I think some people were put off by his show style gimmicks and never gave his music a chance. One of the greatest rock n roll artists of all time IMO. Excellent songwriter.
Just got back from a live concert shortly before posting here. He can still rock it pretty damn well for 75, has a great band playing for him (dear God Nita Strauss is an absolute goddess). Hell of a show, loved every second of it.
There's not many hard rockers that could put as many songs on the top 40 charts as Alice did. He was truly something special and I was incredibly lucky to have grown up during his hey day.
I was 13. Alice was front page news here in the uk.....'Lock up your daughters' !! When my dad saw him on 'top of the pops' he looked at me a little worried knowing I had become a fan of this lunatic. Still sounds as fresh today as it was over 40 years ago. One of the best albums of all time imo. I'm 56 now and still as mad as Alice!! Good times.
Alice knew how to put together a kickass band. If you ain't the greatest guitar player around, don't even apply for the job. The Trash tour was some of his best shows ever. The Bassman is like magic here. I'm old, and this song gives me the same goosebumps it did in High School when it was a #1 hit. School's Out was our theme song back then.
@@deepalkessa8938 Pete Friesen on the classic Alice lines, the excellent Al Pitrelli doing the shredding. Pete was with Alice a long time. He's great. The hot backup singer was little Devon Meade. I'm a big fan of hers. heehee
Happy 74th Vincent Damon Furnier, February 4, 1948 Detroit, Michigan.. Alice, you are a rock icon that brought rock and theater together. Which spawned the rock group called Kiss, and many more. Keep golfing.. It keeps you young. I'm not worthy.. I'm not worthy..
the man is a living legend , i wanna meet him one day just to tell him that , awesome , takes me back to the 70,s everytime i hear this album , good times .
Met him at a convention. Nicest guy ever. I lost my meet and greet ticket and his staff were shooing me away rather aggressively. Alice just said let him come in and talked to me for longer than the staff would like from their body language. I assume it was to show them who the boss was but whatever the case I will never forget his kindness
I saw Alice on The old Grey Whistle test when I was 13. That was it for me. Huge fan ever since, seen him numerous times and got to meet him in the 80's. I'm 61 now and still listen to him. Legend!
I seen Alice Cooper in the late 70’s. We had great seats & I left thinking that was the best show I e ever seen. The 70’s that’s what teens did was go to concerts & believe me I’ve seen bands from A to Z & he was awesome! It was a talent artist no auto tune,over the top costumes or dancers just great music.
Alice Cooper billion dollar babies was the first album I ever owned and I can still recite every word to every song from elected 2 billion dollar babies it's amazing I don't think my mom had a clue I was listening to at the ripe old age of 12 Alice Cooper was 20 years ahead of his time that is a fact
I saw Alice in Greenville, SC on Halloween. It was the Brutal Planet Your. He did this show and shook bills, it looked like C-notes into the crowd. I was and still am a long-time Cooper fan and he didn't disappoint.
Always loved Alice. I got 'Department of youth' tattooed to my shoulder, i took it back in '06 when i was 19y, just a week before i went to army. I've seen Coop live a few times and he always put's a great show. Also like him as person. He has feets on ground, humble, smart and funny guy. Compared to other rock stars who often too many have created grande illusion of themselves and are spoiled brats. Muscle of love, Billion dollar babies, Killer and Welcome to my nightmare are the best albums. And Muscle of love is on my top 5 as best albums ever. Others are: Kiss Destroyer, Hanoi Rocks Bangock shocks, Saigon shakes, Hanoi rocks, GNR Appetite for destruction and Van Halen VH I.
seen him live in 78 at the hollywood sportatorium and in 91 at bicentennial park in miami, the guy is truly a legend. his concerts are an event and must be seen to believe.
Alice cooper was one of the greatest rock performers that ever lived! He came out when I was little. Everyone was talking about alice cooper. All the cool girls talked about alice cooper! It was one of the greatest times I ever had ! Hugs and kisses to everyone that was there ! I remember seeing some of the coolest girls I have ever seen! From; john kozlowsky 😀😀❤❤😀😀❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😀😀😀😀😀❤
9th grade, in a school play titled "The Dollar" I was the play's antagonist. It was photographed enough for use in our 1972 yearbook. Feathered, Sonora Raider's BABY cover of w/ doll.
WARNING TO THE FUTURE NURSING HOME: I’m going to bring my Magnepan speakers and every single song Alice ever did. And I love it loud. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
I was there! (in 1973) I was 11 years old and I begged my father to take me to see Alice Cooper and he took me. I still remember Alice Cooper's red pants and the smell of all the pot in the stadium and how everyone used their lighters to light the place up.
Written by the GREAT Rockin Reggie!!! Poor guy now has dementia after having a stroke AND heart attack!! But he was an amazing musician and song writer!!!
I remember when this album came out and a lot of my friends were Alice Cooper.....ooooohh.......I went to several parties over the summer of 73......and took this album which I put on the stereo systems of my friends....and CRANKED it........Alice ended the summer with approximately, 160 plus new fans.........thats a conservative ########...........

