Best line ever: "see my lonely life unfold. I see it everyday ."
Yup
But does anyone see it besides the person ? I guess that depends on how good of a actor one is .
Best line EVER!!!
@Alice Cooper I used to be scared of your songs as a child but I'm a 14 year old guitarist now and I love your songs but my friends think I'm strange because I'm trying to learn no more mr nice guy on guitar
@@music4life702 hate to tell you that's not really him
Alice Cooper is a total one of a kind performer, often copied and imitated but never bettered, he is truly unique.
Saw Alice in concert 72 and 73. Unforgettable. Head chopping, dead babies, tooth brush chasing teeth around, snake charming. We just called him a freak but we loved him.
+paladin hgwt Yeah, same time period for me. The Specdtrum in Philly. He electrocuted himself in an electric chair at the end, and of course came back for an encore. Always did that kind of stuff. Just his stage schtick. Good entertainer. In real life he is just a normal guy who is an avid golfer and just hangs out with "normal" celebs and whoever. I mean he is rich, so he just runs in those circles. Izod like shirts the whole golfing thing. Except for the long hair, just an average looking golfer. Doesn't act freaky or any of that shit. Just his stage personna, and it got over big time. I had a good time, I think.
I also saw him during his Tooth Decay tour at the Spectrum in Philly. His stuff was totally original and great. Love Alice!
Yeah, I saw him on this tour (Trashes the World). Amazing he is still going. Great guy!
@@daddiikong1602 71 years old (or young, However you choose to look at it.. because age is only a number), and still able to perform as if he were only in his 20s or 30s! Where does he get that kind of energy from nowadays? Wow!!!!!
I saw him in 2015. He put on a 2 hr+ show
Alice stand's alone , there's nobody on the planet like him
You are right about that. There is no one like him. He did a good job by chopping his head off and using the electric chair. That was my favorite.
It was 1996 & I was going to Harley-Davidson repair school @ MMI in Phoenix. One Friday night I was in a blues club that was so packed I doubt a person would fall down even if they died. Standing at the bar drinking what was advertised as "the coldest beer in Phoenix," I was talking to some guy who looked familiar, & finally said to him, "are you Alice Cooper?" to which he replied, "yes I am" (or some affirmative answer anyway). At the time I did not know he was from Phoenix and that he lived in the house on the bluff overlooking the school I was attending. I seem to remember we had an interesting conversation, but also remember it was a beer drinking event and listening to good blues music.
HISTORY'S MOST UNDERRATED SONG
agreed
yup
Great song...but not in history
Joyosagsm agree
Joyosagsm sure
"Other performers got up on stage and think 'I hope they like me'. I get up on stage and think 'they better like me, or else'". This was why Alice Cooper's shows were so creative and entertaining. He gave zero shites about what the audience would think
I'll never get enough of Alice Cooper, he was my late mom's all time favorite & he's mine.. February 2024 baybay!!! ❤️🔥
This song is just incredible, man.
The theatrics are amazing! BTW:I know that all of this is staged, but that nurse kicking Alice... hmm...I'll bet she wished she'd of never turned her back on him! That made his character madder than a whole nest of wet hornets! He sure took care of that little problem, didn't he?!?!?
The song is 10 times better here compared to the studio version
A tribute to the late actor Dwight Frye,a very underated actor..who never got the recognition he deserved..he died suddenly from heart failure in 1943..such a shame..such a talent.
I love watching movies with him, he was a really great actor
this song is old as dirt and I'm still loyal to Alice Cooper 2016!
Are you a teeney bopper?
+Rick Jones I have no idea what that is..please explain
a young teenager, typically a girl, who keenly follows the latest fashions in clothes and pop music.
+Mike K. I don't really keep up with the mainstream but the rest is correct XD
1971 Love it to Death. There third album. Cooper and Bruce wrote it in 1970 I believe. Im old as dirt too because I seen them in 1972 for the first time when I was 16 years old.
That's one of the greatest live performances I've ever seen and can only imagine how surreal it was in person/
Saw this concert in london, believe me it was excellent
I saw this performed in London too, it made me cry. It was so good!!
I saw it in Cleveland, Ohio and used to sing it. One time hung my self on my best friends mom’s clothes line in the basement. I didn’t wanna be!
I saw Alice Cooper in concert twice and yes he puts on a great live performances and it way worth the money so yeah go see him because u will not be disappointed
@Alice Cooper u know you are not the real Alice Cooper alright duh hello are u freaking for real man? SMH omg some people's kids lmfao!
I was there when they filmed it!
I couldn't believe it when they did "The Ballad Of Dwight Fry" my favourite track!
🤘🏻
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
The fact he does this sober, is amazing!!!
The voice of the guy singing the chorus with alice is amazing !
