Alice Cooper is a legend, this song is a true classic

[@rickwelch8464]

For his antics, definitely not for his voice or his band.

[@jgsrhythm100]

Hey all, if anyone is on Patreon please share this. Kindly watch my suggested live track and let you knoe if you agree. Thanks!!!!!!! For a truly shocking live clip " Ballad of Dwight Frye" live from Trashes the World. 1) His big hits are not his darkest and most theatrical live. Suggested tracks Ballad of Dwight Frye (71) Billion Dollar Babies ( 73) 3) Unlike Rob Zombie or Marlym Manson his material is quite diverse from crooner Ballads to " I Love The Dead" 3) originally was a band named Alice Cooper, Everyone assumed the singer Vincent' was Alice. He legally changed his name and became Alice Cooper. then became solo artist releasing 4 brilliant concept albums 75- 79 very different from earliest.. Never stopped recording and touring to this day. 74 and still killing it live!!

[@stpnwlf9]

The shock rock factor was always an act - it was vaudeville, a visual circus onstage. But the reputation grew and suddenly, it was scandalous and parents were terrified, etc. This song is Alice making fun of that reputation. It was always exaggerated, but then it's a show and in his 70s, he still does a fantastic live show! I saw him at the Greek in LA in 2018 and loved every second! Personally, he is a very charming man who has counseled other younger rockers to help them through addiction problems. He's also a scratch golfer.

[@loudog2326]

Groucho Marx was a friend of Alice Cooper's, he actually figured it out and told Alice it was Vaudeville he got when nobody else did !!

[@stanleymyrick4068]

Never heard of nor considered Alice Cooper as shock rock. Just theatrical.

[@danhall2197]

Alice knew exactly what he was doing to get that pop music listener with just enough glam rock overtones to be unique. Smart dude.

[@boris2342]

Alices first album was released in 1969 The amazing thing about alice cooper is that even though he has written hundreds of songs There is not 1 swear word in any of them...

[@viclagina347]

Yeah but his live shows he used to take a chit on stage..... had a guillotine and would cut off his head.... it was pretty shocking stuff for the 70s

[@SRG1966]

Wrong, check out "Enough's Enough" from 1983.

[@daveheesen9174]

i think i heard him say on his radio show that he has written "1000s of songs...most of the not particularly good"

[@randysandford4033]

Graduated '69 and still remember his songs. He did get a little darker with "Dead Babies Can Take Care of Themselves". Alice was a preachers kid who left the church for a period but has since returned to the fold.

[@erasta7011]

Alice Cooper goes to Hell?

[@Cadinho93]

"Billion Dollar Babies" has one of the best drum patterns ever. It's a total earworm. Also, you guys will never fully understand the appeal of Alice Cooper until you witness a live performance from his heyday. You can find video footage from the '70s on KZbin. The theatrics of his stage performances will make you appreciate his music much more.

[@larrysaenz8964]

[@humphreygruntwhistle3946]

Billion Dollar Babies is a great song. The entire album is fantastic. I was in junior high when BDB was released. Gave it a LOT of spins on my turntable.

[@stevedavis5704]

Everyone who doesn’t know about Alice Cooper just thinks of him as a rocker but he was good enough to be the guest star on the Muppet Show episode.

"School's Out" has to be my favourite Alice Cooper track...the classic line "We can't even think of a word that rhymes" just cracks me up every time.

[@Verlopil]

Alice Cooper had a stage persona that scared parents, but is really harmless by today's standards. In person he was good friends with Glen Campbell and one of the nicest guys.

[@josebustamante9182]

Not just harmless, but rather a really good person. Been sober since the 80s and actually has helped many people in the road to sobriety, including his band mate Nita Strauss and several members of megadeth and even runs a recovery program for troubled teens. He also ran a fundraiser to help a fan pay his house mortgage. Alice is the textbook definition of “do not judge a book by its cover”

[@amb2745]

Alice and Glen were golfers. They occasionally played golf together. Imagine Alice and Glen on the course playing golf.

[@cajunsushi]

They also shared their Christian faith with each other and enjoyed playing golf until Glen was unable to play before his passing.

The fact that Alice managed to kick his demons AND hang around for so long AND continue to record is literally a miracle.

[@bobcunningham5288]

I have always felt that Alice Cooper was able to have a bit of a tongue in cheek approach to his music. His music often makes me smile.

