Velkommen til oliekriseåret 1973, hvor Richard Nixon indtager det Hvide Hus, og Alice Cooper hærger de amerikanske koncertscener og hitlister med chok, rock og horror. Herhjemme betyder oliekrisen bilfrie søndage, og i stedet kommer støjen fra bands som Slade og "Cum On Feel The Noise", Nazareth og Black Sabbath, som endda komponerer blandt genfærd, mens danske Midnight Sun sætter "Kul På". Så, tag med os tilbage til heavyåret '73, der nok var fattig på olie, men ikke på tung rockenergi! Som altid er vi i selskab med studievært Jens "Jam" Rasmussen og vores formidable gæste duo, Steffen Jungersen og Michael Stützer Hansen. Nedslagspunkter: - Alice Cooper går til tops med "Billion Dollar Babies", mens bandet imploderer indefra. - De fire new yorkere i Wicked Lester inspireres stort af Alice Cooper og bliver til... KISS. - Aerosmith debuterer, de transvestit klædte The New York Dolls lancerer deres præ-punk/glam og Iggy & The Stooges udviser frenetisk rå kraft. - Det amerikanske band Grand Funk hylder den søde, søde Connie, mens texanske ZZ Tops' hyldest til øldrikkerne inspirerer Lemmy i England. - Looooovende lyde på den nye britiske rockscene: Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest og Queen. - T-Rex hitter fortsat, og inspirerer blandt andre de senere Def Leppard- medlemmer i Sheffield. - Glad rock'n'roll til en krisetid fra Slade, Nazareth og Geordie med en ung Brian Johnson i front, syv år før AC/DC. - Led Zeppelin på amerikansk monsterturné og en musikalsk tur rundt i både funk, pop og reggae. - Uriah Heep.sanger David Byron med nok en solid blåkopi til den senere King Diamond. - Hollandske Golden Earrings "Radar Love" hitter hos både Kim Bendix Petersen og Michael Trampenau. - I KB Hallen er Lars Ulrich til sin første Deep Purple-koncert, og dagen efter køber han sin første heavy rock plade. - Black Sabbath indlogerer sig på et 1700-tals slot, hvor den gamle slotsherre optråder som genfærd, og hvor bandet vender tilbage til den tunge, okkulte stemning på "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath". - Lars Ulrich får "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" i julegave, og hører "Kul På" med Midnight Sun. Hav en fornøjelig tur tilbage til 1973, og på snarligt genhør i det næste afsnit fra 1974, som udsendes om 14 dage! Idé, tilrettelæggelse og research: Jens "Jam" Rasmussen Produktion: Jan Eriksen

Without a doubt, he's one of the most fascinating artists on the rock timeline. In fact, Alice Cooper has done such an incredible job of making sure that rock has an enduring spectacle element to it, of being kind of the embodiment of the freaky side of rock, that it's hard to imagine that there wasn't ever an Alice Cooper on stage somewhere, snakes, guillotines, electric chairs and all. But of course there was, and it took a while for Alice Cooper's brand of entertainment to catch hold. When the Billion Dollar Babies album was released in 1973, Alice Cooper topped the charts, the world finally catching up with the idea that glam rock could be the vehicle for a brutal caricature, a theatrical madman, an entertainer who has also come to be known as one of the nicest guys in rock. So it's funny that one of the hits on that album is about not playing nice anymore in favor of letting one's freak flag fly.

This week we offer up the 12th installment of our series called, “Degrees Of Separation…” where we discuss side projects and solo releases from artists we love. We are celebrating the adjacencies to a true rock n' roll icon: ALICE COOPER. Not much to say about the man, the myth, the legend. Capn'n Content suggested that we focus our listening to the gunslinger guitarists that have supported the Coop throughout his long career. So, that's what we are doing! Enjoy.New to InObscuria? It's all about digging up obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal from one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. While we may be talking about an artist that many of you know in this episode, perhaps you are not aware of the depth of the side projects that the guitarists who've supported him over his 50+ years have. Our hope is that we turn you on to something new!Songs this week include:Hollywood Vampires - “The Boogieman Surprise” from Rise (2019)Billion Dollar Babies - “Too Young” from Battle Axe (1977)Electric Angels - “Dangerous Drug” from Electric Angels (1990)Lou Reed - “Vicious” from Lou Reed Live (1975)Kane Roberts - “Rock Doll” from Kane Robers (1987)Tokyo Police Club - “Little Sister (feat.

