🎵 Alice Cooper - No More Mr. Nice Guy REACTION

[@mvellis3863]

Alice Cooper is a legend, and I've seen many of his shows starting with his "Welcome To My Nightmare" tour in the 70's. Even though his stage persona is the quintessential bad guy, he is a devout Christian and the nicest guy you could meet (he credits Jesus for saving him from dying from alcoholism, and being faithful to his wife of 40 years). He does a lot for charity and has established urban centers for young disadvantaged kids to learn music and to help them stay out of trouble. Alice is the man!!!!

[@danwilliams5867]

You saw the guillotine trick he did too? I was like totally freaked when I saw it

[@brettkenschaft4239]

I hear he's a better than average golfer too!

[@stanleymyrick4068]

And he is still touring. That is amazing. Draws some great musicians to play with him.

[@fasteddie777666]

Vincent Furnier's ( Alice Cooper) father was a Minister in Detroit and Arizona !!!

[@tomfabozzi6309]

The nice thing about him, though, is he is a GENUINELY nice and kind man. He doesn't beat you over the head with his faith. and he's been very good to younger musicians who are anything but Christian!

[@LynnThompsonAuthor]

Fun story: I sing in the choir at my church, and was really surprised when our youth minister posted something on a Sunday afternoon that said, "Who noticed Alice Cooper sitting in the congregation today?" :-o He was doing a concert that night in town, and attended our church that morning! Looked like any other person. So I've sung for Alice Cooper, without even realizing it!

[@malclee6246]

I used to go round with the collection box at my , I wonder how much Vince would put in!!😁❤️

[@malclee6246]

The missing word is church!

[@ffjsb]

@@malclee6246 Glad you clarified that...

[@ffjsb]

Yep, Alice is a conservative Christian, and from what I hear a really nice guy. Doesn't do the drugs and alcohol that he used to way back in the day. But he can still rock.

[@robertflippin9112]

Thats cool .hope you did your best.

[@julioguardado]

I saw Alice live in the 70's during his Welcome to my Nightmare tour. School's Out, Eighteen, and Elected are worth checking out.

[@unholydriver4987]

I'm a bit tired of School's Out, but I'm Eighteen and Elected are two bangers! Of course, the whole Welcome to My Nightmare album is great.

[@p.j.d.8199]

I saw him a year ago and not only did he sound great but the theatrics were awesome, his wife and he were moving around the stage like they were 20 yrs old, amazing

[@stevedavis5704]

For a fun time if you can find it give his radio show Alice At Night a listen. It’s a fun time with good music and stories from someone who was there and lived to tell the story.

[@CalicoCooperFan]

@@p.j.d.8199 He is in his prime at 73. (He will be 74 in 2 days)

[@naytonestew7202]

Strange but true: Alice Cooper writes great slow songs. "Only women bleed" is a classic.

[@cooperstonebadge2228]

ballad of dwight fry

[@kitty5964]

its not about what u think......beautiful song my fav. hope they play it......makes me😂😺

[@zzz7zzz9]

women are the toughest creatures on earth. they can bleed for a week and still survive.

[@user-uw4wb7qo3i]

he may have had the first power ballad.

[@ralphfiligenzi6180]

Also his 70's hit songs called "You and Me" and "I Never Cry".

[@russrollins9978]

Alice Cooper was my jam when I was in High School. He is considered a pioneer of shock rock and his stage show was known for pyrotechnics, guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, reptiles, baby dolls, and dueling swords. Other songs worth listening to are: Billion Dollar Babies; I'm Eighteen (this was my school's song for the senior class of 1976); School's Out; Teenage Lament; Poison; Welcome to My Nightmare; Desperado.

[@thefunkybuddha69]

"Billion Dollar Babies" is my favorite of his. It has a groove plus transitions, and of course it's theatrical 'cause it's Alice!

[@johnday5519]

a big howdy from another '76er

[@NYVoice]

Alice Cooper. He was there before KISS. Great performer.

[@ZacCostilla]

The “Billion Dollar Babies” album is full of great songs!

[@williamswiniuch7527]

Love the title track!

[@MrWalkingguy]

Title track is a favorite! Live, with all the theatrics Alice Cooper brings, really makes a show!

[@laxyyorma7016]

Yes and we all remember that gatefold cover which was like a green wallet and that huge billion dollar banknote there inside.

[@bolo5584]

That's my favorite as well, along with killer.

[@kesleycottrell1416]

Alice is well unique in a strange way. He has a ton of cool songs. All of them very different from what other bands have done.

[@adameves5970]

"All of them very different from what other bands have done" Weird opinion. You must not have listened to much music, other than radio tunes. You generic humans never cease to amaze me about how derpy you are.

[@kesleycottrell1416]

I have also seen the Grateful Dead more times than you seen concerts. I also seen Bob Marley. I'm not a generic anything. I did listen to the radio, 8 tracks and albums. I have probably over 500 records. You messed with the wrong music lover. The fact is l forgot more than you will ever know.

