I've always felt "Muscle Of Love" was their best album. It's certainly my favorite. The band was coming apart at the seams yet recorded their best work. No disrespect intended to any of the great musicians who have backed Alice on his solo albums and tours but this just sounds right. Miss GB but he didn't play on this one anyway.
Glad you have the exceptional taste to say MoL is underrated, i can only confirm: UNDERRATED! and remains one of those mysteries you will die with unsolved
I had the 8-track MoL on non stop repeat for about 6 months when I was 14. Was one of my favorites! Wish I could find a cardboard box vinyl for a reasonable amount... Maybe they'll do a reissue someday.
Alice has been my favorite since 1972, and it's always been my dream to see the original band. This comes close. Looks like Michael lost some weight. Good for him!
ah man this is so cool, i was there right up front. I was in heaven, i grew up on these guys. I think they played the Ryman or Bridgestone later that weekend.
Always a favorite Cooper song of mine. Nice to see the guys can still raise the roof. Honestly, I would have been more excited if this was twenty years ago. For many, still, a dream come true having the surviving members together again. Thanks for sharing Bryan, and for keeping me updated.
Never got to see the original band live I first saw Alice on the Welcome to my Nightmare tour and many tours after that so this great for me to watch I wish they would get back together for one more tour for the fans
People make bad comments on old rockers… Alice Cooper is one of the best, and keeps going for his fans. If it weren’t for him and all the others all the little babies in diapers wouldn’t have any body to direct them! They have electric shit to mask their shit!
Music Biz event in Nashville. Several famous musicians played. Alice Cooper producer Bob Ezrin was also given a lifetime achievement award. While in Nashville for the weekend, the OGs also played a set to close Alice Cooper's show in town the night before.
He can't play lead guitar that well.Not sure why he was playing the lead parts.Sounded like he didn't spend time learning the lead parts either. A few times he hit wrong notes fishing for the right key to play in.
Thank you Michael for writing all those great Alice Cooper songs.
This, boys and girls, is how it's done.
Big kudos to Alice for not upstaging the band or really being his character but just being a singer of a great rock'n'roll band.
Neal Smith still heavy as hell and Dennis Dunaway - What a great rhythm section
One of the best opening guitar riffs ever.
Wow! The sound at the 1:50 mark is insane! Never sounded better! The AC band ROCKS!😯👍❤
Michael Bruce riffs and leads are saamokin'!! If these guys did another album and a tour. I could die peacefully. This FU%$ING Rocks!!!
a new album is in the works.
Most of the time these old men getting together to relive their glory days turns out pretty disappointing, but this is actually really good
*This band NEEDS to do a full tour!!*
@Philip Holmes no huest stars just original Alice Cooper group.
This is Awesome! They should do a retrospective tour of the Original Alice Cooper band
It would be a MEGA success.

I still haven't heard that record. Time to find it, hopefully, on UA-cam.
I liked Killer.
They were definitely heading towards a more mature sound. It's one of my favorites as well
@@donhurst8459 I said this to Alice myself when I met him, he said he preferred Love it to Death ;)
Killer
Love that they started with a song from my favorite Cooper album.
Happy 50th anniversary to the album Muscle Of Love, released on this day 1973
Wow haven't listened to this in years. Forgotten how BRILLIANT it is x
"Muscle of Love" is one of the most underrated and overpackaged albums of all time
Lol... always had a hard time fitting it into my album shelf... but I wore out two copies of it!!!

Amen, no band had more impact on me since -72 then 8 years old
ah man this is so cool, i was there right up front. I was in heaven, i grew up on these guys. I think they played the Ryman or Bridgestone later that weekend.
Another album and tour would work. New material. The true fans would appreciate it

there several Alice Cooper FB groups
I would not waste my time belonging to any of them ...
not a waste of time at all, esp Alice Cooper Group 1966-1974
I meant the Facebook discussion groups.
I meant FB too. Lots of photos, and it's about the original group
This is absolutely amazing!!!
Can hear the professionalism and power, great song great album,it really is special reminiscing and listening and thinking back.
These guys sound incredible! Miss the Blonde Bomber here, but wow. Just wow!!
Muscle is a great album.
Saw the original band on march 16. 1973. My 15 birthday,still have ticket stub,billion dollar babies tour.my first concert of hundreds since.
This is a great rocker that I believe Michael wrote. The band is really jamming on this one.
The fantastic on stage chemistry is still there.. Which you just don't get with Alice solo players
Bruce is an outstanding guitarist and composer. Baxton is an exceptional solo guitarist. He was a dream band.
💖🎸👍💯😎🇭🇷🇺🇲💢🗯
This is great but it’s a shame the ACG reunion didn’t take place while GB was still with us.
Sounds great with the headphones on. Love that bass.
Now all you young upcoming guitarists, bassists and drummers. That's how you do it. Hope you took notes.
Never got to see the original band live I first saw Alice on the Welcome to my Nightmare tour and many tours after that so this great for me to watch
I wish they would get back together for one more tour for the fans
We need a movie about Alice Cooper
RIP Glen you are a legend
Awesome!!

Unreal!! Freaking so good I can't take it
My First Band i love ,AC MB GB NS and DENNIS D....1973
great song
Meu primeiro LP de rock - Muscle of Love
Thats rock n roll kids!
Killer,gotta love it !! 🤘😝🎶
Original line-up.... *aaaaaaaand,* Dennis Dunaway *bitches!* - Plays with a pick and never misses a lick~!~!
🤘
too bad Alice won't ditch his present band and go back with these guys. Where's Mike Mashbir?
Might even be better than The Might Fist of Love. ;)
Jesus only one kinda looks like they used to !!!
Time is a mean Bitch !!!!
I was raised as one of Alice's bastard childs...
How did this come about???
Music Biz event in Nashville. Several famous musicians played. Alice Cooper producer Bob Ezrin was also given a lifetime achievement award. While in Nashville for the weekend, the OGs also played a set to close Alice Cooper's show in town the night before.
From Detroit the bomb
who is guitarist w MB?
Ryan Roxie. He's listed in the description.
Sadly lost his voice like the other legends of that time
Love me some Dennis Dunaway rolling bass lines, but damn Bruce still can’t play
lol and you can right
I didn't want to come out and say it, but they definitely train wrecked coming out of the first midsection.
He can't play lead guitar that well.Not sure why he was playing the lead parts.Sounded like he didn't spend time learning the lead parts either. A few times he hit wrong notes fishing for the right key to play in.
Hey, it's three chords and the truth. That was all Bruce needed to help write some of the best Cooper Band material.
The idiotic comments on this thread are very entertaining.
Please exit yourselves quickly and never return.
To bed that's not the original Alice Cooper band
4 out of 5. All of the surviving members are here.
Guitarist wearing Depends.
Thats rock n roll man.