In 1983 America was overwhelmed by a disaster, the likes of which it had never seen before. Hysteria led to riots; mayhem became the norm. And the reason? Chubby, potato faced toys: the Cabbage Patch Kids. In this episode of Factual America, Matthew Sherwood meets Dan Goodman, co-executive producer of Billion Dollar Babies, a documentary about the rise and rise of the awkward looking but homely and utterly desirable Cabbage Patch Kids.  They discuss the origin of the Cabbage Patch Kids' success, which can be traced back to the Post-Depression era but also owes a great deal to the improving economy of the early ‘80s and the increasing availability of credit.  But none of that would have mattered had the Cabbage Patch Kids not had that certain something that made them so special. Despite being mass produced, improved manufacturing techniques gave each doll a seemingly unique appearance. Each one could be ‘adopted'. And, most simply, they looked cute: cute enough to go through hell and high water at the local shopping mall for. Dan shares how he managed to get the man behind the dolls' success, Xavier Roberts, onto the doc, while he and Matthew also discuss the roles played in the film by legendary news anchor Connie Chung, and actor Neil Patrick Harris. The Cabbage Patch Kids represent 80s excess at its best or worst, depending on your point-of-view. Step back in time to enjoy the good, the bad, and the immensely cute of it all with Matthew and Dan! Watch the episode at https://factualamerica.com “You think about these Cabbage Patch Kid riots... and it's not like we looked at that and thought, ‘Boy, that was a terrible idea!'... Instead, we go the opposite direction... and that's where we got to this Black Friday mentality.” – Dan Goodman

Doll hospitals, cabbage "births," a four-year legal battle over the origin of the idea and a BILLION-dollar toy brand that put the wheels of modern-day Black Friday shopping riots into motion. This is the unbelievable true story you never knew about the toy craze that started it all, the Cabbage Patch Kids. Narrated and executive produced by Emmy- and Tony Award-winning actor Neil Patrick Harris Featuring interviews with Cabbage Patch Kids' creator Xavier Roberts, journalist Connie Chung, and former Coleco marketing head Al Kahan Before the Cabbage Patch Kids, no one could have imagined a world where police would need to break up fights between rampaging adults in toy stores. But after the Cabbage Patch Kids, every manufacturer in the world was desperate for their own "riot-worthy" toy. Everything had changed, and we were never going back. Billion Dollar Babies: The True Story of the Cabbage Patch Kids is the evolution of that change, told through the lens of what is arguably the most beloved toy of the 1980s. It's one filled with doll hospitals with delightfully attentive staff tending to every need of the "babies" birthed from a cabbage patch before their adoptions, dangerous counterfeit dolls and intense U.S. Customs raids, inevitable black-market sales, a glut of spin-off products, severe doll shortages and a rabid media frenzy that gave rise to a BILLION-dollar toy brand unlike anything the world had ever seen. Oh, and did we mention the "custody battle" over the origin of the idea? An unassuming and relatively unknown artist from rural Kentucky filed suit claiming she was the true creator of the dolls, setting off a contentious four-year legal battle over the Kids. This is the story you never knew about the dolls that stole America's heart and turned us all into total maniacs.

Mike and Alex are back to bask in the glory of 10-man West Ham crushing Chelsea in the Premier League 3-1! How did our new signings play? What's next for West Ham this transfer window and more. Plus, how did the New York Giants look in their 2nd pre-season game?

The week before Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon reached #1 in the United States, this album was number one, and it's hard to imagine these two albums coming into the world at the same time, and yet they did and we're all the better for it! Theatrical, cinematic and utterly demented, welcome to the nightmarish world of Alice Cooper & his “Billion Dollar Babies”!

Neal Smith, drummer/percussionist, songwriter and founding member of one of the most successful rock and roll acts to be seen and heard in the world: The Shock Rock Group Alice Cooper. The first band to introduce theatrics to the rock and roll stage, the Band has sold over 25 million records worldwide. Neal has six gold and five platinum records to his credit. Neal has performed before millions on extensive grand World Tours.

And so to an episode in which Richard, Steve and Mark were tasked with marking important life moments. Mark and Steve opted for a broadly similar seam to mine - that of parenthood. Rich, on the other hand, eschewed the opportunity to reflect on bringing new life into the world, or discovering love for the first time. He spat in the face of death and pooh-poohed the notions of age, friends and work. No, it seems that Richard's most notable moment in life is, in fact, stowing a lilo under his arm and heading off to the Mediterranean. And so it came to be that the lads ended up spending a week or so in the company of Alice Cooper, Mother Love Bone and Marillion. Steve kicks off the show with a look back at Alice Cooper (the band, not the man - he was just common-or-garden Vince Furnier at the time of this particular release) and their much-admired Billion Dollar Babies from 1973. Over 30 minutes or so the Sadmen try to come to a definitive answer to a simple question: Is it really that good? Next up is Mother Love Bone, a one-album sensation (thanks to yet another rock and roll overdose that robbed the world of a young talent) that ultimately gave us the behemoth that is Pearl Jam, and their sole 1991 release Apple. Meanwhile, over in Ibiza, Richard was whacking up the volume on the Steve Hogarth version of Marillion, who were vacationing in paradise in 1992 with Holidays In Eden. As the show rolls past album 200 in the big list, would these three manage to elbow their way into its upper echelons?

