    This was Alice Cooper's first hit single in 1970... it started when manager Shep Gordon saw the Alice Cooper band live and the whole audience left the room! Gordon thought the band was powerful to send a whole room of fans out the door... so what they needed was to 're-channel' their energy so that people would fill the room instead.
    Gordon signed on to manage the Alice Cooper band, and brought in Canadian producer Bob Ezrin ( who would later work w/ Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Kiss, Deep Purple, etc.) and he loved the 'freak show' and the music... Ezrin heard the song 'Eighteen' performed live and decided to polish the band in the studio and record it as a single. When it was released in late '70, "I'm eighteen" instantly connected w/ kids and adults... Alice Cooper had 2 albums that did not sell - but this single was a turning point as it hit the charts and became a teen anthem of the 70's.
    Their label Warner Bros. suddenly demanded that Ezrin and Alice Cooper finish a full album, and that was released in 1971 - 'Love it to death'... which went platinum in the US. By 1972, Alice Cooper was playing arenas on tour w/ a wild stage show of macabre theatrics that became their attraction in concert and their songs were all over radio.

      Bob Ezrin was a Newbie in 1971....barely out of High School. JACK RICHARDSON did a lot more work on Early Alice then your giving him credit for....no credit at all I must say. Stick to your Wikipedia knowledge!!! LOL

      Bob Ezrin produced 'Love it to death'... The only reason Jack Richardson was credited was because Ezrin worked for his company Nimbus 9, and Richardson was just the "executive producer" (Meaning he was just a supervisor of the project 😂)
      From what I read (not Wikipidia!), Jack Richardson hated Alice Cooper's music, and was not involved after 'Love it to death' became a hit in 1971 😁
      Bob Ezrin handled Alice Cooper's production on 'Killer' and so on...

    Alice Cooper is still rockin', but his band back when this album was recorded was stellar. Glenn Buxton, Dennis Dunaway, Neil Smith and Michael Bruce, plus Alice Cooper, aka Mr. Vince Furnier, were putting out a great album every year, and touring their asses off an making fans by the truck load. In fact, i'll be seeing Alice and his current band in the near future. Can't wait. Won't be my first AC show, nor my last.

"Love it to Death", the album premiering "I'm Eighteen", hadn't yet been released, but all the songs were played at that concert. That was one helluva night, I must say, especially for a young guy on acid. Oh, it was a scene, man. Great reaction, as always.

    I am a life long Fan of Alice and the band. I first heard him was on his first album that my older sister owned and played at great dislike by my then traditional big band and country music loving parents. Since then I got to see Alice in live shows. I even got to meet Alice before one of his live shows. At his restaurant Cooper's Town in Cleveland Ohio. He was a very personable and wonderful man. He also was admired by old burlesgue performers such as Groucho Marx and May West who had seen his live shows and also became fans also. His stage shows were legendary with the props and employed live skits. Some where kind of gruesome but well thought out and performed. Now he runs a charity music program for young teenage kids and gives them a outlet other than a life of crime and drugs. His long term Wife and daughter both to this day perform in the stage shows and tours. After his long life of Drug and Alchol addictions.

    Great choice! My fist year in college (1978-79) I sold my textbooks back to the book store in order to have enough cash for tickets to see Alice Cooper, and gas money because it was over 100 miles round trip. That was a Thirsday night. I had no classes Friday and played backgammon for money all day Sat and Sun. By Mon morning I had enough cash to go buy my books back for three times what they pakd me for them Thursday. Never missed a class or assignment. Good times.
    That was my fjrst time seeing Alice live. Over the hears I have seen him another 15-16 time. Back in the day nobody sounded more like himself on stage z9compared to the records) than Alice. Some of his on-stage Ntics took things a little too far but it was like adult Halloween, and in the end the joke was always on him, or he was the victim of his own stories. Great songwrite and sense of humor - not to mention many kick ass band members over the years.

Alice Cooper's journey to the dark side and back is one to be experienced through his music. Great reaction Brad & Lex thanks!

    As an eighteen year old girl when this song was popular along with School's Out was really how I felt at that time. I was pretty self sufficient so I could fix my own car and I worked so anything I couldn't do myself I could pay to have done. Maybe if I had a dad I would have been more like Lex. When I was eighteen you were legally an adult so you could drink and smoke unlike today.

    Once they got Bob Ezrin aboard, the original Alice Cooper group (not just the singer at that point) was the cream of the crop as far as '70s hard rock went. "Love it to Death" through "Billion Dollar Babies" is one of those magical album runs.

