When it comes to rock drummers of the classic rock era, or any other era for that matter, Neal Smith is a true legend. His work on the first seven albums (eight if you count the 'Greatest Hits' album) released by the original Alice Cooper Group, which besides Smith was comprised of Alice Cooper on vocals, Michael Bruce and the late Glen Buxton on guitars and Dennis Dunaway on bass, ranks up there with the finest rock drumming ever recorded. It's Smith's drumming which pro... MORE

(Review by David Jeffries) Throughout his long career, Alice Cooper has taken full advantage of how concept albums allow for more ambitious songwriting and memorable, layered characters that get more than one song to tell their story. It's always a tortured story with social outcasts rebelling against turbulent childhoods or other traumatic whatnot, but this time the stakes are much higher. Along Came a Spider tells the story of an eccentric serial killer who suffe... MORE

Why the fuck would Alice Cooper make a ten minute plus music video for three separate songs? Why would anyone believe that a sixty year old man in make-up could overpower and murder a healthy woman a third his age? Why did someone feel the need to make sure Slash’s guitar was plugged in for [...]

How and why The Alice Cooper band chose "Sun Arise" by Rolf Harris to cap off the unnerving insanity of their Love It To Death lp is quite enigmatic. I just realized after typing it, that I don't really know what that word means - but it sounds right. "Sun Arise", by the author of the cuddly "Tie Me Kangaroo Down", is an inspirational anthem to our source of heat and light and the power the old sun has to create each new day. original lyrics: Sun arise, she bring in the ...

In honor of his big win yesterday in my weekly poll, I'd like to make some interesting Alice Cooper tracks available...A friend of mine started to work with Alice on the Love it to Death record and was involved for several years thereafter. I am not privy to a ton of stories but given what I know about Alice in the 70s that must have been a wild run. These are Alice's first two albums, which were released on Frank Zappa's Straight Records. They are much different t... MORE

With Halloween right around the corner, it's time to try and focus in on dementia, insanity, and all those creepy things that wake you up in the middle of the night, just knowing there is something in that corner paralyzing you with fear. What does it take to push one over the edge? How would you know until you get there, and would you realize it - even then? The neccessity of straight-jacket security is about as bleak as it gets. But when the actions are not acceptabl... MORE

Man, I morphed into a 19-year-old on May 13. I stumbled into it with a crazy weekend, that's for sure. But I'm not really 19... I'll be 18 forever. Young at heart, always. What's the fun in being an old, boring hag? Anyway, one reason I hate being 19 is that there are no songs about being 19. (Well, none off the top of my head.) 17 was cool with "Seventeen" by Winger and some country song that goes "You're always 17 in your hometown," and whatever else. I loved 18 wi... MORE

That question or something like it may well have been on the minds of many a confused adult back in the early years of the Nixon era, when a strange band with a taste for Grand Guignol excess finally hit the Top 40. As has since become common among bands which traffick heavily in false eyelashes, mascara, violence and sadism, the band Alice Cooper (which would only later become associated with a single person) was the stuff of myths and legends, and songs like this one mad...
