Flush The Fashion is an absolute masterpiece of work.
A masterpiece! The perfect summation of Carter/Reagan-era America. I bought it new and still have my original vinyl copy. Someday this album will be recognized as the brilliant piece of art that it is. Someday, when someone asks what America was like in the 1980s, someone will play this lp and it will explain it!
Very under rated. I know that sounds cliche, but it's a scientific fact in this case
Agree.

Also like Zipper Catches Skin quite a bit. I've seen Alice several time and he rarely plays any of these songs. Bad Alice.
It's a real miracle that he lived through this period of his life. Vince looks deathly ill here. Glad that he is a true survivor.
It's scary how skinny he was here.
Alice discovered coke.
Coke is a harsh mistress
Him and Bernie Taupin hitting that rock.
On the contrary, he's died several times, and was even decapitated.

"Pain"
I'm hidden in the scream
When the virgin dies
I'm the ache in the belly
When your baby cries
And I'm the burnin' sensation
When the convict fries
I'm pain
I'm your pain
Unspeakable pain
I'm your private pain
And I'm the compound fracture
In the twisted car
And I'm the lines on the face
Of the tramp at the bar
And I'm the reds by the bed
Of the suicide star
You know me- I'm pain
I'm your pain
Your own private pain
Unfathomable pain
And it's a compliment to me
To hear you screamin' through the night
All night
Tonight
I'm the holes in your arm
When you're feeling the shakes
I'm the lump on your head
When you step on the rake
And I'm the loudest one laughing
At the saddest wake
Yes I'm pain
I'm just pain
Dear old pain
You need your pain
And I'm the loudest one laughing
At the saddest wake
I'm the salt in the sweat
On the cuts of the slaves
I was the wound in the side
While Jesus prayed
I was the filthiest word
At the vandalized grave
Yes, pain
Do you love me pain
I love my pain
I'm your pain
It's a compliment to me
To hear you screamin' through the night
All night
Tonight
.

"I'm the salt in the sweat- On the cuts of the slaves
I was the wound in the side- While Jesus prayed
I was the filthiest word- At the vandalized grave..."
Incredible, once-in-a-lifetime, creation-- words, feelings, and music all. Don't see that anymore.
Why he doesn't get credit for being an incredible songwriter,I don't know .I guess it's the the stage show .Yet David Bowie is suckled all the time.
Sadly, we will never see it again.
Majority of Alice fans are a bit dense. They just wanna see schlocky-guy with the black eyes, and that`s what they get. Artistically, everything after DaDa just feels- a bit boring.
@@functhefucc5798 I like all of Alice's periods for different reasons, his 80s, 90s, and 2000s stuff is some of my very favorite rock and metal music. It's different from a lot of his older stuff, but it's very good.
@@functhefucc5798 WHAT? Alice improves each and every time.
The music of Dragon Town, Brutal planet ect ect ect
Alice is in my opinion the best thing to ever walk on this earth. God father of shock rock
Godfather not God Father.
I agree with you completely. My all time favorite performer.
@@gogoyubari366Wrong , he’s the “G odd father of shockrock
"...And i'm the loudest one laughing at the saddest wake"
That line was me in childhood and teen years. I love the lyrics in this song.
Truth! 👍
I always thought he said "rape"....are you sure he says "wake"?
@@MissSicBitch Pretty sure it's wake
@@buttkid3548 Lol...just saying...
This guy is an amazing songwriter. Like, he really is good. Not just the world's most influential gore glam rocker and creator of punk rock itself. He really is a fucking amazing songwriter.
creator of punk rock?
Heresy jonny rotten from the sex pistols hailed alice as his hero and said that his music and lyrics inspired the sex pistols his attitude and fashion or lack of.. in the early 70's inspired him.
Toecutter 666 yeah, so he was the inspiration to some punk artists doesn't mean he is the creator of it though...
Heresy i never said he was.. i just know he inspired johnny rotten before he was in the sex pistols
bartlettandbosc hi alice
This is a true masterpiece. It's so beautiful in its own way, it made me teary...
Masterpiece of Lyrical and Musical Genius.

🎩MIRACOULUSLY INSPIRATIONAL LEGENDARY GOOD JOB 👍🌎🤸 IM SO GLAD YOU/SHERYL ARE PURE RISERS/WARRIORS THAT BEAT THE ODDS. ALICE COOPER IS STILL ON TOP TODAY 🎩 THE LEGEND, A CHRISTIAN HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRE BURNING STRONGER AND STRONGER. 🎩 WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT BROTHER.
VAMPIRE. YOUR FRIEND ROXX VICIOUS👌🔐☔
@@roxxvicious ... AMEN BROTHER !
