Title: Short trip to Birmingham
Post by: hawkvtx on May 10, 2017, 04:34:13 PM
Not much of a ride report to speak of but I wanted to share a little about this. Alice Cooper's band played a small gig at the Nick in Birmingham Monday May 1 prior to the main show that was the following night. So I took the bike a left work a little early and hightailed it down there. I had met a couple of the guys before but I really wanted to meet the newest member of Alice's band, Hurricane Nita Strauss. Hands down the hottest chic in Rock today and a hell of a guitar player. Nita brings an energy and exuberance to the show that is infectious. Not to mention that she is one of the sweetest young ladies you would ever want to meet. She took pictures and signed stuff including a couple of guitars that some guys brought to the gig. The other guys were just as gracious and made a great night for the folks in attendance.
Here's a few pics.

The surprise of the night was when Phil Collen of Def Leppard showed up and finished out the set with them.

That's awesome. Although Everytime I've left The Nick, I swore I'd never go back, Alice Cooper puts on a helluva show. Saw him on Motley Crues farewell tour. Amazing show!! I am very jealous of that experience.
