Trash City Rocker
(RAW, 1989-08-09)

Chart News
(RAW, 1989-08-23)
Yikes! Alice Cooper's back! The veteran gorester's latest 45, 'Poison', slips neatly to the top slot of our singles chart (it had reached the astounding level of No. 5 in the gallup chart as used by the BBC at the time of writing), climbing from last issues...
Bed Of Nails
(RAW, 1989-09-20)
SORRY, I don't like the new Alice LP, 'Trash', at all!. It's just too contrived for my tastes. And 'Bed Of Nails' (the followup to Top Five smash 'Poison') is one of the worst offenders on the record. Bland, spiritless and utterly lame. Tragic ...

Vince The Prince
(RAW, 1989-12-13)
Alice Cooper is a worried man. Actually, no Vincent Furnier is a worried man. And the duality of Alice Cooper's on and off stage existance is important, particularly in this context. Alice escapes from the charming, civilised shell Furnier entraps him with...
House Of Fire
(RAW, 1990-01-24)
Method-acting Cooper in the style of Trash-Godfather meets commercially-aimed radio rock. Taken from last years 'Trash' LP it also features a live rendition of 'Poison' on the flipside. Loud and rousing but little more than sleeze as a fashion item rather...
Alice Cooper Trashes The World
(RAW, 1990-08-08)
Shot on Alice's last UK tour in Birmingham, this is a well filmed representation of what the Alice show was all about. The sad thing is that, while I admire the man enormously for his gore attire and general attitude, the last time around everything...

Prime Cuts
(RAW, 1991-07-24)

Concert Review
(RAW, 1991-08-07)

Wembley '91
