FYI - PLEASE READ

I'm re-posting this in the journal so it is at the top. There are still some people out there that think I'm Alice Cooper. Some have gotten mad at me for misleading people. It is all over the place that this is not Alice Cooper and that this is run by a fan for the fans. So here is the original journal that has been here since the beginning of this profile.

Some of you have requested to be on my friend list and then ask me if I'm Alice Cooper. It does not say anywhere on the profile that I am Alice Cooper. I even have a disclaimer type thingy saying that this is a fan group run by a fan and has no affiliation with Alice, Alive Enterprises, Nightmare Inc. or Shep Gordon. This profile is for Alice Cooper fans on MySpace to be updated whenever something new is going on with Alice or any one in his camp. Which includes, anything happening with the old Alice Cooper Group members (Michael Bruce, Neal Smith, Dennis Dunaway, Kane Roberts, Etc) or the new Alice Cooper Group (Ryan Roxie, Eric Singer, Eric Dover, etc). Or anything new happening with his Alice Cooperstown BBQ joints or merchandise or anything new period.

If some of you thought that I was Alice, I'm sorry. I did not make any attempt to make people think that I am Alice.

Eyes Without A Facelift By Daniel Siwek

ALICE COOPER

Eyes Without A Facelift






By Daniel Siwek

After rocking, shocking and (since the opening of his sports bar/restaurant) jocking since the Sixties, Alice Cooper (aka Vincent Furnier) has decided it’s time to get back in the race. We’re not talking politics, here, though the Coop was “Elected” a long time ago by a (generation) landslide. We’re talking about garage rock. Before he flew the Coop and became a one-man theatre show –– stuffy enough to play golf with Bob Hope and schticky enough for the Hollywood Squares –– Cooper was OG, original garage. While this style is again the rage, for his latest Eagle Records release, The Eyes of Alice Cooper, the man goes back to his roots, teaming with producer Andrew “Mudrock” Murdock (Godsmack) to make a “live” and raw sounding record, devoid of all that studio makeup. The album features Wayne Kramer of the MC5 taking the sound back to Cooper’s native Detroit. Coop’s gone full circle, and still has Shep Gordon as his manager –– proving that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Music Connection: Why were you so serious about stripping down your new record?

Alice Cooper: I saw what bands like the White Stripes or the Vines were doing and I felt that I could fit right in that, because it’s music I always loved. I really wanted to do that kind of Detroit guitar rock album again, only with better songs. I normally spend about three months in the studio, but I wanted to spend three weeks. We’d rehearse then record, then put it to bed. There was no going back to fix stuff.

MC: Were producers hesitant to work on the album because you wanted it under-produced and not overblown?

Cooper: Yeah, I think so. I sometimes think the producer wants his name above the band. It is an ego thing, and they want their studio trickery to shine. That’s not what I needed this time, because my last three albums were highly produced, big, theatrical records. I really wanted a stripped-down almost non-produced record. Anyone could have done this record, I could have had someone like David Bowie produce it and it would have been fine with me.

MC: You still thank Bob Ezrin on this release, even though he didn’t produce this one.

Cooper: He will always be my George Martin and I’ll always respect his opinions. So while I get so wrapped up in all the story lines and the music, I need somebody who’ll be brutally honest with me. He’ll say things like, “I like these two, but you’re really kidding yourself with these three songs, I don’t know why you’re doing them.” I gave him this album and said, “Bob, how many do you think I have here?” He listened to them and said, “Wow I think these are some of the best songs you’ve ever written,” and I was really happy with that.

MC: It’s interesting how this is a return to garage for you, but you’re also commenting on the current garage scene

Cooper: That’s what “Stuck Somewhere Between High School and Old School” is about. There’s a bunch of bands that are just out of high school that are playing old-school music. And here I am “old school,” being influenced by a bunch of high schoolers, so it really makes a lot of sense to me.

MC: But you were doing garage revival back in the early Eighties, even as you were making new wave records, another style that is popular again.

