VOTE – Better Co-Headliner: Alice Cooper vs. Judas Priest Sparks Heavy Metal Showdown

It’s a battle of the titans, and the metalheads are not staying silent.

In a move that’s got concert-goers buzzing louder than a Marshall stack at full volume, this summer’s hottest rock tour is turning into a full-blown fan war. The tour in question? The electrifying pairing of Alice Cooper and Judas Priest, two legendary names sharing one epic stage. But now, there’s one question that’s setting social media ablaze:

Who’s the better co-headliner — Alice Cooper or Judas Priest?

Fans are casting votes, slinging guitar picks, and metaphorically throwing devil horns as this friendly rivalry turns into a full-blown popularity contest. It’s stage theatrics vs. sonic aggression. Eye makeup vs. leather and studs. Shock rock vs. British steel.

On one side, you’ve got Alice Cooper — the godfather of shock rock, master of macabre theatrics, and the man who made guillotines, snakes, and fake blood a staple of the stage. Cooper’s been terrifying and thrilling audiences since the ‘70s, and he’s still bringing that horror-show magic night after night. “He’s the ultimate performer,” one fan posted. “Every show is a rock opera.”

On the other hand, we have Judas Priest, the quintessential heavy metal band whose twin guitar assault, leather-clad energy, and the piercing wail of Rob Halford have defined an entire genre. “No band screams metal like Priest,” a headbanger tweeted. “They invented the leather and chains look!”

While some fans are staying diplomatic — calling it a “win for rock fans everywhere” — others are drawing clear lines in the sand (or mosh pit). Polls on fan forums, Twitter, and Facebook groups are racking up thousands of votes, with results swinging back and forth like Halford on a Harley.

Even celebrities are getting in on it. KISS’s Paul Stanley tweeted, “How lucky are fans to see these two legends together? But if I had to pick… I’ve gotta go with the man who brought horror to rock.”

Alice Cooper himself, ever the showman, responded to the drama in classic fashion: “Let the fans decide. I just bring the guillotine.”

So who is the better co-headliner? That’s up to you. Voting is now live across fan sites and radio stations nationwide — and you can bet both Cooper and Priest will be watching. Closely.

One thing’s certain: whether you’re a disciple of darkness or a screamer for steel, this tour is delivering maximum metal mayhem. And no matter who wins the vote, the fans are getting the real prize — one hell of a show.
