Not dead and very much still rocking at the absolute top of his game. Saw him in concert last night in London, at the O2 Arena, the man is an absolute rock 'n' roll legend. 5th time I've seen him now going back a long time, still performing with a verve that guys a third of his age would want. His band pack some serious firepower as well, my head is still spinning this morning.

Loads of bands on the bill, scattered around different stages. Michael Monroe, ex-Hanoi Rocks, gave the most entertaining and hilarious 45 minutes of rock I've seen in a long time. More camp than Camp Bastion, more high kicking than the Moulin Rouge and more dynamic audience incursion than Eric Cantona at Selhurst Park! In the evening, he came and sat in the crowd with everyone else for the Alice Cooper show, accompanied with a huge designer handbag, making Mrs TD very jealous!

The pantomine season started early with the main support act, The Darkness, brought the place down and seemingly fronted up by Austin Powers in his frills. A rock band who never tried to be too serious and all the better for it.
 


He's also a good golfer too x

Golf saved him from an alcoholic early death. A round of golf each day before the evening's gig filled in the time he was otherwise drinking heavily in. A scratch golfer who plays a lot of charity pro-am events.
 
What's not to like about him ?

Born again Christian and right wing Republican? Great tunes though.

I don't think there is anything to suggest he is a right wing Republican. Last night during 'Elected' he had Trump and Clinton characters on stage fighting and scrapping and trying to kill each other and announced "and you think you have problems"!

Same with Iggy Pop.

I've got a lot of time for Cooper as a person. He doesn't take himself seriously and seems to hugely enjoy what ever he does, including all the stuff he did on the Muppet Show !

Top fella.
 
Won a Kerrang award earlier this month for his radio show.

It's a transatlantic programme isn't, broadcast in both UK and USA, no references in it to the time, weather, current news, just music and some chat that can be broadcast anywhere and edited to fit in news bulletins etc

Saw an interview he did with Andrew Denton here in Australia a few years ago, he basically said that he supported the US invasion of Iraq as Saddam and his mates would've all been smoking celebratory cigars after 9/11...this he felt justified the invasion...not quite the stance I'd expect from a rock star!