Kane Roberts on backvocal
@@robsonlacerda8788 Nope. This is the Trash band
Is the bassist i think
yes
The backing vocals are awesome
Loyal fan of Alice since 1972, that makes.. 46 years? I`m 51 now. Wow. And this song is just a master piece of art. The keyboard riff... you just can`t get out of .. your head for days or years?? or unfold lives? God saves you Alice
Alice is just fine as ever!! A EXCELLENT performer and artist love this so much lol thank mr
Alice Cooper ,FLINT mi. Allways !!
He has been saved ! FROM THE BEGINNING
Never get tired of listening to Alice Cooper since I was a young teenager..66 and still listening. His concerts are awesome, Can't wait to see him again in august at Pine Knob in Clarkston Mi.
He is the best shock rock performer, hands down God Bless Alice Cooper 🙏
Still my favorite Alice Cooper song; it's amazing how well it works as either a slow, tragic ballad (as in the original album version) or an aggressive, psychotic stage act...either way it hits all the right moods for us bug-eating lunatics!
mommy? where's daddy?
he has been gone for so long!
do you think he'll ever come back?
Carolyn stoddard / Chloe grace moretz ❤️!!! ... Sorry
Love Chloe in dark shadows
GmilionRBLX isn't it;
Mommy, where's daddy?
He has been gone for so long!
Is he ever coming home?
Blahblah Blah we may never know
To this world? He'd be mad to. I gotta get outa here LOL
I love this, such an underrated song deserves so much more love!!!!
tasha brooke x I agree..
Alice is also generally an overlooked lyricist as well..
His themes are unusual, which paves way for uniquely brilliant phrases.. :)
+tasha brooke x I LOVE THIS SONG ITS MY FAV SONG EVA
+tasha brooke x luv it
:)
some people are just Afraid of the Dark LOL...
omg I love alice cooper especially this song :D
"see my lonely life unfold...I see it everyday"
Dwight Frye was the name of the actor who played Renfield in the 1931 Dracula film with Bela Lugosi.
That is too cool. That explains a lot
This song was never overrated.
I don't know why, but this is the most important song to me
Because we all have a little of Dwight Fry in us.
Reminding you to listen to this song again 🤘
@@jakemotionless6119 ballad of Dwight fry is still on my main playlist :)
same
@@CorvetteKidNC agreed
GOAT Alice is the godfather of shock...2023 there is no touching him he started it all.
I remember I was 7 when I heard this song. My Auntie shared all her albums with me. I had a great childhood Rock on Alice!❤
My Mom use to watch the old show with me, Midnight Special with host Wolfman Jack in the '70s. She loved Alice!
2020 still listening to it classic 💯
His brutally live is much awesome version kicking the nurse in the end of the song.
Well , even in 2021 🤘
started listening to Alice in the early 70's and never stopped. What an entertainer...The very best of all.
scott, me too since he 1st started. I still love Alice. He lives here in my city. He does alot of amazing things for ppl. A great person as well as a great artist. Dusty the 2nd.
@@dustythe2nd188 You have such a profound impact on my career that even the biggest thank you text would fall shout to express my gratitude. Thanks for your support and the love shown stay safe ❤️❤️❤️
@@alicecooper2793 How do I know this is really you Alice? I have seen every concert of yours and have loved you since your inception, you are only a tiny bit older than I am. You were the shit back in your day. Still love you. I know where you live, as I live there to. Can you tell me that?
@@dustythe2nd188 I know you're really a huge fan of me ❤️, thanks for your support ❤️❤️🎶 drop your WhatsApp number I'll text you myself ❤️ i promise ❤️.
@@alicecooper2793 But you cannot tell me where you live? We are in the same City Alice. Cannot play unless you can answer that 1 question.
I always adored Alice (Vincent) and my teenage years included discovering Schools Out album and realising what a fabulous creative person he is and what a fabulous bunch of musicians he had working with him - underestimated I guess because of his persona - he is a true musician and story teller -the songs that made the public airwaves often got in the way of people discovering the true gems hidden in his body of work.
I was only seven when I met Alice. AKA Vincent
I love this Era
My drum teacher in germany has an american friend who was one of alice coopers friends in school :D
Phil :D my grandfather went to highschool with him
Phil :D Lucky
Sweet my uncle was one of his best friends
You, people, are so lucky!
I love these performances. Kneeling, in a straitjacket, singing this beautiful song. I love it!
The Alice Cooper Group, and I mean the original group, has always been my favorite!!!! The first 7 to 8 albums were the BEST OF ALL......
Kane roberts is back!!!!
Vinnie is a theatrical performer - an artist. Small-minded people have phobias of the arts and artists. They cannot tolerate anything new or odd. He is really quite a sensible person - nothing to be afraid of. He is a joy to watch work.
The king of theatrical rock! An absolute amazing artist. I still so eant to meet him.
