Welcome To Our Nightmare
This 2 CD Alice Cooper Tribute was put out by Triple XXX Records in 1993, which lists 23 groups in all. Some bands you may know, others are underground but all pay great homage to Alice Cooper. Each in their own style which I like rather than bands just copying exactly like the original. If that's the case might as well play an Alice Cooper album right? Well, these bands do an excellent job and pick songs from all periods of Alice Cooper. They start off from the first Cooper album "Pretties For You" to his latest at the time "Trash" album.

Dramarama does a great version of "Reflected" which came from "Pretties For You", Alice's first album. Plus "Levity Ball" is also covered by Wallison Ladmok (featuring Paul Cutler and Don Bolles). I am not surprised that most of the tunes covered are from Alice's early days especially from bands like these who are known to be more off-beat. I think that's why I like the covers from these recordings. Also some the bands range from garage rock, punk, and goth. Three of the major influences Alice Cooper had on these styles.
Flaming Lips cover "Sun Arise" which really isn't an Alice song. Alice did covered on "Love It To Death" album. "Sun Arise" is an old tune written by Rolf Harris and Harry Butler. I think since Flaming Lips are known for their quirkiness I would of loved to hear them do something from "Pretties For You" album. Former Revolting Cocks, Chris Connelly does a great cover of "Desperado".
Tyla formerly of Dogs D'Amour does an acoustic version of "Teenage Lament" which comes across just as sobering. Dutchess De Sade covers one of my favorite New Wave Alice tunes "Pain" from "Flush The Fashion" album. Vandals show their playfulness on "Poison" from the "Trash" album which is so funny as they switch to another song of the same titled "Poison" by R&B Boy band Bel Biv Devoe that made me crack up.

The liner notes were written by Wayne Kramer who played with MC5, a Detroit band that toured with Alice Cooper back in the '70's. Kramer does a good job in giving a little anecdote of first his meeting with the Alice Cooper Group.

Humanary Stew
Produced by Bob Kulick (former Guitarist of Meat Loaf) in 1998. Bob produced a number of Tribute CDs on the Dead Line Music label. Kulick put together a group of well known musicians for this Alice Cooper tribute. Artists as big as Daltrey from The Who and members from Motley Crue, Twisted Sister, Guns n Roses, Megadeth, Dio, etc...

There are some good covers done by these artist. Such as Vince Neil & guitarist Mick Mars of Motley Crue recording "Cold Ethyl" I find surprising since I'm not really a Motley Crue fan. I also enjoyed Twisted Sister, Dee Snider doing "Go To Hell" and to hear Sex Pistol's, Steve Jones with Guns N' Roses, Duff McKagen both singing "Elected" are wise running mates.
As for Daltrey covering "No More Mr. Nice Guy" sort of reminds me of a Vegas act. Maybe Roger is older now. If they asked him 20 years ago he could of pulled it off. Or it could be he's not teamed up with his partner Townshend. I notice even in Daltrey's solo albums his voice isn't as strong. It seems that Pete complements Roger's vocals and pushes him. This is nothing to put down the other musicians that played with Roger on this song. I mean he has a great band with him such as Slash, Mike Inez, and Carmine Appice. I was surprised Slash wasn't on "Only Women Bleed" since he's known to play some of the chords during his Guns N' Roses concert days. Anyway we get to hear Slash play it on "Fistfull Of Alice" live recording with Alice singing it as well.

Thinking Of Alice
In 2001 released by Steve Wensil of The Dead Kings on Scat Boy Records. This tribute CD consist of mostly garage rock bands and is very raw sounding. A lot of these bands are unknown to me but maybe more popular around the North Carolina area I assume since that's where The Dead Kings are known. Also Michael Bruce guest guitarist with Antiseen's version of "Sick Things" that previously came out on Anti-Seen CD. Which I noted in my "Alice Cooper Original Band Solo & Contributing Projects". Also "Levity Ball" is covered by The Frankenstein Drag Queens, who Wednesday 13's later plays in the band called The Murderdolls.
There are quite a few good covers of Alice Cooper. The only ones I'm not crazy about is "I'm Eighteen" which is really a conversation between two people. As one guy is talking about Alice Cooper, the other guy is talking about professional wrestling athletics as an instrumental of "I'm Eighteen" is being played in the background. The other is the ending of "Dead Babies" which Rancid Vat slags on Alice which I don't really get but they do a good version of the song.
I think it's real interesting to hear bands cover Alice Cooper especially bands that are considered underground.

Inside the CD is a letter by Neal Smith, Alice Cooper's original drummer.
