Alice Cooper

In August 2013, Alice Cooper took the stage at Wacken Open Air, a festival renowned for its heavy metal roots. Just before this live performance, Cooper had released the album 'Welcome 2 My Nightmare' in 2011, which served as a sequel to his iconic 1975 record. This later album showcased his ability to evolve his theatrical rock style while still delivering that classic Cooper flair—think horror-inspired theatrics and catchy hooks. During the Wacken set, he performed 'Billion Dollar Babies,' one of his most beloved tracks, showcasing his profound impact on both metal and rock genres. Fun fact: Cooper was pioneering a live spectacle long before it became a norm; his shows often included pyrotechnics and elaborate props, making his performance not just a concert, but a full-blown theatrical event.
