Musically, 'Steven' from the Nightmare album is one of his finest works.

[@laurencelevene4333]

I think Steven is the most interesting character ever created for a concept album. And that album is my favourite Alice cooper album. I saw the nightmare tour in London , empire pool 1975 and will never forget it

[@josephcontreras8930]

While being institutionalized in a state hospital in a strait jacket head lobbing Spital drooling from meds and in a quiet room next to Michael Myers and treated by Dr. GIGGLES... I know cause that's me....hahahahaha

[@user-qo2be8gr1j]

You should read my stories if "steven"turns you on then you should check out emma lisa's story of alice in wonderland on shrooms the next chapter.

[@RonniePeterson]

Trust me Alice, Steven is a lot more to us Alice Cooper fans, Rock on Forever!

[@dantesabbath2107]

As someone with psychosis and regular psychotic episodes, I relate to Steven on a very real level. Specifically the song Steven itself, hearing your name being called over and over in the dark of the night, by voices you don't know, people you don't know. It's a terrifying experience, it still scares me even after all these years.

[@guaporeturns9472]

It’s a spooky song from a spooky album. Hope this finds you well.

[@MissLunaria]

Yayy! That's THE question I would've ask if I ever met him someday!

[@dennislyons7158]

Alice is the ultimate Rock Star!!! This world would SUCK if he wasn't along with us for this crazy thing that we call life!! Atleast I would feel something was missing if we never had Alice and all the crazy cool things that he has brought into this world!!!

[@razrhiannaspiers8506]

I love the song Steven! Every time I hear it, it brings back memories of when I was 7!!

[@MadDogE134]

"in icy breath it whispers screams of pain"... that brother is deep and has been my favorite lyric in this existence. carry on... cheers

[@jeffreyvalentine4478]

Alice is a legend!!! He can't be killed by man, only by God,God is protecting him so we can have rock. Keep on rocking Alice Cooper!! You will never be forgotten by us Cooper fans !!!🎸🎤

[@stevenbielak4014]

I AM Steven. Wow this is very good to know and thank you very much for sharing Alice! I have never heard this till tonight! As a kid I had heard different voices calling my name (just like in the song) coming from the hallway, which was in the center of the house from the living room and it lead to all the other rooms! This all happened before the song came out and I freaked the hell out when I heard it around 14?! Always been a big Alice Cooper fan! To this day I still think that place was haunted! Alice's description really explains how I felt and I even carved Steven Seven into a wooden fence around our yard in Redondo Beach, CA. Side note, I went back to visit years ago and they tore out two blocks of homes and streets next to Lincoln Elementary School to make more room for the school. In a strange twist of fate that house still stands! They left our old house there (crazy) and it is being used as a Boy Scouts Den as far as I know still today? Hmmm? Stevennnn Again I hear my name...

[@user-qo2be8gr1j]

Steven i met you once a long time ago. You were my hero. I looked up to you for several years. Yes, you truly were my hero that i felt was the greatest man who ever lived.❤

[@roseinthepines]

Loved this...as a teen my boyfriend would sing and play "Steven" on guitar to torture his friend Steven...and it WAS torture lol. Wow, memories, thanks!

[@afterburner2869]

Steven is my favorite Alice Cooper song. Well that and I never cry.

[@karenglenn6707]

My absolute favourite song of his. Musically it is just beautiful and the piano is perfection. I have loved this since I was 14 and am now 61.

[@TheVampireJulie]

I had no idea there was a 7-year-old girl named Brenda or Sally in me...which is it or how do I get her out? Because I'm a senior in high school and she keeps holding me back. It's like I've only lived a minute of my life...:D

[@LisaCupcake]

+TheVampireJulie She never goes away. She'll be with you for years and years... :)

[@TheVampireJulie]

Craaaaaap....

[@thrombeyking]

Yes love this! ♥️

[@guaporeturns9472]

8 yrs ago you were a senior in HS. Now are you glad you still have a bit of your young self left? As time goes on you will cherish it even more

[@afterhourshotrods6882]

Steven is a Dark soul within Alice who brings out those stories in music....been listening to AC since Billion Dollar 🚼.... Oh my I just dated myself.....

[@lmfs4032]

I want to see Alice cover Comfortably Numb with the straight jacket on and Little Susie by MJ.

[@l.salisbury1253]

An early version of "comfortably numb" (titled "the doctor") has different lyrics that would NOT be out-of-place on a classic Alice album!

[@Mr.Timwell]

I always thought Steven was this guy that had a questionable childhood, like in the song "Wind-up Toy", and later as a dad, contemplating on killing his baby in the song named after him. And in "The Awakening" he wakes up, either doing the deed and not remembering, or him wanting to kill his child was just a dream. Looking at this, I can almost assume that in the song named after him, maybe he was debating on killing his baby brother or something. Which if that was the case, it could've been him reliving memories in his dream, and the one calling for him was his wife in the real world, or his mother from the dream. Not sure if I'm looking too deep into it, or the meaning is much simpler than this

[@comesky]

my names stephen and when the song came out I had lost a toddler brother to a drowning in the back yard pool and a father to cancer two years later he was 42 .... the line your to young to die was my brother and i dont want to see you die was my dad ..he was told he had cancer after my brother die so we knew and i was in a fog a haze everyone calling my name trying to get my attention asking me questions .....whats it feel like now that they died familly calling my name telling me Im the man of the house i was 10 ........this song helped thank you alice

[@meganrhode88]

I'm so sorry for your losses. I can see why the song helped. Hugs. God bless.

[@MrSpookiness]

It`s So Cool... I`ve Always Felt A Connection To Alice...Way Before "The Last Temptation Comics" Came Out I Heard In My Head...Outta Nowhere...We Decided To Bring Back Steven In A Comic Book...A Few Years Later It Happened...

[@afterburner2869]

There are two questions I would like to ask Alice. The first one is what name will be on your tombstone, Vincent Furnier or Alice Cooper. The second question is why don’t you think she really wouldn’t understand .

[@AmorphisBob]

I had this theory that Steven is a man that's been in a coma since childhood.

[@jimhalliday1871]

Got sent to Wembley market as a 10 year old with a pound to buy some shoes for school. Came back with an Alice poster (10 shillings )and a copy of schools out (7/6d) and I had a hotdog on the way home. Dad went potty and mum laughed. Following week skipped school and went to brighton where he was doing a publicity thing for tv Dad laughed and mum went potty .

[@guaporeturns9472]

Great story

[@razrhiannaspiers8506]

Alice, these videos are awesome, love every single one you do! Is it possible to do some more in the following weeks?

[@joesephkroll2056]

I've always been a fan of alice and my name is Stephen, so this song I've always had questions about.

[@DM-hk4cw]

Eerily, beautiful song. If my night terrors had a soundtrack, this would be it.

[@maxzzyzx8038]

My favorite song.

[@josephcontreras8930]

I've worked with guys named Steven and I've called them yelled out his name like you do...STEEVVEENNN!!! Steven sounds like a great person and situation to make a Netflix or freevee mini series.

[@paulratcliff763]

Beautiful song 🎵

[@pierre-rose7783]

What a song ! I always listen to it now and again, I will never forget that little 7 year old in me !

[@user-qo2be8gr1j]

My favirite rose is the red rose. Its thorns tend to reach out to bite you as a warning to protect it's beautiful precious rose that blooms every spring after being asleep all winter long.

[@JillDinardo]

Alice. You took the thoughts right out of my brain!

[@_Spy_]

We love Steven! From afar! But we love him!

[@marinam3607]

You are amazing,so smart,so sweet,so down to heart,so cool💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@alicecooper2793]

You have such a profound impact on my career that even the biggest thank you text would fall shout to express my gratitude... Thanks for your support ❤️❤️❤️, if you're really a huge fan of me drop your WhatsApp number I'll text you myself 😊

[@bepriceless]

A friend asked me who the hell Steven was, and I said, he's the bad little boy in all of us, so I was pretty close.

[@Whisperlil]

I just watched the TV show, marvel's Moon Knight, and was like... they should really play Steven for the end credits here... would had fitted wonderfully in my opinion ;3

[@tommasocorelli631]

Thank you Alice! I think Steven is a wonderful name, love it 🖤 my philosophical idea was that he could be Steven Tyler lol

[@lucia4deth]

Alice you are the best!!! Love you!!!

[@demonicsorrow9763]

steven is Michael Meyers

[@johnsmith-vm1gb]

I always thought the song Steven was written about Steven Stayner . Abducted at 7 , returned home at 14 . R.I.P Steven Stayner .

[@captainbienvenuecanadianav7060]

The female equivalent? My guess is Betty. From Dead Babies; "goodbye little Betty."

[@brian6078]

Awesome song Alice!! I love your Killer album best of all.Do you still have your Snakes?

[@jjjjjj6714]

Reminds me of Hoid from Brandon sanderson cosmere books universe.

[@VictoriaDominquez-cp1nx]

I have a comic book of Steven

[@rogerbackman1390]

This is a novel Gaiman needs to write, i´m at my age drawn to the elder, cross dressing side (lace and whiskey) but this is Neil or King´s territory, a younger before the carnivale Steven. Who´s touching the spiders out of curiosity but also because of need (Dexter!) since all children have an hatchet to grind. I salute me elder brothers to have shown me you!

