Concert Review: Alice Cooper/ Rob Zombie MTS Centre, Winnipeg, MB, April 26, 2010 - Page 3

Will Rob Zombie will have career anything approaching the 40-year career that like Alice Cooper has had?  While possibly not to far from retirement, Cooper sings and has variety in his music while much of what Zombie played seemed to sound too much alike.   A few fans agreed with me that, while Rob Zombie puts on a visceral show, full of non-stop "shock and awe," he seems to be like a one-trick pony with few options to grow, musically.  We could be wrong. Rest assured, however, the majority of the fans who showed up were there clearly for Zombie and I would recommend the spectacle for anyone who is even remotely thinking of seeing him.  While I might hesitate to see Zombie headline a second time, I would not hesitate to for even a second to snap up tickets to see Alice Cooper headline or open, again.

My rating for this show is 3.5/5

    I thought Alice was awesome. He still sounds like Alice and the energy he possesses his amazing. Alice still puts out some solid albums as well.
