Too Close For Comfort
Last year, Alice Cooper had first confirmed dates for his ‘Too Close For Comfort’ tour.
These shows will also see Cooper support Motley Crue and Def Leppard for several stage gigs, with Nita Strauss also returning to his band.
Despite Strauss’ departure from the band, Cooper insisted that the pair were on good terms, and that the door was always open for Strauss to return to the band.
“I have [a] revolving door kind of policy”, Cooper said. “I told her right up front, ‘You should go [do] this,’ but I said, ‘The door’s always open’ and she came back. There was never any bad blood about stuff like that, and I got to bring Kane Roberts back for a while, which was fun”, Cooper said last year.
Elsewhere, Cooper also spoke about the back catalogue that will be played at these shows.
“Like anything else, we have to do the hits”, Cooper accepts. “The audience wants to hear the hits, so it’s, How do you decorate those hits? How do you put them into a story form or some kind of a new way of looking at the show.” He does promise that “we’ve added two or three new things,” and he holds out the possibility of changes being made during rehearsals”.
“We have a set list … and I know that’s going to change seven or eight times because we’re gonna go, ‘Ah, that song doesn’t go into that song right. Let’s put this song in there and that way it’ll bridge into this next thing”, he added. “And then musically my guys can learn a song in an hour, any song. So we’re good on any front”.