Han upplever sin tredje konsert i Sverige och det var rockbandet Kiss, han upptäckte Kiss tack vare att det var Bob Ezrin som producerade albumet Destroyer.

ElectraCast Media is pleased to bring you interviews with lead cast members from The Last Saturday Night courtesy of the Too Opinionated podcast with host Mike Wall. The sultry, versatile, petite (5' 4") beauty Sherilyn Fenn was born Sheryl Ann Fenn in Detroit, Michigan, into a family of musicians. The youngest of three children, her mother, Arlene Quatro, played keyboard in rock bands, her aunt is rock-star Suzi Quatro, and her grandfather, Art Quatro, was a jazz musician. Her father, Leo Fenn, was the manager of such bands as The Pleasure Seekers (the all-girl band formed by the Quatro sisters), Alice Cooper, and The Billion Dollar Babies. Fenn began her career with a number of B-movies including The Wild Life (alongside Chris Penn), skater film Thrashin' (opposite Josh Brolin) and teen-fantasy movie The Wraith (opposite Charlie Sheen). She had a memorable part in the cult teen-comedy Just One of the Guys in which she tries to seduce a teenage girl disguised as a boy, played by Joyce Hyser. Fenn landed her first starring role, as an engaged heiress to an old Southern family experiencing her sexual awakening in Zalman King's erotic drama film Two Moon Junction, after which she said she wanted to hide for a year. Fenn won her most outstanding role and made an indelible impression on the public when she was cast by David Lynch and Mark Frost as the tantalizing Audrey Horne, the high-school femme fatale from the critically acclaimed TV series Twin Peaks. The series ran from 1990 to 1991, and the character of Audrey was one of the most popular with fans, in particular for her unrequited love for FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (played by Kyle MacLachlan) and her style from the '50s (with her saddle shoes, plaid skirts and tight sweaters). Sherilyn made a memorable impression as the cherry stem-twisting siren. Sherilyn is the lead actress for the hit new audio drama, The Last Saturday Night. She is also known for her roles on Twin Peaks, Of Mice and Men, Boxing Helena, Cave Dweller, SWAT, Goliath, Titans, The Magicians, and Shining Vale.  Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe) Check out the Website: Meisterkhan.com Based on true stories, The Last Saturday Night scripted podcast follows a diverse cast of characters who use humor, delivery apps, booze, weed and Zoom meetings to cope with their new reality.

RockerMike and Rob discuss Billion Dollar Babies is the sixth studio album by American rock band Alice Cooper, released on February 25, 1973 by Warner Bros. Records.The album became the best selling Alice Cooper record at the time of its release, hit number one on the album charts in both the United States and the United Kingdom, and went on to be certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album has been retrospectively praised by such critics as Robert Christgau, Greg Prato of AllMusic, and Jason Thompson of PopMatters, but The Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004) gave the album only two and a half stars. Songs were recorded in both the state of Connecticut and London, England. Lyrics cover topics and themes such as necrophilia, dental fear, horror, and sexual harassment. At 40 minutes and 51 seconds, it is the longest studio album the band has ever released; this does not count any of Cooper's solo albums. https://alicecooper.com/ https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-scandalous-story-of-alice-coopers-billion-dollar-babies https://m.facebook.com/ https://nightswithalicecooper.com/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/3EhbVgyfGd7HkpsagwL9GS https://mobile.twitter.com/alicecooper https://www.instagram.com/alicecooper/?hl=en https://music.apple.com/us/artist/alice-cooper/393703 Park Dental Care 12419 101st Ave South Richmond Hill Queens (718) 847-3800 https://www.718DENTISTS.com https://lynyrdskynyrd.com/ https://m.facebook.com/LynyrdSkynyrd https://open.spotify.com/artist/4MVyzYMgTwdP7Z49wAZHx0 https://www.rockhall.com/inductees/lynyrd-skynyrd https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/remembering-lynyrd-skynyrds-deadly-1977-plane-crash-2-195371/amp/ https://mobile.twitter.com/skynyrd?lang=en https://www.instagram.com/skynyrd/?hl=en #musicvideo #musicstudio #musiclover #musiclife #musicindustry #musiclovers #musiccover #musician#Alicecooper #musicproducer #musicproduction #musicians #musicislife #musicartist #musicphotography #musicvideos #Music #drummer #Guitar @drummers @spotify @twitter @Alicecooper #grammy @grammy @AlicecooperBilliondollarbabies #Billiondollarbabies @Billiondollarbabies Please follow us on Youtube,Facebook,Instagram,Twitter,Patreon and at www.gettinglumpedup.com https://linktr.ee/RobRossi Get your T-shirt at https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/gettinglumpedup And https://www.bonfire.com/store/getting-lumped-up/ https://app.hashtag.expert/?fpr=roberto-rossi80 https://dc2bfnt-peyeewd4slt50d2x1b.hop.clickbank.net Subscribe to the channel and hit the like button This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-lumped-up-with-rob-rossi/id1448899708 https://open.spotify.com/show/00ZWLZaYqQlJji1QSoEz7a https://www.patreon.com/Gettinglumpedup --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support

