Alice is one of the nicest people you would ever meet. He was a 20 year friend of Glen Campbells and he gave a very heartfelt video statement upon his passing. Alice also raises a lot of money for charity in Arizona.
Whomever suggested, should start with studio version. If your going to suggest live should be something more theatrical " Ballad of Dwight Frye". This particular band is way too 80's hairband. Poor choice.. His band in the early 2,000 Diamonds tour far better.
Alice really does know how to put on a show. And yes this one is pretty tame in comparison to some of his other songs. Alice is considered the father of shock rock. His shows are very much 'a show'.
Alice Cooper was the name of the band when they formed in 1964. When the band broke up in 1974, lead singer Vincent Furnier legally changed his name to Alice Cooper and embarked on a solo career. School's Out is the title track of the 1972 album. Other songs to check out: I'm Eighteen, Welcome to My Nightmare, Hey Stoopid, Poison.
This was the title track of the album School's Out Released June, 30,1972. Fun fact, He also has a Doctorate in American History. You can see some of his knowledge come out in the movie Wayne's World. He ad-libbed the scene where he gave the history behind the name of the city of Milwaukee.
First off...Lulu just cracks me up. Secondly, Alice Cooper is the Godfather of Shock Rock, he puts on a show on top of the music, as you can see here. He had a 90s hit called Ppison I think you all may like. Keep up the good work ladies.
He had a lot of great hits early on but my favorite album all time was his 1973 album Love It To Death. It had a bunch of hits and a bunch of fan favorites on it, I'm Eighteen from that album is so classic and I bet you all would love it. A definite coming of age song, and it rocks hard.
Great reaction, ladies! I saw Alice perform live several times when I was younger in the 70s. The shows were wild! IRL, he was nothing like his stage persona.
Alice Cooper has done a lot of wild shows, like simulating guillotining his head off. I only saw him once in concert, though. This song originally came out in the 1970s.
From the 70s to being in his 70s, Alice still puts on the best live show in rock n roll. This is the song that gets him guaranteed airplay at the end of the school year all over the world every year since 1972
First live concert I ever went to when I was 16 was Alice cooper. Hara arena in Dayton Ohio. It was his first album. It was incredible. He had snakes on stage, a guillotine and maybe a baby doll? It was 50 years ago. But it was fun. Later in life I learned more about him. He plays golf. He plays in celebrity tournaments. He's just a normal guy that created this character back in the 70s. He hid his true life from everyone to keep the mystic growing. He is a brilliant man that knew what he was doing. He's retired now so now you see who he truly is. A marketing genius.
My wife and I saw him and his band about 7 years ago outside of Houston. They were opening for Deep Purple but they put on a HELL of a show!! He's only two or three years older then me but his energy puts me to shame!! 🤣🤣🤣
Alice Cooper was in the Johnny Depp movie of Dark Shadows .They used to have a guillotine in the act , also a large snake . This came out in 1990 , the song came out in '72 , during my sophomore year .
Schools Out released in April 1972 just in time for my high school graduation. Now for something a little more wild. Tubes - White Punks On Dope (1977 R0X M1X)
Nah, 1972. You're seeing footage from at least 15 years later. If nothing else just check out the studio track that was the hit on the radio and a lot of people like me bought the 45 RPM single
That is about as tame and non-theatrical presentation the whole concert. Alice puts on a show that is a direct descendant of the old vaudeville shows. Numerous props and characters.
Love me some Alice C. Great rocker with a number of great songs. Always dressed for the occasion in his concerts. BTW if you think he just does rocker songs, I've got him on a live play of "Jesus Christ Super Star". So he is a versatile singer, not just what is mostly seen. I think he mostly likes to dress as a shocker rocker and it's reflected in most concerts.
If you listen to his radio show he is not in your face about it but he is a very religious person. The on stage persona and the man in real life are not the same.
Alice Cooper shows we're horror meets Vaudeville. He was the godfather of shock rock. He came out around the same time as KISS. You can't imagine our eyes when we saw both bands. Shocking cool. My friend Nita Strauss plays guitar for him and has for the last few years.
