Alice Cooper began writing songs for his new solo album with guitarist, Dick Wagner, of Lou Reed fame (Wagner also helped write “I Love the Dead”). Cooper also added Ezrin to the team of ‘Welcome to My Nightmare’ as he and Wagner were a team back then. Alice was now ready for a band and he did not want a bunch of special guests on the record. He hired Lou Reed’s popular ‘Rock & Roll Animal Band’ featuring Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter on guitars, Prakish John on bass, Whitey Glan on drums and keyboardist Josef Chirowski. He now had everything - the album, the band, and now was ready for his biggest stage extravaganza: Welcome to My Nightmare



Welcome to My Nightmare

Released: 1975
Label: Atlantic Records
Song Titles: Welcome to My Nightmare / Devil’s Food / The Black Widow / Some Folks / Only Women Bleed / Department of Youth / Cold Ethyl / Years Ago / Steven / The Awakening / Escape

This is yet another classic album by the monster of shock rock although when this masterpiece was first released, fans and critics didn’t know what to think. Was it Alice Cooper (the singer) or was it Alice Cooper (the group) which was responsible for the fame? Upon the release of ‘Welcome to My Nightmare’, Creem magazine featured a cover story on this subject running a duo article about the remnants of the original band and their solo paths as well as Alice’s new band. When reviewing the new album for Rolling Stone in 1975 Dave Marsh hinted at Bob Ezrin as the one responsible for the fame, but he also said that Alice could probably use his original band because as good as the new band leaders, Guitarists Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter are, they could never kick it into overdrive the way Michael Bruce and Glen Buxton (or his replacements) could.

The first single “Only Women Bleed” was actually an instrumental Dick Wagner wrote for his 1968 band, Frost, and was Alice’s first of many ballads of the 70’s which made it to the charts. The album opened with the title track which was a big rock sound mixed with a horn section and Alice intentionally sings this classic in the style of one of his friends/heroes, Jim Morrison. “Devils Food” has a great riff running through it which leads us to one of the highlights: Vincent Price as a curator reading a passage about the Black Widow which leads us to probably the best tune on the album, “The Black Widow” in which Alice is at his best telling us that “we’re all humanary stew if we don’t pledge allegiance to…the BLACK WIDOW!” The band is at it’s best here and actually this is one of the three songs that doesn’t feature Whitey Glan on drums, instead it features ex-Detroit Wheels heavy hitter, Johnny “Bee” Badanjek. “Some Folks” is nothing more than a jazzy dance musical number which deals with the dead. “Only Women Bleed” finishes off side one. “Department of Youth” was Cooper’s attempt at writing another “School’s Out” type anthem. While it is a cool rocker with some humorous lyrics especially towards the end when Donny Osmond is referenced by a group of kids to which Alice answers, “WHAT?!!!” the tune is nowhere near a “School’s Out”. He did bring the song back as an opening tune on one of his recent tours and it went over well with the crowd. “Cold Ethyl” rocks the house in the style of “Mississippi Queen” by Leslie West and Mountain while Alice sings about necrophilia. The next three tunes “Years Ago”, “Steven”, and “The Awakening” are the key to Steven’s nightmare. “Years Ago” has an eerie creepy sound which ends with Steven’s mom calling for him to come home. “Steven” is a strong all around tune which borrows a little from “Tubular Bells” from the ‘The Exorcist’. “The Awakening” revisits “Only Women Bleed” musically but lyrically it deals with Steven waking up and discovering something isn’t right so he follows a trail of blood which leads him to something unexpected. There’s only one way out of this mess and that is to “Escape” which is the final track on the album and it’s another rocker. “Escape” was written by Alice, Kim Fowley and Marc Anthony and later on Fowley and Anthony went on to sue Randy Bachman of B.T.O. over a song Bachman wrote called “Down the Line” because it was a bit too close to “Escape”.

The tour supporting the album was filmed in England and released as a full length concert film titled, “Welcome to My Nightmare” which was played at midnight on the weekends at movie houses all over the U.S. The concert featured the entire ‘Welcome to My Nightmare’ album performed live along with his other classics intertwined throughout the performance. The stage show was incredible featuring ghouls, a giant Cyclops, and black widow spiders. The highlight of the show had to be the amazing duo guitar solos during “Devil’s Food”. The low point is Alice’s condition as he appears and sounds drunk out of his mind. Still this show is a must see for any Cooper fan.

