Michael Bruce - Halo
Of Ice
Michael Bruce performs 12 songs he wrote and co-wrote
with the Alice Cooper group. As he travels to Reykjavik, Iceland in
2001 to perform with Stripshow, a popular band in Iceland which has
a pretty awesome guitarist Ingo Geirdal. This was a sort of impromptu
concert since the band rehearsed the songs without Michael. After Michael
arrived in Iceland with a bad cold but after listening to this album
you wouldn't know it. Intro of "Hello Hooray" sounded out
of tune but they quickly seemed to get into the groove as "Under
My Wheels" is being played. Michael also adds a few lines from
Bowie's "Suffragette City". Michael also sings "Halo
Of Flies" with the original lyrics.
I 've heard Michael Bruce perform these hits a number of times before
but this is the best rendition with this backing band. Stripshow musicians
are Ingo Geirdal on guitar, backing vocals, Silli Geirdal on bass and
Egill Rafnsson on drums.
The booklet that comes with this has photos from this
performance and liner notes by the guitarist Ingo Geirdal.
