    I love how much she's done and how far she's come. From The Iron Maidens to Alice Cooper. A beautiful talented woman who can play guitar better than I even will.

    Once a fan talked in a discussion: " I really would like to look like Nikki Sixx but play Bass like Steve Harris. But unfortunetaly I look like Steve Harris and play Bass like Nikki Six." That's life ;)

    I attend a guitar club in college and it has alot of girls. They all play acoustic which is fine but when I brought my Flying V and little Fender amp they all wanted to play it. I then showed them videos of Nita and Orianthi playing. Put it this way, 4 electric guitars and amps were bought that week. Nita kicks ass !

    Yesterday I heard Nita Strauss for the first time in my life. It was so magic to see and hear her playing guitar. I told my friend, who introduced me to listening to Nita, that this guitarist is such a brilliant genius. She has an extraordinary beautiful tune, and I like to put her on the same level as Steve Vai and Jason Becker.
    Now after spending 20 hours on RUclips, watching different videos with Nita Strauss, I have found that Steve Vai and Jason Becker are two of her guitar heroes, and Nita is playing guitar just as brilliant as her guitar heroes. So dear Nita, I'm looking forward to hear moore from you. A new guitar hereo of major importance is born, and her name is Nita Strauss.

    U were all over that stage! Myself being a guitarist for a long time am in awe of you.

    I got to say this type of show is long overdue. I listen to Sixx sense at work and stuff, and I always thought Nikki could or would do something cool outside the regular format, and , prayers answered, what a cool show, I just happened on it today, don't know how long it's been going on, coolest show on earth right now for me. I play guitar, boy, I love talking about the actual music stuff, the real nuts and bolts that make some great songs, by the people who created them, that's awesome. I've always loved rock, metal, I mean I get into into it all, jazz, funk, country, but it was the early rock as a youngster that made me want to do music, I'm an analog guy like y'all, Zep, Aerosmith,Alice, The Sweet, Grand Funk, Cream Ozzy , Motley, Tull, BTO, KISS, Van Halen , Frampton, Deep Purple, ACDC.......etc. blah blah I could go on and on, Stones, Beatles, S, I santana.... There's so much to cover and I hope this show goes on forever, right on Nikki thank you, yeah , talk about real theory, real "tapping" , heavy riffs, bass stuff, I love bass, I'm a guitarist, but lately I want to play bass, most important instrument, solo lines the whole way through that help define the song in strong ways, yep, love to hear about bass stuff to

    I think Nita was an EXCELLENT choice of guitarist for the Alice Cooper band. Obviously Glen Buxton (RIP) was my favorite Alice guitarist, but Nita has probably bested Kane Roberts (who I thought was excellent when with Alice). She is impressive and very skillful, and someone who can play in the style of the original when needed, but adds her flair too - THREE thumbs up to Nita!
    PS I also think it's cool that her last name is "Strauss" - being a musician ;-)

    Aaah ... I must , mention three names that set SO MANY trends in rock music...... Glen Buxton , Michael Bruce and Dick Wagner the first guitarist for Alice Cooper . Dennis Dunaway the bass player HEAVILY influenced the band and Neil Smith was an exceptionally talented drummer who really made the Billion Dollar Babies album THUNDER ! These guys not only played some of the greatest and well known riffs in hard rock music ( The Alice Cooper Band and Dick later ) . They were responsible for the eerie detuned sound that MADE Alice Cooper what it was . Killer , Love it to Death , School's Out , BILLION DOLLAR BABIES ( one of the greatest hard rock albums of all time ! ) are albums that should be the first thing you see when you enter the rock n' roll hall of ( gag ... puke ) fame . Too bad so many kids start with Alice's 80's albums and never realize just how ground breaking , controversial and hard core those first albums really were . This was the mediocre Brady Bunch seventies and the Alice Cooper Band set it on fire and stabbed it in the heart ! PK
