I would recommend listening and reacting to the entire Nightmare album in order, as it’s a concept album and each song is a different part of the nightmare. Each song is very different from the others and there are indeed hard rock, guitar heavy tunes on this album as well as a beautiful ballad where Alice once again shows his vocal ability. Pretty much all of Alice’s 28 studio albums sound different from any of his other albums. He and his band(s) are very versatile. If you continue onto the next tune, Devil’s Food, it connects and bleeds into the next track titled the Black Widow. Listen to them together.
Good advice. Saw this tour and the one prior back in the day. Your right about “Nightmare.” This was the “Alice” image ramped up hard and it worked. Black Widow, nothing like it. Billion Dollar Babies, same thing. When that was released, every rock player took notice. 🤘😎
Pink Floyd have their "The Wall" album and for me, this is Alive Coopers "Wall" album so to speak. It is one of the spookiest albums I have ever heard, injected with brief moments of humor, something else many people miss. And the trilogy, Years Ago-Steven-and The Awakening still leaves me mesmerized and spooked.
Recently saw Mr. Alice Cooper live in concert, about a month ago, for the third time. First in 1978, then in 1983, and now in 2022. His voice is still as good as ever, UNBELIEVABLE. And he still puts on A SHOW. He always has a prop (Cane, Whip, Dagger, etc) in his hand, and there are dancers and giant scary figures wandering around the stage, appropriate for each song, and a killer band with three guitarists. A fun, crazy, entertaining SHOW. You should do the whole Nightmare album for the month of October, it fits the feel of this time of year.
Alice Copper you saved my life do to my job and personal life i had to hear that song from the movie frozen [let it go ] several times a day for 2 years. To keep from losing my mind I started to pretend it was sung by Alice Cooper. Now I'd like to hear a cover by Alice Cooper. If your out there Alice Copper please cover that song from Frozen❤
My brother is a professional chef, but back in '95ish when he was interning at a restaurant in Arizona (Phoenix, I think), he said Alice Cooper and his family would come in fairly often, as they were friends with the owner. He said the whole family was so kind....kids were very well-mannered, and they always said grace before eating. "Alice" would always go back and personally thank the chefs after dinner. Public persona is very different from reality.
Alice Cooper actually knew Jim Morrison and opened for the Doors a time or two, so your comparison of his music to that of the Doors would be highly welcomed on his part. Welcome to My Nightmare is a classic album and highly underrated and was my introduction to Alice Cooper way back in '75. I recommend you listen to the entire album!!
Please check out "Only women bleed", one of my favourite songs of AC. It's worth watching him live on stage. I've seen him in 2013 and he blew me away. His wife Sheryl was playing and dancing the role of creepy nurse Rozetta and the other women's roles. She was awesome, too. She started to dance for him in 1975 when they did the "Welcome to my nightmare" show. Later, Alice's eldest daughter Calico also went sometimes on tour with her dad and danced for him. She's as fantastic as her mother.
" No More Mr Nice Guy". Aside from the stage costume, Alice is amazing. His albums are a stunning compilation of musical genius. Outstanding. Saw him live at our High School. Freaky at the time.Funny fact he is a golf fanatic and had played golf 6 days a week for 30 years. Glad you enjoyed Harri. Thanks Harri and KDKitchen. Excellent tune. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I’ve seen Alice about 7 or 8 times but never back in the day. He really knows how to put on a show and this whole album is a masterpiece, one of my all-time favorites.
Alice Cooper is, a figure who has always been able to reincarnate and rise from the ashes like a Phoenix, change her stage image thanks to acting skills on stage, personally I have now listened to two Alice albums, in my opinion underestimated, these are 1981 "special forces" and 1982 "zipper catches skin", I recommend to listen.
:)...Saw him in 78...He put on quite a show...School's Out for Summer tour...I was 18 and just graduated high school...:)...Philly spectrum...You could smoke weed and cigarettes in the seats...
@@michelleortega1514 - OK, in "Alma Mater" he mentions "Camelback, my high school" and later, he mentions "Cortez, I'll miss you". - what is Camelback?
@@doplinger1 camelback is another high school he went to.I think he did graduate from there.All O know is he went to Cortez as did a few of the band.Early days
One of the best, most under appreciated bands behind Alice in all of Rock history. He got all the attention, but they were as much a part of it as his voice and showmanship
I saw Alice on his "Welcome To My Nightmare" tour in 1975. Great music & a great stage show, everything from a guillotine to a beautiful ballerina (later his wife) to giant spiders climbing a giant web. Alice has always known how to give an audience a good time. He's also a very funny guy, love his interviews. 💙🕸🕷🎃☮
This was the opening song for his show which at the time was like going through a haunted house on stage. It was meant to shock like nothing else seen at the time. There was hanging and guillotines all for the shock value.
"Nightmare " is one of the greats! An incredibly well constructed album full of awesome hits. Just as Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon, this is one to appreciate the full album in one sitting.
I took to AC in 1975, when WTMN came out and the 45 rpm... A side. Only Women Bleed/ B side. Cold Ethyl. A slow one...very dramatic and a Rocker about necrophilia. The shock rockers stage show was the best rock show ever as well!
Bob Ezrin is the producing/writing influence through this, Kiss Destroyer, Meatloaf Bat out of Hell and Pink Floyd The Wall …. plus many others. I think he brings stage play sensibilities to rock. Can be a little cheesy but probably on purpose.
Lots of musicians who are considered to be ‘shocking’ actually have great voices. Even the original singer for GWAR (Oderus Urungus, RIP) had an awesome voice. Check out their ballad ‘The Road Behind’ and their song ‘Salaminizer.’ Because of their costumes they’re one of the most underrated bands of the 80s.
I'm surprised that no one has discovered how much of The Doors there is in this song. If I remember correctly, Alice and Jim Morrison used to hang out quite a bit, and that's no surprise, hearing this.
He is 74 years old and still does concerts! Everyone is an actual theater experience. In his early days his wife danced in his shows and killed him on stage every night, now their daughter does, lol.
@@firefighterchick Sheryl is with him on tour and in his show again all the time for at least 10 years now . I've seen him in 2015, 2017 and 2019 and in all those concerts it was Sheryl with him on stage ( she has 3 parts , a windup doll during only women bleed, the evil nurse and now also madam guillotine)