The most amazing part about this song is that he was in an institution... seven years after this song was released. And he hit the nail on the fuckin' head.
And then turned that experience into another awesome concept album, From the Inside.
I love this man! Saw every concert he ever put on, not the repeats the ones when they first came out! Still love this artist and actor/entertainer.
You have such a profound impact on my career that even the biggest thank you text would fall shout to express my gratitude. Thanks for your support and the love shown stay safe ❤️❤️❤️
It’s 2021 and who agrees this is one of the best live performances ever 🙌🏾
2023. Still the illest performance ever
@@primoparcel6479 this sucks , and so do u 😂
I saw alice cooper play this song live 2 months ago i think, he played this song one of his last songs i´ve listened to it plenty of times among my years and i have always been impressed by the scenario he paints for us both visually and foremost musically such an amazing song and artist!
Cancell Euw
A Cooper little known classic
This is unbeatable, what a sad story.
oh yea Alice Cooper , im 55 and I grew up on Alice Cooper, 1977 crusin in my 66 Chevrolet 4 speed on the floor 396 moter and this song playing on my 8 track, they both went together, there was something magical about it
+Junior Mccready im 56 and STEEL ROCKING ON!!!!
+Ray Ames still rock in on. God bless you
+Junior Mccready ditto- great stuff- this man was a classic- started many trends in rock music- an true originator- Head bangin rock- shock rock- great theater- lyrics noone else could touch at the time- he even had early rap- many musicians owe this man for leading the way-
You are painting a lovely picture in my mind here...love it :)
im 23 and ill be saying the same thing. though i was like 8, sitting in my conservatory. listening to this and singing it.
oh and going to london with my alice coper shirt too big to fit. and having wierd big biker dudes look at me, point and smile. then i got older, went to a concert - saw a little kid wearing an oversixed alice shirt and all I thought was "aww, that was me.. the cycle... it continues"
long live the coop!
I Love his Voice ❤️
Love It To Death Rules. My favorite Alice Cooper album.
Same here!
I got to see Alice perform live a couple weeks ago. What an amazing artist!!! He just gets better with time!
Saw an interview with him years ago. He stated he was a functional alcoholic. I saw him many times in concert in my teenage years in the 1970s.
Love him and especially Johnny Depp in Hollywood Vampires. Also saw Joe Perry with Aerosmith many times too!
Saw Alice back in the day.His vocals are insane live.So true to the recordings-not to mention the stage show.Love this guy❤
I love Cooper and Dwight Frye. His laughter was iconic in Dracula with Bela Lugosi. Love this song in the movie Dark Shadows .
My favourite ever Alice track..
I saw Alice cooper in Fargo of 2023, the first time I've heard hos music. I heard of him but nothing much. And this song drove me too him. Amazing artist and puts on a great show.
Saw Alice last night, The Ballad of Dwight Fry was and still is one of my favorite AC songs! He continues to amaze me with his brilliance.
I saw AC in 73 when I was high school. I wasn't really a fan, I just went with some friends. I became fan because of seeing his show. There was nothing like it anywhere or for that matter "anywhen". As fun as these shows are , the music is why he has lasted.These years (early 70s) were the time when Alice was the freak that was chic. All the kids were fascinated because he wrote songs just for us. Schools Out is the definitive defiant rock anthem.
I love this tune
Alice Cooper's music has always stood on its own for me. The theatrics of the show are a bonus.
It's like watching a movie with the best soundtrack ever.
The movie Dark Shadows with Johnny Depp brought me here. Alice Cooper makes a small appearance in the movie singing two songs. Had to watch Alice sing this song. 💔
Saw him in concert many times in my teenage years! He's still rocking with Johnny Depp in Hollywood Vampires! 🦇
Yessss finally a good quality upload of this performance, the absolute best version of this song: I *love* that bass guitar
Such a great performance
This is the first time that I have seen a stage show of this song. While I like this song and AC's music for decades, I think this portrayal is demeaning and makes light of plight of those who are struggling with a mental illness and institutionalized. It is no joke. I say this as someone who has studied the topic of mental illness. It's so sad. So very sad.
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
Finally - finally managed to see him with the HV's 2018 uk tour. My wife wanted to see JD but really took to the Coop. I say finally because having followed him since 1972 i just never got around to go and see him live - i def class him as an Honorary Brit - Class act...
Amazing from a son of a preacher man ,
The COOP ROCKS!
Always has Always will!!!
Боже мой, какой же он крутой. Лучший из лучших рок исполнителей!
Alice Cooper = one of rocks greatest icons!
🤘❤
My first intro to concept album. Changed forever my way I hear music.
Big hug from Argentina.
You have such a profound impact on my career that even the biggest thank you text would fall shout to express my gratitude. Thanks for your support and the love shown stay safe ❤️❤️❤️
"Mommy, where's daddy?
