Kane Roberts (Robert William Athis), or 'Rambo' as many people called him, was the guitarist who played on 'Constrictor' and 'Raise Your Fist And Yell' and their respective tours. He is the man responsible for Alice's 'metal' years in the late '80s as he co-wrote nearly every track from those albums. Just by being on stage, he was a part of the show with his huge physic and rocket shooting guitars. After 'Raise Your Fist', Kane released his first solo album, 'Kane Roberts', which featured Alice lyrics on 'Full Pull'. He then guested on 'Trash', playing guitar on 'Bed Of Nails' before releasing a second solo album 'Saints And Sinners'. In around 2002 he co-wrote a track with Alice called `Hexed In Texas` which so far hasn`t seen the light of day.

He also played on the Bob Ezrin produced 'Count Three And Pray' album by Berlin, and a Rod Stewart album. He help on backing vocals on Steve Vai`s 'Sex And Religion' album. He also co-wrote 'Take It Off' With Paul Stanley and Bob Ezrin which appeared on Kiss` Revenge Album.

Since dropping off the planet, Kane Roberts has focused his creativity on the world of computer games. He currently has three CD ROMS in production, most notably "THE LORDS OF TANTRAZZ" on Atlantean Interactive. A dark and gore-filled sci-fi adventure, it features a dramatic performance by rock and roll's master of the macabre, ALICE COOPER, as the voice of the ultimate evil - "The Hunger". Release date is set for the 3rd quarter of '96.

He contributed to albums by Quo (Quo), Steve Vai (Sex And Religion) and Desmond Child (Discipline). He then made a new band called Phoenix Down. The first album of that new band is out on Now & Then Records and the company said that musically, it will be strong hard rock, in the vein of Kane's second solo album (1991's Saints And Sinners).

Kane also designed the cover graphics for Alice`s Brutal Planet album.
