2002, Halo Of Ice, Michael Bruce CD

2002 CD
Halo Of Ice 
Michael Bruce

Michael Bruce performs 12 songs he wrote and co-wrote with Alice Cooper. Recorded in 2001 in Reykjavik, Iceland, Michael Bruce performs with Stripshow, a popular band in Iceland that has an outstanding guitarist named Ingo Geirdal. This was a sort of impromptu concert since the band rehearsed the songs without Michael. After Bruce arrived in Iceland with a bad cold but after listening to this album you wouldn’t know it. Intro of “Hello Hooray” sounded out of tune but they quickly seemed to get into the groove as “Under My Wheels” is being played. Michael also adds a few lines from Bowie’s “Suffragette City”. Michael also sings “Halo Of Flies” with the original lyrics.

I ‘ve heard Michael Bruce perform these hits a number of times before but this is the best rendition with this backing band. Stripshow amazing musicians are Ingo Geirdal on guitar, backing vocals, Silli Geirdal on bass and Egill Rafnsson on drums. 


The booklet that comes with this has photos from this performance and liner notes 
by guitarist Ingo Geirdal.