    Even though Alice Cooper was every parent's nightmare in the 70s, to this day not one of his songs contains any curse words. He may be a hard hearted public animal, but Alice has class, regardless of what he told us in "School's Out". \m/ * * \m/

    Old music, specially from the 60's, 70's and 80's offers so much variety and diversity that it will continue to offer new material for your channel for a long time to come and I am, sort of, reliving it through your channel, so an internal smile arises when I see the thumbnail pop up of your next video reacting to Alice Cooper.
    Alice Cooper has from the mid 80's on, in a way, wiped away his own legend as he has cleaned up, as a person, rather nicely. The foundations of good person morals were always there as he grew up in a house of a church leader (his father).
    Young people today will have a hard time imagining the sheer level of controversial that Alice Cooper was, circa 1975. Today it is quite common for musical artist to portray a dark side, be rebellious, anti social, against the grain, provocative, over sexualized but in the 70's this was different, yes, The Rolling Stones for example, from Britain had long hair, may have occasionally partaken in illegal substances and overall seemed like a wild, rowdy bunch, but Alice Cooper took things to a different level; wearing black eye shadow make-up when no men did, ages before KISS and Marilyn Manson, having Hundreds of plastic doll babies on stage that he would rip the arms and legs off of, confetti style raining fake US Dollar bills over the audience, Live Boa Constrictors on stage, and so on. Cooper had a huge alcohol problem, he drank openly on stage and would sometimes not be able to finish a concert performance, this was during concerts where the audience actually stayed and didn't walk out. There was no greater fear for teen ager parents than Alice Cooper, they protested against radio stations playing his music, against stores selling his records and there was even a serious plea to congress to have the government ban him. He sang about rich people's children being fake (Billion Dollar Babies), for kids to rebel against school (School's out), about arousing audiences (Hello Hurray), about abuse of women (Only Women Bleed) and when he had just about every adult over 30 disgusted with him, he sang about running for President in a gold Rolls Royce (Elected). You just listened to him sing about being a rebellious young man.
    It all seems like extra ordinary gimmicky, and it was, in my opinion, his music was actually quite great.
    Through his career he had the decency to not ever mention or call attention to his father because he didn't want his father to get in trouble with his church congregation and a fun fact is that Alice Cooper is a very good golfer (professional level), this from growing up in golf communities in Arizona.

    I started listening to Alice Cooper with skepticism, thinking it was one of those cheesy “shock rock” acts. It is, but it’s more sophisticated and interesting than I thought it would be. “A Long Way to Go” is probably my favorite Cooper song. It has an aggressive punk sound to it.

    Infamous, Alice, saw him at least 3 times including when I was 18. It was a wondrous age, Short, fast and so sweet. Don't know about now but just the middle of existence. Healthy. Crazy, lazy, dumb and young enough to get away with being all that. And this song by Alice will make you aware as to no wonder we did so bad in the Nam. It is one of my all time life remenicant songs. I smile, thanks!!

    This was kind of an anthem for those of us who served in Vietnam. I served two tours, 1965-66/ 1970-71. I was 18 during my first tour. The average age for a soldier in Vietnam was 19. "Old mans war, young mans fight".

    When I was 16 I went camping with a friend and his family in 1976. His parents used his pick up to run to the local store. Alice Cooper Killer was in the cassette deck under the seat and they couldn't figure out how to stop the music. When the parents got back to camp his mom had Dead Babies stuck in her head....We had to explain to them is was an anti child neglect/abuse song.. Good times 😆

    Heh. The notification in my flow ---->. says that you posted this *18* minutes ago. Well done, RUclips!
    And the song is a classic, of course.
    I think I mentioned this before, but prior to 1975 "Alice" is the name of the entire band; it was only after the singer (originally Vince Furnier) split from the rest of the group that the name referred to him alone. So many of these early hits were written by others, notably lead guitarist Michael Bruce and/or bassist Dennis Dunaway. And thus early "Alice" is slightly different from later "Alice", since it's different people, essentially.
    "Caught in a Dream" probably won't get many reccs, but it should, Give it a try.
    And Vince/Alice is still singing today. Sure he'd rather be playing left field for the Detroit Tigers or playing golf, but he's made his peace with rock stardom, lol.

    I'm 65 now, but I still remember 18. Inside, I sometimes still feel like that same 18 year-old kid. I only know what to do because, by now, I've made all the mistakes an 18 year-old could have made. At 65, I think I don't really know what to do, as what not to do because of learning from my mistakes. I don't regret them because without them, I'd never learn.
