Alice Cooper - Welcome To My Nightmare (Official Audio)

[@ShellTrek]

Best Concert ever: Not just an adventure to his music; but a theatrical performance, which nobody supplies! Double your enjoyment!

[@hdghostrider1403]

Always loved the band but never got to see them… a true loss for me

[@DanielBachme]

Seen Alice three times and He and his crew never disappoint!

[@andygeisel2177]

Went to my first Alice show on the Trash tour, with a bit of trepidation, which was instantly dispelled when the show started. He had a fantastic band, a terrific stage show and is a terrific showman. Part rock concert, part theater ... LOVED it!

[@dave-d-grunt]

Yes! Saw him in 1972, I was 15. Amazing at that time. Probably more so now with the tech we have today.

[@brianswain6475]

Saw him when he toured promoting this album in Vancouver and 2 other times. Always a terrific show!!!

[@ingwarmagn3393]

This man put his milestone in the history of rock music forever!

[@keithmiller4016]

By far the most theatrical band, great concerts ever held.

[@carltonwaring8440]

Has to be one of the best albums of all time.

[@jonwoodard2222]

Saw the Welcome tour in Nashville Tennessee at age 14. Cool parents huh? First encounter with Alice was a year prior on Don Kirchners In Concert. Snake, loud guitars and long hair and I've been hooked since. 61st bday today and still loving the Nightmare

[@DeathKnight553]

I know your comments over a year old but I can relate to what you said, 26 about to be 27, first Alice Cooper concert I went to I was about 10, and holy crap!!! I wore a glow in the dark skeleton shirt I can't remember the song he was playing at the time but he had the dancing skeletons on stage and Alice himself ended up pointing at me during the song, mom looked over and seen I was just glowing from the shirt and whatnot!!!! Best feeling in the gd world!!! Yeaaahhh, cool parents am I right?

[@Jeffnham]

This was the first LP I bought with my very own money when I was 14 years old! I still have it, and might spin it later! Halloween ain't Halloween without Alice Cooper!

[@flemmingsgaard3092]

My storry, are like yours, i was 15,,1977,,Bristol,, a meka for musik, in Denmark, at that time. Cassette tape, in a basket,,,i chose, the Welcom to my nightmare tape. 19,.95 kr.,,,so fucking cheap. last time I did anything right at all

[@Honest_Grifter]

I have a very similar story, friend... saved up for this album as a child because it had bugs all over the outer sleeve 😂... finally getting a chance to see him live this year, it's better late than never!!! I've been spinning my cooper collection in anticipation for the show!!!

[@mccollmagazine]

Best use of brass in a rock song

[@johnnygardner288]

Fuck you MAN! your a dam lier cause you know it's not😮

[@billmurray7473]

Better brass than Chicago .

[@Damaged262]

As a GIGANTIC BOC fan, does this album ever age?? It’s just as fresh to me as the Christmas Day that brother gave to me. It broke my mind and I’m not afraid to admit it. I still am a huge BOC fan, but there’s plenty of room in my heart for this album.

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

Total masterpiece song and album 🤘🎃🤘

[@dianebroude8321]

Another AWESOME SONG from my teenage years! ALICE COOPER is still KICKIN ASS today!!!

[@michealrobinson6203]

Sings really great as I got the song on repeat… Have you been to her concerts before?

[@real_chill69]

​@@michealrobinson6203it's a man

[@funkingded]

The best thing about Alice is his voice. I think his studio performances are better than his live work simply because the studio work picks up his emotional (creepy?) intonations so much better than a live performance.

[@andygeisel2177]

Agree, in that you get more nuance on the studio recordings. That said, I was still quite blown away by his stage show, one of the best concerts I've seen.

[@ivanmay7890]

Welcome To My Nightmare is, by far and away, Alice Cooper's best album.

[@roryaugustson581]

Good album. However,not his best. Billion, Schools out ect

[@mr.brenman2132]

​@@roryaugustson581 You're only saying that because that was the original band. Alice has continued to put out great albums for nearly 50 years after the original band broke up.

[@OGpenguinBTW]

Trash and schools out are better in my opinion welcome to my nightmare is still good though

[@xz3ss]

Yes

[@aprendizdebrujo100]

bt far away? yopu re crazy... the band is the best of alice copper. The band and this first album without the band... from 1971 to 1975. Bt far is and away, is no more than an opinion. nillion dollar babies is better than this for me, for example, even schools out, but if there's a winner, it is not by far and away...

[@kellyk5946]

I was privileged to see this concert at the Wembley Empire Pool in 1975. I bought the album straight after and I have played it to death since!

[@dave-d-grunt]

I saw him in ‘72

[@helenasvejnoch]

Being a wholelife fan of The Beatles though I have to say, it is an amazing album. Thank you, Alice.

[@billsugden]

Great music last for generations it's nice to see , I remember getting this album for Christmas in 1975 ;)

[@ingridmcrae6952]

It's got a funky beat with a great horn section! Yet, It's so rock n' roll ! You got to Love Alice Cooper!

[@vassilip.mironov8661]

That's the BEST album I have ever heard

[@jackmiller4946]

Still sounds like a funk song to me. I’m pop lockin right now!

[@bluecollar825]

Because Alice didn't hire clowns for his bands. Don't forget he kinda came up under Zappa. If you anything about Frank you know how hard he was to impress lol.

[@da7715]

Alot of Alice's early sound was very funky. This can also be heard in parts on Billion Dollar Baby the album

[@fredbarnes2049]

Maybe my favorite Alice song off my favorite Alice album. Still rocking 45 years later!

[@jamesmelton8278]

this is like one of the best songs ever

[@shawnfairholm989]

Yup...this gets me in the halloween mood!!!

[@Honest_Grifter]

This was the first record I ever bought on vinyl... i saved up my money as a child and bought it because it had bugs all over the cover... ends up, i made the right choice thanks to those bugs... I'm finally going to see him live this year, I've waited a lifetime for this opportunity.... i cannot wait!!!

[@dave-d-grunt]

I saw him live in 1972. Amazing concert! Sacramento Memorial Auditorium. You’re gonna love it!

[@stevengarman4848]

I first heard this song on The Muppet Show. Loved it!

[@DanielBachme]

Listened to Alice since the 80's. Just watched a you tube vid that put Alice #1 for guests on the muppet show, making me revisit. Never knew Alice was a guest and I grew up watching the mups.

Cooper rocks

[@celinehermosilo529]

My Dad has played this song for my Mom many times over the years. Whether in the kitchen, on the deck in the backyard, or wherever, his eyes welled up with tears as he grabbed her hand to dance. To this day, he will struggle to keep up, but won’t miss an opportunity to dance with my Mom. My heart breaks in so many ways - I see in my parents what so many could only dream of - unconditional love, loyalty, devotion, and romance, after 46 years. I wish they could have 20 more years, as they should, but life can be cruel, even to the kindest. Cancer spares no one. Cheers to one more dance Mom and Dad ❤

[@starsourcer]

When I first got this album, I listened over and over again. Know every word and think it is masterpiece!

I grew up with this horror story - absolutely love Alice in concert, my father was a session drummer in new Zealand in the 70s, Alice loved Budweiser

Right here with you Lucifer my man. Yep, I'm quite familiar with the 8-track player as well as how to take apart the cartridge for internal repairs, how to splice tape, and then transferred all that knowledge to cassette when that came out. After that it's all bytes and bits and digital. Still, the music is the same!

Shot himself in the foot appearing on "The Muppets." Alice Cooper had GnR open for him when "Appetite..." was just released in 1987,not famous yet. Faster Pussycat opened entire concert,more punk than glam metal,back when it wasn't cool. 11 yr old me was blown away! Alice Cooper had an amazing show himself,very wild theatrics!

[@marieblue]

“Welcome to My Nightmare” (1975) was the centerpiece to Alice Cooper’s* 1975 tour, which opened with this song and set the stage for the macabre scenes that followed. Cooper approached the tune as a production number, and that’s how he interpreted it. For the tour, the musicians were hidden in the back of the stage while Alice performed with various dancers and props. He would emerge in a haze of smoke, singing this on a bed. The rest of the show was based on the idea that the spectators were seeing his nightmares brought to life. Any meaning in the piece is up to the listener, as Alice explained : “I project images to the audience and they make up their own story to fit it. I have no message at all. I never did.” In 1975, Cooper turned the stage show into a concert motion picture titled “Alice Cooper : Welcome to My Nightmare,” and a TV film called “The Nightmare.” The famous horror movie actor Vincent Price played “The Spirit of the Nightmare,” narrating the spectacle. The picture was a precursor to long-form music videos, as it was a theatrical production set to music. 💙🎤💛🎬💚 * Alice Cooper’s birth name is Vincent Damon Furnier.
