ALICE COOPER Part 7 – Between High School And Old School
Throughout his career, Alice Cooper has made a habit of confounding the expectations of fans & critics by rarely repeating himself, especially on successive records. One exception, however, took place when he followed up the brilliant Brutal Planet (which I … Continue reading

With the advent of grunge signaling the end of hair metal, Alice Cooper’s change in direction after 1991’s Hey Stoopid came at a perfect time. On The Last Temptation (1994) he didn’t necessarily trade in his makeup and spooky image … Continue reading

ALICE COOPER Part 2 – Hard Hearted Alice
The early 1970’s were a great time to be the Alice Cooper band. Hit records, sold out tours, and success beyond their wildest dreams. Over the course of their first four albums, which I discussed in my previous post, they … Continue reading