[@Peter-oh3hc]

Add my vote for School's out. He seemed so out there in the 70's. Sounds kinda tame now. Love him

[@sumonjamal1653]

This was the original Alice Cooper band from the early 70's - Alice Cooper (vocals), Michael Bruce (lead guitar), Neal Smith (drums), Dennis Dunaway (bass) & the late Glen Buxton (guitar)... Alice Cooper went solo in 1975 after the breakup of the original band; the man is 70+ years old & still records, tours and performs 'No more Mr. Nice Guy' in concert 🤘🤘🔥🔥😈 Megadeth did a great cover of 'No more Mr. Nice Guy' in 1989 🤘🤘 and their mainman Dave Mustaine calls Alice Cooper his godfather... Cooper's past struggles w/ alcohol made him reach out to other entertainers who were struggling w/ addiction, and Dave Mustaine was one of them.

[@vicprovost2561]

The original band was bad ass and blew our minds when we saw them, in the early 70s no one had seen anything like his stage show and his band was one of the best and had the chops to bring his outrageous show to life. God Bless Alice Cooper!

[@RFWieder]

I saw him perform back in the early 70's when his "Killer" album came out. He is known for his charitable work and I have a friend who knows him personally and she has nothing but good things to say about him!! Other songs are "Eighteen" and the "Ballad of Dwight Fry"!!

[@bryansmith5980]

He still does a lot of charity work in Arizona. He puts kids from all races privlidged or not and allow them to be creative musically. God Bless Alice and his wife.

[@loudharley6926]

Not really getting the whole Alice Cooper experience without seeing his shtick. Saw him live for the first time a few years ago with Motley Crue. Never thought I wanted to see him live, I was wrong. He lives in Phoenix and a a legendary nice guy.

[@whalemoona8715]

Happy new year

If you're going down the Alice Cooper rabbit hole you should check out: Welcome To My Nightmare, Only Women Bleed, School's Out, Cold Ethel, Devil's Food/The Black Widow (2 songs that are back to back), Poison, I Never Cry, Billion Dollar Babies, Under My Wheels, I'm Eighteen, Goes To Hell.

[@TheLanceUppercut]

I'd add Desperado and Halo of Flies to this list.

[@joebrown5120]

…Generation Landslide, Is It My Body, Hello, Hurray, Be My Lover and so on an so forth 😛

[@PublicAnimalNo9]

I've been a big Alice Cooper fan since the early 70's. He is a rock legend and has so many excellent songs. He was the original shock rocker and got bad press and even banned from playing in a few countries just because of the press. So in this song he's kind of saying, " I'm a nice guy, but you all think I'm bad, so you haven't seen anything yet, No More Mr Nice Guy"!. He is a great writer and performer and has a great sense of humor. Here are a few other songs of his to check out, Schools Out, I'm Eighteen, Billion Dollar Babies, Poison, Under my Wheels. He has 50 years of great music and is still puts on one of the best rock shows there is and still puts out great albums. I have tickets to see him live in April!

[@michaeljensen6732]

I saw Alice in 1979 and again in 2019, great show and great music. He is still touring and releasing records. Teenage Lament '74, Billion Dollar Babies, Cold Ethyl and so many more!

[@johnglue1744]

He is still really good live too.

[@Chatta-Ortega]

Billion Dollars Babies is one of the best album covers ever.

[@andrewgibson395]

As others have already commented, the live shows are even better than the studio versions of the songs. The Brutally Live DVD captures it well.

[@72KingDavid]

Yes! That dvd is my favorite as far as Alice concert DVD’s.

[@CalicoCooperFan]

@@72KingDavid My favorite is Paranormal Live at The Olympia. Its the most recent and features his current touring band plus his wife and eldest daughter, Calico, in the show. Brutally live is 20 years old at this point.

[@maneatingpie2338]

Alice Cooper was the first Metal/Rock villain. He had an incredible live act.

[@TheTussman]

I was a freshman in 1969 when AC played our high school in Windsor, Ontario across the river from Detroit. They were in the LA scene just getting started. They were crude but very promising because of Vincent Fournier, who most people still think was "Alice Cooper". Can't believe it's been 53 years! BTW, my buddies and I regard "Love it to Death" as their best album. School's Out and Billions Dollar Babies are great as well. Halo of Flies the best song!

[@hays9008]

The Godfather of Shock Rock one of my favourites for 40 years. Alice is known as one the nicest guys in rock

[@CalicoCooperFan]

I've seen Alice Cooper in concert over 60 times and have tickets to see two more of his concerts this year. He is AMAZING live. His shows are part rock show and part monster show with theatrics. His current touring band is incredible live. If you haven't seen Alice in concert in the last 15 years, you haven't seen him at his best.

[@vicprovost2561]

Last time of a dozen times he had Halestorm open for him, mind blowing sets from both bands then Lzzy came out to jam on Alice's encore of Schools Out, gave me wicked chills and just plain a rush seeing that entire group of musicians reach for rock and roll Nirvana!

