THE CONSTANT SHOWMAN? First Time Hearing Alice Cooper - Only Women Bleed (Live) Reaction!

[@leeperdue7906]

Alice was on the Muppet Show in the 70s and did “Welcome to my Nightmare “ with the muppets. It’s a great, fun video.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

A MUST HEAR Classic track,, 🔥 Alice Cooper "School's Out" 🔥 After the release of this song,, The last day of school every year would never be the same. 🎶 🎸

[@rowenatulley852]

School's Out, Be My Lover, Eighteen, Billion Dollar Babies, Generation Landslide, Elected, and more . . .

[@jetzeppa1]

The lady is his daughter, his wife was a dancer in the early years, later his wife took over the daughters skits. His wife still performs in his shows.

[@Bill-c8k]

Alice at 76 is still doing it playing small theaters so you can experience the show

[@tahliasgoddaddy]

He's actually still touring doing large venues. My Nephew has caught his concerts twice in the past 5 or 6 years. He recently wrapped up his European tour.

[@wassupinlasvegas9735]

I saw him in a stadium with Def Leppard and Motley Crue last year, so he must be doing both venues of all sizes.

[@glennwhittaker1417]

Vincent Damon Furnier aka Alice Cooper, been at it 60 yrs. Quit drinking in the 80's, plays golf everyday including when on tour. Not bad for a kid from Michigan making up and playing this character on stage for all these years. Always has had the best band members, all legends.

[@waynebrown-m7b]

Use to play golf with Bob Hope

[@meherenowmaybe]

I prefer Bob Seger. Detroit girl here. Alice wasn't bad though. I can do without Ted N though, vile creature that he is.

[@paulthompson4545]

I saw his Billion Dollar Baby show at Allen field house April 15, 1973, was one of the best concert experiences ever!

[@DennisGayhart-s3t]

I saw him at UVA in 1973.

[@waitn4theharpazo]

His song "you and me" is a departure from his normal music. Very sweet and loving.

[@kimberlyweaver7156]

I went and seen him in concert in September . He sung this song. His concert are still one of the best to go see. He is so entertaining.

[@dalesands1857]

Seen him in the 80's. Not so much as a concert, but more of an experience. You couldn't take your eyes off.

[@Laura_Martin42]

Welcome to My Nightmare is such an excellent album, but so is Goes to Hell. I have been loving him for so many years! This is one of his most powerful songs.

[@markwilliams6394]

Also From the Inside.

[@toneman501]

Both are great albums ...

[@meherenowmaybe]

I liked Lace and Whiskey too. I even enjoyed Flush the Fashion. I got the cassette when it came out. I was in 8th grade. Royal Oak, MI

[@TheEricthefruitbat]

Alice Cooper is my favourite artist. Welcome To My Nightmare is my favourite album. Only Women Bleed is a magnificent example of what makes this album so special. And the song is integral to the concept of the album.

[@peterschon3717]

I have all albums from Alice Cooper and most of them are sensational

[@tonyterryjohnson8603]

I have always loved this song. So glad that you played it. Thank you.

[@goatslunch6991]

The blonde girl is his actual daughter. Shes a big part of most of his shows. "How you going to see me now" is a must.

[@n5iln]

Lita Ford covered this song on her album "Stiletto" in 1990. She kept the same feel but at the same time made it unmistakably her sound. There's an unconfirmed story going around that Alice Cooper heard her perform it one night at a concert, and later, when he saw her backstage, said, "That's your song now."

[@howiewarren243]

Saw Lita this summer in Chicago .She still does this song live.

[@n5iln]

@@howiewarren243 I saw her opening for Yngwie Malmsteen. THAT was an excellent show.

[@RichardWilson-be8zp]

Another great Alice Cooper ballad is I nNver Cry. Give it a listen. You will surely enjoy it.

[@IggyStardust1967]

Saw him live back in 2002. Won tickets from the local rock station. What a night THAT was! Sadly, didn't learn that he had stayed to sign autographs until we were half way home. But man, what a SHOW he puts on!

[@kennethbartlett4302]

That is funny . I won tickets from the radio in 1996. Unfortunately, he was actually opening for the Scorpions, so he did not have the stage show. He still put on a great show and the Scorpions did not disappoint either.

[@lancewright8652]

He signed autographs after a show in Cleveland around that time. Got to meet him!!

[@Metalphysicalpodcast]

"You and Me" and "How You Gonna See Me Now"

[@cmr8er8]

"I Never Cry" and "Hell Is Living Without You"

[@veggietrish]

So happy to see a channel react to this one. One of his best tunes.

