I'd love to see Alice do Chop, Chop, chop! on the current DD tour. I remember how that really whipped the fans up into a frenzy on the UK leg of the Raise Your Fist tour with everyone shouting encouragement till he finally cut the neck of the hooker in the red dress. You know, I hear so many people say this tour was the Coop at his very bloodiest and best, and yet it was never captured visually. Let's just hope the entire film of the rehearsal footage will be made available one day, instead of just the small clips on Prime Cuts. The hanging sequence is unique to Alice Cooper and it's a vital part of the history, and yet so far we only have concerts available on DVD and video that feature the guilletine.

I remember that discussion, and I think that someone was,.....

I would also add that it is possibly too easy to emulate a hanging, which kind of goes 'against the grain' these PC days whereas the Guillotine is not so easy, but still very un-PC!!!.
As for choice; difficult as this album is a quantum leap from my favourites, but if pushed I'd say Freedom.

I voted for Prince Of Darkness, but I have peace with Roses On White Lace also.

Well, it figures that it would be toi, MaurEyes! As you always have such sensible things to say.
Yes, I suppose it's true that it would be harder to emulate the guillotine action at home....as I haven't seen any guillotines at my local Home Depot lately.
