During his show at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles Sunday night (August 12), Alice Cooper was joined by his former guitarist, Orianthi, for a rollicking rendition of his classic hit, "School's Out." You can watch fan-filmed footage of the performance above.
During the performance, Orianthi shared the spotlight with Cooper's current guitarist, Nita Strauss, who took the role after the former's departure in 2014.
In a 2015 interview with Guitar Player's "No Guitar Is Safe" podcast, Strauss said that not all Cooper fans were thrilled when she first joined the band.
"Somebody was wearing an Orianthi t-shirt at [a] meet-and-greet and they said mean stuff to me, " Strauss said. "People say mean stuff to me all the time, 'cause Orianthi fans hate me. She is lovely, and a great player, but we have such disparate styles that the fanbase doesn't cross over. A lot of it does, and a lot of it doesn't."