I still can't believe that I saw pain live 2 times
I was so excited when it started I was loosing my mind. 😍😍😍
I love this song soo much
YEP! ME THREE! :D
Incredible Song and underrated album
This is such a masterpiece of a song!!! Didn't know these was a clip to ir too...Thanks a lot for sharing!
One of the best of his '80s albums. Weird, low-production video, but great song.
That's the Beauty of a GREAT VIDEO! It doesn't HAVE to be "HIGH TECH" like today! ALOT of the "GREAT" Videos of the 80's and early 90's were actually pretty low budget AND Low tech! But they make a HUGE STATEMENT! :D
@@j.s.connolly8579 I think that the song itself is far stronger than the video here. When I just sit and listen to the song itself, it puts all of these visuals of suffering and sadness in my head, but here's Alice just standing in a scrapyard, singing, and making some limited gestures, calling attention to how disturbingly unhealthy he looks.
Should have been a huge hit. I love the lyrics they're among his best
"have"
A good line which he didn't use though would've been "I'm the grinding anguish in the codgers bones".
@@glenc5185 dude, really?
Amen, Mr. Eastwood. Couldn't agree more.
Grew up on this album, 1/2 of it should have been all over the radio then and STILL getting played on classic rock stations in between AC DC and Tom Petty the past 4 decades. lol
Brother, you keep bringin that truth in watever wordz you wanna. Mr. callahan and his keyboard nazis might learn a few things. Like
1 Good folks who don't talk 'n type perfekt all the tiime are more fun and way more saferer and healthy to be around than those who think they should correct someone when they ain't even been asked and should be mindin their own bidness
2 People doin stuff like that are the point of some of coop's lyrics in this very song! lol
and
3 Mr callahan needs to go re-partake in the vids he posted on his channel about peace, harmony, enjoyment and freewill.
It's hilarious, ironic AND seriously misguided that someone with a bunch of religious and spirituality videos on their channel felt the need to come to song A GODFATHER OF POLITICAL INCORRECTNESS wrote about PAIN just to correct a HAPPY fan expressing three whole count 'em POSITIVE thoughts in about TWELVE plain inglish WORDZ!! lol
This is probably exactly why coop penned in Clones right before Pain:
"I'm through doctor.
We don't need your kind.
The other ones.
Ugly ones.
Stupid boys.
Wrong ones."
"We're all clones. All are one and one are all."
"Six is having trouble adjusting to his clone status,
Have to put him on a shelf.
All day long, hear him crying so loud...I just wanna be myself, I just wanna be myself, be myself, be myself, be myself."
Hmmm... all these years later maybe there's a pattern... Maybe folks who feel the need to disrupt someone's happiness to correct that person's grammar for their own self-aggrandizement is EXACTLY why coop followed a song about trying make humans Clones immediately with a song about Pain. lol
What a great album. Rock on brother! ;)
@@RockDawg77 It's a sickness I can't control.
"And I'm the reds by the bed of the suicide star."
The great thing about youtube is the preservation of these great forgotten film clips.
This is my absolut favorit song from Alice , and he made a lot of great ones
And I love Flush the Fashion the Album , can't understand the bad critics and comments at all , its a masterpiece to me but only the true fans of Alice will recognize that
I was about 15. Believe it or not I heard Clones on a Chicago rock station. I was instantly hooked.
I do!
Favorite song, an absolute masterpiece.
When art and reality smash into one another like a car wreck, you have a very sick Alice Cooper singing about "Pain".
Bowie was light years ahead of everybody. His 1980 Floor Show from 1973 was bang on the money.
They played this live as well as the world needs guts when I saw them recently. Best surprise ever ❤ This deserved to be a huge hit.
Courtney Harrison same here , I couldn't believe it . Two of my favorite alice songs and I got to see them live twice 😍
World needs guts is a great song. Constrictor is the very first cassette I ever bought when I was in fourth grade.
One of the greatest alice cooper songs.

'From The Inside' and 'Flush The Fashion' are my two favorite Alice Cooper albums. 'Pain' and 'Clones (we're all)' are two great tracks from 'Flush The Fashion'. I think the OST for the movie 'Roadie' (1980) has an alternate version of 'Pain'?
I have always wondered why it was specified the version from the Life and Crimes boxset was the album version. If there exists an alternative version that's the one they should have put on there IMO.
Leather Boots
I got "Inside" for Christmas 78 - loved the cover and loved the record - still do😊
Thank you for posting this incredible video.The intensity of his performance, his expressions are unsurpassed.Only a human with true knowledge of pain could deliver it's horror with such grace.
Also check " pain" performed in the Capitol in 1981. Unrivalled clarity and power in all aspects, lyrics, melody, and rhythm. I was so chuffed to see him perform this song in Dublin, this autumn.
Thank you Master Cooper!
Are you kidding? He was high as fuck. That's not intensity. It's PCP.
