What songs would you like to hear Alice Cooper do live?

I saw The Monkess in 2011, sans Nesmith, of course, and they played for almost 2 hours. They played all the songs you'd expect to hear, but the also went really deep. They played a lot of deeper cuts that I was not expecting, but was very pleased with as so much of their stuff is excellent but rarely heard. They even did a whole chunk from Head, which, though I wasn't alive at the time, I understand was not a huge success for them.

So, Alice, the 6 or 7 times I've seen him, usually does a good job of playing a lot of his staple tunes for the casual crowd, with some other songs that were not exactly hits, but are staples in his cataloh. He'll throw in a tune or two from his newest album, and maybe a song from the last album or two. And then he has always thrown in at least one deeper cut that I haven't heard him play live any other time.

For his current tour, I've seen "House of Fire" and "He's Back" on setlists. I am hoping he plays one or both of these when I see him in October. That era is a favorite of mine, as I got into him then, but it is also, overall, not one he seems to revisit much, aside from "Poison", of course.

So those two songs are at the top of my list for wanting to see live. I'd really love anything from Constrictor or Raise Your Fist and Yell. I'd also love to hear "Clones" live, or again, anything from "Flush the Fashion."

Any tunes that you'd like to hear that aren't exactly staples of his setlist?

I've only seen him once, and he did all of the classic Staples. I'd like to hear a good number of the songs from trash. And Brutal Planet.

Yeah, I'd be into any of the songs from Trash. The first time I saw him, he did the song "Trash", and a couple from Brutal Planet.

'Who Do We Are' or 'Tag You're It' would be fun.

I am going to see the Coop on Oct 28 so it should be a fun show

I'd just be happy to see him live.   I really need to rectify that before he drops dead. He's like 103, isn't he?

Well, that depends on whether you see him in the moonlight or not.  He's only like 88.   

I would love to hear these two songs live, he didn't do them when I saw him:

I saw him do that once. I got pretty stoked. I'm a big fan of the 4 early 80s records, so I love when he does anything from them.

"Tag" or anything else from Zipper would be cool, for sure.

That is an ideal setlist if I ever heard one.

On a non-related note, someone, please tell the goons at Metal Archives to add Alice Cooper. His farts are more metal than all of the moderators on that site, combined!
