If you like Alice Cooper, make sure you are in Barcelona on November 23rd to see the pioneer of Shock Rock, present his new album “Along Came a Spider” in Barcelona as part of his Theater of Death Tour. It is a great opportunity, perhaps the last, to enjoy this great spectacle live. The concert will be at the Sant Jordi Club, near the city center, where you can find a wide selection of apartments in Barcelona.
Alice Cooper first got into rock music in 1964. In those days Hard Rock music, sinister-looking makeup and provocative performances had never been seen before in a rock concert. Alice Cooper´s stage shows greatly influenced legendary bands such as Kiss, Zombie and Marilyn Manson. The group´s name apparently sprung out of singer Vincent Damon Furnier´s (Alice Cooper) consultation with a Ouija board, during which he was contacted by a nineteenth century witch named Alice Cooper who told him he was his reincarnation. Vincent proposed to his colleagues that they change the name of the band from The Nazz to Alice Cooper and they agreed. Frank Zappa noticed them and included them in his Straight Records label. Later, Alice Cooper had a career as a solo singer, using the group name as his. During the 70´s he rose to fame thanks to his notorious tours and crazy stage antics. Later, in the late 70´s, his career went into a decline because of problems with alcohol, which even led him to a psychiatric hospital. During this period he released the album “From the Inside.” His revival came in the late 80’s thanks to the success of “Poison”.
Among his most successful tracks are, among others, School´s Out, Billion Dollar Babies, I´m eighteen, and I love the death and Poison. In addition to the spectacular effects and improvisations that made him a rock legend, there is no doubt the star is enjoying every moment of his concerts and engaging with the public. Classic features in his concerts include a nurse being beheaded with a guillotine, lethal injection, and changes in staging, costumes, and crazy makeup.
The ticket prices range from 35 euros to 120 euros for VIP tickets. The Sant Jordi Club hosts events up to 3000 people, and is located in the Passeig Olimpic number 5 next to the Pavilion Barcelona Palau Sant Jordi. It can be accessed either by walking for about 15 minutes from Plaça Espanya to enjoy a nice view, or taking the bus number 50 from Plaça Espanya.