If you want Halloween songs try, COLD ETHYL, DEVIL'S FOOD - THE BLACK WIDOW. The last 2 must be played consecutively. All from A.C. Welcome to My Nightmare. Happy Halloween 👹🎃👻
I saw this concert at Wembley empire pool(arena) 1975 it was brilliant. I would recommend the Black widow, where Michael Jackson ripped it off on Thriller.
I've seen Alice in concert more than any other act. He's not my favorite, but my husband absolutely loves his stage performances. Blood, guts, and gore! ☠
Now you really have to go back one step to where the Alice Cooper Band had its origins the on the Lou Reed Rock & Roll Animal live album', with Dick Wagner & Steve Hunter (guitarists) who took the whole band over to Alice Cooper except the keyboard player. Frank Zappa took the Alice Cooper Band under his wing because no one else would touch them.
A trip back to my public school days. Saw him a couple of times live during that era. Received some backlash from my then girlfriend's family when the local paper review commented on the whiff of some questionable smoke in the air. As the saying goes.... it wasn't me. 😉
I always thought he sounded like Morrison on this and on other songs when he sung low and controlled. I was hoping you would vindicate me and mention it.
Another great Halloween song is Bloodrock-D.O.A. which was actually a hit in 1971 even though it was banned from the radio. Studio album version is best.
Alice Cooper seemed to to come out of the blue for us teens, but more so because we came of age as teenage during the time this album came out, but he seemed to speak to us teens. We didn’t appreciate the musicianship of his early band back them
When I was growing up we played this album back to back. You know how kids are. I'm not gonna lie, I laughed at your reaction to Steven and that other creepy song. Not at you, but it was funny. Only women bleed is Lso very creepy but beautiful in much the same way

Yes absolutely
Great reaction Harri! Alice Cooper actually has/had an amazing voice... Check out, "Only Women Bleed and I Never Cry."
Here the voice is very similar to that of Eric Burdon !
@@giuliogrifi7739 definitely a compliment for sure👍
@@kdkitchen3175 Absolutely, yes !
How You Gonna See Me Now
Another groovy Alice Cooper song with great vocals is , "Is It My Body".....
Nice choice! I never see that one recommended.

Saw him in 2018 at the Greek in LA -- Alice is a fantastic showman and always brings a great band with him. Definitely a bucket list show!!
Love when you do Alice Cooper. Thanks
He is an amazing singer and song writer 72 still going strong love him, ps he is a beautiful, kind, sweet human.

