Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper was oorspronkelijk een band onder leiding van zanger Vincent Damon Furnier. De band pionierde een theatrale en gewelddadige soort heavy metal, bedoeld om te shockeren. Hoewel de visuele effecten zeer belangrijk waren voor hun impact, was de muziek bijna net zo herkenbaar, gedreven door rauwe, eenvoudige riffs en melodieën afgeleid van niet alleen guitar pop uit de jaren 60 maar tevens show tunes. Het was de meest fundamentele en aangrijpende rock & roll, zelfs wanneer de band zich in psychedelica en art rock waagden. Nadat de oorspronkelijke groep uiteen viel en Furnier een solocarrière als Alice Cooper begon, verloor zijn muziek veel van het theatrale vermogen en werd het gewoon heavy metal.

The man (and the band) who first brought shock rock to the masses, Alice Cooper became one of the most successful and influential acts of the '70s with their gritty but anthemic hard rock and a live show that delivered a rock & roll chamber of horrors, thrilling fans and cultivating outrage from authority figures (which made fans love them all the more). The name Alice Cooper originally referred to both the band and its lead singer (born Vincent Furnier), as they played dark, eccentric, psychedelic rock on their first two albums, Pretties for You (1969) and Easy Action (1970).

Recorded at the conclusion of his 2009 world tour, Alice Cooper’s live album Theatre of Death finds the shock rock veteran bringing his legendary live show to London's Hammersmith Apollo. The concert features a selection of Alice’s most well known songs with a heavy emphasis on his 1975 effort Welcome to My Nightmare.
