alice on later

Just occasionally the 'Later..' show on BBC2 turn up with something a bit special on a boring Tuesday night and this week the show was gifted a performance by everyone's favourite rock villain Alice Cooper.
Alice has been a regular visitor to these shores for some years now (must be the golf courses) and he played a few gigs earlier in the year. Currently here to do his Halloween Show in London and which is notoriously attended by a pantomime of glorious Halloween costumes to the extent it's very nearly part of London culture by now, he graced the Later show with a full set of mock horror.
The band looked as grungy and outcast as any he's had with the 3 guitar players setting the wall of chords for Alice to rip through two of his classics, Schools Out and Bite Your Face Off.
Like the true rock trooper Alice is, he and his sharp young band simply bit the face off the entire show.
Here's Schools Out opening the show. Bite Your Head Off will be posted as soon as it's available.
