Rob Zombie vs. Alice Cooper – Best Live Band, Round 1

Shock rockers of the world unite! Here's a battle specifically for you, as Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper pair up in this Devil Horn region first round matchup in the battle to find the greatest live act in hard rock and metal.

As fans who have seen Rob Zombie know, he puts on a treat for the eyes as well as the ears. From the stage props to the backdrops to the look of each member onstage, there is something for everyone to take in. But while the visual side is cool, Zombie also has a killer live band with the guitar great John 5, bassist Piggy D and drummer Ginger Fish rounding out his live show.

Alice Cooper, meanwhile, was doing theatrical stage shows back when Zombie was just a young lad. Known for incorporating guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, boa constrictors and sword duels into his performances, Cooper has long been a must-see live performer. But aside from the theatrics, Cooper has smartly kept himself surrounded by stellar players.
