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.

[@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.

[@iron_rush_theater1246]

Saw him a couple years ago (for the second time) and brought my daughter - she's now a FAN!

[@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 . . .

[@gretamckenzie4245]

Agreed... 🙂

[@ronwilcox7716]

HALO OF FLIES!!!

[@jgsrhythm100]

Billion Dollar Babies (73) but for the love of God the original studio version ( with original band) first!!!

[@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.

[@antoneogzewalla2040]

That whole album is a must. lol.

[@antoniocarlin5026]

Calico Cooper!!!

[@donaldballman2825]

Alice wrote songs about subjects no one would touch which is why he earned the title the King of shock rock

[@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

[@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.

[@MetalphysicalMel]

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

[@cmr8er8]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@TheSmittenman]

He quit in the late 70s. There was a concert video of it that i used to have which was for the album From The Inside. I do have the original Welcome To My Nightmare concert which is amazing.

[@tonyterryjohnson8603]

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

[@nancymjohnson]

Cooper is one of the nicest and smartest people I’ve ever hung out with. I’ve seen his shows at least 30 times.

[@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.

[@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.

[@robertaistrope9602]

I saw the billion dollar baby show when it came up to Canada. Took an 11 hour bus trip to get to the west coast (Vancouver) skipped school on the Friday just to see the show. I was only 13 ears old

[@erniejones5008]

Would have loved to have been there. But was only 2. I love Alice Cooper.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@cdnrednek1027]

Saw Alice Cooper in concert in the 70s, he was known for theatrical stage shows.

[@dianewillson1289]

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

[@veggietrish]

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

[@waitn4theharpazo]

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

[@sherricallahan2539]

I’ve seen Alice live about 15 times! Always a fantastic show and his songs are in so many different styles! Dig deeper! You won’t regret it!

[@justinneill5003]

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

[@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!!

[@douglasg.9271]

I love 70’s Alice !

[@ManuelRomero-h7b]

My rookie year was 1982 in Texas, I retired in 2016 in Nottingham, England from the vice unit. You don't get thicker skin you get thinner skinned. I can't watch this without getting a lump in my throat. You go to too many of these and get 100s of memories you wish someone else had. It never changed, you hear of men getting abused but I can honestly say I never saw it. Not once. At the end when he cuddles her, you feel like you want to protect all of them and make it better, but you can’t. That's what I see at the end. Great that you've done this reaction. 🍻

[@lynnefarruggio3925]

The woman is Caliope, his daughter. Met them both…they’re incredible. Never met a more kind, generous man. He’s a legend. ❤️

[@RichardWilson-be8zp]

Another great Alice Cooper ballad is I Never Cry. Give it a listen. You will surely enjoy it.

[@michaelpoynor3435]

“Halo of Flies”. Best Alice song ever.

[@donnasmith5942]

I love Alice Copper. My Brother who is alot older than me, was into Alice Cooper. He got me into his music!

[@StephenAllison-gl2ky]

Alice Cooper was my first concert. 1978. This was one of my favorite songs by him.

[@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

[@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.

[@theguster611]

The lady is not his daughter....this is from 1990 and that would make Calico 8 years old

[@pauldavesjr2375]

I've worked on his shows for a few and yes that is his wife at the time

[@csphoenix9]

Alice started in the late 60's

[@wpl8275]

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

[@terryashafer5961]

Cold Ethyl

[@jerrycunningham1820]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂!

[@christhrasher9892]

Great concert. He always puts on a great show.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@lancewright8652]

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

[@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”…

[@mattdeves1900]

YES! MORE, MORE, MORE ALICE COOPER PLEASE!

[@skibugy]

Alice Copper you saved my life do to my job and personal life i had to hear that song from the movie frozen [let it go ] several times a day for 2 years. To keep from losing my mind I started to pretend it was sung by Alice Cooper. Now I'd like to hear a cover by Alice Cooper. If your out there Alice Copper please cover that song from Frozen❤

[@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.

[@raramonty5217]

Alice Cooper 2 love songs I always loved, 1976 I Never Cry 1977 You And Me. I can say back in the day my mother was very surprised when she heard these songs on the radio and I told her they were Alice Cooper songs.

[@antoneogzewalla2040]

Alice Cooper is definitely known primarily as a hard rocker (even though this song and another slow one are among his biggest hits, along with "Schools out") but actually a surprisingly large number of his songs have a slower feel.

[@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

[@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. 👍

[@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!

[@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 . . .

[@susanliltz3875]

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

[@gretamckenzie4245]

agreed... 🙂

[@chrisoakley5830]

Cooper had 3 or 4 other ballads, similar to this one, that were all hit singles for him, in the 70s. They were very good songs.

[@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.

[@songattic9586]

His signature song was "School's Out". Had so many rockers, but also had hits with ballads "I Never Cry", "How You Gonna See Me Now" and " You And Me"

[@terryv2006]

Thank you. I’ve never seen this live. What a performance. I actually shed a tear. It was so powerful how he sang it first person from his soul. Then seemed to understand the consequences of his actions. Wow.

[@ChrisLegner-qp1yh]

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

[@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 🕊️☮️♾️😎🎸🤟🏼

[@user-gu7kk5zk2b]

Met him after a show in 71with the press. His fly was undone and I didn't tell him cause I couldn't decide if it was on purpose...Still feel the awkwardness of that moment! He was really nice and intelligent.

[@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.

[@booterspaw]

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

[@andysmith2417]

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

[@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

[@johnc1593]

Under my wheels. Alice Cooper. Rocker 👍🏽

[@davidgrantlloyd]

Great song. 'Trashes the World' was the first rock concert I attended (I think I was about 12). It was awesome! BTW I prefer this live version of 'Only Women Bleed' when he sings in the first-person narrative. It intensifies the drama.

[@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.

[@johncurtis7186]

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

[@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.

[@waynebrown-m7b]

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

[@stevefilley9765]

Brutal Planet LIVE.😊😊😊

[@skygazer858]

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

[@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

[@manofconstantsorrow]

Now "Knocking on Heavens Door" by GnR

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

[@gretamckenzie4245]

Wow... awesome...

[@reppost]

Ballad of Dwight Fry live is Alice at his theatrical best.

[@TomWard-s7t]

He is a consumate showman.

[@rebel3906]

Balled of Dwight Fry live

[@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.

[@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.

[@roncypert8255]

Great Alice Cooper song. I keep telling everyone to check out Generation Landslide from the Billion Dollar Babies album. Weird, eclectic AC song with a killer harmonica solo, followed by a nasty guitar solo to wrap up an absolute banger!!!

[@jamesmcclain5005]

This is ok, but the song 'I'm Eighteen' LIVE is SMASHING!

[@michaelmcnamara879]

Alice can do ballads as well as the best of them

[@frankscarborough1428]

Love this song. Thanks

[@honeybadger713]

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

[@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.

[@jamberry1369]

"Halo of Flies" -- Alice Cooper (audio) is a 8 minute masterpiece!

[@bradbennie468]

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

Need to take a listen to I Never Cry.

[@johnsrensen3366]

I like his softy track he has a great voice ❤

[@SteveBurkitt-rg4nj]

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

[@kellybasham3113]

Love your videos

[@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.😄

[@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!🤘🌞🌵🌆

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

[@bpalmer3421]

You really need to check out the live song called FEED MY FRANKENSTEIN. Talk about theater and stage creativity. Especially with the giant Frankenstein!!!