Alice Cooper is 75 yrs of age and he's still recording and touring as 'evil Alice Cooper' ... This was an anthem of rebellion released in 1972 from the album of the same name "School's out" 🤘🤘🔥🔥 In real life, he was born Vincent Furnier to a Christian pastor dad who was a rock n' roll music fan, and he married the daughter of a Christian pastor - his wife Sheryl, since the 70's... Sheryl is a ballet and theater dancer and performed w/ Alice Cooper on tour in 1975. They married soon after and both are devout Christians... not the psychotic character that Alice Cooper is on stage. Vincent Furnier was born in Michigan and like most kids in the 60's, grew up on The Beatles... He and his friends formed a Beatles tribute band called The Earwigs in high school... After graduating, the band became more theatrical and started using Halloween decorations on stage and called themselves The Spiders... Eventually, they were signed to Frank Zappa's label in the late 60's and needed a new name... Vincent was the singer and suggested the name Alice Cooper... The new Alice Cooper band wanted to shock audiences and dressed in glittery clothes and looked very intimidating... Vincent drew black eyeliner patterns on his eyes and looked deranged onstage... Audiences were so appalled by the band's appearance that they would freak out and leave. As the Alice Cooper band did concerts, people kept calling Vincent 'Alice'... and he was a bit confused by it, but he soon embraced the notoriety and legally changed his name to Alice Cooper to the shock of his parents 😲😲Alice Cooper's first 2 albums sold poorly and Zappa had to sell his label to Warner Bros. records in 1970 - they were not thrilled w/ having Alice Cooper on their roster of artists. However, they found a manager who believed in the band - Shep Gordon... He saw how audiences freaked out and left at an Alice Cooper show and thought that was 'powerful'... They just needed to harness that power and use it to draw people in. He brought in Canadian producer Bob Ezrin who loved the band and signed on to work w/ Alice Cooper (Bob Ezrin would become a huge producer working w/ bands like Pink Floyd, Kiss, Peter Gabriel, Deep Purple, etc.) ... Ezrin rebuilt the Alice Cooper band sonically, which featured - Alice Cooper (lead vocals), Glen Buxton and Michael Bruce (guitars), Dennis Dunaway (bass) and Neal Smith (drums) ...They released a new single 'Eighteen' in 1970 and it shocked everyone by becoming a huge hit on radio... Alice Cooper was in demand and finished their 3rd album 'Love it to death' in 1971, which became a platinum success. With fame came money... bigger shows... more elaborate theatrical production... After the 'Killer' album in 1971, Alice Cooper would perform w/ a live snake onstage for a song... He set the bar for 'shock rocker' in the 70's and inspired every theatrical band from Kiss to Rob Zombie. Alice Cooper was playing arenas and stadium after the albums "School's out" (1972) and 'Billion dollar babies' (1973)... Unfortunately, the band and Alice Cooper reached a breaking point by 1974 and the singer split w/ his band and went solo in 1975. Alice Cooper announced his first album as a solo artist 'Welcome to my nightmare' in 1975 and an elaborate tour for the album... Thankfully, it became a hit record selling platinum that year. Alice met his wife Sheryl who was a dancer on his tour and they soon married... However, Alice Cooper was also losing his battle w/ alcoholism and checked into a mental institution to sober up and get treated in 1978. He was clean for a few years, but his record sales were dropping by then... In the early 80's, he relapsed and abused alcohol to the point where he was near death and had to be hospitalized and nearly wrecked his marriage. In 1983, Alice Cooper finally made a final effort to get clean and saved his marriage... also briefly walking away from showbiz for a few years. A fully sober Alice Cooper made his comeback in 1986 w/ the album 'Constrictor' and was determined to reclaim his place as the original shock rocker... His 1989 album 'Trash' became a platinum selling record after a decade w/ the hit single 'Poison'... Alice Cooper also appeared as himself in the comedy movie "Wayne's World" in 1992, but the 90's grunge rock era had again shafted his popularity. He kept touring in the 90's and eventually did better in the 2000's w/ albums like 'Brutal Planet' (2000)... 'Dragontown' (2002)... He finally also released a sequel album in 2011 - 'Welcome 2 my nightmare'... and has also been rejuvenated by his live band that featured 3 guitarists - female shredder Orianthi played in Alice Cooper's band for a few years and was replaced by guitarist Nita Strauss. Alice Cooper's latest album 'Road' in 2023 is his 29th album. Alice Cooper also formed the band Hollywood Vampires w/ actor Johnny Depp (guitar) and Aerosmith's Joe Perry (guitar) Some more Alice Cooper classics - 'Eighteen' ... 'Billion dollar babies' ... 'No more Mr. Nice Guy' ... 'Only women bleed' ... 'Welcome to my nightmare' ... 'Hey stoopid' ... 'House of fire' ... 'Poison' ... 'Lost in America' ... 'Caffeine'... 'Feed my Frankenstein'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘
I saw Alice 3 times in the early 70s. I still have the beer bottle he gave me in 1973 at the Holiday Inn in Roanoke Virginia. Yes, they were crazy on stage! This is a mild performance.
