I bought this album in '77 at a record store in Big Bear. I was 12. My parents weren't exactly thrilled. A year later my folks took me to Las Vegas for the first time. They said they'd take me to any show I chose. Alice happened to be there so of course I chose him. True to their word, we saw him Saturday night and my folks ended up enjoying the show almost as much as I did. RIP Mom and Pop and Bless You Coop.
My parents didn't like Alice Cooper Band. You were lucky. I believe I'm the same age....10 in '73. Dad refused to let me buy Billion Dollar Babies because on the back it has the names of songs like "Sick Things" and "I love the Dead." 😂 Did you catch Alice on Snoop Sisters? LOL!
I seen him for the first time in 77 I think too at the checkeredome in St Louis Missouri and that's where the blues play there was no four seats where the ice was usually is all open look like Bourbon Street with all the lights around the stage around the rink what a good show remember it like it was yesterday still have the flyer from the concert got my tickets at Orange Julius that was at Northwest plaza shopping mall.
Alice Cooper was my first concert. $5.00 TICKET!! Lincoln, Ne. I was 15. Took my sisters. Age 13, and 12. Our dad drove us to Lincoln from Omaha. And he waited in the car the whole concert. My dad! What an amazing thing for him to do. A great memory.
Bee sound like you really had a great dad not only did he allow you and your siblings go to this concert he waited in the car for you until it was over. That is classic !
That’s me back sitting in my Blacklight and Strobe light, and all my posters lit up, burning one and jamming to Alice! Now I’m an old man thinking about the days gone by still jamming to Alice!
I am going to see Alice in concert tomorrow. Can't wait. I'm 65 and played this song when I was 18. Lol So brilliant along with School's out and was a sophomore. So excited. He's a real performer.
I saw Alice in ‘75 and then two more times (including Welcome to my Nightmare tour) It was glorious. My youngest brother (whose no longer with us) painted Alice on our bedroom wall. Black lights, strobe lights, and a small record player spinning ‘killer’ in the the dark. I love you, my brother, I love you Alice, and the amazing memories this album brings.
I’ve seen him with my son 56 and56. 4 times on stage live and we’ll do it again. There were a lot of little kids the last concert, they were excited. The songs on this album and many others are great. Welcome to My Nightmare, Ballad of Dwight Fry, Cold Ethyl, Feed My Frankenstein, etc,…
My grandfather gave me a bunch if records when I was in high school, this one was among them and forever changed how I heard music. Keep on rocking people!! 🤘🔥
It has become a favorite of mine, too. I bought it when I was young and can’t say I dislike any song on the album. I can think of a few albums like that like Aja by Steely Dan or Rocks by Aerosmith, any Zeppelin Album, etc.
I CAN SHOW YOU TOBS OF KILLER MUSIC FROM THIS ERA. MUSIC WAS ABOUT THE MUSIC BACK THEN. YOU HAD TO BE FRESH AND YOU COULDNT SOUND LIKE ANYONE ELSE. SIDE NOTE I DRESSED AS ALICE COOPER IN 72 WENT TO SCHOOL.

I just found out a couple days ago a childhood friend of mine died. We used to party and listen to this album, and here it pops up on my YT feed. Strange. RIP my friend.
The old days, about 1972, someone called on a Friday night. When I answered they hung up. They did it a 2nd time. This was before cell phones. I set up my brother's stereo and put on Alice Cooper's Killer album with Under My Wheels ready to play with the volume full blast. The phone rang again. I started the record player at the same time picking up the receiver and putting it to the speaker. Whoever it was didn't like Alice Cooper because they didn't call back. 😶🌫😜💥 Alice Cooper was the first concert I went to. New Orleans, 1973.
Saw Alice Cooper in 1978 with some chick from NYC...some nightclub chick from a bar called CBGBS...unfortunately Philadelphia being Philadelphia they booed her off stage...they threw ...what I was guessing beer cups...she was wearing her signature leapord skin outfit...