[@AKayfabe]

he is awesome live. Once in around 2004 or so he played a show in my city. It was a free concert, outdoors, and anyone could go. So we went and saw him and the he was meeting and just talking to everyone afterward too. He’s really nice, and personable and just normal and nothing like his stage persona in real life at all.

[@jamesallen-db3rt]

I saw the welcome to my nightmare tour in 1978 Sacramento, California course he did this song the size of the theatrics. The band was amazing but this song was really really awesome live was in the fifth row so had a great view of everything that went on one of my top concerts ever.

[@justinneill5003]

My personal favourites are "No More Mr Nice Guy" closely followed by "Poison."

[@dianewillson1289]

One of the most beautiful love songs, IMO, is his "You and Me". Simple, yet stunning.

[@terryashafer5961]

Cold Ethyl

[@douglasg.9271]

I love 70’s Alice !

[@ChrisLegner-qp1yh]

It's an incredible track lyrically. A vastly underrated song writer.

[@robertserafin-uc3qn]

Alice Cooper was a shock rocker with stage acts & songs like this Always had some of the best musicians in his bands over the 50 years being around

[@waynebrown-m7b]

He had great concerts back in early 70s. Saw him at least 3x.

[@rowenatulley852]

I saw Alice Cooper waaaay back in 1972 in Rockingham, NC. It was a day long rock concert with many bands, and he came on last (IIRC). And yes, he was awesome . . .

[@LJA46]

I saw him live a couple years ago and he still has it on stage! A great song to react to is Feed My Frankenstein! Cold Ethyl also!

[@doplinger1]

I’ve been listening to this album since it came out and I love it. It’s only recently though that I’ve come to understand the meaning behind the song in context of the album. I’ve always thought of this as a man singing about his woman or women in general, but it’s actually seen through the eyes of a child - I never realized that. The whole album is fantastic. And some of his biggest hits are ballads - “You and Me”, “How You Gonna See Me Now?”, “I Never Cry”, to name a few.

[@weshoward450]

I have a slightly different interpretation of the album, but I totally agree this is part of the larger story, which seems to get overlooked a lot

[@doplinger1]

@ - it’s chilling and really gets driven home at the end of “The Awakening”…

[@arjaylee]

Never saw him live. Visited a bar/restaurant he owned in Phoenix. The waitresses all had "Alice" eye make--up. A friend of mine used to go to church with him in Phoenix. One of a kind, immensely influential.

[@garysteinert8040]

Saw Alice the day after I graduated High school. June 22nd 1978. Blondie was the opening act. Alice’s band was Elton John’s classic band. Wild night, his wife Cheryl was the dancer.

[@howiewarren243]

Jay Johnstone on Gee Tarrr back then!!

[@garysteinert8040]

@ Davey but yeah. 👍

[@TheodoreWeiser]

I always thought that Alice's willingness to portray himself as the monster by changing the lyrics to first-person in this video was courageous in a way. Doing so increases (I think) the emotional impact of the performance. Fyi, Alice has released a bunch of live concert videos over the years, but i think this one (Alice Cooper Trashes The World) is my favorite. I especially like the part where Alice, dressed in typical 80s rocker garb, is dragged off the stage, and the makeup and stuff are forcibly added to him before shoving him back on the stage. Good stuff

[@pompanomark2024]

Nice rabbit hole....Alice usually rocked, but had some mellow songs later in the 70s...

[@TheodoreWeiser]

Yeah, I heard once Alice explain that the ballads were a valuable way for rock bands to stay relevant and get radio air play in the dark days of disco

[@csphoenix9]

Alice started in the late 60's

[@christhrasher9892]

Great concert. He always puts on a great show.

[@michaelpoynor3435]

“Halo of Flies”. Best Alice song ever.

[@weshoward450]

Alice Cooper has tons of killer songs that you can enjoy as stand-alone stories. But if you REALLY want to enjoy Alice, you need to jump in the deep end headfirst and start listening to full albums. You will find a LOT of his songs are in the context of a larger story line (like this song). I am pretty sure that he has more concept & theme albums than any one else, and some stories carry across multiple albums. He also does a lot of moral story lines. When playing live, this song sets up Alice (the character) as a villain that will eventually pay for his sins.