Alice Cooper was an entertainer more than a rocker. He was like a David Bowie and vaudeville acts sing and dance. Put on a show kind of guy. ❤️

LoL Let me explain my Aunt was alsoy Foster Mother worked in concert promotions when I was a kid all through my early 20s in Dallas.

"Under My Wheels" is AC at his hard-rocking best and "School's Out" is iconic since it's still heard every May and June more than 50 years after it first came out.

[@jgsrhythm100]

It's great but she specifically requested a live video thst displays shocking theatrics. His biggest hits are not that " Ballad of Dwight Frye" Live from Tradhes the World" This is exactly what she requested. .

[@newbluemoon4903]

Alice Cooper’s sense of humour comes through in this song. I’ve enjoyed his syndicated radio show, “Nights With Alice Cooper,” for nearly 20 years. He really is a down-to-earth Rock legend with some great stories from the Rock n’ Roll world.

[@rosshageman951]

Nights with Alice Cooper is a fine show. I get a kick out of the stories of fellow performers he tells. And these stories are not salacious or mean spirited. Plus Alice is a golfer so that makes me happy. He traded his alcohol addiction for a golf addiction.

[@crowbarr66]

The Ballad of Dwight Fry is a classic

[@Rhiannon011]

"The Original Alice Cooper bands" album "Love it to death" was my very favorite, so many great songs, especially "The Ballad of Dwight Frye" (the original from this album not with Alice doing it on the stage alone in later years) and "I'm Eighteen", "Is it my body" ...I like Alice but without his original band members, it's more like "A theatrics side show" rather than a great band and songs..

[@keithroberts4952]

This is one of Alice's best vocals! It is a classic song! Hearing Alice and seeing Alice are two different things. He is the father of shock rock. You mentioned Rob zombie earlier. Alice did it first!! Alice Cooper got signed because when they played in a club for the first time, people left!! Frank zappa, who was at that particular gig, saw them, loved what he witnessed and signed them!

[@stratacatster3956]

Thanks you guys!!! Yes Alice has done every genre and this was early 70s. He has done other stuff more dark or heavy but he always is fun and his sense of humor shows through even in the darker or more metal ones. His sound has been so diverse over the years that you never know what sound you might get from him. He’s a great guy who is friends with so many musicians, he even was friends with Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon and others whose names don’t start with J

[@ragabashmoon1551]

Yea, two of my favorites are Zorro's Ascent and The Man Behind the Mask.

[@johnjohn-xf8nh]

I'm an Alice Cooper fan but lean towards his earlier work. As you dive in as you said you wanted to, you'll find he went through different stages and tried different styles. He is amazing to have had such a long and successful career. Please check out the studio version of Schools out. You want power with a jazzy feel? You'll get it. And listen to the bass especially in the beginning. This song is just as fresh today as it was when I first heard too long ago, lol. You guys great, thank you.

[@andyfletcher3561]

I'm really glad they did the studio version of this...

[@stanleymyrick4068]

I loved his Temptation album, although it doesn't get much play.

[@marybaillie8907]

This song was released in 1973 from Alice's 6th studio album, Billion Dollar Babies. It was written for friends snd family who were critical of his stage antics. Apparently it upset his Mother's church group. So this was written to let them all know he was gonna to his own thing and they could lump it. Great tune by Alice, with great back up musicians. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

[@tinamarcum6170]

You need to check out his song "Only Women Bleed." It's not what you might think it's as close to a ballad as Alice could get. It's a song that makes you feel for a woman, almost makes me cry.

[@greglegakis4177]

Not true. He had 3 other ballads that were bigger hits. You and Me, I Never Cry and How You Gonna See me Now. All hits.

“Welcome to my Nightmare” , “Eighteen” and “Schools Out” are 3 of his best known songs. “Cold Ethyl” is a great song about an odd topic (you’ll figure it out). “Steven” and “Years Ago” highlight some of Alice Cooper’s more theatrical productions. You won’t be disappointed

[@coconutislanddrones]

Alice puts on one of the best live shows you'll ever see. If he's playing near you go along, you won't regret it.

[@sharkbjs]

I was in 9th grade and this album entitled "Billion Dollar Babies" was a must-have. No filler at all. Every track is a classic. It went to No. 1 in the U.S. and U.K. and was certified platinum. It also produced four hits which was very unusual in 1973.

[@Paladin70]

Saw his Welcome To My Nightmare and Alice Cooper Goes To Hell concerts back in the 70s. The neat thing was that these albums and their concert were of a theme that told a dark story from start to finish and the live shows were extravagant visual productions with tremendous musicianship. To anyone who only ever heard his songs but never saw his show, you don’t know what you missed out on. Truly unique concert experiences that literally brought bad dreams to life!!!