When I was 16[1988] I bought this cassette. My friends and I were learning as much guitar(Heavy Metal, Glam Metal, Classic Rock) as possible. I then found that staying close with my family would make all things possible! Thanks Coop.
Alice will be played 1000 years from now when we are in a different solar system and smokin better and kynder Jesus weed! Let the good times roll every time you play this album!
A week before my 14th birthday, Alice was touring about 30 minutes away. It just so happened to be the same town as my favorite restaurant. Best Birthday present ever
Saw Alice Cooper at Maple Leaf Gardens on New Year's Eve, 1971. The extravaganza also featured Edgar Winter's White Trash, Dr. John, and a few Canadian bands. I think I was 15 at the time; my girlfriend, 14. I failed to meet the curfew that New Year's Eve, much to her father's annoyance.
The wild age....18,school out, no more mr nice guy and muscle of love my favorites in this nice copilation album. I lost the long play album but i have on cd yet!
Alice was a profound influence on me, used to listen to early albums in my room in front of a mirror, and put on his makeup, including the snakeskin lips. Got this album when it came out, only wish it had “I Love the Dead” on it. Saw Alice in concert with Orianthi as his guitarist, I felt I was watching two superstars. Such great memories.
This and Billion Dollar Babies were the first two Alice Cooper albums I ever owned. The first line up up to Wlecome To My Nightmare is the CLASSIC Alice Cooper line up, but I've been an Alice Cooper fan all my life.
I WAS AT THIS CONCERT IN 74 - MAYBE THAT IS WHAT TEENAGE LAMENT 74 MEANS, HUH - IT SAYS AT THE VERY END THAT AFTER AN HOUR, THE CROWD DISPERSED (LIE) WE AND MOST PPL THERE BANGED THEIR FEET FOR 3 HOURS, WE STAYED 3.5 HOURS PAST. Alice Bombed in Toledo Toledo - Pelted by fireworks and debris, Alice Cooper recently walked off their "Holiday Show" at the Toledo Sports Arena. According to Ashley Pandel, Cooper's publicist, "Alice felt if they continued, there could be another Altamont." Guitarist Michael Bruce was reportedly cut on the face after fireworks thrown from the audience shattered an overhead light bar. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where a particle of metal was removed from an eye. He suffered no serious injuries. Alice and the rest of the band left the arena shortly after their walkoff. During a half-hour wait - while the audience lingered, waiting for resumption of the show - seven carloads of police were summoned to join 20 off-duty cops at the auditorium to control the near sell-out crowd of 8,000. "Security at the concert was non-existent," charged James Randi, who plays the executioner in the band's "I Love Dead Things" (sic) act. "There was only a two-foot barrier to separate the crowd from the stage." Trouble began to develop even before Cooper appeared. Fireworks, including Roman candles, were set off during Z.Z. Top's opening set. Then, according to Mark Scheerer, newsman at WIOT-FM Toledo, "Alice got the first bars of 'Hello Hooray' out and got hit in the chest with either an egg or vegetables. He did a mock stagger and went on. Then people started throwing a variety of missiles at a fairly steady pace. Alice did the second number, 'Billion Dollar Babies,' and the lights went down. Alice told the people, 'We came to play, and we don't appreciate being targets.'" A cherry bomb, as Scheerer described it - arena manger Gerald Francis said it was an M-80, equal in power to one-eighth of a stick of dynamite - went off, shattered the light, and Bruce was hit and led offstage. Alice then decided to cancel, Pandel said, "before someone got killed." The band - and most witnesses - were unable to explain the violence. Pandel said the crowd seemed more "bewildered" than angry at anything. A crush of people directly in front of the stage, he said, began pushing forward, shoving matches began "and then things were being thrown." Scheerer said Toledo rock fans had no history of violence. "It was just a handful of malcontents. I think they just felt it was obligatory. You know, to match his violence." Pandel disagreed. "Alice is only trying to relieve tension in kids. When they leave an Alice Cooper show, ther sure won't get into violence. They've seen it already." Ironically enough, the night before in Ann Arbor, Dennis Dunaway said before the concert, "We get off more on a Detroit-type crowd - crowds that physically get into a concert." After an hour's wait, the crowd was finally dispersed, according to police. No arrests or refunds were made.