Cooper needs to get a keyboard player back into his live shows. It will add an extra dimension to so many of his songs, especially those that had keyboards and piano
He does, i rather him get rid of one of the guitarist in favor of a keyboardist. When i saw him 2 years ago it sounded like crap with 3 guitars playing at the same time. Needs a new band in general, they looked bored when i saw them and they got blown away by Edgar Winter and Deep Purple
Silly Halloween there. These shows have a lot of satirical pomposity along with an old Hollywood circus kind of absurdity to it. This is a theater musical. The stage show is entertaining, yet, I can say the songs stand on their own. I love Alice Cooper's wild nonsense and humor as this nightmare villain. Ha ha! Great stuff.
Hi, Ajo Tomasso of the band BLUES GATOR. Our guitarist and co-founder Mike "Rock" Matulis mentioned to me that he wanted to cover this song with BLUES GATOR and that he would trade three of his song choices for this one. I'm pretty sure he was joking and perhaps trying to make a point. What that point might be is anybody's guess. You see, the heaviest that we get is when we play songs like "BORN TO BE WILD", "ALRIGHT NOW", 20TH CENTURY BOY", "AMERICAN BAND", "ROCK AND ROLL HOOCHIE KOO" and so on. So he probably thought it would be kinda funny to refer me to "BILLION DOLLAR BABIES" by Alice Cooper. I'd never heard of it but guess what, I really like it. It's theatrical, culturally rich, a little on the burlesque side. This live version is so well executed and performed. Man if we played it, it would blow people's minds but would definitely be too heavy for most venues. Anyways, look us up. BLUES GATOR, on Facebook. Gotta go, bye.
I think some people were put off by his show style gimmicks and never gave his music a chance. One of the greatest rock n roll artists of all time IMO. Excellent songwriter.
I consider all the early albums masterpeices
I was initially put off by the gimmicks. But I gave the music a chance; and after that I never even thought about the gimmicks. The shit was good.
Small minded fools, not being able to see the bigger picture
Are you kidding? People gravitated to his show!!
Frank Zappa hooked him up
Real musicians. Real voice. Real showmanship. Real that rarely exists today anymore.
Exactly, It’s hard to like something made using a computer and auto tune, this is real music!
Alice is a legend... be thankful we still have him
he is immortal

@SirHojack I think while all of them are great she seems to outplay all the guys on guitars.
HE SHOULD START DRINKING AGAIN

R Smith Alice is a Freeken God, and should be looked up to as one .
this song is the bomb.
I saw him on my 18th birthday, been a fan since I was 13... I'm 61 now!!
He is my cousin actually.😁 It's so cool, that I'm related to him!🎤🎧🎵🎶🎸
I like the Live version better
Im so envy! I was born in 83. you guys lived with gpod music

Great band! Great drumming! Alice knows how to pick them.
I think the drums were the first thing they had for this song when writing it.

