Alice Cooper - The Beast Of Alice Cooper

Artist

Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper (Vincent Damon Furnier on February 4, 1948 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American singer, bandleader and musician. His stage name will also be that of the hard rock group that he will form with musician friends. By his attitude and his appearance, he is recognized as being the main father of shock rock. His career is a series of roller coasters in terms of musical style.
Initially with the Alice Cooper Group (1969-1974) and later in a solo career, the prolific singer went through different phases and different styles in his career (freak, shock rock, experimentation, new wave, electro-rock, heavy metal, pop-rock, grunge, industrial metal, etc.)

In the space of 18 months, the group released three albums that, one after the other, broke the top 10 of album sales in the United States, thus establishing Alice Cooper and his horror rock as one of the major figures of American popular music of the time. These albums, School's Out (1972), Billion Dollar Babies (1972) and Trash (in 1973) are considered by specialists to be both the commercial and artistic successes of the group and its singer: the band announced, shortly after the release of Muscle of Love, its official dissolution, thus marking the beginning of Furnier/Alice Cooper's solo career. Having started off with a bang, with the popular acclaim of Welcome to My Nightmare, his first album released in 1975, this solo adventure gradually disintegrated, Cooper proving incapable of bringing any innovation to his musical formula. The singer, who is still active, has a habit of releasing new albums at regular intervals, thus happily capitalizing on his veteran status.