Alice Cooper - a story of intrigue, drugs and great stage shows.  While influencing The Sex Pistols, Kiss, Bowie, the movie, “A Clockwork Orange” and Australia's Jimmy and the Boys, Alice Cooper changed from a band to an individual, and left an enormous legacy in today's rock world. This week's “Before You Die” album is Marc Bolan's “Electric Warrior”, which didn't impress the boys at all, despite Bolan's reputation, some great singles and production by Tony Visconti.  References:  1001 Album s You Must Hear before You Die, Robert Dimery, Vincent Damon Furnier, The Earwigs, The Spiders, The Naz, Todd Rundgren, Frank Zappa, School's Out, Billion Dollar Babies, Glenn Buxton, Steve Hunter & Dick Wagner, alcohol and crack cocaine addiction, Shep Gordon, Bob Ezrin, Welcome to My Nightmare, I'm Eighteen, Under My Wheels, Bowie's “Suffragette City”, No More Mr. Nice Guy, Only Women Bleed, Department of Youth, Alice Cooper Goes to Hell, I Never Cry, From the Inside, How You Gonna See Me Now, Stage Props of Live snakes, guillotines, and “dead babies”, Live at Sydney, Pennywise the Clown, Gene Simmons' “Demon” character, Twisted Sister, Malcolm McDowell, Baby's on Fire Alice Cooper Playlist

I den elfte timmen sätter sig B.L. och Heidenhammer runt elden tillsammans med Christian Strandell för att tala om skiva Battle Axe med bandet Billion Dollar Babies - det band där i huvudsak resterande medlemmar ifrån bandet Alice Cooper tog saken vidare då det blev uppenbart att Alice själv inte tänkte återvända. Gossarna passar även på att nämna nämna några rader om Michael Bruce - My Own Way och Neal Smith - Platinum God. Låt stå!

Bob Ezrin hefur verið maðurinn á bak við tjöldin við upptökur margra sígildra platna, þar á meðal og bara svo við nefnum eitthvað þá sat hann við mixerinn og stýrði REC takkanum þegar plöturnar „Billion Dollar Babies“ með Alice Cooper, „The Wall“ með Pink Floyd og auðvitað „Destroyer“ með KISS voru hljóðritaðar. Ferill hans er ótrúlega fjölbreyttur og spannar allt frá Andrea Bocelli til Deftones, í gegnum Deep Purple, Peter Gabriel, Rod Stewart og Lou Reed svo eitthvað sé nefnt. Þá er Ezrin mikill mannvinur og hefur beitt sér mikið í gegnum tíðina fyrir ýmislegu góðgerðastarfi víðs vegar um heiminn. Bob Ezrin heitir fullu nafni Robert Allan Ezrin og fæddist í Toronto, Kanada þann 25.mars 1949, hann er því nokkuð nýorðinn 73 ára og því ætlum við að fagna hér. Hins vegar spannar hinn fjölbreytti ferill hans yfir 50 ár og í þessum þætti kíkjum við s.s aðeins á það sem hann hefur brallað í gegnum árin og af nógu er að taka þar.

Back in the legends lounge today., Joining me for my latest chat is the original Alice Cooper drummer Neal Smith. Founding member Neal was in the band from 1967 - 1974 playing on and co writing some of the biggest rock hits ever known including Schools out, Billion Dollar Babies, No More Mr Nice Guy, Under My Wheels..... the list goes on and on. Neals amazing technique has influenced so many drummers from around the world including my good friend Robb Reiner from Anvil who kindly provided me with a great question for Neal. We had a really great chat and covered so much in a short time, it was a total pleasure chatting to this Legend!! Please Subscribe to our Channel & Dont miss any of our upcoming interviews!

On this latest episode of The Broken Record Player Podcast, I am joined once again by the host of the Metal From the Inside podcast, Sydney Taylor! Sydney sits down with me to discuss an iconic album from her favorite artist of all time, Alice Cooper! In fact, on her podcast Metal From the Inside, Sydney recently sat down with Alice Cooper and interviewed him. Make sure you check that interview out because it's really fascinating, and Alice is on point as always. Billion Dollar Babies was the biggest, most epic, and most successful album the Alice Cooper band released up to that point. Featuring hit songs like “No More Mr. Nice Guy,” ''Billion Dollar Babies,” “Elected,” and “I Love the Dead,” Billion Dollar Babies told one story after another ranging from politics to bad dental trips, from road trips gone wrong to the real life controversies created by uptight politicians and parents. At the end of the day, this album is fun, theatrical, hard rockin, and makes you feel like you're at some macabre carnival where only you, the audience, the band, and Alice, are in on the joke. 

Hello! Hooray! It's good to hear more, better Alice Copper being represented in this book! Let's talk Alice Cooper, Billion Dollar Babies!