[@jamesdamiano8894]

YES definitely check out a ton of Alice. So many great songs. If you like ballads like this then there are You And Me and How You Gonna See Me Now are good ones. You really should check out The Ballad If Dwight Fry. He met his wife during his tour for the actual album. She was a dancer and they are still married and is a very loving husband. She and his daughter Calico tour and are in the live shows. He’s a Christian who plays golf and is nothing like his stage persona. If you want more bangers then Hurricane Years, Feed My Frankenstein, and Cold Ethyl. As far as physical abuse against men, have you ever heard of John Wayne Bobbitt. Not to say he was an angel but he got a bad one.

[@JenniferMcInnes271157]

Welcome Tp My Nightmare. alice Coopers best album. A must listen to Album.

[@MrEnseabee]

Hi Guys, good choice for a reaction. I knew the song by Judy Covington, certainly didn't expect it to have been an Alice Cooper original. Wow, and thanks for the education.

[@lancewright8652]

Try the studio version! It's great as well!!

[@stevenseul361]

Alice Cooper is one of a kind. He is the nicest guy and this is a good song to hear after poison.. Now try one of his anthems "Schools Out" Nice reaction

[@bradhutchinson3275]

Everytime I've seen Alice back to the 70s, at the end of this song, the girl (his real wife) raises up and cuts his throat or stabs him. A more fitting end. The Ballad of Dwight Fry is a song about him actually being in an insane asylum in a straight jacket. He doesn't make it out because they chop his head off with a guillotine. That's a must see! Thanks for the great reactions.

[@howiewarren243]

He has quite a few social awareness song Although the song title Dead Babies is shocking .The song touches on not taking care of your precious baby.

[@stuarthumphrey1787]

Great song, hard hitting. I'd never heard it before, but you really need to see this video to fully understand what it's about

[@randyhanson9441]

His wife Sheryl portrayed the female in his performance since the 70's Since about 2000 his/their daughter Calico has often portrayed the role of the female in this performance.

[@tpernis23]

Alice Cooper always gets executed by Guillotine or hanging while performing certain songs during his concerts. U should check one of those out its great

[@booterspaw]

I saw him in '79, man what a show. Some more of his props were a guillotine and the gallows.

[@bradbennie468]

The Ballad of Dwight Fry, Welcome to my nightmare, I love the dead, dead babies,Steven...ALL LIVE PERFORMANCES

[@skygazer858]

He's got at least one more anti-abuse song. You should check out 'Dead Babies'.

[@wpl8275]

His daughter often was the one on the stage with him in the theatrics.

[@TerenceShortman]

Some radio stations in the US banned the song because they thought it was about the menstrual cycle although I think Alice was using that as a metaphor for domestic violence as the lyrics tell us Alice in real life is the complete opposite of his stage character and has set up youth centers for art and after he managed to get himself of alcohol abuse to save his marriage has gone on to help other stars with their substance abuse.

[@susanliltz3875]

Alice Cooper 1. I’m Eighteen 2. Schools Out

[@nahkohese555]

If you want to see theatrics, find the full Welcome to my Nightmare concert footage from the late 70s/early 80s. Back then, Blackstone (the world-class Magician) was setting up most of his special effects.

[@andysmith2417]

Lita Ford did a great version of this song ,Lovin your reactions guys 😊👍

[@michaelmcnamara879]

Alice can do ballads as well as the best of them

[@johncurtis7186]

Alice Cooper is a big sports fan too, and is a scratch golfer 🏌️‍♂️

[@cadifan]

I've never heard him sing it in the first person before, it's always the third person. He performed this song to bring light to domestic abuse which in those days was swept under the carpet and not spoken about. He didn't believe it should be a hidden issue, it needed to be out there so that it could be better dealt with.

[@tskwerl]

I saw him on this tour. The only difference was Eric Singer from Kiss was the drummer when we saw him. Only blonde dude in the band. lol. Great show.

[@allengray5748]

Great performance! Been to a 1978 show I believe for the album FROM THE INSIDE. The 1971 album Love It To Death was awesome with; I'M EIGHTEEN IS IT MY BODY,, I recommend SECOND COMING and it leads into BALLAD OF DWIGHT FRY!!!! More ideas on the next Alice! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎🎸🤟🏼

[@SteveBurkitt-rg4nj]

God bless him.He found God and that changed his life

[@Wilem35]

He switched from third person to first person

[@rebel3906]

Balled of Dwight Fry live

[@markhayes2265]

Black widow is a must! See if you recognize the person narrating.

