Halo of Ice - Elegant Crystal Ice Jewelry for Women | Perfect for Parties, Weddings & Special Occasions | Handcrafted Luxury Accessory

I was very hesitant to buy this CD at first. The song clips available on Amazon sounded like they were too fast. But I eventually bought it. The band does a great job of backing Mike. The whole event was a little spur of the moment so they didn't have much time to practice but it still works. It's nice to hear the old Alice Cooper GROUP music played live and up to date the way it should sound. Alice's new musicians versions sound either too sterile or too much like speed metal for my taste. Mike's guitar is much more real sounding or just the right amount of sustain and distortion...He has a good blended sounded on his guitar, that's gritty but not too much.They do Halo of Flies but Mike apparently sings the original lyrics. It sounds like it was a love song. It's disconcerting since I'm so used to the Killer version. I like Alice's lyrics which I think better match the mystical/middle eastern carnival sound than a mundane, pedestrian love song.Also the 2nd guitar player seems to have his guitar perpetually on a wah wah pedal. The wah wah pedal should be used sparingly not on all the time. Other than that the CD is great to listen to. It has a good energy.Michael Bruce one of the original guitarists with the original Alice Cooper Group. These songs are just as much his as they are Alice's; even more so on some since he wrote the music and lyrics for many of them. Others he cowrote with Alice.