Alice lives here in Arizona. I have had the pleasure of meeting him twice and he couldnt have been nicer. He sure puts on a great show. Years ago he took part in a live broadcast on tv and radio of A CHRISTMAS CAROL . He played the boy at the end who scrooge asked to get the big goose. Such a treat. He talked of how great a rock opera of a Christmas Carol would be. Wish he had of been able to pull it off. Great guy. Wife was also a pleasure to meet.
When i was younger,i called Alice "the grandpa of rockers",and when you look at him with his black makeup on,he surely looks like the father of the guys in KISS,eventhough they are not far away in age lol. He is very intense on stage,but the funny and ironic part is that he has such a "friendly neighbour" type of personality. I remember as a kid and teen,that many intimidating rockers would surprise me with theyr personalities. I guess i pictured them alot more "wild and reckless" also in theyr personalities,when i didnt know any better. I know this man best for Poison of course,and "Hes back,the man behind the mask",wich was his song about Jason Voorhees,the main character in the horror franchise Friday The 13th. I got into him because he has had 2 of the best female guitar players in the world with him on tour for years,first the Australian madame and also solo artist by the name Orianthi (she also played with Michael Jackson at some point,i believe,and other famous artists) To be replaced by someone that actually looks up to Orianthi,the stunning and amazing Nita Strauss. She collaborates with many of the leading vocalists out there today,with her solo music. Both these ladies has tons of tour picures with Alice on theyr IG accounts. But yeah,Alice Cooper with makeup on would be so intense and intimidating for my grandma,she would look at him as a crazy person Lulu`s eye for detail about the guys never stops amusing me!
First concert I went to. 1975, Sam Houston Coliseum, Houston. I was 14...His main influence was classic horror films...@9:26: The expression on your face when he licks the guitar is exquisite...Heh...
Can you please react to the Alice Cooper concert from Hellfest 2022 (you can find the full concert here on UA-cam? They shortened it about half an hour so the video is about an hour long . I just think it would be really cool to see your reaction to a little more Alice Cooper and this tour has many of his classic songs so you would get a good look into his discography. I'll even pay for the reaction, here is 10$ . Greetings from Germany and i hope you'll do it . You don't have to do the full concert in one video maybe you can do about 3 songs each video
react to more alice i met him 7 times he is an amazing guy and his music is so good! react to elected , clones , be my lover , im eighteen , you and me , how you gonna see me now and i never cry he has much more than this one song! i hope to see more alice soon
This song I heard when I was in School and I am now 64. I my days we called this music Hard Rock in Germany. There were no sub divisions like meatl etc.. Needless to say Alice is one heck of a geezer. And, privatly, I think he is a a nice guy.
