Any Alice Cooper fans?

I always loved listening to "School's Out" at the end of the school year.
Doesn't Alice have a talk show now or was that in bygone days?

I am watching his concerts on youtube tonight and also single songs. I have always liked him since high school or shortly after. He is one of a kind that's for sure!:rolleyes:

Big fan here! He was supposed to attend my youngest sister's wedding as her fiancée was touring with him at the time, but at the last minute he couldn't come. I was very disappointed.....that was the only reason I could see to come to the wedding. Couldn't stand her fiancée, for good reason. The marriage didn't last that long.

He is a great reason to go, yes. Sorry it didn't turn out as planned. Maybe you'll get another chance to see him yet. He's still touring and at his age.
 
I prefer the band (Muscle of Love and before) to the artist with various other band members backing him. Alice Cooper is one of the bands I still listen to regularly from the late 60's and early 70's. My favorite song is below.

 
Hollywood's quirkiest friendship blossomed between Groucho Marx and Alice Cooper, an unlikely pair who met during a Frank Sinatra birthday bash while performing "Lydia the Tattooed Lady." Their bond solidified in Beverly Hills, where Groucho’s insomnia led to midnight rendezvous with Cooper.

Cooper recalls the late-night hangouts with a grin:

“He had a chair next to his bed with a six-pack of Budweiser, and we’d sit and watch old movies. After about two films, I’d glance over and find him in his beret, cigar in hand, fast asleep. I'd put out his cigar, turn off the lights, and head home. The next night, same routine: ‘Hey Coop, can’t sleep, come on over.’”

Groucho wasn’t just a late-night buddy; he was a showbiz icon who’d bring his friends—like George Burns, Jack Benny, and Mae West—to Cooper’s concerts. Imagine ballet dancers dressed as skeletons spotting Fred Astaire in the wings!

It was Groucho who dubbed Alice’s horror-comedy performances “vaudeville,” a label Cooper embraced wholeheartedly.

“Before that, people called it ‘shock rock’ or ‘glam rock,’” Cooper said. “When Groucho called it ‘vaudeville,’ I thought, ‘Exactly! That’s it!’”

A bizarre yet endearing chapter in Hollywood’s rich tapestry.

Just was listening to this, thought I'd put it here. Not a really big fan, but we do have some of his songs on our CDs.

 
I grew up loving the Coop.

I met him at either Chickie & Pete's or Dave & Buster's (can't remember now), where he was doing a promotional thing for his nighttime radio show, which was expanding into the Philly market.

He did a Q&A, and signed autographs. He signed my Billion Dollar Babies and From The Inside albums. I even got a picture with him, but that is long gone, buried somewhere in a box in this house. LOL.

BTW... when asked, he said his favorite Alice Cooper song is Generation Landslide.

 
Alice is great. From the original band (their first album was released in 1969!) through 1983 with Dada. After that I kind of lost touch with him. I did buy Detroit Stores from 2021, but found it disappointing.

You really can't beat the period of 1969 through 1983 though. His current live shows have a mix of old and new, so that's okay.
 
Not a fan of his music. Did see a recent special from his home in Paradise Valley Arizona, a very upscale and high end area east of Phoenix. He is a born again Christian. Which looking at him in his earlier years, is impressive. He seems to have a solid gold heart now and has grown quite well as he gets older. He bought his house for $90,000 in the 70s. That was ALOT of money back in the 70s; it is now worth millions and is in as I said, Paradise Valley - very tony.
