I’ve always liked him, but last year my husband, child of the late 80’s, wanted to take us to see Motley Crue. The whole family went. My two teenage daughters loved the opening act even more— Alice Cooper. My then 13 year old didn’t want a T-shirt but a teddy bear they were selling with an Alice Cooper T-shirt on and his eyeliner. She sleeps with it every night! My brother met him when he stopped in our little hometown on his boat in the 70’s or 80’s. My brother said, “you’re Alice Cooper!” My brother was maybe 15? He was so excited when he came home to tell us he was invited to and ate lunch with Alice Cooper out on the docks!

That title scared me
Scared me too. So glad he saw the light. God bless him....;)
Not a bad golfer either.
used to listen to his classic rock radio program, where he did a great job. To the surprise of many, he’s a helluva golfer and loves to play.
True story..... I was travelling with a friend from my company when we decided to have dinner at Alice Cooper’s restaurant in Phoenix (about 2,000 miles from home). We were just about done when we look up and see Cooper walking through shaking hands. My friend grabbed his cell phone and called his wife and said “I think Alice Cooper is playing in a couple weeks at home... get a couple tickets right now.” By the time Alice had made his way to our table, my friend was able to hold up his phone and show Alice “My wife and I have tickets to see you in a couple weeks. We’re in the 16th row.” Cooper was blown away and we ended up chatting with him for about 15 minutes... just a downright nice guy.
Saw him the first time at the Cowtown Ballroom in Kansas City. Killer had just come out. Pacific,Gas and Electric opened the show and tickets were $2.
After I moved to Phoenix, used to see him at church often.
Trivia: Alice was for awhile romantically linked to Raquel Welch. Erm, don’t even wanna visualize...
I saw him live 2 times in Baton Rouge in the early 70s. He did the thing with the guillotine. Heh heh. We kids always knew he was a “straight” who drank Budweiser and played golf.
Decades later, after Katrina, while driving late at night, I used to listen to his radio show, Nights With Alice Cooper. Funny guy, an encyclopedia of music and pop culture and a hundred other less trivial subjects—history, politics, philosophy.
Killer album tour, lead on bands were Eagles and Chech and Chong. The Denver Barn-o-see-um.

Never cared much for his music except a couple of the early songs. He used top notch musicians though, Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter rank right at the top of guitar players.

Very inspirational.
Not to be confused with the real Spiders, whom I prefer to the Beatles. Here are some of their hits:
