Episode 41: Alice Cooper, part 1: Origins and the Alice Cooper Band
Manage episode 317662874 series 2865098
Court and Matt are back and chomping at the bit in 2022! On this episode of RAMP, the Profs tackle the godfather of shock rock, Alice Cooper. In the late-sixties and early-seventies, the Alice Cooper Band was one of the most influential and notorious rock acts in the world. KISS, the New York Dolls and dozens of theatrical rock bands took their cue from Alice Cooper as he pushed the boundaries of the genre both in terms of presentation and the music. What most people don't know is that Cooper came from a devout Christian family, and that his faith carried him through his struggles with his own personal demons and the pressures of fame and success. His act and persona often appeared at odds with Christianity, and many a critic in the seventies proclaimed Cooper an occultist and Satanist because of themes covered in the music. Never judge a book by its cover! Cooper was and is an entertainer, and the name "Alice Cooper" a clever alias for artistic expression that ultimately won over millions of fans and many detractors worldwide. We hope you enjoy part 1 of our 2 part series on rock pioneer Alice Cooper!