In 1975 besides his new album and new tour, Alice filmed a full length made for TV movie titled, ‘The Nightmare’. The film was broadcast on ABC in April of ’75 and years later it was shown numerous times on USA network’s “Night Flight”. The movie is about Steven (Alice Cooper) who is visited by the spirit of the nightmare (Vincent Price). Steven is given the chance to have a wild and thrilling nightmare experience on the condition that he doesn’t try to escape. It’s kind of a neat concept but Alice is a bit too whiney in the role of Steven and at times it’s a bit embarrassing, especially when compared to his early days. Anyway, the nightmare is a bunch of music videos from every song off the ‘Welcome to My Nightmare’ album along with a video of “Ballad of Dwight Fry”. Basically the whole set from the movie along with the ghouls, the black widows, the dancing skeletons and the giant Cyclops were brought along on the tour. The movie is a bit corny but once again it’s worth checking out.

Re: Alice Cooper ~ March 2010 Band of the Month

Alice’s drinking problems were getting worse during the tour and, besides his drinking problems, at a show in Vancouver a giant toy box (which was a stage prop on the tour) tipped over on Alice, sending him head first into a security barrier. Alice had a concussion, received several stitches on his head, and also broke several ribs. Alice had toured from March ’75 – September ’75 before taking a break which led to rumors of a possible retirement. Alice did a week of dates in Lake Tahoe, NV, during December of ’75, even though the tour was over.

In March 1976 Alice entered the studio to record his next album ‘Alice Cooper Goes to Hell’ which was originally title…’Hell’




Alice Cooper Goes to Hell

Released: 1976
Label: Warner Brothers
Song Titles: Go to Hell/You Gotta Dance/I’m the Coolest/ Didn’t We Meet/ I Never Cry/ Give the Kid a Break/Guilty/Wake Me Gently/Wish You were Here/I’m Always Chasing Rainbows/Going Home

The key to this album is the year which was 1976 & the biggest craze sweeping the nation was…”DISCO”! The concept of the album is that Alice goes to hell to battle Satan & if the tour that was to coincide with the album hadn’t been cancelled then Hell was going to be one big disco(back then many hardcore rock fans looked at disco as Hell). On the previous album Alice had to escape from his nightmare & this time his goal was to escape from Hell where he is condemned to disco dance for eternity. The only way to escape was for him to sing a pretty song to defeat the devil. The song he chooses is “I’m Always Chasing Rainbows” from 1918 which was later made famous by Judy Garland.

The band was known as the Hollywood Vampires & once again Dick Wagner & Steve Hunter were the leaders mixed with a rhythm section consisting of Allan Schwartzberg on drums & Tony Levin on bass. The title track opens the album & the song is still a regular concert staple to this day. I actually prefer any live recordings of the song because on this studio version Alice’s voice is buried in a chorus of others. The song has humorous but twisted content as Alice sings of gift wrapping a ***** for his aunt & force feeding a diabetic a candy cane. There is a triple guitar onslaught featuring Wagner, Hunter, & John Tropea which actually saves the song. “You Gotta Dance” is actually a cool sounding dance number with the highlight being the sound of Schwartzberg’s drums wrapped around the cool style vocals by Alice. Speaking of cool…up next is “I’m the Coolest” which is sung by the devil who was originally to be played by “the Fonz” Henry Winkler who was officially asked to play the part by the Cooper camp. Winkler ended up turning down the part because he felt it would hurt his image of the Fonz. “Didn’t We Meet” originally had different lyrics & was titled “Satan’s Floor”. The song starts out very mellow & has Alice recalling seeing the devil’s face somewhere else back in time. At about the 2:25 mark in the song the band shifts into high gear with some machine gun power chords which really save the song. “I Never Cry” was the ballad single from the album & it is a beautiful piece of music proving that Alice is more than capable of singing in this style. “Give the Kid a Break” is a ‘50’s doo-wop style song that has Alice negotiating with Satan. “Guilty” is one of the more popular rockers from Alice post original band era of the 1970’s along with “Cold Ethyl”. The band & Alice shift into overdrive on this fast paced rocker. “Wake Me Gently” along with “I’m Always Chasing Rainbows” & “Going Home” fit in with the whole concept of the album but those are three songs I never play unless I’m laying back relaxing listening to the entire album.In the middle of those three skip over tunes is my favorite tune from the album “Wish You Were Here” which starts off with some funky sounding guitars & it is by far the best song musically from the record especially around the 3:00 mark during the instrumental section of the song which will kick your ass. Overall not a bad record but it’s a far cry from those early 70’s albums by the original band.

