Alice Cooper - Rock Classics #29

This Guy is Older Than Me!

This is not the only reason I chose to write about Alice Cooper today. One other reason is to see more by @rivalzzz as he can show visuals or experience around the guy. The official reason to go with Alice Cooper today is my edition no. 29 of my #RockClassics series on Steemit which I need to maintain a bit (#28 already long ago) - could be also a submission of my 6th day of the 7-Day Wayback Music Challenge as it related to my youth and student times - however I can not mix and integrate everything together - so here comes my Rock Classics Edition No. 29.

Who The F... is Alice?

Alice is not a girl, but a boy, an old lovely Rocker usually famous for being dressed like a freak the usual parents are scared of lol. He was born as Vincent Damon Furnier back in 1948 and became famous to me and the outside world with his song Schools Out - the hymn of every frequent visitor of schools - I included teachers and pupils here.

Alice is successful now since of fifty years - and he did a lot during his career. Being the hard guy working with blood and master effects on stage he is one of the nicest guys you can imagine in his private life.

The music media called him "The Godfather of Shock Rock" which he used for the success of his work having played also in Hollywood movies as guest horror shocker superstar. He originally comes fro Arizona and Alice Cooper as a brand / name was a band he was lead singer for - that band released its first album in 1969. In the 70ies Alice (Vincent - the guy with the shocking performances lol) adopted the band's name as his own name and became a superstar - mainly known in the art rock / metal space but he experimented with a lot of different sub genres such as art rock, new wave, glam metal and industrial rock.

Listen to some of his Classics!
