The ultimate shock rocker, Alice Cooper, is the one who is going to set the airwaves on fire this Halloween season. He is the one who is going to be ‘darker than ever’ for his ‘Monster Bash’ radio show reviving with a new version. The rock icon will choose the assortment he calls ‘chilling classics and haunting anthems’ directly from October 24. The idea is pretty much simple to make the perfect atmosphere for the night of spooky activities. The listeners of the program can only access it through the Sonos Radio app.
This annual event has become a ritual for the fans of the artist’s horrific drama. The singer who cannot be separated from the horror-themed rock and roll through his stage persona is the best option for a Halloween special. His participation will not be restricted to a one-time guest appearance; he is once again taking the power in his hands to pick the songs. This ensures that the playlist is going to be a mirror of the artist’s nonconformist and strong musical taste that will surely not be confined to genres but will be characterized by a spooky, theatrical ambiance.
The artist’s loyal fans were quick to react with immense enthusiasm to the announcement. One user just simply wrote in his comment that the upcoming music broadcast would be an ‘epic night of music,’ and he added a large number of smiling emojis to convey their eagerness. Another fan of the singer associated the event with a line from the 1975 hit song of Cooper, “The him self Alice Cooper it’s a monster mash.”
Scottycamp8 was the one who had the funniest interaction as he joked, ‘Just saw you at the knife store!’ This style of joking and in-character comments is very common on Cooper’s social media; in such instances, the line between the man and his evil alter ego is often blurred for the audience.
Though mostly reactions were congratulatory, there was one that was questioning. ‘Isn’t there any normal radio station that we can listen to it on? I hate apps,’ was what the user wrote. This comment initiated a short but sharp dialogue. Another user immediately responded, ‘But..you write on Instagram..’, pointing out the irony of complaining about being forced to use apps while actively using one. The first user stood his ground and explained, ‘and I guess you don’t understand what I hate apps means,’ referring to a certain dislike for the prevalence of mandatory apps for a simple leisure activity.

This small argument illustrates a more significant trend in media consumption where the digital audience sometimes feels disconnected from the traditional radio audience. Nevertheless, fans overall showed a positive reaction to Cooper’s statement and were more than happy to allow the rock star to be the one to create the atmosphere for their Halloween festivities. Alice Cooper’s Monster Bash will be hauntingly aired on the Sonos Radio app starting October 24. Fans can also look forward to his latest broadcast where he shares more musical insights. Recently, Cooper hilariously nailed a viral trend with his unique style. Additionally, he sold out a limited edition photography collection that celebrated his iconic career.