Great band and immortal music! I was there! 1972 I was 17, saw cooper in concert in the 90’s at Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia; backup band was Journey (I think) got totally wasted on Black Jack, Red Bud and pure rock Coke! Now THAT was an experience! My informed field absorbed the essence and it was awesome! YEEHAW!!!
I bought this LP back in the 70s. As l no longer own a record player l haven't listened to it for many many years so this classic has resided in my loft with 100s of other LPs.
I cut so much school and listening to this was a big cool part I think i learned more from Alice's songs than school I seen the special forces tour it was so cool,,,love memories,,,
Oh,boy nothing like Alice cooper classics,,but these were some his best,,I bought this album at the record store, and played the shit ! Out of it!!especially "no more mr. Nice guy "
My FIRST concert Alice n Vinnie Vincent. I wore a white leather mini skirt. 15 years old and on some random dudes shoulders right up front. I was OBSESSED with Alice from that night on. I'm 51 now but still get 15 yr old giddiness when I hear him. ❤️
In the mid 80's, one of my brothers brought this album home and it was over! I was a Alice Cooper nut, ever since! This is JUST ONE of MANY great albums he's released !
He's definitely one of my very favorites 🐼 Welcome to my Nightmare Billion dollar Baby .... Detroit girl born 1959 lived in the best music decades ever ❤
One of the first albums I bought when I was a young teen and had my own system. I have not listened to this in many years and then this rush of memories flooded in. I know all the words to every song... good stuff.
This was the first Alice Cooper album I ever bought. I was 14 at the time and that was fifty years ago, and although there are more comprehensive "best-ofs", and even a great box set out there, this is still the one I like to blast in the car - except it's a CD now rather than an 8-track, and a Range Rover instead of a Chevy Nova - and I still get the same kick.
i remember our elementary school principle would play *school's out* every final day of school. of course we all loved that song for a number of reasons. but Hello Hooray was always my favorite. the drama, the passion, the musicianship and emotion evoked still slaps me in the face at 63. thanks Vince for your legacy!
I like all these songs but one is missing, the Ballad of Dwight Fry, the band I was in back than did covers we played GFR Alice, Spirit and many others that was some really good music back than good times good memories. Started playin' the drums when I was 10 that would have been 63 and got in my first band in 66, just keep on rockin'.
Saw him at a free concert on DC national mall. When he peeled off his silver trousers I thought, no class. He's still without class,but the world needs people like him.
My favorite first hard rock albums at 14 years old in 1976' were , Alice Coopers greatest hits. Grand Funk " Were an American Band ". Black Sabbath " Paranoid " . The Who " Who's next ". Kansas " Leftoverture" .
I playfully yelled at AC when he dedicated my Schools out album he was signing to my friend Bernie, he was cool about it and took us on the tour bus and signed me a promo poster…great guy
Here’s a testament to the engineers and record master era back in the day. Imagine hearing this song blaring on a single 6x9 speaker in AM and hearing all the parts clear as a bell. 1974 or 1975 on an AM radio in a 71 Ford Econoline van. You don’t need Klipsch speakers and a Marantz receiver to enjoy a teenaged lament. God, I’ve turned into one of those sanctimonious boomers who think they have a lock on what is and is not right in the music industry!! Oh well, I know what I like, and I like what…….now I’m getting ready to critique the phases of Genesis. Shut up, John, and just enjoy the music. RUclips is a wonderful thing!!!!
Does anyone remember 8 track tape players? I couldn't afford a record player I couldn't afford a stereo to plug one into.i got my drivers license at 15 and my mom let me drive her station wagon to school I got a brand new pioneer super tuner 8 track tape player,a pair of Jensen 6x9 triaxils,and a kraco 40watt power booster and I rocked alice!!!
