Fun Fact: "Poison" was a huge comeback song for Cooper, who released five Platinum albums from 1970-1975 but fell out of favor over the next 12 years and battled a debilitating drug and alcohol addiction that nearly killed him (he got sober for good in 1983). The song vaulted him back to the charts and into the public eye, earning him a whole new generation of fans. Cooper-loving parents were thrilled to see their kids discover him, and entire families started showing up at his concerts.

Guy is such a unique personality. Crazy on-stage, a showman who mixed his music up & had an 80s resurgence with this one. Really intelligent, philanthropist & heckuva golf player. Has done golf & motorcycle charities & after years of drugs & alcohol, became a Christian...still married to his wife Sheryl.
Alice played in our town in 2024 with Rob Zombie. While he was in town, he visited local restaurants, and attended a local church service with his lovely wife. He really is two completely different people. His personality is very different from his persona. ✌🏼😎🇺🇸
Alice Cooper lived next door to Groucho Marx and they were such good friends that when Groucho had one of his bouts of insomnia he'd phone Alice and they'd sit watching old movies all night
If you remember the great movie star Cary Grant there's this fabulous story of his attending an Alice Cooper concert (NB content warning for drug use and defecation - yes, really). Cary would have been in his sixties at this point "MAUREEN DONALDSON: There was a concert scheduled for San Diego. Cary insisted he go incognito, so I disguised him as best I could in the "style" of a more than slightly seedy agent. I wrapped sunglasses around Cary's eyes, a gold chain around his neck and a checkered jacket around his shoulders, sharkskin pants. I will say that Cary did his best. He wore earplugs and sat through the entire show without one word of complaint. He sat through the "beheading" and the contortions with the snake and the rest. Driving back to Los Angeles, I congratulated Cary for being such a good sport. He'd made an extraordinary effort to please me. "You really hated it, didn't you?" "It's..." he said, struggling for words, "You know what it's like? Remember I told you about the time I took LSD in my doctor's office and shat all over his rug and floor?" "Yes," I said. "Well now I know how that poor doctor felt.""
This song for Cooper was, in my opinion, one of the better comeback songs out there. Considering his difficult past with drugs and such, he bounced back in a major way. The next song from Cooper would be his classic, School’s Out.
Funny story, I was playing in a club in Montreal in the early 2000's and backstage there was a wall full of famous autographs like Sting, David Bowie, Brian Adams, Alice in Chains and many others and right in the middle was an odd name ''Vincent Fournier'' so I started laughing out loud and showed it to my guitarist and he stared at me funny and said ' You don't know who that is ?'' to which I answered : No !!!! He replied : That's Alice Cooper. I felt like an idiot.

Alice Cooper is great.. lots of ups and downs in life... But the struggle never got the better of him, I think Alice is more Theatre than pure rock and roll, his stage shows are like going to a pantomime show.
This song played non stop on MTV europe for a while there. This was on the tail end of the "power ballad" era and was kind of one of the last hugely popular bangers of the style.
Saw him briefly around 2010 in London s Selfridges-)) chatted for a minute like " oh, hi sir, how are u?" , he was a bit surprised-)) seems a a nice guy .
Love you talking about Ghost. Waiting for a new album & tour. The concert movie, Rite Here Rite Now, is available on DVD/BiuRay. Was #10 at US box office when it came out.
It's crazy just how successful he managed to reinvent himself in the video era of the 80s. I really did not care for any of the 80s albums but you have to say his stage show and Legacy was already firmly in place and he's been a force of nature ever since man.
Hahaaa I knew some people were gonna be upset and they didn’t disappoint 😆 Still love this song and idc 🤷🏻♀️ You’re welcome for the Alice doll, guys 😊
You should react to the song The Man behind the Mask. It's a song he wrote for Friday the 13th part 6 Jason Lives and it has a video that's off the chain
As I remember it was MTV hit of late 80s. That song his comeback as I understand ( though I never really followed his music / art) but that what was talked about at the time.

He's interesting. First as a trendsetter. It's easy to look at it now and see him in a genre but he was one who was defining this path along with KISS known then I think as "shock rock" which was treating rock and roll as more of a performative art. In that the other thing I think is interesting and via your questions about him is he has always went out of his way to make it public that this a performance and under that makeup is a real person with every day mediocre interests.