He's been gone for so long
Do you think he'll ever come home?"
I was gone for fourteen days
I could've been gone for more
Held up in the intensive care ward
Lyin' on the floor
I was gone for all those days
But I was not all alone
I made friends with a lot of people
In the danger zone
See my lonely life unfold
I see it every day
See my only mind explode
Since I've gone away
I think I lost some weight there
And I, I'm sure I need some rest
Sleeping don't come very easy
In a straight white vest
Sure like to see that little children
She's only four years old, old
I'd give her back all of her play things
Even, even the ones I stole
See my lonely life unfold
I see it everyday
See my lonely mind explode
When I've gone insane
I wanna get outta here
I…
I need some rest. 👀. 👈
@@ozzykillbill9680 Everyone deserves rest.
This song changed my life. For a dark song, it really brings the light.
Loved Alice Cooper since 1973. I was 7.
OMG, I LOVE THIS SONG & ALICE GAVE SUCH AN INCREDIBLE FREAKING PERFORMANCE!!! I LISTEN TO THIS VIDEO EVERYDAY.... MEANING MORE THAN SEVERAL TIMES PER DAY!!!
Back in the early 90's I saw him headline the "Operation Rock & Roll Tour". He puts on the best live show.
I've seen him three times! He STILL delivers the goods.
Been a fan since the 80’s and I was born in 84😁😂🖤💚Fucking love him.Going to see Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie this year🎉
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
He was meant for this life or be a eccentric teacher in the arts. So thanks for being a maestro of your art, and show it to all of us. We love you, Cooper. We definitely aren't worthy!
Song hits home!!! Reminds me of everyday of my life!!!
The ballad of Ronald... more like huh🤪Lol😜...I'm going through hell and this song really made me smile... Thanks Al Coop One of the best performers all time!
Ron I know exactly what you mean, just keep on with the keepin on brother!! Fuck all of the haters and the people who are so quick to change coats on ya...
Alice will always be a😂 legend!! Love you Vincent ❤
The song is so disturbing yet so good
Шикарная песня , шикарное исполнение !!!!!!!!!!!!
Алис на все века!!!Санкт Петербург
I've been an Alice Cooper fan since I was 8 that was long time ago. Fact is nobody will ever do what Alice does. LONG LIVE THE COOP !!!!!!!!!
Wow, amazing performance!
I’ve been a fan from the start and I’m old as dirt. The Coop is legendary.
The greatest rock legend ever, pure showman , see you in Glasgow Alice
My all time fave song of Alice's
1975 Kalamazoo Mi. My first concert. Still listening to you Sir! You are Epic ❤️🎼
Great album!!! The Budweiser king!!
Remember the coop baby!!!1970s drunkenness!!!!!!
Saw him live back in February. This song was a highlight. I had a blast
This masterpiece is so very amazing 🖤
This music video helps me get through my bipolar disorder. Thank you Alice Cooper.
Have seen Alice 6 times, 3 times in Detroit on October 30th, devils night in Detroit. 3 times in Las Vegas. Hes never, ever disappointed
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
one of the best concerts I ever been to he puts a awesome show on
I always loved the part where he reasons to himself whether he should go or stay. Like when he's saying 'no...no' it's the last shred of sane, reasonable Alice. Knowing he's too dangerous to be let out into the world ever again.
I go crazy when I see nurse come. I know, it's only show but my heart have to scream every time. Well done uncle Alice. Very emotional show ❤
I can’t help it but sometimes I cry when I listen to this song. 😢
Wow... Suddenly it's 1972 and me and my 8-track player are blistering thru Love it to Death brushing the long hair and looking for chicks... Aaahhhh... Those were the days.
+Aberdumbie I snuck in I love the Dead into the school's radio day (Friday's the principal would play CD's over the intercom for the entire school) back in 1994. I was born in 1976 and love Alice. And yes, I have my long hair still (what's left of it anyway lol). Never stop Rockin'!
I’ll never forget the first time I saw AC in concert 🎵. I remember them playing this song!!!! 👍
wHAT A Showman! What a performer! WOW!
When I was 12 I was into his music for 3 years. After listening to ALL of his albums 5 times each, I moved.on...found me.music... coming back 2 years later as a 17 yr old. I remember why I fell in love.with Alice.Cooper. a legend to never be forgotten.
I started liking him almost 3 months ago in October still like him now lol I'm 17 almost 18 in 3 months
@@runningwithwolves6090 awesome i'm 18 now and i sitll love him, youll always cherish him forver.
I heard this song first time in "Dark Shadows" and I fall in love. I love you Alice
pecul_iarbooks I heard it first on his new paranormal tour 😂😂😂

Alice....the master of sick! Been hooked on him since "Killer" was released!
