Oh and I love Snakebite.

First song I heard from Alice Cooper was "No More Mr. Nice Guy", I still remember like the first time I heard it in the car with my dad. He gave me a little background on the band and I looked up a few of their songs and bam, I was hooked. I love "Feed My Frankenstein" and "Billion Dollar Babies", and I'm learning "School's Out" on my guitar, hehe.

I much prefer classic Alice rather than 80s Alice.
I just find his 80s metal period to be a bit.. boring, for lack of a better word.
I still like it, but nowhere near as much as I love albums like "Love it to death" or "easy action". Y'know, back when Alice Cooper was a band.
The guy himself is an absolute legend; the only man who could get away with wearing a pink leotard and still rock:

*nods in agreement*
...except I have seen other men pull off pink leotards.
I had a long phase of general...not hatred, but disinterest in him.
But a few years back, I had a free ticket to the County Fair, and he was playing, I figured "Why not?He played with Marc Bolan, and I love Marilyn.."
And it was actually a much better show than I was expecting.
I'd never heard Black Widow before, and I loved the guitar riff in it..very Glam/Punk sounding.
But yeah, I definitely prefer the older stuff as well.
And, while I don't care for his politics, he leaves it out of the music, so it works out all right.
I also enjoyed Wish I Was Born In Beverly Hills, and the Paris Hilton mocking stage antics that went with it.

Ooooh now you got my attention.

(slobbers at the mention of POLITICS *giggle*)

I like the band a lot.I think that golf playing vocalist is aging well.I've seen him less than 10 feet away with no obvious makeup.

I like 'em perty, but his "tore up" looks f.i.n.e fine to me

What is he,on the political spectrum anyway?

Speaking of heroes, I'm making a bust of him for my art assignment
In my art class we have to make a clay bust of either a hero or a villain.

I love Alice. I can't imagine a world without him. His back catalogue covers so many sub genres of rock whilst remaining true to the concept of 'Alice Cooper'. What a legend.

My introduction to Alice Cooper was seeing the cover to Alice Cooper Goes To Hell in a record store window when I was about 5, and asking my Dad if it was Frankenstein(I was obsessed with monsters as a kid, and watched The Monster Squad-TV show, not the 80s movie- religiously.)
"No, that's Alice Cooper. He sings about the Devil."

...I was rather disappointed when I found out Dad was wrong.

Just like my Grandma, who-like Hitlary and Waffles McCain- was a Goldwater girl in the 60s.

My grandma met him while she campaigned for him.
Unfortunately, she seems to vote GOP no matter who the GOP is.
I always avoid politics with her....she's getting frail and I don't want to hurt her feelings, and I can get intense in debates.

I'm dedicatedly nonpartisan, and liberal...which is why I don't want Hitlary. She's too conservative for my standard, and too eager for war.
BUT...in the spirit of Mr. Cooper, I'm ending my discussion of politics in THIS thread after a quick Goldwater link.

When I was a teenager, I could really relate to his song "I'm 18." It got me through a lot. Seen him live too on the Constrictor tour. Alice kills.

Alice Cooper has done the bleedin' lot.
Ballads, shock rock, hard rock, heavy rock, disco, well you name it, he's almost certainly done it. All done Alice style though and that's what seems to set him apart from the rest.
Love him to death.

I first came across Alice when I saw The Decline of Western Civilization on VH1 in junior high. I had already been listening to Twisted Sister, and I thought, this guy looked ridiculously awesome, so why wasn't I listening to him? He did sing that "School's Out" song after all...... "Poison" was the song that got me hooked, and "Billion Dollar Babies" was the song that kept me in. He quickly became my personal hero, but i had to listen to him in semi-secret because my mother was not the biggest fan. She was one of those KISS=Kings in Satans Service types....you know what I mean. It wasn't until college that I finally got her to just listen to him so she'd stop bugging me...once....just once. A "You and Me" got her, and that was the end of that conflict. Alice, bringing people together.
I was curious if anyone has listened to his recent stuff because it's going back to his 70's roots and I rather like it. I've been going backwards chronologically in collecting his albums on CD (all my music is digital, these days) and I recently got Brutal Planet and Dragontown and they are fantastic I think. They've got this really heavy industrial sound like Trash (my favorite album) but this really twisted underlying story/moral message that reminds me of From the Inside or Welcome to My Nightmare. It's freakin' awesome. By the way....anyone heard any news on Along Came a Spider? I've heard it's a double concept album about a serial killer named "Spider." I anticipate greatness......