[@caseyporter5956]

Yes - GAIMAN needs to explore this! That would be incredible... Well thought, comrade.

[@ChimeraAZ]

Roger Backman: He already did that in his graphic novel called "The Last Temptation". I have it in my library.

[@themortimeryoungfilmpreser2438]

So if Steven was the seven year old, why did you use him in your album Along Came a Spider? That surely is not the seven year old in all of us. Please, explain. Been a fan of yours since age ten, now 58 and still a big fan. Along Came a Spider was very moving. We get into a mind of a serial killer. Again, how does Steven relate to this. Keep up the wonderful work. Your the greatest.

[@jokerlmao2357]

In case I wasn't clear it's the mirror

[@BruceCarroll]

My closest childhood friend and I speculated the song "Steven" was the story of a man (Steven) coping with the stillbirth of a child. I'm not sure how philosophical that is.

[@spookyrosev6467]

My sister was getting into Nightmare (since we plan on seeing him in about a week) ,but she was rather confused at the later tracks mainly the Steven ones.

[@MegaBlazed]

I was named from this song so this is cool to know

[@SHOUTband]

Awesome!

[@AliceCooper]

shoutoffical you're awesome ;)

[@stevenword875]

I remember when i first found out about this song i loved it, but i liked it even more because MY name is steven, Shoutout to my fellow stevens

[@stephendove5306]

"STILL 45+yrs LATER" WHAT DO YOU WANT?

[@splo1nger909]

Sir Furnier.

[@kennymik1509]

I might have....

[@stevenstidham13]

Steven Stidham who died of a heroin overdose whos cousin Jimmy Sexton played with Alice?

[@madphil69]

Isn't he a monarch alter ego, like mk ultra or such? Appears at times of stress and does the bad stuff...

[@Lumiclan]

Wow! This is just amaziing! I'm gonna write you now! Except... I don't know how... mm.. Oh well! Steven is awesome! Just like Steven Univerrse!

[@AliceCooper]

+Ylva 0,0 Hell yeah Steven Universe! Also, submit questions through the app or on my main KZbin page.

[@Lumiclan]

Official Alice Cooper OMG okay! I will!

[@johngerson7335]

No, "Steven" is the little seven year old boy who wants to put the family cat in the freezer, or the guinea pig in the dryer along with a brick and turn it on, just to see what will happen. Stop fibbing Vince! I think I heard somewhere that when he grew up, he began referring to himself as "Sonny" (among other things) and had a job in Atlanta, in a mall playin' Santa.

[@user-vf1tf4hb9b]

Это невесты brides

[@ozzymd1]

Who is stevens brother ?

[@lonewolf2608]

I'm Stephen! 😆

[@halloweenmaskdude]

Do I have permission to use your song eat some more in an independent film that I am working on? If I may have your permission that would be wonderful! Please reply and thank you for reading.

[@AliceCooper]

halloweenmaskdude this is not the best way to contact him for music rights! I'm afraid I won't be able to help.

[@halloweenmaskdude]

Okay well thank you for replying! but for some reason Every time I try to Email him it dosn’t work. Are there any other ways that I could contact him?

[@liamfenerty135]

geez i love ya Alice

[@TopJimmyWinn]

That's funny lol

[@Michael-bl4no]

Doesn’t sound like Alice is a Tyler fan.

[@rockroll6839]

Alice Cooper. Can you answer this question? What would Steven look like if he was real?

[@alextrebek8293]

i was hoping for a more detailed, deeper explanation.

[@Frankcastlepunisher74]

Alice you are a McCart! You are my distance cousin via Mary McCart!!!

[@bodvarson1933]

Yes, but im trying to peice together his story. Why he apparantly hears voices and kills people.

[@janedoejanedoe9226]

KEEP SAYIN THAT!!!!

[@Madipadithebaddie]

Steven is a demon that visited Mr Alice Cooper and forced him to put his name in songs

[@steverosten7101]

i love that song!!! always have dont worry im still alive and well and still love my monsters in the closet!!!, alice cooper is the best!!!

[@Stephan74]

Im steven, from Glasgow Scotland. Writing the best Cooper song ever. Please contact me you won't be unimpressed my lord

[@Stigmatix666]

I knew it!

[@buronbruno8514]

A l'époque, Alice Cooper disait que le personnage de Steven lui avait été inspiré par un type qui se prénommait ainsi car Alice lui avait piqué sa petite amie et ce dernier le poursuivait dans tout les états unis pour lui faire la peau. C'est du moins ce qui a été rapporté dans un magazine français à l' époque. 😱🇲🇫☠️

[@Beatnikzombie]

Why wouldn't it be Stephanie?

[@DJBLINE.]

I am Steven!!😈🎶😈🎶

[@stecar9122003]
