On Sunday, rock legend Alice Cooper appeared at the Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, Tennessee, where he treated a crowd of enthusiastic fans to a rendition of Lady Gaga’s 2011 hit Born This Way. This was not the first time he had performed the song, however, as it has become a staple of recent shows, with Cooper appeared two days earlier at Beau Rivage Theater in Biloxi, Mississippi.
Much like last year’s tour, Cooper opened with his 1975 classic The Black Widow and filled his set with many of his best known hits, with only single I’ll Bite Your Face Off representing his last album, Welcome 2 My Nightmare, while the night came to a close with Born This Way.
This is not the first time Cooper has expressed his admiration for the twenty-six-year-old pop singer, having told Associated Press, “Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga is the female Alice Cooper; she created a character named Lady Gaga, she wrote songs for Lady Gaga, not for herself, for Lady Gaga. I write for Alice, I don’t write for me. Then she produced those songs onstage for Lady Gaga. Now there’s a Lady Gaga nation out there.”