[@starlette570]

This is more the Alice Cooper I love than "Poison", which was his 80s phase. This song is 70s, when Alice Cooper was freaking amazing and raw. They had some songs then that I promise you would NOT like (all for shock value) but you should definitely dig into more of the 70s stuff. Under My Wheels, Desperado, I Never Cry - all safe picks lol. He even has some great ballads, like How Ya Gonna See Me Now - a song he wrote to his wife when he was about to be released from a mental hospital (yes, he was really there and wrote my FAVORITE album about his time there) and he was worried how she was going to view him when he returned home.

[@gardnerdan17]

Alice Cooper's music has changed a lot over the years. Their 1st album was '69 & he is still going today. For more great songs check out "Schools Out", "Under My Wheels", "Guilty", "Go To Hell" or "Serious".

Alice Cooper was one of my first concerts at MSG in NY. He was so great!

[@lisemzarate4029]

Dead babies was my first Alice bomb, not sure you guys are ready for that one 😲 Alice's "shock" value really refers to his image, but it's the lyrics themselves that it described more. His topics, and themes are the Shock factor, and remember the era, late 60's to early 80's, he was one of a kind and Amber is absolutely correct and I think a video will tell a more interesting story 😁

[@starlette570]

Dead Babies had a shocking title but wasn't a bad song at all. I liked how he used shock to bring attention to child abuse and child neglect.

[@lisemzarate4029]

@@starlette570 but who else was talking so openly about it in the late 70's?

[@rebeccawilson9933]

I think my favorite album is "From the Inside" which was written from his perspective in a mental ward. He was using this to literally get out all of his emotions as as he went through treatment fir his alcoholism. It gas some of his softest songs like "How You Gonna See Me Now." Ot also has some....interesting song topics. The music is amazing, but if you listen to the lyrics.... Another amazing song, and album is Welsome to My Nightmare which has the incredible "Only Women Bleed." Let Alice take you down a new rabbit hole

[@danielbenincasa770]

Saw him in concert in the 70's.....He's one of my fav's..... My son when he was 13 years old I turned him on to Alice. He got into him. Which was cool cause I was 40 when he was 13. I was blessed growing up with music from late 60's and all my teenage years were all in the 70's. I had it good to jam in the 80's which I was in my 20's and then in my 30's in the 90's and beyond. I've at least been to 100 concerts. I was a party animal. Great time & life I had and having still fun in my 60's.

[@russrollins9978]

Alice Cooper has some amazing music. I've been listening to him since my high school days in the seventies. Some of his stuff is dark, yet he was on the Muppet Show and did an amazing job working with the puppets, and performed Welcome to My Nightmare, and You and Me. You would really like You and Me. His stage shows are things of legend and you should check out some of his live performances.

[@doncarlton4858]

Alice's favorite Glenn Campbell story is when rocker Eddie Van Halen approached Coop and asked him if he could arrange guitar lessons for Eddie with Glenn Campbell!

[@DR_DOOM_3298]

Brief history lesson, Alice Cooper was originally the band's name & they released 7 studio albums between 1969 & 1973. Their first two albums are lesser known & don't contain any hits, then in 1971 they teamed up with young hot shot producer Bob Ezrin, who would help them create a string of chart topping albums with a slew of songs that are still played on classic rock radio today. Ezrin would later go on to produce KISS' Destroyer, Music From The Elder & Revenge albums as well as Pink Floyd's The Wall , A Momentary Lapse Of Reason & The Division Bell. Alice went solo in 1975 with the release of the classic album Welcome To My Nightmare. As a solo artist he would become a pop culture icon in the late 70's appearing on game shows like Hollywood Squares and many variety shows such as the Muppet Show. Other must listen Alice Copper songs are Is It My Body, I'm Eighteen, Ballad Of Dwight Fry, Caught In A Dream, Elected, Billion Dollar Babies, Hello Hurray, Generation Landslide, Sick Things, I Love The Dead, Under My wheels, Halo Of Flies, dead Babies, Desperado, Be My Lover, School's, Luney Tune, Blue Turk, My Stars, Hard Hearted Alice, Teenage Lament 74, Muscle Of Love, Woman Machine, Welcome To My Nightmare, Only woman Bleed, Black Widow, Some Folks, Cold Ethyl, Department Of Youth, Go To Hell, I Never Cry, You And Me, Clones, Pain, Grim Facts, Model Citizen, Dance Yourself To Death.

