Alice Cooper Vinyl Record Albums

Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier ,February 4 ,1948 ), is a heavy metal singer and musician . He is best known for his stage performances, which are often theatrical and violent, utilizing make-up, electric chairs, guillotines, decapitated human heads, fake blood, and boa constrictors .
Alice Cooper was originally just the name of Furnier's band. Furnier officially changed his own name to Alice Cooper for a successful solo career.
Furnier, of French ancestry, born in Detroit and heavily influenced by The Beatles , formed a number of rock bands in the 1960s , including the Earwigs, The Spiders, and The Nazz. Furnier, upon learning that Todd Rundgren also had a band called the Nazz, changed the band's name to Alice Cooper, which at that time included guitarist Mike Bruce , guitarist Glen Buxton , bassist Dennis Dunaway , and drummer Neal Smith . After moving to California in 1968 , the band enlisted Shep Gordon as their manager, and the band was soon signed to Frank Zappa 's Record Label, Straight Records - releasing two competent but outlandish albums, Pretties For You and Easy Action , to a frosty public and critical reception.
Although the band incorporated theatrics in their stage act from the outset, a chance case of press misreporting an unfortunate, unrehearsed stage routine involving Alice and a live chicken led to the band changing tack - capitalising on tabloid sensationalism and creating a new sub-genre, shock rock .