Much of the "dark" stuff at the time was more the subject of sensualist media and performers like him where more trying to illustrate systematic issues typically church and state as well down to war.

This really seems like a video that should have been shot in whatever warehouse space Los Angeles had that only made Playboy models and showers of Sparks and fog.. you know.... we're all hair metal videos were shot in the 80s

A man so evil he was on the Muppet Show
Saw him in concert in 79 , he had a electric chair on stage, a real showman
Some people say his 'Trash' era was his worst, but it's by far his most epic stuff.
It's fine for 80's but Trash Talkers haven't even checked there classic 70's material yet

Trash is my favorite Alice Cooper album, top 10 favorite album period.

Alice Cooper aka Vincent F is an awesome person. I met him here in Phoenix about 20+ years ago with one of his snakes
Alice Cooper is such an incredible singer! I saw him to times live and it was incredible
BRUTAL PLANET is a must hear tune by Cooper!!☮️❤️😎🎼
Just a gimic. He is a very strong Christian. Both Alice and his wife are the children of ministers.
The man actually built community centers for kids, plays golf, does charity, and is even a sunday school teacher.
@@hackerx7329Have always heard good things about him. Funny to, he is never in the papers for anything bad. That says something.
Morning, guys! I love alice cooper! This was a very popular song! I loved it! Ya ghost went through my head too hollywood! Lol❤😂

Ive seen Alice Cooper twice and the only crazy thing he did on stage was bring out a huge python for a song.
Snake Metal🤘🐍😆
Love you talking about Ghost. Waiting for a new album & tour. The concert movie, Rite Here Rite Now, is available on DVD/BiuRay. Was #10 at US box office when it came out.
Great stage show. He had a small part in the movie “Wayne’s World” playing himself. I love the whole movie but his part is my favorite ❤️
Every time I see Alice Cooper I think of him in Wayne’s World and the scene with him talking about how Milwaukee is an old Indian name 😂
It's crazy just how successful he managed to reinvent himself in the video era of the 80s. I really did not care for any of the 80s albums but you have to say his stage show and Legacy was already firmly in place and he's been a force of nature ever since man.
Never hear this without thinking about friday the 13th
Poison from Bel Biv Devoe is what you were singing at the beginning 😁
This was the 80s where AIDS was the big scare back then
Probably the song that inspired him to be casted on Wayne's World.
He accidentally ran a sword through his leg on stage and played it off like it was his regular stage show.
Alice is touring right now. He always puts on a great show!
Hahaaa I knew some people were gonna be upset and they didn’t disappoint 😆
Still love this song and idc 🤷🏻♀️
You’re welcome for the Alice doll, guys 😊
If you get the chance to see his show live do it he is an entertainer and sounds the same live
You should react to the song The Man behind the Mask. It's a song he wrote for Friday the 13th part 6 Jason Lives and it has a video that's off the chain
Part of the trend of having metal songs as horror movie soundtracks (eg. Dokken for Elm Street) that was started by AC/DC for Maximum Overdrive
Check out Alice’s song, cold ethyl
As I remember it was MTV hit of late 80s. That song his comeback as I understand ( though I never really followed his music / art) but that what was talked about at the time.
Alice Cooper - Bed of nails!!!
You're welcome 😊

Alice Cooper is a super nice guy and is very strongly Christian. Hard to believe, but utterly true.

If you didn't notice the blond and black haired girl is the same girl
Was huge over here in the UK. I can't tell you how much I wanted to be the hot chick in a hair metal video! 😂

Alice Cooper is a very outspoken Christian these days.
Judeo christian ? ' devil spawn ' ✡️🔚
Also. He gets decapitated on stage.
This really seems like a video that should have been shot in whatever warehouse space Los Angeles had that only made Playboy models and showers of Sparks and fog.. you know.... we're all hair metal videos were shot in the 80s
Very big hir on MTV ball
guys now you have done poison you simply must do bed of nails. please for the love of god react to bed of nails
I recommend listening to the version of Tarja Turunen too. :)