Alice Cooper - complete ROCK ICON - He puts on the best shows and his bands and performers are really great, all are professionals!
A real rocker,.a true professional. Hes put on a great show every time I've seen him. Worth every penny of a ticket!!
@Alice Cooper Detroit and now las Vegas
Born February 4, 1948 Alice Cooper - Thanks for the music, have a Happy Birthday! 👍
Absolutely the best concert I ever attended was an Alice Cooper concert. Grew up listening to him literally since birth :)
and this song - the drumming is a GOAT
Saw him at the Ohio State Fair. Great show
I seen Alice Cooper in the late 70’s. We had great seats & I left thinking that was the best show I e ever seen.

Better than coffee...at any time of the day or night. Alice Cooper forever!!!!
Saw him August 17.2024 in Tucson.Arizona.Hard loud rock
saw Alice in 72 all mascara macabre and rock n roll. I was sold and still am.
saw him at Roosevelt stadium in '73 with J. Giels Band. great show
Puts on a helluva show!

What a legendary opening riff!
One of the first concerts I ever saw...at 14 years old in 1977...it was an amazing show!
The sound recording on this is the FUNK.
I saw Alice in Greenville, SC on Halloween. It was the Brutal Planet Your. He did this show and shook bills, it looked like C-notes into the crowd. I was and still am a long-time Cooper fan and he didn't disappoint.
Alice Cooper always gives us a great show and the music too.🎶
THIS............ is how you put on a Show.
My FAVORITE Alice Cooper song EVER!!!! LOVE IT!!!
Another great song from Alice Cooper. It is awesome and timeless.🎶
March , 1990, Tupperware Auditorium 10th Row. Caught a poster Alice Tossed from onstage 😊

joonas lehtonen woooow... love your taste in music. I love hanoi rocks too
always has a tight band. Real rock and roll. Gotta love him.
I've seen Alice several times, in the mid 70's to early 80's, and he put on one of the best show's ever, and I've seen many big bands.
By far, one of my favorites!
Wish i could watch him live.... love this man.
He currently is on a spring tour if you want to check that out!
I never had an opinion about Alice Cooper til listening to him on 96.1 rock. He always picks the best songs.
Alice rocks!!!
Great! Nice drumming by Jonathan Mover
Alice Trashes The World tour. Love the whole DVD and love this band line up
The guy was able to make Alice a male sinister name! His music style is one of a kind … legend

He's playing our song my lovelies!!
What a pretty breathtaking woman ,hello my darling?
They don't realize how good he was
Still IS.
Great song by a Michigan rocker with Donovan singing back up vocal track on the studio version! No shit ! Great story of how it happened!

Written by the GREAT Rockin Reggie!!! Poor guy now has dementia after having a stroke AND heart attack!! But he was an amazing musician and song writer!!!
Co-written. But that doesn't take away from his contribution to some of the greatest AC band's hits. It was a chemistry between all involved.

Любимая песня на всю жизнь.
alice ruled the wrld when this was released-great remaster this time
Way to nail the ending live!
I just miss those good old days
What happened im to the 18 video,?
How many household arguments between teenagers and their parents did Alice Cooper instigate back in his heyday ???!!!###
Cooper needs to get a keyboard player back into his live shows. It will add an extra dimension to so many of his songs, especially those that had keyboards and piano
He does, i rather him get rid of one of the guitarist in favor of a keyboardist. When i saw him 2 years ago it sounded like crap with 3 guitars playing at the same time. Needs a new band in general, they looked bored when i saw them and they got blown away by Edgar Winter and Deep Purple
I agree. He didn't have one when I saw him live in 2011 and Feed My Frankenstein in particular just sounds off without it.
Alice Cooper coming soon on Fortnite
one of my favs!!
Silly Halloween there. These shows have a lot of satirical pomposity along with an old Hollywood circus kind of absurdity to it. This is a theater musical.
