Alice Cooper might be getting on in years but there is no doubt that this man can still rock it like the best of the stars. Nearly 62 this rocker can still make the crowds go wild while they jump up and down in from of him letting him know exactly who the king is. The girls love him and the guys want to be him, a star that can not only sing some very cool music but also put on a great show. Once known as Vincent Fernier, Alice took his stage name so that he could be remembered as well as having a better chance of getting his foot in the door. However with such talent he did not have to try very hard and fame followed his act everywhere.

Gore might be one way to sum up his show where most often you can see some signs of blood or torture. His famous song Black Lace had a very risky chance of being let to air because of the nature of the acts involved in the video clip. People tied up in all types of bondage gear with lights and smoke and the works. For some this is great entertainment however there are a few out there who do not like his sense of talent and would rather his style was swept under the rug. In 1972 his hit song ‘School’s out’ made it all the way to the top of the charts even though there were a few protests along the way. Parents and educators started to fear the worst as this type of gore and shock rock become more and more popular.

Alice played a small role in the smash hit movie, Wayne’s World where the main characters go to see one of Alice’s concerts to pass the time. Alice is a god to them and lets the two boys hang out where the catch phrase ‘we’re not worth’ got a whole new meaning. His latest album, along came a spider was released in 2008 when he was 60 years old which is pretty cool for an old guy. Alice Cooper has been around for quite some time and we are still expecting to see some more great things from him which is why we are all waiting to buy tickets for his next tour. No doubt it will be a gory one just like his others because age has certainly not slowed this rock star down. Like Mick Jagger and our mate Ozzy, Alice Copper will live on forever in song as well as in our memories as being a great showman.
