Welcome To My Nightmare Dreamhouse
(RIP, 1987-02-00)
It's Saturday night at the local overcrowded concert madhouse, and the teeming fans are going wild! Frisbees are flying everywhere. Suddenly, the lights go out, and flaming Bics are held up high to the right, left and front of you. Hell, the guy behind you just lit your hair on fire! Thousands of rabid teenage shagheads start chanting, "Al-ice! Al-ice! Al-ice!" and girls in sexy spandex pants, wearing those silly, green, glow-in-the-dark things around their necks, squeal with excitement as a solitary figure makes his way to the edge of the stage-holding a huge, green python!<...

The Weird Weird World of Alice Cooper
(RIP, 1988-03-00)
How can Alice Cooper ever be normal? His life has been one long splatter movie with angels circling about it. He grew up as Vincent Furnier. He lived a very comfortable childhood in Detroit and Phoenix, dreaming of ghosts and watching...

Alice Cooper, Nice Guy with a Guillotine
(RIP, 1990-09-00)
Alice Cooper is an American rock legend. When he first erupted on the world some 20 years ago, the critics scoffed, the world was appalled, and his legacy grew. Cooper has beaten everyone and everything - including his long-term bout with alcoholism - by doing things in his own inimitable manner. ...
The Silence of the Coop
(RIP, 1991-10-00)
In the ever-changing, here-today, gone-later-today world of rock and roll, it's refreshing to know that there will always be at least one constant: Alice Cooper. For 21, yes, 21 records, Alice has been delivering his own personal brand of psycho rock, which teeters on the edge between brilliance and insanity. But it's an insane world, so fault him not for entertaining us with certain realities we turn our cheeks to, certain closets we leave unopened. Alice has always been coy, yet honest with his audience, and his latest effort, Hey Stoopid, is neither a put-down nor a sermon. He's only opening closed eyes to certain situations....
Something Wicked This Way Comes
(RIP, 1994-08-00)
Vincent Furnier, the man behind the makeup, is a nice man and honorable artist. His alter ego, "Alice Cooper," is as dangerous and surly as ever. His father has been James Thurber's Walter Mitty, his mother Bette Davis in What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? Vampires, fires, blood and hell follow him everywhere. He cannot be trusted. His position as the world's most exciting showman remains unchallanged. His theatrical and video innovations have influenced all who have followed, and over 20 years of consistently incredible music have made Coop a legend in his own lifetime. Alice Cooper's newest release, The Last Temptation, shows that he still has a lot to teach. After one listen you will get down on your tender knees and thank him....
Idol Chatter
(RIP, 1995-11-00)
After his last Epic Records project, Klassicks, shock-rock king Alice Cooper signed with Hollywood Records, whose president, Bob Pfeifer, coincidentally had signed Alice to Epic in the first place. While avid and rabid fans champ at the bit for new material, Warner Brothers will soothe your ears with a killer box set scheduled for release after the first of the year. Vacationing in Florida before his dates in South America with Ozzy Osbourne, Alice called to let loose: "These are just little pet peeves, but they really bother me....There's things here that I have been trying to get off my chest for a long time. Things that you just can not, can not air anywhere else, except in your magazine!" And air away he did.......
