Anybody seen Alice Cooper lately?

I haven't actually seen Alice Cooper since 1970. It was at a roadhouse in Riverside, CA. We were the opening band. The only people who showed up were the two bands, the bartenders and our roadies and girlfriends.

BTW, 1970. No one had ever seen anything like Alice Cooper. We were a standard R&R cover band. They were bleeding edge radicals.

I remember hearing "Love it to Death" for the first time at a friend's house in 1970. The other "new" album he was raving about was "James Gang Rides Again."

James Gang, I "got."
Alice Cooper, I didn't "get."

Sounds like the AC band when they were on Zappas label two LPs that sunk into obscurity. Yeah they were so bizarre the people stayed away in droves, then.

A few years later people couldn’t get enough, the band and the stage show was still out-there but producer Bob Ezra ironed out the kinks in their sound, hit singles and radio play ensued and you know the rest.
