Just one day after Alice Cooper´s triumphal return at the top of the charts, the legendary rock icon took over the main stage at Wacken Open Air, the biggest metal festival of its kind, where he was greeted by over 80.000 excited fans.
This year´s edition of Wacken was dedicated to the memory of Motorhead´s Lemmy who has been a long-time friend of Cooper. Alice closed his show with a joyful version of Motorhead´s classic “Ace Of Spades”.
When asked to share his memories of Lemmy, during the festival promoter’s press conference, Alice Cooper surprised everybody by offering a donation of 10.000 USD to the Wacken Foundation at one condition: the amount would be spent to give a new talented band the chance to record in a professional studio for the first time, to be one day “the new Alice” or “the new Lemmy”.
Wacken´s founder Thomas Jensen then “relaunched” by promising that he would offer the band the opportunity to play in front of the Wacken´s audience.
