That guitar solo is defiantly killer, I will have to check some of his early 80's stuff out. |
Alice Cooper is cool. I mostly like what he released between 1970-1975, though, aside from a few tracks. Under my Wheels is awesome, as is No More Mister Nice Guy and Cold Ethyl. :)

So...this is musical related, but not about Alice Cooper music. A legit fan, I believe, can help me here.
I need to find a Special Forces t-shirt. One that is not from the original tour and doesn't cost a small fortune-- because that is all I have found in my first round of searches. Can anyone point me in the right direction? A certain huge AC fan will be very thankful on his birthday and I will be a hero. |

I dunno if I talk about it too much, but I'm a genuinely huge Alice Cooper fan, from the band to the man. Just got to thinking about all my favorite tracks and had to hear them, and from there it always snowballs. I love this stuff so much, sone songs are utterly brilliant.
Alice Cooper as a band was an ensemble of some seriously outstanding musicians in glen Buxton and Dennis Dunaway(sp). One of the greatest rhythm sections IMO. ThCooper band albums are all classics, but I'd rank Killer and School's Out at the top. ****, Love it to Death too. "The Ballad of Dwight Fry" and "Black Juju" are genius. I do love a whole lotta material from Aluce Cooper's solo project too. Welcome to My Nightmare us the go to there. And then he's got some nice material scattered throughout the late 70s/early 80s, a lot which gets overlooked. It's honestly hit or miss, but whatever. In my life I have logged in so much listening and it easily ranks high up in stuff I've listened to most Favorite tracks: Caught in a Dream Luney Tune Desperado Killer Halo of Flies Ballad of Dwight Fry Raped and Freezing Generation Landslide Dead Babies |
Trash was one of my fav albums as a child, still love a lot of his stuff now.

Poison (uncensored) - vidéo Dailymotion |
Poison is kinda okay, I think it's one of the better late 80s cheesy and lame power ballads at least.
It is nowhere near the quality he/they were dishing out |
I don't care that much about him, but when I was 13 or 14 my dad took me to a concert and it was a great, extremely entertaining show and I had tons of fun.

I am a big fan of AC. I have many of his songs in my iTunes library.
My favourite album is Billion Dollar Babies. My favourite individual song is You Drive Me Nervous from the Killer album. His (and his *band´s*!) music from the years 1971 thru 1974 were his best. |
I tend to like his first few albums but then he gets too wierd for my taste.........

The Alice Cooper Band (which is in the Rock HOF) released seven albums and had one of the best four album runs in the history of music; 'Love It To Death', 'Killer', 'School's Out', 'Billion Dollar Babies'. I would not call 'School's Out' essential but the other three certainly are.
The solo years began with 'Welcome To My Nightmare' and inconsistent music became the norm shortly thereafter ('75 - '83). In Alice's defense, the music industry was equally inconsistent with disco, punk, new wave and arena rock all competing for attention. Bonus info, Alice Cooper the solo performer is not in the Rock HOF. In order to survive, Alice needed to define himself instead of trying to adapt to the musical landscape. He did this with the '86 release of 'Constrictor'. Alice was back to being menacing and was flanked by Rambo inspired Kane Roberts on guitar. A funny thing happened, one of the biggest music trends of the mid/late '80's (glam metal) was a trend that Alice helped inspire. Not only was Alice relevant, he even had hit single (Poison). 'Poison' charted at #7 in the U.S. which equaled 'School's Out' as the highest charting single of Alice's career. The song was #2 in the U.K. becoming his highest charting song there. Most of Alice's albums since have had a couple keepers and a few of the releases are pretty good albums. I recommend; 'The Eyes Of Alice Cooper' ('03), 'Dirty Diamonds' ('05), 'Detroit Stories' ('21), 'Road' ('23). Do you know about Hollywood Vampires? The original 'Hollywood Vampires' were a bunch of heavy drinking musicians that would party together (Keith Moon, Ringo Starr, Micky Dolenz, Harry Nilsson and John Lennon). The band Hollywood Vampires includes Alice Cooper, Joe Perry, Johnny Depp and Tommy Henriksen. Their debut album ('15) is a killer. All songs are by deceased musicians. I still go see Alice live and I always have a good time. See him while you can because he won't be around forever. |
