“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense”: this phrase from a certain Disney film perfectly summarizes the gist of pairing JUDAS PRIEST and Alice Cooper, two purveyors of bitter pills and sweet riffs. The former always seemed to embody no-nonsense heavy metal while preparing fantasies frilly enough to make multitudes embrace the freewheel-burning philosophy; the latter welcomed millions into his dungeon of nightmares while regularly discarding absurdity in favor of reality-haunted truth. The last time the listeners enjoyed this coupling onstage during “Operation Rock & Roll Tour” back in 1991, but about three decades further on down the line, a lot of things changed – yet a lot stayed the same, too.
