Question for everyone.Does a rocker's age matter to you? The purpose of this question is because people seem to contradict themselves on this. I remember when Judas Priest new album and tour came out, several people told me they wouldn't buy it because "Those guys are old. It is time to move on." I was surprised by how many people said that or claimed they wouldn't go see them live because their age. Yet, take someone like Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy is no spring chicken (age is a part of life) and frankly has not been a good live singer or performer in years. Yet I rarely hear anyone complain about his age but if bands like the Moody Blues, Deep Purple, etc go on tour or record a new album, some of their longtime fans seem to have stopped supporting them because they are a little long in the tooth. Why is it that some bands/performers get a pass while others don't?

Iron Maiden, who isn't as old as Alice but have been around a long time, are as good as ever as well.
I have seen Alice live 16 times and this year will be my 17th time to see him live. He is as good as ever. I respectfully disagree with your assessment of his albums. While the early and mid 70's were definitely classic. I think Dada, The Last Temptation, and Brutal Planet are three of his best works ever and stuff like Hey Stoopid, The Eyes of Alice Cooper, and Raise Your Fist and Yell were really good too.