Alice, born Vincent to a Baptist minister and his wife of course in Detriot Michigan. His good firend Groucho Marxs was the first to proclaim that his show was vaudeville. Still at the age of 75 he has put out a new album and is out on tour. Songs you should check out would be Welcome to my Nightmare, I Love the Dead, 18, Muscle of Love, Dead Babies, or maybe Only Women Bleed. Yes these are a little more in his Shock Rock songs. He has also nightly either been Electrocuted, Hanged, but usually it is the Guillotine. Enjoy your reactions keep up the good work.
He is actually a Christian now though. I've no idea whether he always was and then lapsed and rediscovered it. But the stage show was always a stage show as far as I’m aware. Others can correct me if I’m wrong.
I saw Alice Cooper in concert and it was amazing he brought out a python around his neck about 20 ft long dragging it along the stage truly unforgettable great reaction to a bad a#@ song
I saw Alice in this tour in Manchester, ive seen him over 20 times always a great show, yes this was a tame clip, catch doing Stephen then into i love the dead where he uses the guillotine to behead himself, other props hanging himself from gallows and the electric chair. A strange case of tour had the giant cyclops, Alice,s shows were always theatrical with good hard driving music. During his Billion dollar babies tour here in the UK religious groups protested outside the concert venues and tried to ban him from the country. The original shock rocker.
All Alice Cooper songs have a message of goodness to them, don't let the few words invade your mind too soon, hear the full song first (from bad life experience in his songs he turns them into a good one are his end messages). Best band to see live
Hahaha. This song is a right of passage for every school kid. Alice Cooper (Vincent Furnier) has a crazy fun silly live show You wouldn’t know it by his stage presence & performance but he’s a very spiritual guy who doesn’t do drugs or drink anymore and dose a lot of things for young musicians and an avid golfer.
So great. I loved it fifty years ago (!) and it still sounds great. It was considered a kind of glamour rock back then, and some called it shock rock. He really has taken good care of his voice, he still can sing like that, great. He also plays in a band with Johnny Depp on guitar!
No, actually his father was a minister...the song "No more Mr Niceguy" speaks to this. His religious family took alot of heat behind his sinister stage persona.
Check out Alice Cooper one and only love song You and Me. He wrote it for his wife many years ago. His wife was a dancer/performer in his show. They are still married all these years later.
Alice Cooper is an icon and a OG of shock. I have had the pleasure of seeing Alice a few times in Concert and even got to see Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie play a concert together Two different generation shows. Rob Zombie is somewhat more current and technical while Alice Cooper is super over the top spectacular wizard of theater. I watched him die 7 different horrible deaths live in one concert😮😮😮😮😅😅😅 it was great. This song is an anthem that drove every school yeear through most of the Seveties then just carried on. I am enjoying a lot of your different generational reactions. I my self will be 61 in a few weeks but when it comes to good music there is only the music. I started watching you because of your Angelina Jordan journey. I got to see Angelina perform September 22 2023. Keep up the great reactions and if you all play then Keep on Playing!😊 Bluesfingers1
Combined Cult horror films and music. Total Audio and Visual entertainment w/ hooks and solid musicians. Sadly, looking at much of his material in 2024 creates lots of questions for those awake. Yet, still some great straight R&R classics.
You 3 should go see Alice perform together. It is very common for multiple generations to attend his current concerts together. And one of his amazing guitarists, Nita Strauss, is just brilliant and a great inspiration for future female musicians. She has some great solos music out. Should check out "Dead Inside" in which David Draiman, lead singer for the band Disturbed sings lead vocals... She will blow your mind!
Now the other thing is Alice Cooper was a Big time Fan of Harry Houdini who die in Detroit. So going to see Alice Cooper live in Detroit Michigan was Alice playing Harry Houdini. If you don't know Harry Houdini look him up.
At one time Alice played this after Pink Floyd the Wall back in the day. Talk about his stage actions he almost strangled to death for one song the nuse was too tight when he fell
Check out his 80's suff also. "Poison" , "Bed of Nails" "Love's a Loaded Gun", "He's Back".. for example. There's a really good cover of Schools Out also with "Cretu & Thiers". If you like 80's.