Ian and Toomey went Live for the latest episode of Diabolus In Podcastica. Thank you to all that participated in the chat room. Alice Cooper was the topic along with our henchmen and a spirited Ask Ian segment. We also discussed Dokken, Sebastian Bach, Jericho, Zeppelin and more in the news.

Whether it was cutting off his own head on stage with a guillotine, or false rumours that he bit the head of a chicken live on stage, his theatrical shows caused a scandal in the early 1970s. Thirty albums later and with 50 million records sold, first as the Alice Cooper band and later as the solo act, he's given us classic rock anthems like "I'm Eighteen", "School's Out" and "Billion Dollar Babies". Alice Cooper speaks to Eve Jackson from his home in Arizona about his rallying anthem "Don't Give Up", shock-rocking audiences for five decades and that chicken incident.

Pod of Thunder - 330 - Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies: Chris, Nick and Andy are joined by Nick's and Andy's mom - Chris Jones to break down Alice Cooper's "Billion Dollar Babies" from 1973.

In part two of our look at bands who carried on when their famous lead singer was no longer part of the group we shine our spotlight on the Billion Dollar Babies and their 1977 album "Battle Axe". The Babies were formally the Alice Cooper Band until Alice departed in 1974.

February 1973 — “Billion Dollar Babies” by Alice Cooper Brian presents one of the biggest early 1970's glam rock groups — Alice Cooper. Their sixth studio album entitled “Billion Dollar Babies” was released in 1973, and was their most successful album to this date. Detroit native and front man Vincent Furnier took on the “Alice Cooper” persona for this highly theatrical act, complete with makeup, tuxedo, and top hat. The title of the album is a tongue in cheek look at the rise of the band itself — referring to themselves as "Billion Dollar Babies." Come along as we dig into this exceptionally entertaining and well-produced glam rock band. “Hello Hooray” This opening song was recorded earlier by Judy Collins, and the band intended it to be “Alice Cooper meets cabaret.” “Elected” This driving piece is the second single released from the album, and is a satirical look at the election process. It is a rewrite of their earlier song from 1969 entitled "Reflected." There's a surprisingly good horn section in there as well. “Billion Dollar Babies” The title track reflects their success in such a short period of time. Take a listen to this one in stereo or headphones to get the full effect. “No More Mr. Nice Guy” “No more Mr. cle-e-e-ean!” This song is the most popular track off the album. Amazingly, the shock rock front man appeared on The Muppet Show to sing this back in the day! ENTERTAINMENT TRACK: “Dueling Banjos” — from the movie “Deliverance” This Burt Reynolds movie was filmed on the Chattooga River in Georgia, and may be one of the most notable banjo riffs of all time. The movie was released in 1972 and was still popular in 1973. STAFF PICKS: “Dancing in the Moonight” by King Harvest Bruce shares this one-hit wonder sung by a Paris-based American group. It has that smooth, folk oriented sound that was quite popular back in the day. It could be an undercover werewolf song - jury's still out on that. “The Night the Lights Went out in Georgia” by Vicki Lawrence Rob’s a fan of the Carol Burnette show, and this was sung by comiedienne Vicki Lawrence. Her husband wrote the song, and when he was turned down by some famous female vocalists, Lawrence took it on, and took it to the top of the charts. “My Woman from Tokyo” by Deep Purple Wayne's rocking and riffing on this one. Although a big hit for Deep Purple, the band didn't like the song. It never actually came out as a single, and the band didn't play the song in concert until 1986. “Walk on the Wildside” by Lou Reed Brian closes out staff picks with this controversial art rock hit profiling alternate lifestyles in New York City. This is off Reed's second solo album, and the backing vocals are performed by a group called the Thunder Thighs. LAUGH TRACK: “Dead Skunk” by Loudon Wainwright III This fun song is an ode to an odor we have all experienced on a country road. “I one'd it...I two'ed it...

“It’s bigger than King Kong” Thanks to a suggestion from our listener Mick, this week Mike and Kelly discuss Battle Axe by Billion Dollar Babies.  When the original Alice Cooper group went there separate ways, three members of the band formed Billion Dollar Babies.  The concept for Battle Axe was to be the follow up for the the original group’s final collaboration, “Muscle of Love“. While there are some moments, listening to this album (and Alice’s “Goes to Hell” and “Lace and Whiskey” outings that were also released around this time) point out how amazing the original group’s mixture of … Continue reading →

