Saw him recently on one of those music infomercials confirming that he was invited to perform at some outdoor concert at a New York pig farm back in '69, and decided he had better things to do :0)
BTW (and I'm guessing you're of similar age), I caught Alice Cooper at his peak back in '72, and maintain to this day it was the best live rock (emphasis on ROCK) performance I ever saw/heard...and I've seen most of the "biggies."
I hope his band is part of this induction.
Yep. Saw the same infomercial. Pretty fascinating, eh? I think he said he was in Hawaii at the time - I'd call that "better things to do." Wow - timing is everything, ain't it? He'd probably be in the HoF based on Woodstock on his resume. Btw, he's got a book out chronicling his old days - I've been meaning to buy it.

54 yo....Catching AC at his peak in '72 was a HUGE deal. That concert must have been amazing. Cooper's band were tremendous musicians. I believe the guitarists even toured with Lou Reed and composed that famous live intro of 'Sweet Jane'. Too bad Alice jettisoned the band once he felt they were irrelevant. saw him once - in 2005 in Atlantic City and took my son. Musically his band was tight and his pipes still there. The guillotine is now and forever part of his act.
I hope his band is part of this induction.
They ought to be (at least one member is deceased.)