Alice is one of the nicest people you would ever meet. He was a 20 year friend of Glen Campbells and he gave a very heartfelt video statement upon his passing. Alice also raises a lot of money for charity in Arizona.
This one was pratically an anthem for kids in school in the early seventies.
I was there.
Hell yes, we sang this on the school bus going home on the last day of school.
An aunt of mine was a teacher for about 40 years and she told me that teachers loved hearing it just as much as the students did.
No practically about it. It was an anthem everyday 😂blasting from every car, especially on the last day❤😂😂
Whomever suggested, should start with studio version. If your going to suggest live should be something more theatrical
" Ballad of Dwight Frye". This particular band is way too 80's hairband. Poor choice..
His band in the early 2,000 Diamonds tour far better.
Alice really does know how to put on a show. And yes this one is pretty tame in comparison to some of his other songs. Alice is considered the father of shock rock. His shows are very much 'a show'.
Alice is The Shockfather!
Alice Cooper was the name of the band when they formed in 1964. When the band broke up in 1974, lead singer Vincent Furnier legally changed his name to Alice Cooper and embarked on a solo career. School's Out is the title track of the 1972 album. Other songs to check out: I'm Eighteen, Welcome to My Nightmare, Hey Stoopid, Poison.
Agree with all your choices... as a fan since the 70s, he has an amazing catalogue of great tunes
Alice is great and still puts on the at 75 as he did at 30! You should see the video from Wacken 2013. The song came out April 26, 1972.
Yes. My daughter was 8 days old 💥💥🤗👍🇬🇧!!!
It became number one in the UK on 12th August, day before I was born.
Alice Cooper is basically the performer's on-stage persona. He doesn't actually act this way in real life.
53 years old.I just saw Alice for the5th time.This guy puts on amazing theatrical show and he is a legend
This was the title track of the album School's Out Released June, 30,1972. Fun fact, He also has a Doctorate in American History. You can see some of his knowledge come out in the movie Wayne's World. He ad-libbed the scene where he gave the history behind the name of the city of Milwaukee.
Alice still tours like a madman. 200 + shows a year. Keep an eye on his website chances are he's coming to a town near you.
I'm finally gonna meet him next year ❤
He looks like this but has been happily married for 40 years, don't ever do drugs and his passion is golfing.
Si consumía ahí estaba delgado el lo dice .. alcohol cocaína.. luego ya se rehabilitó...
First off...Lulu just cracks me up. Secondly, Alice Cooper is the Godfather of Shock Rock, he puts on a show on top of the music, as you can see here. He had a 90s hit called Ppison I think you all may like. Keep up the good work ladies.
Need to watch early cooper from mid 70’s
He had a lot of great hits early on but my favorite album all time was his 1973 album Love It To Death. It had a bunch of hits and a bunch of fan favorites on it, I'm Eighteen from that album is so classic and I bet you all would love it. A definite coming of age song, and it rocks hard.
LOve It To Death album was released in 1971. T
Great reaction, ladies! I saw Alice perform live several times when I was younger in the 70s. The shows were wild! IRL, he was nothing like his stage persona.
One of the best stage shows I've seen. Its half rock concert and half stage show its like watching a rock opera.
Alice Cooper has done a lot of wild shows, like simulating guillotining his head off. I only saw him once in concert, though. This song originally came out in the 1970s.

Alice the original shock Rocker! Love the song "Billion Dollar Babies"!
...with lead vocals duties shared by Donovan Leitch.
that song came out in 1972
check his song, You and Me then do teenage Frankenstein it will show you how wide his range is musically.
First live concert I ever went to when I was 16 was Alice cooper. Hara arena in Dayton Ohio. It was his first album. It was incredible. He had snakes on stage, a guillotine and maybe a baby doll?

His story is deep. It goes through some dark places and comes out so bright.
Alice Cooper was in the Johnny Depp movie of Dark Shadows .They used to have a guillotine in the act , also a large snake . This came out in 1990 , the song came out in '72 , during my sophomore year .