Alice Cooper pioneered a grandly theatrical brand of hard rock that was designed to shock. Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood and boa constrictors. He continues to tour regularly, performing shows worldwide with the dark and horror-themed theatrics that he's best known for. With a schedule that includes six months each year on the road, Alice Cooper brings his own brand of rock psycho-drama to fans both old and new, enjoying it as much as the audience does. Known as the architect of shock-rock, Cooper (in both the original Alice Cooper band and as a solo artist) has rattled the cages and undermined the authority of generations of guardians of the status quo, continuing to surprise fans and exude danger at every turn, like a great horror movie, even in an era where CNN can present real life shocking images. Cooper was born in Detroit Michigan, and moved to Phoenix with his family. The Alice Cooper band formed while they were all in high school in Phoenix, and was discovered in 1969 by Frank Zappa in Los Angeles, where he signed them to his record label. Their collaboration with young record producer Bob Ezrin led to the break-through third album “Love It to Death” which hit the charts in 1971, followed by “Killer,” “School's Out,” ”Billion Dollar Babies,” and “Muscle of Love.” Each new album release was accompanied by a bigger and more elaborate touring stage show. 1974 saw the release of a “Greatest Hits” album, and then Cooper, in 1975, released his first solo album, “Welcome to My Nightmare” in 1975, accompanied by the legendary groundbreaking theatrical Welcome to My Nightmare concert tour. Associated with that album and tour was the ground-breaking network TV special Alice Cooper: The Nightmare. Other film and television appearances include The Muppet Show, Mae West's last film Sextette, Roadie, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearst Club Band and appearances on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson and Tom Snyder's Tomorrow Show. The original band also made an appearance in the movie Diary of a Mad Housewife in 1979, filmed the full-length feature film Good To See You Again Alice Cooper, and Alice appeared in a 1972 episode of The Snoop Sisters. Alice's solo career skyrocketed in the late 1970's, with a succession of hit singles, including “You & Me,” and classic albums, including “Lace And Whiskey” and “From The Inside,” and bigger and even more elaborate concert tours. In the ‘80's Cooper explored different sounds, highlighted by the new wavish album “Flush The Fashion,” the heavy metal “Constrictor” and “Raise Your Fist And Yell,” and then 1989's melodic hard rock album “Trash,” which featured the massive hit single “Poison” and became his biggest selling album and single worldwide. During this period Alice also appeared in the horror films Monster Dog and John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness, and recorded songs for the soundtracks to Roadie, Class of 1984, Friday the 13 Part VI: Jason Lives and Wes Craven's Shocker. Cooper's most memorable movie appearance was as himself in Wayne's World in 1991. He also played (fittingly) Freddy Krueger's wicked step-father in Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, and appeared on Gene Wilder's TV series Something Wilder as well as on That ‘70's Show. The 90's also saw the release of the albums “Hey Stoopid,” “The Last Temptation,” and “Fistful of Alice,” a live album. 1999 saw the release of the definitive historical 4 CD box set “The Life & Crimes of Alice Cooper,” from Rhino/Warners. In the new millenium, Cooper has been very productive and busy, writing, recording and releasing the albums “Brutal Planet,” “Dragon Town,” “The Eyes of Alice Cooper,” “Dirty Diamonds,” “Along Came a Spider,” and 2011's “Welcome 2 My Nightmare,” plus “Old School 1964-1974,” a box set celebrating the original band. He also wrote and published a memoir, “Golf Monster,” in...

This time around on Coopercast, your hosts Bobby Hazzard, (of Spring Break Forever) his royal consort Ms. Hazzard, and the Naschycast’s Troy Guinn first give you our eyewitness, up close and personal accounts of Alice’s two historic reunion performances with his former Alice Cooper Band cronies in Nashville this past May of 2017. Alice, Dennis, Michael & Neil seem to be having a grand ol’ time together, recording some new material for Alice’s new studio release and getting all of us to cross our fingers in hopes of a full reunion tour.                 With that in mind, it seemed topical and sensible to do a show that spotlights the time when Alice and the band had freshly parted ways. Alice was taking a path into Nightmare, Hell, asylums and, oh yes: MEGA-STARDOM while mssrs. Dunaway, Smith, and Bruce were just trying to scratch out a place to rock and roll (and dress as robots and fight onstage, as you do) and step out from under Alice’s boozy shadow.                The result? The Billion Dollar Babies and their lone opus, BATTLE AXE. Listen in on our examination of the Alice Cooper Band’s hard-to-find post-Alice album, as well as the extra tracks from the sessions. We discuss why the project ultimately failed, how a factor here and there might have helped it succeed, and most importantly, help you decide if YOU should put the time into tracking down this elusive, forgotten effort. Because, as always, we at the Coopercast are your guide to all things ALICE!  

In this special Artist Edition of Vinyl Analysis the one and only Alice Cooper joins Archie to dish details about his iconic record, Billion Dollar Babies. Alice also talks about guitar shredding babes, the original Hollywood Vampires, and which rock legend looked great in drag.