Alice is now 75 and just released an album maybe 6 months ago and tours with his lovely wife in the act.

[@pattyestrada6]

Great song! (which reminds me, please react to Dazed and Confused the movie). Another of my favorites are “I’m Eighteen” and “School’s Out” (the latter is also on the Dazed and Confused soundtrack). This is early 70’s Alice Cooper, which I prefer….but there’s also “Feed My Frankenstein” which is 90’s Alice Cooper.

[@Messaiiina]

"Billion Dollar Babies" and "Welcome to my Nightmare" are both harder. Alice is awesome!

[@boballen818]

Alice becomes a tongue-in-cheek character that just won't die! His live performances he hangs himself, his head gets chopped off by a guillotine and he gets impaled by a very large needle. Then, he comes back for the next song! All in good fun but great shock rock. For a personal Alice Song please listen to "How You Going To See Me Now" the deals with him meeting his wife for a second time as a sober man when he was released from an asylum that his family had him committed to because his alcoholism was so bad. It is a beautiful and poignant song. They are still together today and they teach Sunday school. Lol Alice still tours often with Rob Zombie. It is a great show.

[@jgsheehan8810]

The ‘shock’ was partly him being a guy named Alice, although it was actually the name of the band originally. Then his stage show set almost like an old school vaudeville horror show complete with hanging and guillotine. It’s a blast. Plus a couple of songs that are dark/off colour. Try Welcome to my Nightmare, Department of Youth, Only Women Bleed, You and Me, I Never Cry, Under My Wheels and so many more

[@frankcanin5534]

Alice Cooper is a rock icon. The band he started was called Alice Cooper. He kept the name for himself. He does have a darker side. Check out some of his songs like “The Ballad Of Dwight Frye” and “I Love The Dead” or “Go To Hell”. His stage shows are so good. He is a performance artist. “Alice” only sings during his shows and never speaks until the end. In regard to his “dark side”, know this. Alice is a devout Christian. He and his wife work with many churches around the country. He is an advocate against drug and alcohol use. He is nothing like his stage show. The show is all for fun. If he comes your way, go see him. You will not be disappointed.

[@vicprovost2561]

Alice is always fire, try the Ballad of Dwight Fry, another great tune of his, the 70s were Alice in peak form, the original band is killer, Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶

[@laritownsend2527]

I saw his Welcome to My Nightmare concert in MI many yrs ago. He had so much going on on the stage I know I missed some good stuff. I call him the first MTV because his stage was set up as a TV screen and he walked thru it, as it came to a close up of his mouth the red carpet was his tongue. Blew me away. Thanks for the flashback y'all.

[@VicMikesvideodiary]

Another really good song by Alice Cooper is Only Women Bleed. Caused a lot of controversy when it came out because some people misunderstood the lyrics. Alice Cooper along with KISS really propelled the horror theme in music, but because of the time frame they were in they were never near as hard as someone like Rob Zombie.

Yes!! When doing Alice Cooper you must do the old 70s stuff. Everybody (even the younger generation) knows "School's Out" as they sing it at the top of their lungs, or "I'm Eighteen". The album cover for "Welcome to my Nightmare" used to scare me (heck, Alice himself scared me) and my older sisters would sit on me and force my to look at it or listen to it then I would cry and tell my mom I was ready for my nap just to get away from it. Now, I see the album for the masterpiece it is and I am so glad I had older sisters to expose me to the good old classic rock n roll.Roll. Oh, and another Motorcity original. Detroit love.

Alice Cooper was a very talented band in the 70's. From folk-rock ballads like "I Never Cry' and "Only Women Bleed", to shock rock, which must be seen live with songs like "Dead Babies" and/or "The Ballad of Dwight Frye/Killer" and rock anthems like "School's Out" and "Billion Dollar Babies" or "Halo of Flies" or catchy pop rock tunes like "Be My Lover" and "Feed My Frankenstein". The live performances are wildly entertaining.

Saw Motley Crue at Honda Center in Anaheim about 6 years ago. Alice Cooper opened, this was the first song. Blew me away, he sounds incredible live. Cool night of music!

[@armandourso1526]

It was a huge hit in 1974, when Alice Cooper Band came the first time here in Brazil.

[@targetshootr]

They wrote a lot of great songs... Ballad of Dwight Frye, Under My Wheels etc.

