We all love to see Alice Cooper in the hit movie called Wayne’s World which was a complete sensation in the 1980s. Alice Cooper was originally named Vincent Furnier but changed his name to be more of a celebrity so that he could make a chance for himself in a very difficult arena. At the time when Alice Cooper first came out he had a lot of competition when it came to other singers and celebrities. Born in 1948 he is just over the age of 60 years old now and is still going around doing concerts and live stage shows because he will always be a showman. His tactics for his wild heavy metal was designed to shock people using props like fake blood, electric chairs and guillotines. Just like Ozzy who was doing his thing around the time Alice was but Ozzy was biting the heads of bats and other animals while Alice was mostly using fake scare tactics.

The song Schools Out is still a very popular song to be requested on the radio and at parties which is a song that Alice did way back in 1972. In 1975 he released an album called Welcome to my Nightmare which sold millions of copies and is keeping Alice very rich with all of the royalties that he gets. All the way to last year when Alice release Along Came a Spider we are still seeing the real Alice Cooper trying to shock us all which has not changed since his beginnings in the late 1960s. Alice has made enough albums to fill a small book shelf and he is not letting the team down by stopping now. It would not be surprising if we see another CD come out soon or at least in the next year or more. Even though Alice has his dark sides he is adamant that he is now a born again Christian who means that he is trying to repent for all of his sins during his concerts. This might be a good thing as Alice is getting older and we would like to think that there is a spot at the pearly gates for him too.
