The Telegram reports that anyone who's ever seen ALICE COOPER perform live will be expecting snakes, spiders, straitjackets, skulls and a truckload of other props when the "legend of shock rock" brings his Psycho Drama Tour to Mile One Centre in St. John's Oct. 21, and Corner Brook the following day.

According to Cooper, they won't leave disappointed.

"I always come with a show - that's what I've done for 40 years and I'm never going to change that," Cooper says during a recent telephone interview.

The show will include 28 hits, including 'Billion Dollar Babies', 'Welcome To My Nightmare', 'No More Mr. Nice Guy', 'I'm 18', and 'School's Out'.

When asked how, at age 60, he manages to perform "I'm 18" as if he really was," Cooper says, "It's been the only job I've ever had in my whole life."

And, he adds, he's in better shape today than he was decades ago.

"At 30 I was a mess. At 60, I feel really good."

At any rate, it's the character, Alice, who performs and not the man born Vincent Furnier on Feb. 4, 1948 in Detroit, Mich.

And Alice is ageless.

"I don't know how old Alice is but when Alice is doing '18,' he's 18. When Alice is doing 'School's Out,' he's probably 12."
