"Nita Strauss rocks Alice Cooper's 'Eighteen' and 'Cowboys From Hell' at her wedding reception in newly posted videos"
Nita Strauss rocked her heavy metal dream wedding last year, a black-and-sparkly celebration matched only by the glamorous goth-chic of her solo band drummer, Josh Villata. This electric guitar virtuoso and her husband-to-be exchanged vows in a Haute Dracula-themed ceremony, complete with a rocking band lineup to make it an unforgettable party.
The all-star music ensemble delivered Metallica, Pantera, and Alice Cooper classics during the big day. But you already know it wouldn't be a typical wedding for the electric guitar devotee Strauss. As Alice Cooper's former guitar foil, Strauss lived up to her reputation by joining forces with the Godfather of shock rock himself, Cooper, for a memorable performance of I'm Eighteen.
Celebrating with Disturbed's vocalist David Draiman, Demi Lovato, and WWE's Mick Foley, the couple surrounded themselves with star-studded friends. Disturbed-laced versions of Cowboys From Hell and Enter Sandman brought down the house, thanks to Draiman and bassist John Moyer joining Johnny Young, another guitarist in Strauss' solo band, for the performance.
Jamming sessions didn't stop there. The newlyweds offered guests the chance to join in with a live band karaoke featuring songs like I'm Eighteen, Enter Sandman, and Cowboys From Hell. Josh Villalta shared clips on Instagram, including one of Strauss playing an Ibanez guitar alongside Alice Cooper, dressed head-to-toe in glossy black.
Strauss and Villata didn't settle for a run-of-the-mill wedding experience – they wanted their special day to be a reflection of their shared love for heavy metal. Metallica, Pantera, and Alice Cooper covers filled the air as they tied the knot, promising a unique and unforgettable celebration for all in attendance.