March 6, 2013 Dick Wagner’s songs and lead guitar have been featured on more than 200 renowned albums, garnering more than 35 Platinum and Gold records, BMI songwriter awards, Emmys, and numerous prestigious international awards. The Detroit area native helped define an era in rock history by playing lead guitar or writing songs for Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Kiss, Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel, Meat Loaf, Steve Perry, Etta James, Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, Air Supply, Hall & Oates, Ringo Starr, Guns & Roses, Tori Amos, Frank Sinatra, and dozens of others. Legendary for his groundbreaking collaborations with Alice Cooper, Wagner was musical director, lead guitarist and co-writer of the icon’s biggest hits, including Only Women Bleed, You and Me, and Welcome To My Nightmare. Wagner was Cooper’s right hand man on such groundbreaking albums as, Welcome to My Nightmare, Alice Cooper Goes to Hell, Lace and Whiskey, From the Inside, and DaDa. Together, Cooper and Wagner co-wrote the majority of Alice Cooper’s top selling singles and albums, including more than 50 songs featured on 57 Alice Cooper albums released worldwide. As a teenage musician living an hour north of Detroit Michigan, Dick Wagner enjoyed his first taste of “big time show biz,” when he was asked to play guitar as backup for some of his musical heroes, including Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison and Little Richard. Great balls of fire! The Michigan public first took notice of Wagner’s talent in 1964, when he formed the band The Bossmen, whose songs likeBaby Boy were #1 radio favorites in Michigan. Soon Wagner was writing and producing for other Michigan bands. In the late 1960s, as Wagner’s work became more complex and featured a harder edge, he formed the wildly popular band, The Frost, recording three Billboard charted albums and drawing enthusiastic crowds to hear songs likeMystery Man and Rock N’ Roll Music.  Wagner moved to New York to form Ursa Major, a seminal rock band and power trio that recorded one, self-titled, defining album for RCA. The raw musical power and artistry of Ursa Major inspired a generation of rock musicians and remains an influential album for today’s musicians. Little known factoid: the original Ursa Major lineup included Wagner on guitar and Billy Joel on keyboards, but dramas in Billy’s personal life intervened and he left the band. Wagner’s guitar virtuosity captured the attention of Lou Reed, and he was invited to play on Lou’s European Berlin tour in 1973. Wagner assembled a powerhouse band including Steve Hunter and Wagner on dueling lead guitars, Prakash John on bass, Pentti Glan on drums and Ray Colcord on keyboards. The live album, Rock N’ Roll Animal, recorded at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, remains one of the most celebrated and influential guitar albums in rock history. Lauded by Rolling Stone, Billboard, and the international press, Rock ‘N’ Roll Animal was described by renowned music critic, Robert Christgau: “This is a live album with a reason for living.” Writer Joe Viglione, in his book, A Study of Lou Reed’s Berlin and Rock N’ Roll Animal Albums, describes the guitar stylings of Hunter and Wagner: “Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner were as potent a duo as Keith Richards and Mick Taylor, and the four make-up the “Golden Era” of both The Rolling Stones and Lou Reed, that period when the recordings were beyond magical…. Lou’s 9/1/73 show still rates as numero uno in my book, for presentation, drama, craftsmanship and sheer rock and roll energy.” In September 2010, nearly 40 years after the release of Rock N’ Roll Animal, Gibson.com honored Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter among the Top 50 Guitar Solos of All Time, for their guitar performances on Intro to Sweet Jane. Amid the prestigious company of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and other renowned guitar greats, The Hunter-Wagner team appeared twice, with honors as well for their “ghost” guitar work on Aerosmith’s Train Kept A Rollin from their first platinum selling album, Get Your Wings. In 1972, producer Bob Ezrin brought Wagner in to play lead guitar solos on Alice Cooper’s breakthrough School’s Out album. Uncredited at the time, Wagner’s guitar solos were attributed to the Alice Cooper band. The Cooper-Wagner songwriting collaboration began with I Love the Dead, released on Cooper’s Billion Dollar Babies album.  Cooper and Wagner began a prolific collaboration that spanned several decades. Together, the Cooper-Wagner songwriting team wrote 7 out of 9 of Cooper’s Top 10 hit records. Leaving Lou Reed in 1974, Wagner moved the entire Rock N Roll Animal band over to play with Alice Cooper. The first full album written and recorded by the Cooper-Wagner team, “Welcome to My Nightmare,” spawned a number of Top 10 singles. The Welcome to My Nightmare tour, with a road crew of more than 45 persons, private jets, technical wizardry, theatrical showmanship, and extravagant staging and lighting, became the biggest and highest grossing rock tour of its time. Shock rock was born. With Wagner’s studio walls lined with gold and platinum awards, he writes with the observant eye of a world traveled artist. In the late 1980’s, Wagner was commissioned to write music by the San Antonio Commission on Child Abuse. Wagner’s poignant composition,Remember the Child, painfully reflects the pain of child abuse. Renowned author/lecturer John Bradshaw discovered the song and chose it as his theme for the Emmy nominated PBS special,Homecoming. The song has since become the anthem for tens of thousands who have been scarred by child abuse, and is a catalytic tool used by many therapists in helping their patients access their hidden suffering of childhood trauma. Returning to Michigan in early 1994, Dick formed two bands, The Dick Wagner Band, and The RAW Emotion Rock Orchestra. Both later evolved into Dick Wagner and The Souls Journey Band. In 2005, Wagner relocated to Phoenix to form a new production company,Desert Dreams Productions, LLC with partners, Suzy Michelson and Alex Cyrell, entrepreneurs and founders of Omnimount Systems and Future Primitive Designs.  A full service record label and artist management company, Desert Dreams specializes in “Music Production and Artist Development for the extraordinary Artist.” More than forty years after launching his storied and dynamic career, hit songwriter, guitar virtuoso, producer and arranger, Dick Wagner, remains a brilliant, prolific and vibrant force in American music.  Whether rock, blues, country, jazz or spiritual, Wagner’s songs continue to detail the essence of life. His guitar playing continues to inspire guitarists worldwide, and his production values recall the era of great songs with great melodies and universally accessible lyrics.