Used to? He still uses the guillotine and the snake
@@sophiecooper1824 Not having seen one of his shows in years , I spoke in the past tense in order to err on the safe side .
@@bobbrinkerhoff3592 makes sense. But yes he still tours and he still uses both . I'll see him live next year in June and I'm also gonna meet him
@@sophiecooper1824 have a great time that night .
@@bobbrinkerhoff3592 thank you 😊
Schools Out released in April 1972 just in time for my high school graduation. Now for something a little more wild. Tubes - White Punks On Dope (1977 R0X M1X)
Listen to "You and Me". I couldn't believe that was Alice Cooper.
They played this on the last day of school and during the summer every year when I was growing up. It's very nostalgic for me.
Still remember finishing 11th grade and singing this one on the way home with my buddy on a summer's day.
You need to check out his song Poison it was I think his biggest hit
Sang it on the last day of class in elementary school every year in the 70s.
Nah, 1972. You're seeing footage from at least 15 years later. If nothing else just check out the studio track that was the hit on the radio and a lot of people like me bought the 45 RPM single
The live show is fun, but the studio version is so much better. (ICONIC song Lulu)
i love alice cooper try welcome to my nightmare great song

My friend Nita Strauss plays guitar for him and has for the last few years.
Alice Cooper ... Only Women Bleed... and find a live version.
We used to sing this on the playground in grade school, laugh.
I saw them in concert in Louisiana in the late 70's
Alice Cooper is now in his 70s and STILL records and tours. Y'all rock on
The first guy I went out with in 1973 looked like Alice and who we called Alice introduced me to this song as we sang it the last day of school
Alice Cooper is 75 yrs of age and he's still recording and touring as 'evil Alice Cooper' ... This was an anthem of rebellion released in 1972 from the album of the same name "School's out" 🤘🤘🔥🔥

Alice was my first concert in 86. Tickets were 13 $ . I've seen him many times since , and he Never fails to deliver ! You all should go see him !!!
I SAW THEM LIVE PERFORMANCE THREE TIMES, EACH SHOW WAS TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND CALLED "SHOCK ROCK"😲😲😎😎👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤❤
Alice was born Vincent furnier in Detroit Michigan raised in Phoenix Arizona. He legally changed his name to Alice Cooper.🤘
I saw Alice 3 times in the early 70s. I still have the beer bottle he gave me in 1973 at the Holiday Inn in Roanoke Virginia. Yes, they were crazy on stage! This is a mild performance.
I have seen Alice Cooper 3 times live. He puts on a crazy show.
Alice lives here in Arizona. I have had the pleasure of meeting him twice and he couldnt have been nicer. He sure puts on a great show. Years ago he took part in a live broadcast on tv and radio of A CHRISTMAS CAROL . He played the boy at the end who scrooge asked to get the big goose. Such a treat. He talked of how great a rock opera of a Christmas Carol would be. Wish he had of been able to pull it off. Great guy. Wife was also a pleasure to meet.
I've seen him in concert over a dozen times!
Wow, that's awesome.
When i was younger,i called Alice "the grandpa of rockers",and when you look at him with his black makeup on,he surely looks like the father of the guys in KISS,eventhough they are not far away in age lol. He is very intense on stage,but the funny and ironic part is that he has such a "friendly neighbour" type of personality. I remember as a kid and teen,that many intimidating rockers would surprise me with theyr personalities. I guess i pictured them alot more "wild and reckless" also in theyr personalities,when i didnt know any better.
I know this man best for Poison of course,and "Hes back,the man behind the mask",wich was his song about Jason Voorhees,the main character in the horror franchise Friday The 13th.
I got into him because he has had 2 of the best female guitar players in the world with him on tour for years,first the Australian madame and also solo artist by the name Orianthi (she also played with Michael Jackson at some point,i believe,and other famous artists) To be replaced by someone that actually looks up to Orianthi,the stunning and amazing Nita Strauss. She collaborates with many of the leading vocalists out there today,with her solo music.