Re: Alice Cooper ~ March 2010 Band of the Month

…Ah, The original band…Michael Bruce released his debut album as a solo artist ‘In My Own Way’ in 1975 on Polydor Records & it was a decent album but it went no where fast & was soon out of print. The album showed off Bruce’s songwriting skills which could be compared to Badfinger. Bruce does a decent cover of the Easybeats 60’s psychedelic hit “Friday on My Mind” & other standout tracks worth checking out are the title track, “Lucky Break”, & “As Rock Rolls On”. “As Rock Rolls On” is the best track from the album & it features Alice Cooper on backing vocals.







Neal Smith completed a solo album titled ‘Platinum God’ but he was unable to find a record company interested so it remained on the shelves until 1999 when he released it independently. The album featured mostly rockers & the album featured Dennis Dunaway on Bass, Mike Marconi on lead guitar, & Neal on drums & vocals. “Maneater Deadly to her Prey” is a very heavy tune full of distorted guitars. “Everyday is a Holiday” is a glam heavy tune with more stinging guitars while “French Quarter Cookin’” is a blues rocker featuring some rockin’ harmonica. The best song on the album is “Rock n Roll Radio” & had this tune made it to an Alice Cooper album it definitely had potential of being a hit.The main problem with the album besides the horrible 8 minute title track is Neal’s vocals which sounds like a bad mix of Ted Nugent & Alice Cooper.

Neal’s vision was to find a steady lead guitarist & tour as a trio with Dunaway but instead Smith & Dunaway ended up hooking up with Michael Bruce & the three formed the nucleus of a new band called…Billion Dollar Babies & added Mike Marconi & keyboardist Bobby Dolin who toured in 1973/74 with Alice Cooper. To complete the line-up. The band was signed to Polydor Records & released their debut album in 1977 almost simultaneously to the release of Alice Cooper’s ‘Lace & Whiskey’ album. I don’t know if ‘Battle Axe’ was rushed to the shelves to compete with ‘Lace & Whiskey’ but the first shipment of ‘Battle Axe’ was defective & had to be pulled from the shelves. The band brought in Jack Douglas to remix the album to fix the defect problem. The other main problem was that the band was set up for a huge tour with a wild stage show including a special stage they had built for tour but with no records on the shelves the promoters began pulling out thus the tour was cancelled. By the time the remix was completed interest in the band had declined & touring around with the huge stage & all of the special effects & costumes now would be a financial disaster for the band so they only played a few scaled back shows & Billion Dollar Babies soon dissolved. The album & stage show concept was to take place in the future with a “Rollerball” type event. It’s a shame because ‘Battle Axe’ was a good album which received good reviews in both Rolling Stone & Circus Magazine. I really feel if this was an Alice Cooper album it would’ve fared well on the charts. The songs were all good songs but they definitely could’ve used a touch of Alice Cooper in the songwriting department & could’ve used Alice’s vocals. There are some great rockers throughout the record including “Rock n Roll Radio” from Smith’s ‘Platinum God’ sessions which has the feel of Blue Oyster Cult from their ‘Spectres’ era, “I Miss You”, ”Too Young”, & “Love is Rather Blind”.

The last 4 tracks “Ego Mania”, “Battle Axe”, “Sudden Death”, & “Winner” are what the stage show was going to evolve around & the ending was going to feature a battle between Michael Bruce & Mike Marconi who would be wearing futuristic costumes. Their live show also featured a medley of Alice Cooper tunes: “Hello Hurray”, “No More Mr. Niceguy”, “Elected”, “I’m Eighteen”, & “School’s Out”. Of course, the show would end with “Billion Dollar Babies”.

