Artist.........: Alice Cooper

Artist Info....:



Alice Cooper born Vincent Damon Furnier; February 4, 1948 is an American 

rock singer,songwriter and musician whose career spans more than four 

decades. With a stage show that features guillotines, electric chairs, 

fake blood, boa constrictors and baby dolls, Cooper has drawn equally 

from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock to pioneer a grandly 

theatrical and violent brand of heavy metal that was designed to shock.



Alice Cooper was originally a band consisting of Furnier on vocals and 

harmonica, lead guitarist Glen Buxton, Michael Bruce on rhythm guitar, 

Dennis Dunaway on bass guitar,and drummer Neal Smith. The original Alice 

Cooper band broke into the international music mainstream with the 1971

hit "I'm Eighteen" from the album Love it to Death, which was followed 

by the even bigger single "School's Out" in 1972. The band reached their 

commercial peak with the 1973 album Billion Dollar Babies.



Furnier's solo career as Alice Cooper, adopting the band's name as his 

own name, began with the 1975 concept album Welcome to My Nightmare. In 

2008 he released Along Came a Spider, his 18th solo album. Expanding from 

his original Detroit rock roots, over the years Cooper has experimented 

with many different musical styles, including conceptual rock, art rock, 

hard rock, new wave, pop rock, experimental rock and industrial rock.In 

recent times he has returned more to his garage rock roots.



Alice Cooper is known for his social and witty persona offstage, The Rolling 

Stone Album Guide going so far as to refer to him as the world's most 

"beloved heavy metal entertainer".He helped to shape the sound and look of 

heavy metal, and is seen as being the person who "first introduced horror 

imagery to rock'n'roll, and whose stagecraft and showmanship have permanently 

transformed the genre".Away from music, Cooper is a film actor, a golfing 

celebrity, a restaurateur and, since 2004, a popular radio DJ with his 

classic rock show Nights with Alice Cooper.On VH1's "100 Greatest artists 

of Hard Rock", Cooper was ranked #20.



Album Info...:



Part commercial metal, part glam, part power pop this is a wonderful 

cornucopia of early 70s kitsch, immaculately played by one hell of a 

tight band. Alice Cooper and his band were a kind of music hall Rolling 

Stones, often descendinglymore… into intentional self-parody. Nowhere is 

this better illustrated to on this album, their own Sgt Pepper". The 

opening numbers are so appealing - the vaudeville first track "Hello Hooray"; 

the disturbingly titled but catchy "Raped And Freezin'"; the barnstorming, 

magnificent "Elected" and the slightly menacing title track. On listening 

to these cuts you find yourself thinking "My God this was a great album", much 

to your surprise. The quality is continued through "Unfinished Sweet" with 

its obvious James Bond theme plagiarism; and the amusing and comercially 

rocking "No More Mr Nice Guy" with Cooper's tongue firmly in cheek. 

"Generation Landslide" is intoxicating despite it's similarities in its 

fade out to "Sympathy For The Devil". The album drifts away a bit after that 

as Alice has to play up the old gruesome bit with "Sick Things" and "I Love 

The Dead". Nevertheless "Billion Dollar Babies" should be deservedly up there 

as an iconic, zeitgiest-defining album.