Both these ladies has tons of tour picures with Alice on theyr IG accounts. But yeah,Alice Cooper with makeup on would be so intense and intimidating for my grandma,she would look at him as a crazy person
Lulu`s eye for detail about the guys never stops amusing me!
Another anthem for the kids of the 70’s that loved to party was by The Godz “Gotta Keep a Runnin”
First concert I went to. 1975, Sam Houston Coliseum, Houston. I was 14...His main influence was classic horror films...@9:26: The expression on your face when he licks the guitar is exquisite...Heh...
He is from Detroit Michigan and his Halloween show in Detroit MI in the 70's was out of control. Alice chops of his own head in the show.
"POISON" the best!
a ferocious anthem. mr. cooper is not only a very intelligent man, iirc, he was operatically trained.
SHOCK ROCK.
Shoulda found a video of the original band from 1972. Absolutely blows this away!
Can you please react to the Alice Cooper concert from Hellfest 2022 (you can find the full concert here on UA-cam? They shortened it about half an hour so the video is about an hour long . I just think it would be really cool to see your reaction to a little more Alice Cooper and this tour has many of his classic songs so you would get a good look into his discography.
I'll even pay for the reaction, here is 10$ .
Greetings from Germany and i hope you'll do it . You don't have to do the full concert in one video maybe you can do about 3 songs each video
Thanks
@@KathyLuluandDonna so will you do it ?
react to more alice i met him 7 times he is an amazing guy and his music is so good! react to elected , clones , be my lover , im eighteen , you and me , how you gonna see me now and i never cry he has much more than this one song! i hope to see more alice soon
The album "Schools out" is from 1972. My favorite song from this album is "My Stars".... Awesomeness.
One of my first acid trip in the early 70s ! The Album Love it to death ! And i saw them in Montreal in the 70s ! Yes it s an old song !😎
Every show is a theatrical production.
This song I heard when I was in School and I am now 64. I my days we called this music Hard Rock in Germany. There were no sub divisions like meatl etc.. Needless to say Alice is one heck of a geezer. And, privatly, I think he is a a nice guy.
"Halo of Flies" is a great epic song from 1971. Listen to the studio album version.
I remember blasting this out of my 8-track player as I drove home on my very last day of school in 1976!
Went to the Billion dollar babies concert in 73 still my top tier performance of all time in my life, should react to that whole album.🔥🔥
Alice, born Vincent to a Baptist minister and his wife of course in Detriot Michigan.
His good firend Groucho Marxs was the first to proclaim that his show was vaudeville.
Still at the age of 75 he has put out a new album and is out on tour.
Songs you should check out would be Welcome to my Nightmare, I Love the Dead, 18, Muscle of Love, Dead Babies, or maybe Only Women Bleed.
Yes these are a little more in his Shock Rock songs.
He has also nightly either been Electrocuted, Hanged, but usually it is the Guillotine.
Enjoy your reactions keep up the good work.
Thanks
He is actually a Christian now though. I've no idea whether he always was and then lapsed and rediscovered it. But the stage show was always a stage show as far as I’m aware. Others can correct me if I’m wrong.
I saw Alice Cooper in concert and it was amazing he brought out a python around his neck about 20 ft long dragging it along the stage truly unforgettable great reaction to a bad a#@ song
I saw Alice in this tour in Manchester, ive seen him over 20 times always a great show, yes this was a tame clip, catch doing Stephen then into i love the dead where he uses the guillotine to behead himself, other props hanging himself from gallows and the electric chair. A strange case of tour had the giant cyclops, Alice,s shows were always theatrical with good hard driving music. During his Billion dollar babies tour here in the UK religious groups protested outside the concert venues and tried to ban him from the country. The original shock rocker.
YES you're very right it did come out in 1972!!!
All Alice Cooper songs have a message of goodness to them, don't let the few words invade your mind too soon, hear the full song first (from bad life experience in his songs he turns them into a good one are his end messages). Best band to see live
Alice Cooper video of the song elected would be a cool one for you to react to. The song debut came in 1973 or 1974
This is a generational teenage rebellion song! ❤😊 I love it! 😊
Hahaha. This song is a right of passage for every school kid.