[@timothybush9633]

Hi Phil & Sam, I'm a musician and have met Alice at a club I was playing at😎

[@honeybadger713]

I seen him on this tour in 1990 here in the Fox Theater on the Trashed Tour Great show

[@johanmachiels8972]

There is a great cover by Julie Covington (Yess, the singer of dont cry for me Argentina)

[@pjg58x]

Alice Cooper was originally the name of the band fronted by Vincent Furnier. Later Furnier took the name as his legal name.

[@Bill-c8k]

Must do BALLAD OF DWIGHT FRY must do live version

[@Lamm139]

As a woman I love this song. And I think some men should listen to it very closely. Alice tells whole stories in his concerts. He invented "Alice/Steven", a fictional bad character. "Alice" always has to pay for his bad deeds at the end of a show. But don't confuse Alice Cooper with "Alice", the fictional character. Alice Cooper is one of the nicest guys you can imagine.😄

[@barrycounts490]

I saw Alice Cooper at the Wacken Open Air festival 2013 in Germany ! He performed on the last day and Nightwish was the last band =)

[@rickschlosser6793]

Welcome to my Nightmare was a spectacular album. But like you said, quite dark. Welcome to my Nightmare (the song) is a really good one. One of my favorites is ‘Cold Ethyl’, I can’t say that’s a suggestion. I’m not sure it’s ‘appropriate’.

[@michaelmcnamara879]

The only time he uses a dummy on stage was in the song Cold Ethel from the Nightmare show....the rest of the time it was his wife followed by his daughter in later shows

[@JohnSmith-tw5fl]

Alice got so much hate for this song when it came out, "Those" people just looked at the title of the song and ran with it, not that the song was about domestic abuse, as he said here. Another song is by Pat Benatar; Hell is for Children; they ran away with the title and tried to get it banned. But they didn't know it was about child abuse.

[@stevefilley9765]

Brutal Planet LIVE.😊😊😊

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

Heartbreaking but it’s a very big issue.Not just for women,although women are being affected at a very high rate..Men,women and children are all affected by this issue..I enjoyed your response

[@darrylhilbig6459]

On the DA side of things 'Never Again' by Nickleback. Banger of an ending to the story.

[@rickeyjohnson6404]

I have seen him quite a few times and he has a great stage show back in the 60's and early 70's it wasn't considered abuse family didn't talk about it

[@manofconstantsorrow]

Now "Knocking on Heavens Door" by GnR

[@howiewarren243]

Need to take a listen to I Never Cry.

[@maggedo-x1s]

Vince Furnier still lives jus' 4 blocks w: 1 hill N. of Phoenix, Arizona's 2nd poorest 'hood 'cause Alice Cooper stays near his humble roots: Sunnyslope!🤘🌞🌵🌆

[@vanhouten7377]

Alice Cooper - Hey Stoopid (anti drug song), School's out, No More Mr. Nice Guy

[@scottlaughlin9897]

Steven or Halo of Flies next please. As far as never knowing he would do this kind of a song?! lol 😂 check out dead babies, I love the dead or Cold Ethel. That’ll rattle your mind to the core. We’re talking about the king of shock rock here.

[@vincegoodwin7218]

Alice Cooper, live, I gotta get outa here. When I was younger I was too freaked out to watch it.

[@scottedwards33]

This album tells a story about the nightmares of a necropheliac murderer named steven

[@johnsrensen3366]

I like his softy track he has a great voice ❤

[@danacasey8543]

Alice Cooper and his wife (the woman on stage) have been married nearly 50 years!

[@KenMinor-ek1xs]

Alice Cooper was the first "shock rocker "

[@frankscarborough1428]

Love this song. Thanks

[@JimCarmer]

Welcome to My Nightmare is an iconic concept album. Not a bad song on the whole album. Just Pick a song and react to it 😊

[@jimmymcintyre7944]

My favorite AC song. Pkay the studio version.

[@cadleo]

Old Coop is best Coop. Welcome to my Nightmare is incredible, but it is a niche genre.

[@csphoenix9]

Alice is shock rock, in which Kiss and Rob Zombie are

[@rickclark8657]

While you’re exploring this rabbit hole, try Cold Ethyl and Steven

[@howiewarren243]

Check out ALL Alice Cooper!!!!

[@kellybasham3113]

Love your videos

[@richardkint6531]

I saw Alice Cooper in 2015 but he did not do this song. Controversy? The Killer album was one of the first albums as a preteen i bought. React to Dead Babies from that album. Definitely shock rock😅.

[@ilionreactor1079]

Welcome to our nightmare...