Re: Alice Cooper ~ March 2010 Band of the Month

Alice was beginning to lose his battle with alcoholism but he did enter the studio to record his next album once again with Bob Ezrin, Dick Wagner, & Steve Hunter at his side. The only thing Alice recalls from the sessions is that he had a fun time recording it. Alice’s new project was titled ‘Lace & Whiskey’ & the coinciding tour that followed would be named after one of the songs on the album “King of the Silver Screen”



Lace & Whiskey

Released: 1977
Label: Warner Brothers
Song Titles: It’s Hot Tonight/Lace & Whiskey/Road Rats/Damned if You Do/ You & Me/ King of the Silver Screen/Ubangi Stomp/ No More Love at Your Convenience/ I Never Wrote Those Songs/ My God

“My name is detective Maurice Escargot, and you’re all…CHICKEN!” was what I had heard as I was fighting to stay awake while watching the Tonight Show in 1977. I had read that Alice Cooper was going to be on & although I wasn’t familiar with him or his music I was curious to see what he was all about. All of a sudden a bunch of dancing Chickens with machine guns appeared on the stage & Alice was dressed straight out of the 40’s with a grey suit & grey hat toting a machine gun of his own. It was so corny that the music (which was Lace & Whiskey” didn’t even matter. This was Alice Cooper?? A few months later with the release of ‘The Alice Cooper Show’ I would be won over with the guitars on “I’m Eighteen”.

Anyway, I used to look at ‘Lace & Whiskey’ as Alice’s weakest effort mainly for the last 3 tunes (“No More Love At Your Convenience” which was Alice’s attempt at a disco single that just didn’t work, “I Never Wrote Those Songs”, & “My God” both tunes seem to hit on Alice’s personal struggles) but now I do enjoy the album which is saved by 3 songs: “It’s Hot Tonight” has a cool riff running through it that sticks in your head & Alice’s vocals are also cool sounding which they are throughout the album, “Lace & Whiskey”, & the anthem of all roadies “Road Rats” which is a heavy rocker that is a tribute to the hardworking team that set’s up the concert stage & band equipment. “Damned if You Do” is a decent 70’s rocker in the same vein as Leo Sayer’s mid 70’s hit “Long Tall Glasses”. “You & Me” is probably my favorite of the 4 or 5 ballads Coop released in the 70’s as it really hits home with the hardworking families who know they’ll never be stars & are just happy being with each other. “King of the Silver Screen” is another cool tune with kind of a comedic horror movie riff going through it as Alice sings about being a construction worker fantasizing about being a Hollywood movie star at first… which leads to a great instrumental section with some killer guitars…& then that leads to the same hard worker fantasizing not about being a Hollywood Star but a Hollywood…Starlet! Yes, a Queen of the Silver Screen which kind of gets hilarious as the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” starts blaring & Alice starts yelling about eating his make-up for lunch & how he’s 240 lbs, plays center for the Detroit Lyons, & likes to wear make-up & dresses. I have no idea why but for some reason on this album Alice decided to cover Warren Smith’s rockabilly hit from 1956 “Ubangi Stomp” & he does a damn fine job with it. I always liked his version & as years went by I now have versions of that song by Foghat, Robert Gordon, & the Stray Cats.





The concept of the album is about a bumbling, alcoholic, tough guy detective from the 40’s/50’s named Maurice Escargot. Unfortunately, there are only a few songs which dealt with this concept. Alice played the part of Escargot only during “It’s Hot Tonight”/”Lace & Whiskey” on the tour. The tour was amazing as the Stage was a huge television set complete with knobs/dials & the screen would show the band at various times & even shown commercials to go with the show. Alice was also using props from the Nightmare tour & even brought back the dancing tooth & guillotine from the early days. As I said the show was amazing however the timing of the tour was bad & Alice was now looking physically terrible this is very apparent in the made for TV film ‘Alice & Friends’ (this film featured performances by Nazareth, the Tubes, & others from Anaheim Stadium). Despite his health Alice did give all he had in these shows but after 3 months of touring it was finally time for Alice to check into a rehab facility. Before he checked in he was being forced to put out a live album as soon as possible by Warner Brothers so in August he played two dates at the Alladin Hotel in Las Vegas where both shows were recorded & select cuts were put together for ‘The Alice Cooper Show’