Alice Cooper (Vincent Furnier) has a crazy fun silly live show You wouldn’t know it by his stage presence & performance but he’s a very spiritual guy who doesn’t do drugs or drink anymore and dose a lot of things for young musicians and an avid golfer.
This song was released in 1972. I was 5 years old!
Congrats on discovering Alice --- I've been listening to him since 1971.
So great. I loved it fifty years ago (!) and it still sounds great. It was considered a kind of glamour rock back then, and some called it shock rock. He really has taken good care of his voice, he still can sing like that, great. He also plays in a band with Johnny Depp on guitar!
Wow
He’s a minister too and has quite the conversion story.
No, actually his father was a minister...the song "No more Mr Niceguy" speaks to this. His religious family took alot of heat behind his sinister stage persona.
This song came out in the late 70's.
This was recorded in Birmingham, UK. I was in that audience towards the back !! xx
That's awesome
Check out Alice Cooper one and only love song You and Me. He wrote it for his wife many years ago.
His wife was a dancer/performer in his show. They are still married all these years later.
Alice Cooper is an icon and a OG of shock. I have had the pleasure of seeing Alice a few times in Concert and even got to see Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie play a concert together Two different generation shows. Rob Zombie is somewhat more current and technical while Alice Cooper is super over the top spectacular wizard of theater. I watched him die 7 different horrible deaths live in one concert😮😮😮😮😅😅😅 it was great. This song is an anthem that drove every school yeear through most of the Seveties then just carried on. I am enjoying a lot of your different generational reactions. I my self will be 61 in a few weeks but when it comes to good music there is only the music. I started watching you because of your Angelina Jordan journey. I got to see Angelina perform September 22 2023. Keep up the great reactions and if you all play then Keep on Playing!😊

So Alice Cooper on Halloween was a show for Harry Houdini in Detroit where the best. He did many of them.
Combined Cult horror films and music. Total Audio and Visual entertainment w/ hooks and solid musicians. Sadly, looking at much of his material in 2024 creates lots of questions for those awake. Yet, still some great straight R&R classics.
LuLu, baby girl...."Scholl's out for summer" by Alice Cooper...it was released originally in the 1970's!!
You 3 should go see Alice perform together. It is very common for multiple generations to attend his current concerts together. And one of his amazing guitarists, Nita Strauss, is just brilliant and a great inspiration for future female musicians. She has some great solos music out. Should check out "Dead Inside" in which David Draiman, lead singer for the band Disturbed sings lead vocals... She will blow your mind!
Now the other thing is Alice Cooper was a Big time Fan of Harry Houdini who die in Detroit. So going to see Alice Cooper live in Detroit Michigan was Alice playing Harry Houdini. If you don't know Harry Houdini look him up.
Schools out is from the 70s.
At one time Alice played this after Pink Floyd the Wall back in the day. Talk about his stage actions he almost strangled to death for one song the nuse was too tight when he fell
THIS WAS ROCK BACK IN THE DAY!!!! WOOOOOT!!! IM AS OLD AS UR GRAMMA LOL
Saw Alice in the mid 70's.... This is TAME now, trust me... The simulated beheading was quite memorable, LoL ..
Check out his 80's suff also. "Poison" , "Bed of Nails" "Love's a Loaded Gun", "He's Back".. for example.
There's a really good cover of Schools Out also with "Cretu & Thiers". If you like 80's.
Maybe some 80's metal?
Million dollar baby.
alice coopers has loads of good songs
Sometimes it's written as "principles" while other times it's "principals". No one knows which one is right. It really doesn't matter.
you got to do Led zeppelin , in my time of dying!!! you have never heard drums like this! Such a COOL song!
Studio version is best
This is VERY tame. No snake, no guillotine, no giant spiders.....
halo of flies, brutal planet, Stephen and many other great Alice Cooper songs
At 3.16 that guitarist look and sound to me like a very young John Petrucci and I don't think I'm wrong.
