The allure of SHOCK ROCK is, has been, and always will be the LIVE component of it; being at the show and viscerally experiencing all of the sights and sounds, in the flesh and in the moment. While many artists do also have lyrical subject matter which might make them eligible for placement in the SHOCK ROCK subgenre (see also “devil stuff”), the primary component to ensure proper “shock rock” cred is the LIVE concert experience, the actual SHOW!
Whether it’s spitting blood, breathing fire, or doing an onstage duet with a boa constrictor, the key to really selling (and properly enjoying) SHOCK ROCK is the actual concert experience itself (because THAT is what sells records…or used to anyway). And what better and more convenient way to illustrate this point than with a brief concert review of the ALICE COOPER/ROB ZOMBIE show that recently came through Atlanta on “Friday The 13th Eve” during the Freaks On Parade tour stop.
“That’s NOT how you eat a chili dog…”
Just remember, “you gotta question, we’ve gotta answer for you”, because we’re like “The Alex Jones of Metal” which means that this show is extremely “professional done”. Fix yourself a “duck sandwich” and prepare for some unexpected (and “unredacted”) Triangle outtakes along with some unbelievably stunning “suddenly science” factoids that you won’t want to miss when you JOIN US as we enjoy Russell’s Reflections (Concert Edition) regarding the ALICE COOPER/ROB ZOMBIE co-headlining show and dig into the unsettling, off-putting, and spine-tingling nature of SHOCK ROCK.