Fantastic album. My fave tune is The Black Widow. It has a forward by the great Vincent Price. Not to be missed.
Where Michael Jackson ripped it off.
I saw Alice in concert in the 90's with my son. Not only is the music fantastic, the live show is just really something to see.
Check out his vocals on Only Women Bleed on the same album. Great ballad!
"I Never Cry" and "You and Me"... as well.

Super reaction sir! Alice has an amazing voice! Check out "You and Me", "I Never Cry", and "Only Women Bleed". He's amazing with the softer songs.
Love all three of these songs

One of the best, most under appreciated bands behind Alice in all of Rock history. He got all the attention, but they were as much a part of it as his voice and showmanship
Saw him first time in 1976 or 1977. Alice Cooper - Be My Lover/Only Women Bleed/I Never Cry - Live very awesome introduction ...

Thank you so much for this reaction, I need more ALice :)
This is a blues and a good blues. It is my lovely song of Alice Cooper. I translated the song in russian and it sounds cool.
If you like this, you've got to listen to "Cold Ethyl". A Classic !!
Just one of his albums i have and what an awesome album it is. Great song choice once again Harri.
Thank you for doing the studio version.
Here’s a word for you: whenever you listen to Alice Cooper, you have to watch the video version live! Totally 💯 different
"Nightmare " is one of the greats! An incredibly well constructed album full of awesome hits. Just as Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon, this is one to appreciate the full album in one sitting.

Please check out “ Steven “ from Alice. You won’t be sorry!
please react to more alice!
Arthur Brown is similar to Alice Cooper also. Alice and Arthur did a concert together.some years back. Thumbs up Harri on the video.
I love me some Alice! Do yourself a favor and watch the concert videos, fully half the performance is the stage theatrics.
Oh I was hoping you were reacting to him performing to this song live. Alice Cooper puts on a great live show... guillotine and all!
I'll do some live shows of him then.I know hes freaky live
I believe that this is his very best album! I fist listened to it 1975 when it first came out.
Dad was friends with his wife and got front row tickets on this tour - the pictures he got from this stage show is amazing! Giant spiders and monsters
Excellent ❤❤❤
Try BRUTAL PLANET! One of his best songs, nobody knows it

Check out "Blue Turk". I think it goes right along with what you were saying.
Alice Cooper was the best ever guest on the Muppet Show. He sang this song with Gonzo, I believe…
I totally agree with the The Doors analogy. Even before you mentioned it, I thought this could’ve easily been a The Doors song.
Him and Jim Morrison were the original Hollywood vampires
I'm surprised that no one has discovered how much of The Doors there is in this song. If I remember correctly, Alice and Jim Morrison used to hang out quite a bit, and that's no surprise, hearing this.
He is 74 years old and still does concerts!
Everyone is an actual theater experience.
In his early days his wife danced in his shows and killed him on stage every night, now their daughter does, lol.
Not sure if it's still that way, but in 2018, both Cheryl and Calico performed in the show with him.
@@stpnwlf9 as far as I'm aware of Cheryl doesn't anymore, unless possibly in a much smaller role.
I would so love a chance to see him in concert!

Indeed. Check out House Of Fire and / or Spark In The Dark, Firefighter Chick.
“welcome to my breakdown” pure jim voice
Cooper does a variety of genres. Id recommend “My God”

Famed horror movie star Vincent Price provided a monologue in the song "Devil's Food". 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Alice cooper# black widow (with Vincent Price as intro). And I’ll bite your face off! Are great live
they were from Detroit originally, so I've always felt this song especiallyhad a bit of a Motown flavor with the instrumental work
I love this song and the whole album is great I grew up with this ❤❤❤💀💀💀🤡🤡🤡😱
Welcome to my Nightmare The entire album,” Devil’s Food, The Black Widow, Only Women, Department of Youth, Cold Ethel, Escape, and more. And then do, Oingo Boingo, “Dead Man’s Party
Catch him this year! 75th birthday celebration!
I’ve seen him a few times but not in the early 70’s when he was at his peak. Always a great band regardless of decade.
Oh, that's funny. I just mentioned this album to you under a different video. Didn't know you had already met it.
You need to react to Alice Cooper power ballads, totally awesome
You gotta' do "Steven" from the same album. "Only Women Bleed" is great also.
"I Never Cry" and "You and Me"... as well.
.Que buena música Harri muchas gracias
Gracias 😍
More Alice! Check out the 2017 Album "Welcome 2 my Nightmare"
Did you notice the cover? Alice pays respects and seems to say: "Welcome to My Nightmare" 😂😂😂

Alice is a scratch golfer, he also funded and built a boys home and supports that. He's a devout christian.
