The Steinkjer Festival with Astrid- for the first time - was a cold experience. Only a few plussdegrees and a cold north wind was blowing and within ten end of the night we were frozen to the bone.

First vi entered the NVE-stage and listen to some blues/rock. Big Rooney and the Doghouse was one of the bands. Musickwise OK, but I was not impressed by the vocals.
Vi orket ikke høre på Samsaya (ikke helt min stil) så vi gikk til hovedscenen først når Tre Små Kinesere gikk på scenen. Dette er et lokalt band som spiller helt ok øreguff.
We did not hear Samsaya (not quite my kind of music) so we went to the main stage when Tre små kinesere (Three little chinese's) This is a local band that playes ok easy listening music


Musikkmessig var dette rå rock, og imponerende bra og veldig energisk.
The swedish band Lillasyster went on stage. I was curious about them, the only thing I have heard of them was their cover of Umbrella, which actually restored my faith in that song. As long as I do not need to hear it from Rihanna. The lead vocalist had a real bad back, he was tourmented by strong pains throughout the concerts, but still wanted to follow it through. That was just amazing. He earned my respect.
Musicwise this was raw rock, impressing and energetic.

Endelig så gikk kveldens store stjerne på scenen, og et 2 timer lagt sceneshow stod for tur. Et show hvor Alice skulle bli "drept" hele 4 ganger. Både halshugd, giftsprøyte, hengt og innesteng i et jernkammer gjennomboret av stålspyd.
Finally the evenings biggest star went on stage, and a 2 hour long show was ahead of us. A show where Alice Cooper gets killed 4 times. He is decapitated, given a lethal injection, hanged and penetraited with steal spears in a cabinet.
Man kan jo ikke bli annet enn fornøyd med Alice Cooper som showman, konserten var, på godt norsk, DRITBRA!!! Med Damon Johnsen og Keri Kelli energisk på gitar ble dette en kjempeopplevelse, selv om det var kaldt.

You cannot be anything else than satisfied with Alice Cooper as a showman. The concert was GREAT!!! With Damon Johnsen and Keri Kelly on energetic guitars this was a great experience, even though it was cold.

Adresseavisen's review
Alice Cooper want to be Elected in Norway
Når vi kom tilbake på hotellet utpå natta, trodde vi ikke våre egne øyne når Keri Kelly pluteselig stod i resepsjonen. Jeg spurte pent om et bilde. En gammel kollega tok bildet for meg.






When we arrived the hotel sometime late that night we could not believe our own eyes when we say Keri kelly in the reception. I asked him politely for a picture. A old colleague took the picture for me
Just after Keri left the reception, Damon Johnsen showed up. I was quick when I asked him for a picture too.
