Man, I loved the original Alice Cooper band. Dennis Dunaway was one of my big influences as a bass player. I was lucky enough to see them live once.

When and where did you see them...? That's one of my life regrets...I only knew about them playing the Hollywood bowl in '72 and the Los Angeles Forum in '73 and I was too young to go see them...I was devastated when they broke up...took me awhile to get over it...😐

The original Alice Cooper band was just as essential and influential as Led Zeppelin, Pink FLoyd, Black Sabbath, Lynyrd Skynyrd or ANY band that you can name from the 70s. Met Dennis Dunaway once, great dude. Yeah, I always read that the main reason for the split-up was the theatrics which the band claimed restricted them from playing their instruments. So Vince decided to split from them but kept the name. They gave us some GREAT music. Seeing that band in concert made a BIG impact on a very young Randy Rhoads whose older brother Kelly took him to see them.

Most underrated musicians of the era. Killer, Love it to Death, Schools Out, are three of the best albums ever made. The lyrics and way the songs lead into each other has become a lost art . Pretties for You cover art was a giant painting Zappa had on his wall. No idea how it was chosen, but found a picture of it on a random Zappa picture search

Enjoyed the video and love anything Alice Cooper. I caught two minor points that may need correcting. The band was not approached by Shep Gordon. Neal Smith's sister, Cindy, first approached Gordon and Joe Greenberg on the band's behalf thinking they were managers. I believe Shep Gordon did not make the initial contact with Frank Zappa on the band's behalf. The story I heard goes where the band was hanging with the GTOs and it was Miss Christine that got Alice Cooper and Zappa connected by way of the infamous crack-of-dawn audition. Shep Gordon only became interested in managing Alice Cooper AFTER he learned the band was signed or about to be signed to Zappa's record label.

It was this band that opened my eyes to rock and roll. I joined his fan club in 1978 when I was 14. To this day I still listen to them every day (almost). Glen Buxton and Michael Bruce have been a major influence in my guitar playing. Definitely my favorite line up since day 1.

I first saw the original AC group in 1971 at the Long Beach Arena, then again in 1972 at the Hollywood Bowl and in 1973 at the L.A. Forum. No matter what Alice does today, he will never, ever equal the songs or in particular, the sound of Glen, Mike,Neil and Dennis, period. They were truly a band you had to experience. RIP Glen Buxton

The AC band was my favorite in high school. The first album I ever bought was Billion Dollar Babies, and I wore that sucker out. I never saw the original band live, but, I saw them on Halloween, here in Phoenix when they played at the AZ State Fair, probably in 2015 or so. I had chills and tears in my eyes when they played Halo of Flies. They even brought out the gallows for the first time in many years. My Mom always thought I flipped when she heard me listening to Killer and BDB! What great albums.

@johnhitzroth9082 9 ай бұрын

What Bob Ezrin did to organize this band yielded some of the greatest two-guitar music in the hard rock genre. Love It To Death and Killer have incredible examples all over them. One need only listen to Halo of Flies on Killer to hear rock guitar arrangements that are absolute genius. And the guitar sounds were powerful and heavy, yet not mushed-out with excessive distortion. So many owe so much to Bob Ezrin, but there was magic in the fingers of Mike Bruce, Glen Buxton, Steve Hunter, Dick Wagner (those guitars on Cold Ethyl! man!) and others like David Gilmour (the guitar solos on Comfortably Numb) and even Paul Stanley and Ace Frehley (The 2-guitar solo in Detroit Rock City) and Ezrin knew how to draw the magic out. And yes, Alice Cooper was a group first and I have never forgotten that. Cheers!

This band had such an impact on me. I ended up playing in bands for years. Their music was so very clever and great fun to listen to. Alice being a Christian also later gave support to my being committed to Christ as well. I wish they had remained together longer as they would have likely done some amazing works that we would be speaking of now. Ezrin really does know how to bring the best out of a band and should get some credit. He is a talent. Look at what he did for Kiss which was a significantly lesser talent than the Alice Cooper Band. i have Easy Action on Straight Records. It is a treasure in my record collection. Ballad of Dwight Fry might be my favorite Cooper song, a masterpiece.

I caught their show the night before I was inducted into the army. It was 1972 at Manzanita speedway in Phoenix and it was fantastic. I even reordered Love it to Death a week ago. After School's out, I kinda lost interest in the band, not sure why. Speaking of School's out... The cut "Blue Turk" is the best song you never heard. A mix of jazz, blues and rock, it has to be one of the best songs they ever did. While best known for their stage shows, Alice Cooper is one of the most musically tight bands I've ever heard.

@JCK-gi2gm 9 ай бұрын

Whoa, that must have been some morning after the night before! Must have been close to the end of the draft or had you signed up? What a transition. Hope it went well. Ha! I was there at Manzanita too!. Your post sure triggered a lot of old memories from those times and that concert, a fairly early one for me. A few years younger than you, I think I was 16 and that concert stood out for years in my mind but I haven't thought of it in decades. I was living in the East Valley, in Mesa at the time, and that must have been a long hot drive in my no AC 65 Impala. I just checked the location and I'd forgotten how far on the west side it was and before the freeways. Found the concert lineup too. I sorta remember Canned Heat opening but forgot about Capt Beefhart. But Cooper and crew were on a different level. What a show. Ha! First thing I re-remembered was the hanging scene at the end of "Killer". I don't know about you but that just blew my already blown mind away. I was just expecting them to cut the lights or something. Quite the rush. The other bit that resurfaced was at some point I told my Drama teacher about it and she was able to borrow one of those "vests" for me to use in the hanging scene at the end of a one-act Salem witchcraft type play I wrote. Actually wearing it and using it was something else. That drop took some practice to just relax. Weird feeling at the end of the drop, every time. Lol, in any case there were a couple good screams from the small mainly parent audience. They were not expecting that. Lol, I doubt if that could happen nowadays. School Admins and District Legals would freak I imagine. Good times

Vince changed his name to Alice Cooper at least a year before the band broke up. After that, it was just a matter of time. Why split the money six ways, including the manager, when you can split it two ways; Alice and Shep Gordon? Most fans think it was the dirtiest move ever made in rock history besides Elvis getting rid of his original band because his manager said so.

Good retrospective on a great band but sidesteps the alcohol issue that played a large part of the story. They were an extremely hard partying band! Alice himself was reported to be consuming a fifth of Seagrams VO and a case of Budweiser EACH DAY by the end of the original band's run! I had seen the original group on the Killer, School's Out and BDB tours and was a huge fan! Went to see the WTMN show and Alice openly talked during the show about how he had just become sober. The theme of mental illness mentioned here was his alcoholism (which is what also led to Glen Buxton's early demise). Also, no mention of them being called The Earwigs at one point (or did I miss that?)

These words you speak are true. We're all humanary stew, if we don't pledge allegiance to the black widow

I saw Alice Cooper (solo, not the band) live in 1977 with the amazing Hunter/Wagner band from Lou Reed fame. All of the great amateurish playing was gone, replaced with typical 70's slickness and skill.A drunken Vince and stoned Wagner stunk the place up.
