Alice Cooper (Official Thread)

[Tek_54]

I know he has a lot of awsome songs, but for me... Poison is the best

i don't know if anyone has posted this yet or not, but this is an alternate version of one of my top 5 Alice Cooper songs of all time.

I've always loved this cut, but I have always wished it was longer. At 2:25, it was always over so quickly.

Well, no more! I found this over 5 minute version, with a second verse, some well placed, sparse & stark, single note lead guitar, and a quick visit from The Coop's Godfather, Vincent Price.

JACKPOT!

I hope you enjoy this as much as I know I will!




I also wanted to share this cut from his From The Inside album. It's a particularly poignant song about a Viet Nam veteran who, for whatever reason, is in the same institution Coop was in back when he was getting clean.


*EDIT*

I guess it would help listening to the song if I actually posted it, eh?

There are some good rarities on The Life and Crimes of Alice Cooper. The problem is they combined it with a 'best of', so you have to buy four cds, when you only want two cds of rarities.

 

[E-Z]

Yeah i've got it BIG EARS and it's a pretty good box-set.

Been listening to the early 80s albums a bit lately FLUSH THE FASHION, SPECIAL FORCES & ZIPPER CATCHES SKIN which are all solid rock albums in my opinion.

Favourite Alice Cooper album has gotta be BILLION DOLLAR BABIES.

 

[Big Ears]

I love Billion Dollar Babies, especially the version with an extra cd of live tracks. I've never heard the eighties albums.

 

[E-Z]

Yeah your talking about the deluxe-version of BILLION DOLLAR BABIES x2 cds on Warner Bros, yeah it's a nice offering without a doubt.

The early 1980s albums are good solid albums in my opinion but i have read that Alice dosen't recall making the albums ZIPPER CATCHES SKIN and DA DA believe it or not??.

If i've got that wrong then probably a Alice Cooper fan will correct me?.

He claims to have been a functioning alcoholic, for example he never turned up late even if he didn't know where he was.

 

[E-Z]

Yeah i can believe him being a "functioning alcoholic" back in the day, i like that picture of Alice in the book in the LIFE AND CRIMES x4cd box-set of him crashed out laying on top of a hotel bed surrounded by about 500 empty whiskey bottles!!.

 

[METALPRIEST]

Yeah that's a funny pic.... Although, I believe the photo was staged even though the problem itself was real

Also....there were many videos and links not working or showing up. Thread is all fixed up for everyone's enjoyment.
