    Nita is a pro. Pros get the choice gigs. Shows up, does the job, brings no drama. Being gorgeous helps - to a point. Gotta have substance.

    Alice Cooper made a genius move keeping his band young with this level talent. I saw them last year at Cynthia Woods Pavilion, Houston. Strauss was on fire.
  • @ogdooh
    Love her laugh and smile, and seems like a very genuine and honest person as well! Not fake as so many others can be in those situations. Definitely not a poser.

    Nita being discovered by Kip Winger!!! That’s totally awesome!!!! He’s such a down to earth guy too. I love the fact that she over played her audition first. Shows how humble we all can become.

    Got the pleasure of seeing her live with Alice in Nashville and she was amazing. Nita Strauss can flat out play.
  • Nita's stage energy is absolutely overwhelming - Alice Cooper got lucky catching her ...
  • She's very entertaining to watch on every aspect. Talent, Beauty, Brains. She brings it every night professionally, and Theatrically. A perfect fit for the Alice Cooper Band.

    I spent my birthday watching Alice Cooper and Nita Strauss performing in Cincinnati! Absolutely amazing!
  • She is one truly amazing guitarist. 2 or 3 weeks to learn all the music shows her skill level... bad ass!!
  • @Shewolfen
    she seems really down to earth and nice, happy for her success.

    I am admittedly a huge Dave Matthews, Dead, jam band fan. My GF "dragged" me to see Alice Cooper this past Wednesday. I was freakin blown away by Nita's performance and I'm afraid to say it, but damn I'm a fan now!!!
  • @TheBenzer9
    Watched her in Dublin two days ago, absolutely fantastic, super gig, all the band included, one of the best gigs ever :)
  • She is right- no one can outperform her, this woman is the most amazing musician I have ever seen. And so sweet to boot!! I met her after a concert one night and will treasure those memories forever!!
  • @ericsparks
    I love her energy and positivity. I seen her in Louisville on her Controlled Chaos tour and she genuinely has heart for what she does.

    I had the pleasure of seeing and meeting this amazing guitarist when she was with the iron maidens. What an amazing player!
