Alice Cooper: The Controversial History of a Rock Legend

  • The man (and the band) who first brought shock rock to the masses, Alice Cooper became one of the most successful and influential acts of the '70s with their gritty but anthemic hard rock and a live show that delivered a rock & roll chamber of horrors, thrilling fans and cultivating outrage from authority figures (which made fans love them all the more). The name Alice Cooper originally referred to both the band and its lead singer (born Vincent Furnier), as they played dark, eccentric, psychedelic rock on their first two albums, Pretties for You (1969) and Easy Action (1970). Alice Cooper scored breakthrough hits in 1971 with "I'm Eighteen" and the album Love It to Death, in which the group finally stumbled upon the formula that made them stars, blending tough, dirty, guitar-fueled hard rock with Cooper's sneering vocals and spooky lyrics. Coupled with a live show that included snakes, electric chairs, fake blood, and mock hangings, Alice Cooper had something to offend everyone, and from 1971's Killer to 1973's Billion Dollar Babies, they could seemingly do no wrong.

    I've worked backstage for an Alice Cooper Concert and Let me tell you. His Stage Setup is EPIC! So Theatrical and amazing! He even said to me and all the other workers as he was walking offstage says to me and the others "You guys must be the gang!" and we all laughed. Such a fantastic Moment in my life and I can't wait when I get to work his next show in my area

    I kinda laugh when they say Alice Cooper all these false things like he’s Satan, worshiping nothing, and so on. Because it’s cheesy monsters running around the stage and Alice Cooper is the cartoon that gets his head taken off or hung but damage isn’t there because he doesn’t end the show with being killed, he gets up like a cartoon. Yes he’s head gets cut off but he always seems to put it back on.

  • @robertfournier7050

    I still get excited about the whole idea of what was Alice Cooper

    I saw the Alice Cooper show in 1976 and I remember looking at my best friend Ray and saying " what the hell was that " ! I was a fan of Cooper's since 72' and the first two albums I bought was Yes Fragile and Alice Cooper's Billion Dollar Babies. He's the greatest rock star that has ever lived !

    I grew up on Alice Cooper. I would put my record on repeat, and wear my headphones to bed. All night long!

    I've been a fan for over 30 years. I'm so proud that my #1 rock artist is AC. Not just for his amazing work, but for his reputation as a genuinely good person, and for his struggles and triumphs and the man he's become.

    This is an amazing documentary and Alice Cooper has influenced everyone. Such a humble, caring soul. Some other rock stars are pompous ego maniacs, but Alice is pure class all the way. Mad respect! And thank you, Flavio De Feo for the video.