Cooper: Yeah, that’s right, and very rarely does someone know that “Talk Talk” [Music Machine song he covered on 1980’s Flush The Fashion] was a band from the Sixties, or that “Seven And Seven Is,” [which he covered for 1982’s Special Forces] is Love. I just love those songs, and I almost put them back in the set just to give them another life.

MC: We know that some of the new bands re-inspired you, but what’s your overall take on the music scene today?

Cooper: I think we’re not seeing as many “songs” as we used to. If you go back through the decades and think about the 50s, they’re all classic songs. They floor me. The 60s; same thing. The 70s; lots of great stuff. The 80s; Okay, and by the 90s it starts to get a little thin. The year 2000 comes and suddenly I can’t think of any classics, I can’t think of any from 2000 on. I think it’s because so many bands are depending on hi-tech studio production and settling for a good riff. That’s all they need is a good riff, and I’m, like, where’s the rest of the song? Go and listen to the Beatles, those are real songs.

MC: Even when you were doing “freak-out” music you still loved pop song structure.

Cooper: I remember sitting with some of the members of the Doors, listening to Burt Bacharach and going, “Wow, look how this is constructed!” We’d look at each other and go, “Jeez, this is good writing.” A bunch of stoned L.A. musicians listening to Bacharach. The guys in Pink Floyd used to sit with us, too. When they first came over with Syd Barrett, they lived with us in Venice, because they didn’t have any place to stay and we were the house band at the Cheetah. They would come in and we’d be listening to the West Side Story, and they’d go, “What is that?” and we’d say, “Isn’t it cool?”

MC: You still seemed totally tapped into the youth, referencing X Box’s, etc. How do you stay in touch?

Cooper: I don’t think anything has changed since the Sixties. Teenage rebellion, all of it. I think they’re just basic things. At one point I was a teenage rebel, then I had kids and I still “got it.” I understood what pissed them off and for me it’s easy to sit down and think about what would make a 16-year-old mad. It would make me mad if something was going down at school and then I came home and there was no one there for me to tell it to; if there was no one to rebel against, because mom and dad aren’t even there.

MC: Or, as you once sang, your parents are trying to be cooler than you.

Cooper: But that’s what’s going on in a lot of cases, and this may be the first generation where kids can really go, “The problem is my parents are even cooler than me, they listen to cooler music than I do.”

Nights With Alice Cooper

United Stations Radio Networks, Inc., (USRN) an independent leader
in original network radio programming, has announced it has signed
a deal with legendary rocker ALICE COOPER whereby the performer
will host a weeknight shift targeted to classic rock stations. United
Stations will work closely with Cooper to develop the creative content
of the program. The announcement came from United Stations EVP/Programming
Andy Denemark from the network's New York City headquarters.

"Nights with Alice Cooper" is the latest addition to a rapidly growing
field of evening daypart programming and it is the first such entry
into the evening daypart arena for the network. Beginning on Monday,
January 26, 2004, the show will be delivered to affiliates via satellite
for five hours per night and is intended to provide programming
for the 7pm to Midnight time period, Monday through Friday. The
music playlist for the show will be comprised of upbeat classic
rock and the broadcasts will be populated by Alice Cooper and a
cast of characters who will be introduced to the program and evolve
over time. Cooper, who resides in Arizona, will have the show emanate
from a mysterious location in the Arizona desert.

In making the announcement, USRN's Denemark pointed out that the
introduction of this series is in response to current trends in
radio. "We've been monitoring the success of various evening programs
in other formats and felt that rock radio is one format where nights
really have potential. When Alice Cooper approached us with a desire
to do radio, the fit was just a natural." Denemark added that, "A
lot of us remember when nights at rock radio were really fun and
interesting - it's our intention to do that again."

"I'm really intrigued by the notion of radio," said Alice about
his new nighttime gig. "It's a medium that lends itself to great
theater right alongside the music, and I'm really looking forward
to shaping something new and working side by side with a lot of
my old friends on the station side."
