Menacing stage props and theatrical antics have been par for the course for Alice Cooper since the late '60s. The shock rock pioneer paved the way for Madonna's pop excess, Rob Zombie's horror-movie camp and Lady Gaga's headline-fetching outfits. On his current tour, which comes to Merriweather Post Pavilion on Monday, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer shares billing with the most notorious shock rock persona of the '90s, Marilyn Manson. ¶ "It's the tour that people have been waiting for - the teacher and the mentor, the whole thing," says Cooper, 65. "The two shows work well together, though, it's great. His show is more of a really raw, industrial, dark kind of a show, whereas Alice is much more of a Vaudevillian classic - in some places, it's really scary, and in the next places it's slapstick - and it's pure classic rock."
