A Brief History Of Masks In Heavy Music

Image has always been a pivotal aspect of heavy music. Dark, creepy sounds are captivating in themselves, sure, but they just don’t hit as hard when the performers are indistinguishable from Steve in accounts or Sue in human resources. Rock and metal artists have done much to make themselves larger than life over the years: growing hair out, donning studded denim and leather, tattooing every imaginable space, daubing bodies in blood red and death white… Alice Cooper and KISS became different animals when they opened the make-up box. Hell, even the lo-fi outsiders of Norwegian black metal only truly transformed themselves from angry young men to heretical demons when they tapped into the corpsepaint.

Live from the.. -CD+Blry-

CD + Blu-ray. By 1974, the Alice Cooper group had risen to the upper echelon of rock stardom... and then, parted ways. In October 2015, over 40 years later, record store owner and superfan Chris Penn convinced the original line-up to reunite for a very special performance at his record store Good Records in Dallas, Texas. Alice Cooper (vocals), Michael Bruce (guitar), Dennis Dunaway (bass) and Neal Smith (drums) were joined on stage by Alice's current guitarist Ryan Roxie (standing in for the late Glen Buxton). A packed audience, believing they had come to Good Records for Dennis Dunaway's 'Snakes! Guillotines! Electric Chairs!' book signing, were surprised to bear witness to a full-blown happening. The historic reunion show including all-time classics such as "No More Mr. Nice Guy", "I'm Eighteen" and "School's Out" is now becoming available for the very first time worldwide. Luckily the event was documented. "Live From The Astroturf, Alice Cooper" (edited and directed by Steven Gaddis) toured the world to the acclaim of music fans and rock journalists alike. The documentary won multiple awards for it's coverage of the historic event. Now all Alice Cooper fans and rock music lovers across the globe can enjoy this movie as it's included as a video bonus to this live album. Pop the popcorn, blow up the balloons, dim the lights, and crank it up!
