Regarding how he chooses the setlist for his concerts, Alice told CityBeat: "It's the hardest thing in the world. It's the same for THE WHO or THE ROLLING STONES or anyone who's been around for 50 years. All of our records are the soundtrack to somebody's life. I hear a STONES song and go, 'Oh, I know what car I had.' But I'm not really thinking, 'Well, Alice, you've been around that long. People will want to hear something from 'Easy Action'.' We can't go that far back, but we do try to find good stage songs that fit this show.
"This show has a storyline in it, so I have to go, 'What's a good stage hook?'" he explained. "A song like 'Generation Landslide' is a great record, with a great lyric, but we've tried it onstage and audiences don't react to it. They give it a nice polite clap. But a song like 'Feed My Frankenstein', that's a stage song."
Cooper added: "Out of the 25 songs we do, 18 to 20 of them are must-dos or the audience will get pissed off. If we leave without 'Under My Wheels' or 'Poison', we'll get killed. We only have about five we can play with there. We fit in a couple from the new album, and there are theatrical bits where I go, you know, 'Roses On White Lace' would be exactly right to get from A to B here,' so we put that in. But then every e-mail is, 'I can't believe you didn't play...' I have to go for pleasing 80% of everybody."