[@SnKKS]

Love Alice he has lots of great songs, lots of great lyrics and styles of music. Definitely worth a delve into his repertoire. 👍

[@soniaanderson5204]

Alice Cooper been around since late 60's, and pretty much did an album a year ever since so you got some catching up to do!!!! And yes as years go by the sound changes to keep up with new genre and new fans. Fun fact his wife and daughter are part of the show and perform on stage. My all time favorite albums are "Welcome to my nightmare" " Goes to hell" and "Lace and whiskey" . BTW he is on tour atm so you may want to check it out, he does have his own webpage with touring place and date, as well of link to pre-buy tickets.

[@elischultes6587]

School’s Out, I’m Eighteen, Frankenstein, & God gave Rock and Roll are all top notch Alice Cooper songs

[@paulcwalina7910]

One of his biggest hits from his early years. Great song. His best album (imho) was Welcome to My Nightmare. If you're looking for 'darker' Alice Cooper (real name Vincent Furnier and son of a pastor), try this album, which is one of the best concept albums of the rock era. Some songs to try are 'Welcome to My Nightmare,' 'Cold Ethyl,' 'Only Women Bleed (a ballad),' and 'Department of Youth.' This album is in my Top 5 of all time. The 'shock' part comes from his live performances, which have featured a guillotine among other things.

[@bertisjordan1085]

I still love the Welcome To My Nightmare album!

[@bobdelp2023]

THAT ALBUM ( BILLION DOLLAR BABIES ) COVER YOU GUYS WAS ALICE'S MULTI PLATINUM ROCKER FOR SURE! 😊CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THE TITLE TRACK BUT THE WHOLE ALBUM ROCKS 😊

[@GetBackJoe1969]

ALICE COOPER is so deep, you could never guess what is in store for you. When you have been around for 50 years you have a lot of phases. He is a natural born showman. Listen to “Ballad of Dwight Fry” “Desparado” “Under my Wheels” “School’s Out”…..TBC

[@bentindle9036]

My mom was shocked l listened to KISS. She would have been beyond shocked if she ever heard Alice Cooper.

[@Purplespice250]

YESSSSSSSSS 👏 FINALLY!!!!

[@surlechapeau]

Jay & Amber, his "Schools Out" was an anthem for all students! 70s Alice Cooper was better 80's Alice which you reacted to 7 months ago imo.

[@erinb.5103]

Billion dollar baby- great Alice Cooper favorite!

[@damagedpotato]

Despite 40years of excellence and the impact he has had on the music community, the man has never let that go to his head. When he was rally starting off he would play the Michigan state fair alot and would place a lot of high school dances if asked. And even not too long ago (about 8-10 years I believe), he was still doing surprise spots at the state fair and working with schools. He helps up and coming stars, does a radio show to share the older rock he loves, does charity work, etc. I think most importantly to me being a michigander is despite him having a restaurant out of state, he never forgot where he came from and always shows us love which cannot be said for some michigan performers

[@theguster611]

AC is very diverse and can pull of many different portrayals in his music. Your reaction is typical to the folks that never heard him..."I didn't know" "or expect" ...this is what has made him a legend. FYI he has history with everyone of those people in the photos on the wall behind you, from Sinatra to Hendrix....they all crossed paths with AC and has gained much respect of him along the way. He has more respect in the music world than most realize.

[@slw59]

The original Alice Cooper lineup was truly great. They made 4 masterpiece albums: Love it to Death(1971), Killer(1971), Schools Out(1972), and Billion Dollar Babies(1973). I recommend checking out their song “Caught in a Dream”.

[@balansboy]

Alice is such a treasure. His music and songs are great. But as a person, he is very different than his stage persona. He is a devout Christian. Reads the Bible daily and leads bible study. Plays a ton of golf. He is very generous and does a lot of charity work. He was best of friends with Glenn Campbell before his passing (they shared being recovering addicts and helped each other. Alice has been sober since 1983). And from all accounts, just one of the nicest people around.

[@sallysharp3845]

"Under My Wheels" was always one of my favorite songs by Alice.

[@Rob-eo5ql]

Alice Cooper’s best friend was the country star, the late Glen Campbell. They were neighbors, their families vacationed together.

