feasted on what the marquee had on the menu!

ALBUM REVIEW: Alice Cooper – The Revenge of Alice Cooper

Posted on by

The Revenge of Alice Cooper (earMusic) is the first album with the original Alice Cooper band since Muscle of Love. Making it the band’s 8th album together, and Cooper’s 30th. Bob Ezrin is handling production duties to help them remember what they did back in the day. It opens with the lead single “Black Mamba,” which is slinky and theatrical. Rather than try to recapture the fire that was burning when they recorded Muscle of Love, they are side-stepping this favor of touching on a more “Schools Out” style of borderline Broadway-drama mixed with the Garage Rock sound Cooper has been dipping his boots in the past few albums. Continue reading →
