Transmission Impossible
With a career that spans five decades and a stage show that has featured guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, boa constrictors, baby dolls, duelling swords and, on one notable occasion, a live chicken that ended up in the audience only to be torn apart by the frenzied mob, Alice Cooper is considered by fans and peers alike the "The Godfather of Shock Rock". He has drawn equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock to pioneer a theatrical and macabre brand of the genre, originally designed to shock the masses and excite the hipsters, but which in later years has turned The Freak into a beloved entertainer with his camp retro style performances that continue to draw the numbers but fail to stir the establishment. Originating in Phoenix in the late 1960s following a move from Detroit, Alice Cooper was originally a band consisting of Vincent Furnier on vocals and harmonica, lead guitarist Glen Buxton, Michael Bruce on rhythm guitar, Dennis Dunaway on bass guitar, and drummer Neal Smith. The original Alice Cooper band broke into the international music mainstream with the 1971 hit "I'm Eighteen" from the album Love It to Death, which was followed by the even bigger single "School's Out" in 1972. The band reached their commercial peak with the 1973 album Billion Dollar Babies. Furnier adopted the band's moniker as his own name in the 1970s and began a solo career with the 1975 concept album Welcome to My Nightmare. In 2011 he released Welcome 2 My Nightmare, his 19th album as a solo artist, and his 26th album in total. Expanding from his Detroit rock roots, in his career Cooper has experimented with a number of musical styles, including art rock, hard rock, heavy metal, new wave, pop rock, experimental rock and industrial rock. Alice Cooper is known for his social and witty persona offstage, with The Rolling Stone Album Guide calling him the world's "best loved heavy metal entertainer"