[@sumonjamal1653]

This is old Alice Cooper from 1973... the original band, which was Alice Cooper (vocals), Michael Bruce (guitar/ keys), Dennis Dunaway (bass), Neal Smith (drums) and (the late) Glen Buxton (guitar)... this album 'Billion dollar babies' charted at #1 and was a platinum selling record in the US and made the band international stars (Escpecially after their 1970 single 'Eighteen' became their first major hit). However, success and egos and clashes led to the Alice Cooper band splitting up by 1975 after the album 'Muscle of love'. The band became Alice Cooper in the 60's and got the tag "shock rock" because their singer Vince Furnier (renamed himself Alice Cooper) would wear black eye makeup that made him look deranged... and would perform like a villain in a movie w/ props onstage. It literally scared the club audiences, who would leave during their set... It was the work of manager Shep Gordon and producer Bob Ezrin (who would later work w/ Pink Floyd, Kiss, Deep Purple, etc.) who reinvented the sound of the Alice Cooper band in 1970/ '71 that yielded the album 'Love it to death' and made Alice Cooper a big attraction... (Both Gordon and Ezrin still work w/ Alice Cooper today) Alice Cooper (the singer) decided to record solo and released 'Welcome to my nightmare' in 1975 and put together an elaborate theatrical tour to support the album... It was a huge success and another platinum record, so Alice Cooper has been solo since then, but has also recorded quite a few duds in his career. He went harder and heavier in 1986 w/ the album 'Constrictor'... Finally, the 1989 album 'Trash' got a hit single 'Poison' and his career was back in gear. Alice Cooper is still actively recording & touring w/ all the theatrics in his stage show at age 74.

[@Maltiris]

An Alice Cooper concert is a rock opera its a true show. He still tours.

[@lynnlafever1810]

I saw Alice with Suzie Quattro in 1977, San Diego Sports Area. He pioneered elaborate stage shows. All kinds of props (like a guillotine), moving platforms, lighting, pyro, costumes & makeup, etc. "Billion Dollar Babies" was a darker song, that was also a hit.

[@louieflash7190]

I loved this song growing up a ROCKER. You can't be hard all the time. Sometimes you have to go a little soft.😉

[@JMD1965]

'Under My Wheels' is pure Alice Cooper perfection!!

[@lidlett9883]

I was 9 years old when I saw my first Alice Cooper concert. My sister who was 11 years older took me because she had to watch me. Alice was the first to use face paint. The dark face paint is because many of his songs have a darkness to them. Such as Steven.

[@jamesjohnston9225]

Saw Alice Cooper's show at Griffith Park in L.A. Not calling it a concert cause it was more of a theatrical presentation. Really good show.

[@grubbermeister]

"Second Coming/Ballad of Dwight Fry", "Sick Things", "Halo of Flies", "You Drive Me Nervous" - can't go wrong with the Alice Cooper Band!

[@waynewolverton636]

He was The Original Shock Rocker, the Inspiration for KISS, and MUCH More talented!

[@davidhutchinson5233]

Saw him live in the mid 80s during his come back tour. He was great. A true showman.

[@BoyNamedSue4]

Alice Cooper has had one of the longest careers. His sounds changed over the years but definitely a great artist to do a deep dive on.

[@dirtyburd71]

I had speakers in the bed of my truck with a few high school friends and SCHOOL'S OUT playing as loud as things could go in '78, driving down main street after graduation! Memories..... 🤩

[@I.am.Iain-81]

'Hey Stoopid' is an amazing song from Alice Cooper and has a more harder riff to it. Definitely check that one out! 🤘🤘🤘

[@keithdods611]

This and Schools Out were how I discovered Alice Cooper . A great guy legendary performer.

[@rray848]

I saw Alice in concert last year... He puts on a great GREAT concert! A lot of on stage pageantry. He has a female touring guitarist Nita Strauss. She kicks ass. Alice makes a cameo in the movie "Wayne's World"... 🤘😁 "We're not worthy!!!" 😁🤘

[@jacobkubacki2719]

Cooper’s sound changes as the decades change. Heavy Alice is his Brutal Planet or Dragontown albums in the early 2000’s. This song came out in the 70’s. I play a lot of Alice Coopers catalog on my bass & love the variety of era’s to pick from. To get the whole experience you have to catch a concert.

[@cfonthehill1256]

Alice Coopers best friend was Glen Campbell. Cooper is a showman. Turns that off and goes back to being dad, playing golf and going to church. Lights come back on and he’s back to badass.

[@MSSmith1022]

If I remember correctly this was released in 1973 which was still early in the "Shock Rock" scene which was more about how people looked rather than how they sounded, KISS was also listed as a "Shock Rock" band. Listen to "Welcome to my nightmare".

[@toenhev17]

I'm not a big Alice Cooper fan but I've always liked him ever since I heard this, it takes me back to my school days
