I never got into Alice too much. I didn't even go see him around 90/91 when he toured the Trash album in my city with Eric Singer on drums!!

After Eric joined Kiss I was thinking, hmmm, he's played a gig here, cool.

I cant stand anything that alice cooper has EVER done music wise.I do not think he is talented at all and his stage show was always kind of lame to me.I hate how he used to groan that kiss stole his act when In my opinion he might as well of stolen from bowie himself.Kiss was always way more innovative and talented than alice ever was...

I think this is pretty solid musically! Great rhythm guitar tone and very unpredictable guitar solo. Lot's of changes to this song.

haha, I think Alice was hit and miss, but I liked his records from '87 thru 1991 (is that the hey stoopid record)? .. better than what Kiss did.

Alice is playing 10 minutes down the road from my house tonight.
He always puts on an incredible show.

The older he gets, the better the character of Alice is. Age makes him creepier.

I believe Alice scared me the most during the "Flush The Fashion" era. VERY SICKLY !!!

he is so funny and smart. Love Alice. I saw him in '86,'87,'89, '90 and '91 all shows were great. the 86 and 87 shows had Kip Winger playing Bass.

Never really listened his music BUT I've only really heard his more well known stuff from his career. I hated the song Poison when it came out but will now always watch the video of that song because I'm in love with the brunette in the clip (insert smutty clip/quote from Poser or Meta.....now)! I only bought the Hey Stoopid album because Vai & Satch played together on the title track but the solos turned out to be pretty lame by them! Didn't think much of the rest of the album was anything special, generic 80's c*ckrock! He's had some good guitar players in his band, I'll give him that! But I like the guy as a person. Hey, he's a golf nut! Can't hate a golf nut!

Never got into his stuff but watched the Megadeth Documentary on youtube last night, and Alice made an appearance.
Such a nice fellow :)

Brutal Planet is killer too. Alice rulez :!: :!: :!: . I rather meet Alice than Paul & Gene any day.
I got Jesus in my fax machine. I saw Ho Chi Minh down @ Burger King. I dated Vinnie Vincent as a Drag Queen. I still don't understand a f**kin' thing.

I love Alice, especially the first few albums with the original AC band, but there's plenty of other good shit spread throughout his career. I've seen him live about 6 times over the years, truly awesome stuff.

I love A.C.. I've probably seen him over a dozen times. I asked him one time why he doesn't play anything live from the Kane Roberts era. He told me that he wanted to, but couldn't get anyone to replicate his tone or style live. I would love to hear some stuff off of Raise Your Fist and Yell for once to mix up the set.

Kane Roberts was not well respected but he sure was original and his solos were totally his style and surprising. I would think he could just ask Kane back to get that sound. The Raise Your fist tour with Kane Roberts, Kip Winger and Ken Mary was great (I think Kip pulled out for the European section of the tour if I remember correctly). I got to meet Kip when his band was called Sahara (the original name for Winger). He was living in Hoboken NJ.