I'll be seeing alice for 40th time on Sept 6th greatwoods. Cannot wait. I miss his daughter dancing and getting slapped during only women bleed. Calico is a great dancer. She is my favorite ballerina . Love you wicked much Alice.
I have all LP's from the first to Nightmare. Best stuff. After nope. Same with Yes after Relayer and Genesis after Lamb. First editions of bands are always the best.
This was the first LP I ever bought, back in '79 or '80 when I was...12? 13? I had to pilfer a lot of coins from the coin jar next to the laundry dryer to buy this record, but more than half of them were coins from my jeans that my mom gave me to buy school lunches with anyways. And she almost never gave me an allowance so I don't see what the big deal was or why she felt she needed to throw the jar at my head (she missed, it was a rhetorical throw) when she found out about the coins. :P Anyways it was totally worth it, I still love this album nd Alice and the band all these decades later.

so good
I just found out a couple days ago a childhood friend of mine died. We used to party and listen to this album, and here it pops up on my YT feed. Strange. RIP my friend.
On May 5th, 1973 I took my younger brother to his 1st concert. Billion Dollar Tour,,......wow, 50 years ago!
The old days, about 1972, someone called on a Friday night. When I answered they hung up. They did it a 2nd time. This was before cell phones. I set up my brother's stereo and put on Alice Cooper's Killer album with Under My Wheels ready to play with the volume full blast. The phone rang again. I started the record player at the same time picking up the receiver and putting it to the speaker. Whoever it was didn't like Alice Cooper because they didn't call back. 😶🌫😜💥 Alice Cooper was the first concert I went to. New Orleans, 1973.
Saw Alice the summer of 73 also on his Billion Dollar Babies tour. One of my top 3 concerts.
My first concert was Alice Cooper too, 12 years old Welcome To My Nightmare
Oh yeah, that was me. Sorry. 😂😂😂

Saw Alice Cooper in 1978 with some chick from NYC...some nightclub chick from a bar called CBGBS...unfortunately Philadelphia being Philadelphia they booed her off stage...they threw ...what I was guessing beer cups...she was wearing her signature leapord skin outfit...

He's definitely one of my very favorites 🐼 Welcome to my Nightmare Billion dollar Baby .... Detroit girl born 1959 lived in the best music decades ever ❤
One of the best albums EVER! This album was a favorite every day!!! 14 and life to go...
Nothing beats the original band I'm more into the original Alice Cooper band
One of the first albums I bought when I was a young teen and had my own system. I have not listened to this in many years and then this rush of memories flooded in. I know all the words to every song... good stuff.
Hey buddy it takes me back too ❤
I lol play mynext
This was the first Alice Cooper album I ever bought. I was 14 at the time and that was fifty years ago, and although there are more comprehensive "best-ofs", and even a great box set out there, this is still the one I like to blast in the car - except it's a CD now rather than an 8-track, and a Range Rover instead of a Chevy Nova - and I still get the same kick.
A very good album. It's awesome! Cheers!✌️
Saw this band play at Swiften in Cincy. Long time ago. You Rock.
One of the greatest albums of all time, but it needs to be remastered, there's too much distortion. Do it justice.
Is it my body? Someone I might be?...best tune. Really groovin'. Love this album.
i remember our elementary school principle would play *school's out* every final day of school. of course we all loved that song for a number of reasons. but Hello Hooray was always my favorite. the drama, the passion, the musicianship and emotion evoked still slaps me in the face at 63. thanks Vince for your legacy!
I told my girlfriend (back in the day) that I liked Hello Hooray, and she gasped in disapproval, because Alice didn't write that song.
@@NeilBevan-to7bn in any case - you've got great taste - it's an epic and majestic song - LOVE IT!
One of the best eeven today .So mant good tracks on this .Well done Rhino
Thank you! I have been looking for this album. 👍☝️🤘
8:04 here in Paducah Ky. I GET TO SEE ALICE COOPER OCTOBER 13th ON MY 65th BIRTHDAY CAN'T BELIEVE IT !!!
3rd time twice in Houston in the early 70's
Just before the end of grade 8(summer holidays) our principal played Schools Out over the PA system (B.C Canada)🇨🇦 1972
Did he? 😆
I'm 70 years old and I've been following Alice Cooper since I was 18. I really think they're 🆒.
When Rock and Roll was awesome. Schools out was my first LP
I had this on 8-track! Good times! 😎✌️
I like all these songs but one is missing, the Ballad of Dwight Fry, the band I was in back than did covers we played GFR Alice, Spirit and many others that was some really good music back than good times good memories. Started playin' the drums when I was 10 that would have been 63 and got in my first band in 66, just keep on rockin'.
One of best all around album's ever...from the inside is probably his best album for me...
Alice Cooper has a powerful testimony ‼️👍
I’m a freshman in High School got this marvellous Album.
My first album purchase of my own 😀👍
Happy BIRTHDAY ALICE , LOVE & LIGHT , no. 1 fan , me , thank you much Alice Cooper
yet 75 years,genius,i love you
Saw him at a free concert on DC national mall. When he peeled off his silver trousers I thought, no class.
He's still without class,but the world needs people like him.
My favorite first hard rock albums at 14 years old in 1976' were ,
Alice Coopers greatest hits.
Grand Funk " Were an American Band ".
Black Sabbath " Paranoid " .
The Who " Who's next ".
Kansas " Leftoverture" .
I playfully yelled at AC when he dedicated my Schools out album he was signing to my friend Bernie, he was cool about it and took us on the tour bus and signed me a promo poster…great guy
got to see Alice and the original band at least 2 or 3 times when they were doing the hanging and guillotine shows ..really awesome rockers
Here’s a testament to the engineers and record master era back in the day. Imagine hearing this song blaring on a single 6x9 speaker in AM and hearing all the parts clear as a bell. 1974 or 1975 on an AM radio in a 71 Ford Econoline van. You don’t need Klipsch speakers and a Marantz receiver to enjoy a teenaged lament. God, I’ve turned into one of those sanctimonious boomers who think they have a lock on what is and is not right in the music industry!! Oh well, I know what I like, and I like what…….now I’m getting ready to critique the phases of Genesis. Shut up, John, and just enjoy the music. RUclips is a wonderful thing!!!!
At the time, he had the best studio band available. Btw still kicks ass
Awsome master of allusions keep on rocking Alice
Does anyone remember 8 track tape players? I couldn't afford a record player I couldn't afford a stereo to plug one into.i got my drivers license at 15 and my mom let me drive her station wagon to school I got a brand new pioneer super tuner 8 track tape player,a pair of Jensen 6x9 triaxils,and a kraco 40watt power booster and I rocked alice!!!
Дай Бог Элису долгой и процветающей жизни, вот уже мои любимые актёры стали нас покидать, когда то придётся принять.. 30 лет уважения прими...
GREAT ALBUM 👍👍👍, ALICE LOVES JESUS , I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM IN ETERNITY 💪❤🙏
I saw his show in Toronto . I think i was 16 . I am 66 now . I play his music on guitar now . 😊
I'll be seeing alice for 40th time on Sept 6th greatwoods. Cannot wait. I miss his daughter dancing and getting slapped during only women bleed. Calico is a great dancer. She is my favorite ballerina . Love you wicked much Alice.
Vintage alice cooper still on the rise and smokin🤩
I have all LP's from the first to Nightmare. Best stuff. After nope. Same with Yes after Relayer and Genesis after Lamb. First editions of bands are always the best.
This was the first LP I ever bought, back in '79 or '80 when I was...12? 13? I had to pilfer a lot of coins from the coin jar next to the laundry dryer to buy this record, but more than half of them were coins from my jeans that my mom gave me to buy school lunches with anyways. And she almost never gave me an allowance so I don't see what the big deal was or why she felt she needed to throw the jar at my head (she missed, it was a rhetorical throw) when she found out about the coins. :P Anyways it was totally worth it, I still love this album nd Alice and the band all these decades later.
