Nita Strauss: metal assault, Alice Cooper interview



The set list on this tour covers a lot of ground with the Alice Cooper catalog. What’s been your favorite songs so far? You’ve been playing the same set every night of the tour, I believe.

We’ve been doing the same set with Motley, yes. Our set opening for them is 50 minutes and our headline set is an hour and 50 minutes, so it’s more than twice as long. We started out with three headline shows. It’s such an honor for a young guitar player like me to stand up there on stage next to a legend like Alice Cooper and play these songs like ‘Ballad Of Dwight Fry’ and ‘Welcome To My Nightmare’, and to be a part of the experiences people have when they hear these iconic songs is just amazing. And then of course you have the fun ones like ‘Feed My Frankenstein’ which I really enjoy playing. Steve Vai is my favorite guitar player and I get to play a Steve Vai solo in that song.
