Alice Cooper Rockin' Bonnaroo Music Festival

Alice Cooper

On Saturday June 9th, 2012 in “That Tent” at Bonnaroo Music Festival saw a performance by none other than 70’s and 80’s metal icon Alice Cooper. This show was yet another contribution to Bonnaroo’s recent theme of hosting nostalgic rock performances from the past thirty years. The crowd was a testament to this, consisting mostly of the older portion of the Bonnaroo attendees. Despite this being his sixth decade being a musical performer, Cooper and his band gave a high energy performance that was surprisingly entertaining. The foggy backdrop on the stage matched the costumes that Cooper and his cronies were wearing; they looked as if they came straight out of an 80’s hair-band music video from a cheesy horror movie.

Soulfly Concert Review & Photos

 Soulfly,
Incite, Lody Kong, Wykked Wytch, Mine enemies fall, Headcase concert report.

The Intersection, Grand Rapids, Michigan, April 23, 2012.

Interviews
Soulfly’s Marc Rizzo: He was nice enough to let my son and I both interview him while relaxed before the concert.  He mentioned to my son that he needs to keep playing guitar and get a band together. 

His main influences was and guitarists that are greats like  Joe Satriani, Jason Becker, Yngwie Malmsteen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Hendrix and many more.

Usually when creating music the riffs are made first then the lyrics.  Each person adds their input on making songs.

My son and I feel he is a shredd legend just like his influences and I’m sure there are many of metal shredd heads out there that say Marc Rizzo is one of there influences.