[@billraufmann8918]

Great finally someone is playing some old classic Alice Cooper! This guy was a big deal when I was in high school. I know some people are going to disagree with me but I liked Alice Cooper with the original band. Once he split off on his own it was a little too corny and commercialized for my taste. The original band was great …had a great bass player and two lead guitars that would jam back-and-forth and the whole band wrote the music. But of course back in those days there were so many great bands out there it was easy to give up on one and go to another😂 million dollar babies and schools out albums were my favorite, I Remember on the schools out album it opened up like a school desk and inside the vinyl album was wrapped in a pair of panties😂 and then of course billion dollar babies album which this song is from open Ed up like a giant wallet and if I remember right, it had a giant bill in there with a picture of Alice Cooper instead of A president

[@unclefido6484]

Yep.

[@susandavis8505]

I've seen Alice Cooper live 3 times over the past 10 years & his stage show is absolutely AMAZING!! Great reaction guys!!

[@bigbrainboy2013]

Saw him at an outdoor festival 25 years ago or so and he did the whole Stephen themed songs in the pouring rain, absolutely amazing theatre.

[@malclee6246]

I saw him about six years ago in Manchester, he still dressed in a white suit and hat. One of my favourite track ' Poison' for some reason he didn't play. He is a devout Christian I used the do the collection at my local church , I wonder how much Vince would put in the box!!🤭🤩😃😁

[@I.am.Iain-81]

Such a classic figure of rock and roll, a true icon!! I love, feed my frankenstien and Hey Stoopid & yes that's how it's spelt in the song title. 👍

[@timlamb6196]

Him, Bob Seger, Ted Nugent, Grand Funk Railroad, and the MC5 were the southeast/Detroit wave of rock back in the 70's. Detroit rocked so much even Kiss in which was from New York made a song called Detroit rock city.

[@franklinzappa7043]

Alice Cooper playing Loveland Colorado 10-22. Gonna be a Magnificent Show. Seen them 3x before, and they never disappoint.🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🤘😎 Git Some.

[@jamesanderson5268]

Alice had two outstanding albums that didn't get any air play. The first is an album about a nightmare he had called "Alice Cooper Goes to Hell" and the other is a true story about him going into a rehab facility called "On the inside". Both are on KZbin. Check them out. Both outstanding! I think all his albums are on KZbin.

Billion Dollar Babies is Alice Cooper's best song imo.

[@kevinb9745]

The Ballad of Dwight Fry-Alice Cooper

[@tskwerl]

Drugs were never Alice Cooper's thing (just in case anybody's wondering), he was a major alcoholic and it almost killed him. Absolute legend at 73, still making music and still touring.

[@bitchnguy]

More Alice y'all need to hear are Teenage Lament '74, Muscle of Love, Is It My Body, Be My Lover, Billion Dollar Babies, Under My Wheels and so many more. Alice Cooper is a legend.

[@jasonluker9851]

[@shelbysnyder8109]

Alice Cooper Welcome to My Nightmare was the first album I ever owned. Check out Billion Dollar Babies.

[@pebblehilllane]

"Alice Cooper recalled how the 1973 hit single “No More Mr. Nice Guy” was sort of a private joke between himself and his bandmates. The track appeared on their sixth album, Billion Dollar Babies, their biggest-selling to date, and was inspired in part by the incredible success they'd experienced in the time leading up to its recording. It had also been conceived at the height of mainstream reaction to Cooper's shock-rock persona, as he told Uncle Joe Benson on the Ultimate Classic Rock Nights radio show. “That was autobiographical,” Cooper explained. “Everybody at that point didn’t know whether to hate us or love us. But I was definitely, with the general public, the worst person ever. I was the Antichrist, I was everything. And I said, ‘Okay, that does it. Gloves are off - no more Mr. Nice Guy. Now we’re gonna get rough.’” While the song's lyrics analyzed the mainstream response to Cooper ("I got no friends 'cause they read the papers / They can't be seen with me and I'm feelin' real shot down / And I'm gettin' mean") the band took a flipped approach to the music, with a little help from the Who."

[@DaveBartlett]

It was a master stroke to do that final verse in the 'californian' beach boys / jan & dean style. Both bands in their time were seen as the nice guys of rock, with their blond hair, sun-tans and white teeth, with most of their songs about surfing and teenage romance. Alice Cooper on the other hand were for a long time seen as the darker, less desirable face of rock, but this song emphasizes that this is all a front, designed to shock, because that was what sells records: that was what the fans were expecting because THAT was what the music media designed. The image of Alice Cooper was one perpetuated by the media, then the fans, and finally accepted by the band themselves, because the media needed someone to despise, and the fans needed someone for society to despise. For goodness sake, even the media had named the vocalist 'Alice Cooper' years before, (The vocalist was originally Vince Furnier - the band was Alice Cooper,) in order to make him/them even more controversial.
