 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 Cooper, Alice
Maurice Escargot. Alice really is nothing but a fan of classic Hollywood. Check out the video he did for 'You and Me', before MTV. As always, the innovater often imitated.
School's Out. It acted as the sleeve jacket for the record. Alice also liked to drop thousands of them on the crowd during that year's tour.
Donovan. Being known as such a 'Mello Yello' hippie, I think that's pretty cool.
I'm 18. 18 only reached 21, legal to drink though. School's Out and Poison both peaked at number 7...17 years apart! You and Me reached number 9, I heard it the other day in Wal-Mart! Whoever said Alice was a monster?
None of the above. A myth that definitely did make his name known(as if a man named Alice needs help getting attention). I can understand the hippies thinking they saw it. They were juiced. Peace, love and feathers were everywhere. What Alice did was throw a live chicken into the audience, who naturally tore it to shreds. What else is a hippie to do? It was filmed. The evidence is clear. Alice knew good publicity when he heard it. He never denied the charges.
Department of Youth. Alice Cooper crooning a ballad to Miss Piggy? Where's Salvador Dali? Department of Youth would've fit the show fine with the 'Donny Osmond!' answer at the end. It was the 70's you know.
Vincent Price. Just another example of the lack of originality of pop stars like Michael Jackson who copy Alice. Thriller schmiller.
Billion Dollar Babies. School's Out peaked at number 2. Welcome to my Nightmare at number 5. Trash at number 20. 20

My Stars. Always a huge movie buff, there are dozens of references and direct quotes from movies and tv in his songs. This one is the toughest to catch.
| Which song from School's Out is credited to Buxton and Dunaway(guitarist and bassist) and Leonard Bernstein and Steven Soundheim? | Alice Cooper Group
|
Gutter Cat vs. the Jets. The song works its way into West Side Story, during which song everyone on stage would fight. 'When your a Jet your a Jet all the way...'
| Which song features the line 'she asked me why the singer's name was Alice?'? | Alice Cooper Group
|
Be My Lover. 'I told her that I came from Detroit City, and I played guitar in a long haired rock and roll band'---written by guitarist, Michael Bruce. His response? 'I said 'listen babe, you really wouldn't understand'.'

Frank Zappa. Zappa went to see the band after hearing about them in the L.A. club scene. Before the show even ended there were four people left, one was Zappa. Everyone else left because they were so terrible. Zappa offered them a contract that night.
| Which song features the lyrics, 'I'll end up a broken old hobo with red and yellow eyes, swearin' and drunk and dyin'---- and no one's surprised'? | Alice Cooper Goes Solo
|
Lace and Whiskey. I like the next line better, 'but that's a long long way from today babe, as far as I can see. So kick off your shoes. Go and get me my booze, lay your love and your laces on me.'----- Yeah, he sounds about right for commital.
Alice's stay in detox. His self commital in Oct 1978 actually is a case of life imitating art. Alice needed drastic measures in order to sober up. It wasn't until after he commited himself that he realized he was the only one there for alcohol. Everyone else was certified section-8. Reminds me of Randall P. McMurphy realizing that HE'S the only one commited, everyone else is there willingly.
| Who was 'chopped up and sealed tight in baggies' in the 'love' ballad Millie and Billie? | Alice Cooper Goes Solo
|
Donald. I guess love makes you do funny things...what would you expect in an Alice love triangle?
Lizzie Borden took an axe.... Its not like they did something wrong...
Al Kooper. I know, seems like a trick question. Probably was the reason Alice asked him to play, so he could say, 'yeah, I played with AL Kooper.'
From the Inside. Comic book Alice's nose somehow shrunk and he's built like Spiderman as he escapes from the inside of the nuthouse after being mistaken for...ALEX COOPER, a real loonie with a radial tire fetish! Now you know where I got my screen name.
hell. It's pretty warm down here, but it ain't sunny...having a hell of a time my dear, wish you were here!
his mom. 'isn't that our mom calling?'---
| Welcome to my Nightmare featured Alice's second song about necrophilia. The first was I Love the Dead on Billion Dollar Babies. On this album it was which song? | Alice Cooper Goes Solo
|
Cold Ethyl. In his own words:'A lighthearted take on necrophilia taken much too seriously by the likes of Ann Landers.'---A.C.
Steven. Steven is in the nightmare on Welcome to my Nightmare. On Alice Cooper Goes to Hell he is being read a 'bedtime story' in the prologue of the album
Twisted Sister. This song and video showed Alice to a new generation. A generation to whom he had become a legend and didn't even realize it. He put the makeup back on, went back into the studio, and came back the next year nastier than ever. Remember the Coop, huh.
Alice talking with a psychiatrist. Very creepy song from Alice's most bizzare album. Some of his best lyrics ever.
Monster Dog. Alice plays Vince Raven, a man haunted by his family's dark past and rumors of werewolves. Two cool songs recorded for the movie are also on the box set. Leonard Maltin gave this flick four stars! I say this movie proves that the Oscars are rigged!