@@jondunmore4268 Yeah, by the looks of it he was barely there, and hanging on to life by a thread.
1980 Flush The Fashion album. Great album.
For a long time I avoided these albums purely because in the 90s nobody talked about them and Alice didn’t play any of the songs live. Flush the Fashion is actually a very solid album and I like it a lot.
Funny, I avoided seeing Alice after the Special Forces tour (I don't think he played the UK for Zipper and DaDa) BECAUSE he didn't play the "Blackout" period songs!
I love this one along with clones. They are my favorites from Flush The Fashion.
THRILLS!!! just THRILLS!!! love that album & "Flush the Fashion"
What ? ? ? ?❓❓❓❓
This is from Alice Cooper in Paris or also called the Saturday night special released in 1982, I have the complete video which contains a bunch of songs from Flush the Fashion and Special Forces as well as some re makes but when I upload it to my channel TH-cam block it Worldwide, Anyways thanks for sharing
best Alice Cooper song EVER. Love it. Thanks for the video
Interesting to see this. I've always heard about how bad of shape Alice was in during the early 80s. It's amazing, he's delivering such an amazing song with some of his best lyrics but he looks like he can barely stand up. I'd be surprised if he had any recollection of this. I know there are some albums he doesn't remember making. This is one of my favorite songs of his.
Absolutely fabulous and smart! After all "cool rock" 70-s albums and complete failure of 1978's "From the Inside" Alice decided to take a different direction in his career and made his music more commercially eatable, so the Pop, Easy Rock, and New Wave radio station could play his songs. Many old-time fans did not forgive him for that. Album was produced by Roy Thomas Baker, the guy why made golden and platinum albums with Queen, Nazareth, Cheap Trick, etc. Back in that time, the album sounds to some folks too much like a cheap Pop Rock and critics did not lose a chance to annihilate Alice for a commercial approach, but today I see it as it's a true Classic Rock album with exelent tracks and sound. So, if you have a backyard party tomorrow and offer your guest beer, BBQ and loud music put Alice's "Pain" or "Clones" as a welcoming tune.
Que comentário delicioso!!!
Abraços do Brasil!!!
Very underrated song! i can't believe i never seen video! shame on me.
Not one of his better known songs but a damn good one and one of my AC favourites. Yes, it deserved to be a hit, like so many of his other songs. There are not enough people in the world with good taste.
Patrick UK I was soo happy when he brought it back last year for the spend the night with alice cooper tour . I saw it twice it was epic. Both times front row .
It's a terribly underrated song, powerful instrumentals, vocals, and lyrics.
my fav song on this album
Dead Weight
one of Alice Cooper's best
my fav of all of his songs
agreed! 7&7's cover is also badass!!
This album is a lost treasure
One of his best songs ever
FANTASTIC, Best Alice Cooper Album.
just one awesome song and album. by one of the best ever.
Under rated song and now playing it live recently Good to change it around!
I really like this period, now, although at the time I called it, Alice Numan, and Devo Cooper. I liked it later in retrospect. And I have this album on vinyl, as well as special forces, zipper, missing, but also dada. I eventually got all of those on CD, including zipper. That whole period has a novelty ambiance about it. And I love it. I love it to deth! It's significant to Alice's mutated history. God's bless him! (Yes, I said gods, not God)I mean it from the bottom of my pool! (Lemmy said that!)
What was "missing"?
Although it's in color, this video has a silent movie era quality to it. Brilliant.
Never saw this.... thanks for posting!
Play it on the concert in Vienna
Absolutely amazing what a ..... great song
Love Alice since im 14
Thanks for this great song
I saw him performing this song two years ago. Believe me, he sang it with more power or and performed with more intense percussion. It was one of the best Songs this evening. You can find his Concert in Dresden 2017 as well on TH-cam.
"I'm hidden in the scream when the virgin dies". As a 12 year old hearing this song that scared the crap out of me.
Had this on 8 track. Back when Alice still had a sense of humor. 80's Alice ruled!
my favorite line, "And it's a compliment to me to hear you screaming through the night" !!
This song is so relevant right now. Pain.
Wow! This is shocking...in all ways! So disturbing seeing him that way...the song is amazing...
Not only one this song but all of his music are masterpiece of his amazing lyrics. Best song writer.period
I love him too much.I want to see Vincent for many years too. Thanks to my friend Madmak Madness i received this video just now. Many kisses and all my Respect n Love from Athens Greece
Ekati.
Excellent song more of rock sound then new wave sound off of Flush for Fashion
It was from flush the fashion he was in pain himself.He had fallen off the wagon and finally said enough is enough,he came close to being divorced.
@@michaelholloway2337 “enough’s enough”
This was like the ballad of the album, the album had new wave stuff (Clones, Leather Boots mainly) but the rest had a punky feel but the synths gave it a new wave flavor at times, but this was probably his punkiest sounding album along with special forces and zipper catches skin.