起初，有一支名为Alice Cooper的乐队，由一个叫Vincent Damon Furnier的主唱领导。在这个主唱的一手策划下，乐队在开发重金属的戏剧性和暴力色彩方面领先一步，他们把音乐搞成了恐怖电影和杂耍，他们在舞台表演方面的吓人玩艺包括：电椅、断头台、鲜血(假的)、大蟒蛇和Furnier阴森的扮相。　　当然事实不仅如此。他们在音乐上也有相当的成就，只是噱头太多影响了人们的注意力。取自六十年代吉他流行乐生猛简单的Riff和旋律表现了摇滚乐最基本但又最迷人的地方，甚至在乐队探索迷幻音乐和艺术摇滚时也是一样。　　在原来的乐队解散后，Furnier开始以Alice Cooper为名进行独立发展，此时他的音乐不再像以前那样充满夸张活跃，而是转化成了直来直去的重金属。不过他在舞台表演中保留了那些令他获得“休克摇滚之王”称号的小道具。　　Furnier的第一支乐队称作the Earwigs后来在1965年改名the Spiders，之后又用过Nazz的名字。The Spiders和the Nazz都曾在当地发行过小有一名的单曲。1968年他发现已经有一支叫作Nazz的乐队后，将队名改为Alice Cooper。关于这个名字，据说来源于Furnier在一次占卜中获得的启发，在那次占卜中他被告知他是17世纪一个同名女巫的转世化身。乐队包括主唱Furnier(后来他自称Alice Cooper)、吉他手Mike Bruce和Glen Buxton贝司手Dennis Dunaway和鼓手Neal Smith。1968年乐队前往加州并遇见了Frank Zappa的经纪人Shep Gordon，他将Alice Cooper收归他的新公司Straight Records。　　Alice Cooper1969年发行了他们的处女作《Pretties for You》，1970年初又发行了《Easy Action》但均石沉大海，乐队在洛杉矶看不到前途，于是来到Furnier的家乡底特律。乐队将他们古怪的舞台风格进行了精炼，1970末乐队签约于华纳唱片，在制作人Bob Ezrin的协助下，乐队在第三张专辑《Love It to Death》中发展了他们经典的重金属风格。这是张金唱片，出现了“Eighteen”这样既能反映青少年反叛情绪又可以打入排行榜的佳作。成功也使乐队可以将他们的现场搞得效果更专业，这又使他们的演唱会成为美国最受欢迎的演出之一。1972的《School's Out》是Alice Cooper在商业上的突破之作，名列专辑榜NO.2，同名单曲进入美国单曲榜Top10名列英国单曲榜首位，销量达百万。而紧随其后的《Billion Dollar Babies》更是火得不得了，在英美两地均居榜首。1973年，在发行了专辑《Muscle of Love》后，Furnier割袖绝情地将乐队其他全部解雇，自己占有了Alice Cooper这个名字，而其他成员则以Billion Dollar Babies为名发行了一张不成功的专辑。　　1974年秋，Alice Cooper的精选《Greatest Hits》打入Top10。为了他的首张个人专辑《Welcome to My Nightmare》，Cooper雇用了Lou Reed的伴奏乐队为自己工作。这张专辑发行于1975年春，保持了一贯的风格和商业成功。在又发行了一张金唱片后Cooper的事业开始走下坡路，这里有风格改变的原因，也有Cooper个人生活恶习的原因。1978年，Cooper康复后创作了专辑《From the Inside》，并且在歌中与Elton John的歌词作者Bernie Taupin一起描绘了他的治疗过程。八十年代初，Cooper仍不断发行专辑并进行巡演，但影响力已大不如前，不过在八十年代后几年，由于他在恐怖电影中的表现和一些流行金属乐队对他公开表示敬意，他的好日子又来了。在金曲机器Desmond Child和一些客座大牌明星的帮助下，1989年的专辑《Trash》成了一张白金唱片，同时令Cooper重回Top10和聚光灯下。九十年代，Cooper仍不时出演一些电影也演出和出专辑，但在音乐上已经失去了影响力
