Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier, February 4, 1948 in Detroit, Michigan), is a rock singer and musician whose career spans five decades. He is often referred to as the founder of shock rock due to his gory, theatrical performances. Cooper’s music influenced many later musicians and helped shape the sound of punk rock and early heavy metal. The original Alice Cooper band played mostly theatrical garage rock with glam rock image. Since the beginning of Cooper’s solo career in 1974, he has experimented with many different musical styles including art rock, hard rock, new wave, psychedelic rock, disco, hair metal and industrial metal. In recent years Cooper has returned more to his garage rock roots.
The original Alice Cooper group started in March 1964 as The Earwigs who were a beatles cover band. After a couple of name changes, they settled on Alice Cooper in 1968 and the group was known for their theatrical and shocking garage rock. The group wore heavy make-up and womens clothes and they were the first shock rock band ever.
Alice Cooper was originally the name of the band. Under this name, they released several albums before the band dissolved and Vincent Furnier legally changed his name to Alice Cooper, thus making Alice a solo artist instead of a band.
It wasn’t until the Alice Cooper band’s 3rd album, Love It to Death, that the band started getting attention, mostly due to the single “Eighteen”. Popularity rose with each subsequent release through to 1974, particularly with 1973’s release of “Billion Dollar Babies”.
