Күн бұрынAlice Cooper’s Billion Dollar Babies Live will be available on vinyl for the first time for Record Store Day Black Friday on November 29!
Recorded live at Sam Houston Coliseum, Houston, Texas on April 28, 1973, this exclusive release will be limited to 6,000 units worldwide. Get your copy at your nearest local independent retailer on November 29: recordstoreday...
In celebration of this special release, we have uncovered an interview of Alice Cooper in the midst of the massively successful 1973-1974 Billion Dollar Babies tour. In the video, he is interviewed at the Hotel Hesperia in Helsinki, Finland, discussing his stage persona, rock music, violence, his audiences, and musical influences.
At the time, Alice was in Europe to promote the original band's upcoming film, “Good To See You Again, Alice Cooper”, which predominately featured live concert footage filmed at the 1973 Sam Houston Coliseum show. Alice then headed to Brazil where the band became the first western band to perform there.
This rare interview filmed by YLE, The Finnish Broadcasting Company for the Finnish TV Show "Iltatähti", was originally broadcast on April 13, 1974.

@Shikta-poobah67 Жыл бұрын
He was what some people refer to as a ‘functioning alcoholic’, meaning that he could give off the appearance of really having his shit together 100%, but he had to be consuming alcohol 24-7 in order to give off that appearance. Some also call that ‘maintenance drinking’. My uncle was wired exactly the same way, except unlike Alice he never got sober, and it took him to his grave early. Most people only think of slurring, sloppy, stumbling, vomiting wrecks whenever the word “alcoholic” is used. They think of dirty, helpless people who pee their pants uncontrollably and can’t function in society, but the reality is that probably MOST alcoholics are like Alice was at this time. Drinking just to maintain their normality.

Pretties For You was an absolutely killer album. I'm always blown away by the maturity of the writing and performance for such an early release. The theatrical influence has always been present, and it was on PFY. Loved this guy since '74 when I discovered him at 9. The revulsion and anger he aroused in adults was really apparent and that sealed the deal for me. I knew I was onto something, and I was. Also, having struggled through life with my own addiction issues, my respect for Alice only increased when he got clean.

I’m quite a bit older than you (born ‘67), but feel basically the same way. My first time seeing Alice was on the “From The Inside” tour in ‘79, and though it was a good show, I couldn’t help but sit there thinking “I wish I could have seen the original band”. I first got into Alice right around the same time this interview was conducted. Fall of ‘74, when the TV special “The Nightmare” was televised that Halloween. I was 8 years old and thoroughly captivated by Alice. Unfortunately, not only was that right after the original band had split up, but I was just a few years shy of being allowed to go to big rock concerts (though I lied to my parents when I was 9 and snuck away with my aunt to see KISS - my first concert).

Due to my age, I didn’t actually get to see Alice until ‘79, on the “From The Inside” tour… which was a decent show, but I always wished I could have seen the original band. I’ve always been way more into them than any of his solo albums.

Long grey hair, sloppy jeans and loose, washed out T-shirt. She was so happy! She got to see Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath at her FIRST ever festival. So cool! She said she was afraid at one point. She was up next to the barrier when Poison started. There was a big push. I didn’t get time to talk about why, what, where, how etc. I was headed to the next stage. She was headed to the camp ground to hit the sack. One of the coolest moments in my rock life.

I’m too young to remember Alice when they first hit big in 1970 with “I’m Eighteen”, but I’ve had this conversation many times before with my aunt, who’s a fellow Alice Cooper freak and been a fan since the beginning. She told me that that was indeed the general consensus from most people at the beginning of the 70’s - that Alice Cooper was nothing but a fad, a gimmick, a flavor of the week… and that in a few years they’d be long forgotten and relegated to “one hit wonder” status. Yeah. Things didn’t quite pan out that way. Here we are today, in 2023, and Alice is still pretty much a household name. He may not have had any charting hits recently, but say his name to anybody and they’ll know exactly who you’re talking about. I still occasionally see teenage kids wearing his shirts. I’m pretty sure he’ll always be remembered, even long after he’s gone from this plane.

I think I was in 7th grade when I first heard of him. Everyone had his album by then, I never owned one, but my little brother did, so I was exposed that way. But by then, Alice was all over the TV. He was doing characters and cameos on TV dramas and comedies, and, as he mentions in the interview, also game shows. Lots of interview shows. He was literally everywhere! So much so, that he'll probably never be forgotten. He also went to the same high school as me, but about a decade before I was there.

I discovered him right around this time. 1974, on TV with “The Nightmare” Halloween special, with Vincent Price. It was the very first thing he did after the breakup of the original Alice Cooper band. I was 8 years old, and just instantly obsessed. My mom went and bought me the Billion Dollar Babies album, complete with a giant “billion dollar bill” in it. I listened to that record nonstop, over and over for a couple of months, and then I started getting all the other albums that had been released up to that point. By the time the “Welcome To My Nightmare” album came out I think I already had every album from the original band except Pretties For You.

Well, I just turned 75 and I have always been a Alice Cooper fan from day one and I like his music because it is good rock and roll and tells a story in every song. Great Theater with great music! You are never too old for this stuff!

That's funny, Alice mentioned the Osmonds and his band being at opposite ends, but some people would like both. I got to see Alice Cooper in May of 1973, and the Osmonds 2 nights later.

What I find interesting about Vincent is admitted that Alice Cooper is a character role. I wouldn't have ever thought that. He was really thinking out of the box so to say.

No way. Alice still puts on a good show, especially for a guy in his mid-late 70’s, but it doesn’t even come remotely close to the original band in the early 70’s.

This was actually a very pivotal point in his career. A lot changed for him in ‘74. The original band split up, and he started working with Dick Wagner on what would eventually become the “Welcome To My Nightmare” album, which began with the Halloween TV special “The Nightmare”, which was how I first ‘discovered’ Alice when I was a kid.

he soaked up a lot from his friendship w/ jim morrison. he incorporated those ideas that morrison revolutionized. cooper camped it & scale it up to large stage production.... he was and is a very shrewd creator of theater/music conception. he also had a very observant eye on the change & shift in culture from the late 60's to the early 70's. he sensed before many that the hippie idealism scene was fraught w/ hypocricy & inflated self importance. even though he didnt morph into pure punk like iggy pop did, he was certainly a groundbreaker in the sound turf, attitude & sensibilities of punk long before many... imo, punk started w/ jim morrison in re to attitude, honesty, spectacle. early cooper scaled it up more w/o losing punk's edge. then iggy pop inserted the sound, energy & naked nihilism.... cooper, esp early, gets short changed as a transformational artist. guys like h rollins owe him a debt.