Of all the different versions of the performances of the song pain , this is the most creepy. I love it. 👍
I have never heard this song before. I love it!
Alice is a great performer and I love the song
"The darker the night, the brighter the stars,
The deeper the grief, the closer is God!" Fyodor Dostoevsky
Great song! Thanks for sharing the video.
Alice is the greatest poet/rock star of all time.
Cool ... never saw it before. Thanks.
I love the song and the video. 💖
I love this song !
Great song! Alice is a pioneer.
1:52 idk why his gesture when he says "tonight" cracks me up.
... still sends chills down my spine!!!!!.... So good and yet so sad!!!!!.... This video should be shown in all drug rehabs to the patients!!!!!... THANK GOD HE SURVIVED!!!!!... And definitely were Marilyn stole his image from!!!!!
Awesome, he did an interlude to this song for like 5 lines when I saw him w/DP
Reaper Syn really , he did the whole song when I saw him here in germany
Manson borrowed(stole) from this period of Alice.
He borrowed(stole) from any period of Alice.
@@johanjohansson3973 I think Alice's old demons found Marilyn Manson but are not trying as hard to destroy him because he is less likely to be saved by Jesus Christ.
@@violet.senderhauf2187 Oh, they're destroying him plenty, it's plainly obvious.
ILY Alice. Forever.
He looked gravely ill here. Glad he recovered. Legend
yes in so many ways. i love alice.
Very beautifull song.
BEST song he did in years when this came out
Flush the Fashion is a totally underrated album.
Great time in the early 80's. My time, even the title of the album. Flush the Fashion. And the lyrics
This song is on Roadie movie soundtrack. "I'm the lump on your head when you step on the rake" -brilliant lyrics!
De los mejores temas que he tenido la oportunidad de disfrutar una obra maestra
You can tell that he was fighting his demons around this time.
He had his own pain to deal with.
Genius
I absolutely love this incarnation of Alice Cooper. There’s clearly something wrong with me, because he was close to death, but he has sort of transcended the terrestrial world at this point, he’s almost human.
Alice lives!
Masterpiece
I'm gonna have to explore this chapter of his life for myself. It is a disturbing statement of how far down the rabbit hole he had gone.
Those were his Black out years as he said him self ,But I think they were his BEST.
Extremely dark time for him, though he made a lot of very good music during it. Also made a lot of good music since.
I know he talks about not remembering this album but his moves and performance are on point in this video. Was he really that bad off or was this looking like death on two legs part of his image for the album?
A little bit of column B, but mostly column A, sadly. Still a masterpiece.
Hafta agree with Brendalee, it was both. And being the artist that he is, he was aware of it and capitalized on his deathly appearance for sure.
Pure classic Alice
Grande RockMan
LOVE IT
I remmeber being crazy for this song at age 12, 2020 now, nearing 18 in 7 months, I LOVE ALICE AND THIS SONG!!! It sounds so romantic, so .... blood boiling
One of the first songs I ever downloaded. This and City Drops Into The Night by Jim Carrol, also a great songwriter.
GREAT VIDEO 👍👌
Love alice cooper
💗💗💗💗
This song is amazing.
I was filthiest one at the vandalized grave. Pure genius
Thank you!!!
Ditto
I love the piano intro
tenho o Flush the fashion em vinil, impagável
Que foda mano💖
A TRUE GENIUS!!!!!!!!
Fabulous
He looks ill on this . Happy he recovered since that time.
He was in such a bad place in this period, hard drinking, hard drugs, losing more and more friends as he went, I believe he's said that he has a lot of gaps in his memory of this time, that he doesn't recall recording albums such as Zipper Catches Skin, stuff like that.
DaDa has another track which is really powerful like this, Pass The Gun Around, and I'm not sure about the exact time period of this, but I wonder if this song relates to when he came to his breaking point, when he had alienated all his friends and family. He hated his life and was about to shoot himself, then in the last moment opens the gun and dumps the cartridges out the window, flushes his cocaine down the toilet, and cries himself to sleep, checking into rehab the next day.
He must have done any number of videos we've rarely seen, if ever. This song was the most "Ezrin-like" of the RTB productions on "Flush The Fashion". There's another recording of this song on the "Roadie" soundtrack (along with a newer version of "Road Rats"), that was produced by Todd Rundgren, and has most of Utopia on the track. It's great in its' own way, and Alice changes the "all night...tonight" line around at the end of that version. Alice and the group make an appearance in that film as well. As seen with "Clones", it's good that Alice could still make great music, even if he was jeopardizing his health at the time. It's ok to look back on this period of his life now, since we know he got healthier after that.
God bless Alice Cooper!
Will he bless himself? th-cam.com/video/mjrdCzmqEH8/w-d-xo.html
