Alice
Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier; February 4, 1948) is an American
rock singer, songwriter, and musician whose career spans more than four
decades. With a stage show that features guillotines, electric chairs,
fake blood, boa constrictors, and baby dolls, Cooper has drawn equally
from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock to pioneer a grandly
theatrical and violent brand of heavy metal designed to shock.
Originating
in Detroit in the late 1960s, Alice Cooper was originally a band
consisting of Furnier on vocals and harmonica, lead guitarist Glen
Buxton, Michael Bruce on rhythm guitar, Dennis Dunaway on bass guitar,
and drummer Neal Smith. The original Alice Cooper band broke into the
international music mainstream with the 1971 hit "I'm Eighteen" from the
album Love It to Death, which was followed by the even bigger single
"School's Out" in 1972. The band reached their commercial peak with the
1973 album Billion Dollar Babies.
Furnier's solo career as Alice
Cooper, adopting the band's name as his own name, began with the 1975
concept album Welcome to My Nightmare; in 2011 he released Welcome 2 My
Nightmare, his 19th album as a solo artist, and his 26th album in total.
Expanding from his Detroit rock roots, in his career Cooper has
experimented with a number of musical styles, including conceptual rock,
art rock, hard rock, New Wave, pop rock, experimental rock and
industrial rock.
Alice Cooper is known for his social and witty
persona offstage; The Rolling Stone Album Guide has called him the
world's most "beloved heavy metal entertainer". Cooper is credited with
helping to shape the sound and look of heavy metal, and he is regarded
as being the artist who "first introduced horror imagery to rock'n'roll,
and whose stagecraft and showmanship have permanently transformed the
genre". Away from music, Cooper is a film actor, a golfing celebrity, a
restaurateur and, since 2004, a popular radio DJ with his classic rock
show Nights with Alice Cooper.
In 2011 the original Alice Cooper band was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