The Alice Cooper Show

Released: 1977
Label: Warner Brothers Records
Song Titles: Under My Wheels/I’m Eighteen/Only Women Bleed/Sick Things/ Is It My Body/ I Never Cry/ Billion Dollar Babies/ Devil’s Food/ The Black Widow/ You & Me/ I Love the Dead/ Go To Hell/Wish You Were Here/ School’s Out

This was the album that made me an Alice Cooper fan & I really think the album is fantastic but Alice will be the first to tell you that his heart wasn’t in this project at all. Although Cooper may not have had the energy for this record the band (featuring Wagner, Hunter, Prakish John, Whitey Glan, & keyboardist Freddie Mandel) definitely made up for any lack of energy by Alice. The album kicks off with a telephone ringing as the band launches into “Under My Wheels” which rocks the house. The guitar solo exchange between Hunter & Wagner on “I’m Eighteen” is unbelievable & for me it still ranks up there as one of my favorite all-time live songs by any artist. “Only Women Bleed” brings down the pace a bit early but a short medley of “Sick Things” & “Is it my Body” picks things up momentarily only to be brought back down again with “I Never Cry” to close out side one which is not a bad thing by any means as Alice does a fine job on the ballad. Side two begins with the familiar drum beat of the classic “Billion Dollar Babies” & the band rocks out to it. Up next is “Devils Food”/”The Black Widow” which is explosive & Alice’s snarly vocals sound great on this one. “You & Me” sounds great in this 2 minute version which once again Alice does a fine job with. Another medley follows featuring “I Love the Dead” where if you listen close you can hear the guillotine snap down on Alice’s waiting neck, Go To Hell(which vocally is much better than the studio version), & a stinging instrumental of “Wish You Were Here”. The album closes with the classic anthem from 1972 “School’s Out” which only lasts a little over 2 minutes. As I said I do love this record but what’s worth searching for is a live King Biscuit Flour Hour Radio show of Alice live from Saginaw, MI which is an even better recording of Alice live from this era.

Re: Alice Cooper ~ March 2010 Band of the Month

As I mentioned Alice had checked into rehab in the later part of 1977 as his drinking was out of control. He claimed he may have been alright if he had stuck to beer but by ‘76/’77 he was also drinking 2 quarts of whiskey a day. Instead of drinking onstage he was drinking to get himself onstage & with out alcohol in his system he would get bad cases of the shakes. Soon things were getting so bad that he was vomiting blood. His doctor had told him that onstage no matter what they do to him whether it’s by hanging or the guillotine by the end of the show he always beats death & now in real life he needs to beat or escape death. He checked in to a rehab facility but according to Alice he drank 2 bottles of whiskey on his way to the hospital & couldn’t even see by the time he got there. He almost couldn’t take & tried to check himself out at least 5 times. He even got to the point of trying to steal keys to break out. Alice was eventually granted to leave to record his part in the Sgt. Pepper Movie which he sang “Because”. Alice knew he was a public figure & felt he should keep this all in the public’s eye so he began writing his tales about his stay with the help of his friend Bernie Taupin of Elton John fame. Soon an album was to come out of his stay in rehab where he took parts of the different patients problems & wrote songs about them. Alice named the new record ‘From the Inside’.



From the Inside

Released: 1978
Label: Warner Brothers Records
Song Titles: From the Inside/ Wish I Were Born in Beverly Hills/The Quiet Room/ Nurse Rozetta/ Millie & Billie/ Serious/ How You Gonna See Me Now/ Veronica’s Sake/ Jacknife Johnny/ Inmates (We’re All Crazy)


‘From the Inside’ is a great concept & a great album. Alice had spent most of his career writing about fictional album characters but this time around everything was a reality. He worked once again with Dick Wagner who co wrote 7 of the 10 songs along with Alice & Taupin. The single which was released from the album was “How You Gonna See Me Now” which was a ballad that the entire album was going to circle around. Upon coming home from the hospital it was going to be the first time his wife Sheryl was going to see him sober & he didn’t know what to expect so that is what the song & album was all about. The 45 of the song featured a song called “No Tricks” on the flipside which featured incredible vocals by Betty Wright who sang a duet with Alice. “No Tricks” wasn’t on the album but it does appear on the box set & is worth checking out.

