alice coopers albums sound good but live they are so much heavier and better, he puts on such a good show. been to 3 shows now and they are always amazing.
@rustedromeo You too? Kick w show, wasn't it? Nice venue, it was our first time there. If I can only afford one show a year, Umma comin' to see you, Uncle Alice, :-)!!!
We're only human, we were born to die, without the benefit of reason why, we live for pleasure, to be satisfied, and now it's over there's no place to hide!
Natalie Delaney did do backing vocals but Calico was also credited on the track.Phoenix is awesome though isn't it man? I wanted to take my table when we hit Cooperstown! Unfortuately we went Sept 2001. We went back on the 15th to get stuff to take home for the kids the staff were so nice to us. I told Alice and Sheryl that I hoped he gave them a bonus that week when I met them last year! Can't believe my 1st words to him were "man you are so not worthy" My hubby got that award for getting VIP!
SnitchyBoochies the girl on backing vocals for this track was Callico Cooper who has been a huge part in the Alice Cooper shows for years, I first saw her on the Brutal Planet tour in 01 and like her dad she Rocks! This and Dragontown were brilliant albums but I'm sure I read that Welcome 2 my Nightmare is what he is working on now, think the working title was ' the nightshift' or something like that but the Nightmare continues! lol
@Oldmothercath With all due respect it is not Calico on backing vocals. I lived in Phoenix when this came out and Alice on the radio being interviewed said it was a lady who worked at an eyeglasses shop who lived in Phoenix like him. Can't remember her name though.
God this song is awesome,and also kind of forgotten about.Alice needs to bring this back into the set list.This whole album is awesome from start to finish.And the live show from this tour was killer too.
This world is such perfection(oh what a sight)It's just like paradise(for my eyes) a truly grand creation(oh what a sight from up here it looks so nice( for my eyes)
Gotta love the intro, man. I listen to this whenever I'm pissed off, and for some reason it calms me down. It's like the hate/anger in the SONG sucks up MY anger.
But after listening to it I want to punch closest motherfucker in the face, for some reason.
@dragonofblood Not even close. But he did pull off a masterpiece with the entire brutal planet album. He's always been a god at meaningfull lyrics though :P
I love this song, heavy shit, just like its supposed to be :D Cooper kicks ass, like he never actually age, with some luck he will live for all eternity...
Well, only Alice knows. But it's art, and the two contrasting sides make for a good song IMHO. I could see how some people would think the world is just "fabulous," lol. And I can see how other people could see the world as a hell. In the real-world, commercial interests try to make things all nice and pretty so you'll spend your money on useless shit. In the mean-time there are very real problems that are in desperate need of being addressed. I.E. more than 80% of the world lives <$10/day