The album’s first track is the title track of the album & it’s a great tune which is a bit progressive with a funky beat & bass line. The song is all about Alice’s downward spiral & in concert on the wild Madhouse of Rock Tour Alice is tormented by huge dancing bottles of Scotch, Tequila, & vodka. “I Wish I was Born in Beverly Hills” is an awesome rocker that Alice has recently brought back to his live shows. The song is about a girl who has everything including a tennis pro boyfriend, a Black Corniche, Gucci Tennis Shoes…etc but even though she has all that she’s still fragile & that’s why she’s in there. “The Quiet Room” starts out mellow but it kicks in & it deals with the padded cell which could be someplace people would fear or it could be the complete opposite as some kind of room to escape from everything. “Nurse Rozetta” is one of those fun kind of songs with humorous lyrics. It’s about a preacher who just can’t stop thinking about a nurse in inappropriate ways as Alice sings “I’m suddenly twice my size!...My Pants are all wet inside!!”. “Millie & Billie” is a cute little acoustic ditty about a girl & guy who fall in love but they had to kill her husband & the lyrics get pretty graphic by the end. Side Two begins with a familiar guitar sound of Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielson as he rips through a fast paced rocker about a gambling addiction called “Serious” which is followed by the hit “How You Gonna See Me Now”. “For Veronica’s Sake” is an okay tune about a guy who needs to escape in order to save his pet dog but it’s probably the most forgettable tune off the album. “Jacknife Johnny” is an explosive tune about a Vietnam Vet who can lose it at any time. The album closes with another explosive tune called “Inmates” where the music builds up like a Horror Flick score as we learn about someone setting a church on fire while a mass is going on & someone causing a train derailment among other psychotic things ending with a chorus of these psychos singing “We’re All Crazy” repeatedly over & over.

The album cover featured a full cover shot of Alice’s face which was actually 2 doors that when pulled open the gatefold showed the whole cast of characters inside a rehab facility & if you opened a door to the quiet room, there sat Alice on a mattress. If you opened the doors on the back cover it shows Alice leading out his cast of characters who are all holding up Released papers.


Upon his release Alice appeared on an episode of the Muppet Show where he sang “Welcome To My Nightmare”, “You & Me”, & “School’s Out”. His Madhouse Rock Tour went over well featuring a stage that was set up like a hospital & the musicians were all dressed in scrubs. A show in San Diego was filmed & released to Television networks as ‘The Strange Case of Alice Cooper’ & this show is worth searching for as it’s a full length show which featured Steve Hunter & Davey Johnstone(Elton John) on guitars, Fred Mandel on keyboards, Prakish John on Bass, & Whitey Glan on Drums. It’s pretty cool because it starts out with “From the Inside” & a few songs in the Doctor enters the stage which is the Cyclops(with the Voice of Vincent Price) & he asks Alice to think back when his problems started as he administers truth serum to Alice. Alice then starts cranking his old tunes which is really cool. Also around this time Alice released a comic book through Marvel Comics titled ‘From the Inside’ which was the exact story that the album told with all of the same characters

Re: Alice Cooper ~ March 2010 Band of the Month

Great stuff Bucky.

I knew a little about his battle with alcohol, but nothing like the close up your narrative describes in detail, and how it all relates to his music.

I am glad he traded in his addiction to booze for golf, and as luck would have it he is a very good golfer too. A legend in more ways than one.

Have to say I didn't really like "Lace & Whiskey" though, it just seemed below the standard of the albums preceding it. I will look around for the "King Biscuit" live concert you mentioned, I have a few of those and they are usually really good.

Re: Alice Cooper ~ March 2010 Band of the Month

LG, He does fall off the wagon one more time before giving it up for good & that will take place in the next section I write during the early 80's as he almost bit the dust that time.
Don't know if you seen it or not but Welcome to My Nightmare,Goes to Hell, & a few solo projects by the original band are on previous pages which I just put up yesterday.

I didn't care much for Lace & Whiskey that much either but being a fan I did grow to like it except for those last 3 songs!!!

That King biscuit show is good it features Davey Johnstone & Dee Murray from Elton John's band

Re: Alice Cooper ~ March 2010 Band of the Month

Thanks MP great job with the photos & vids!! Me Alice was probably the only book about Alice I haven't read as it's been out of print forever. 'Billion Dollar Baby' by Bob Greene was a great book on the '73/'74 tour
