I just finished listening to your Talkin' Blues podcast where you mention how you decided to be a musician after seeing Duane Eddy and The Rebels at a movie theatre in Phoenix between flicks. I've heard you say this before and I'd heard of Duane Eddy, but I don't think I remember ever having seen th...

The way I saw it, beginning with LITD all the way through BDB, Bob Ezrin didn’t just record your songs as you originally created them but was a very active producer for you guys, often deconstructing your songs and building them back up again. Neal has often said that Bob was the 6th member of Alice...

If I could omit the part about Glen getting his elbow slashed by shards of glass in a nearly disastrous accident in a revolving door, I loved playing at The Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Netherlands because the acoustics were perfection so every tonal nuance rang true. My favorite show by other bands...

During your time as Alice Cooper in the 70s, you guys toured the US, Canada, Europe and even Brazil. I know that this was business; to hit as many cities as possible to showcase your music to as many concert goers as possible and to do it as efficiently as possible with little lay over time. Given t...

A side note about this: when I made the switch to CDs back in the '80s, I discovered after a while that I no longer knew the names of all of the songs on most albums. I used to know every title from every album because I spent hours and hours looking at the album cover, studying the album cover, me...

At what point did Alice Cooper become THE Headlining Act on the road in the 70s?

I mean, not a few shows here and there but from what point forward were you guys ALWAYS the headliner?

Was it the LITD, Killer, School’s Out or the Billion Dollar Babies’ tour?

Thanks

In the movie GTSYAAC, during the School's Out instrumental break a crazed fan apparently attacks Alice from stage left. How did he get past security? The audience might think. It was great theatre since you guys were so controversial with the rumor mill going. No internet so legends develop. There w...

Who choreographed the shows from the original days of Alice Cooper from PFY through MOL? Who decided the setlist for the live shows? Was it collaborative or usually just a few people? Did who decided what the choreography would be, change over time? Examples below: LITD: Who said, “Ok Alice, you wea...

Being the long-haired freaks you guys were back in the day and the threats you received as a result from macho dudes who didn’t appreciate the look… did you guys ever have to fight you’re way out of a situation or did you always manage to escape or out wit your tormenters before it came to blows? Th...

I think I read somewhere that Neal once punched Alice in the nose or face. It was an accident. Then Alice kind of wrote it into the lyrics of No More Mr. Nice Guy: “Reverend Smythe, he recognized me and punched me in the nose”. Is this a myth or did it really happen? If it did, how did it unfold? Th...

I’ve read in numerous places, including this site, that a planned European tour was canceled around March 1974.
This would probably have been an extension of the MOL tour.
Why was it canceled?
Thanks

I have a German picture book by Wolfgang-Bubi-Heilemann with pictures of Alice Cooper circa 1972 – 1975. The author reprints some photos from a session done in Germany, dated November 15, 1972. He says, “Alice Cooper agreed to come to my photo studio the next day." "Somewhat surprisingly, he arrived...

You said that being a first-time book author, your book publisher limited the number of pages they were willing to print. Thus, you said there were many stories still to be told that didn’t make it into the book. Could you grace us with a story that didn’t make it into the book as if we were all sit...

In his book, Mike Bruce spoke about how you guys met with Alice in Detroit in the 70s to settle for the name. The band was to receive a certain percentage of everything Alice did with the name after WTMN. The % was less than your original percentage of splitting the band cut equally 5 ways. I think ...

Alice has always said that you guys were in to TV and movies. You can hear the influence in songs like Unfinished Suite/Sweet, Halo of Flies, Gutter Cat, and of course Man with The Golden Gun. I know Glen came up with the opening riff to School’s Out. I’ve been hearing a similarity between Glen’s op...

In the late 60s and early 70s, did you or your band mates ever watch Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors and Jimi Hendrix perform from the side of the stage? I know Zeppelin and Pink Floyd were just starting their careers when you crossed paths with them but The Doors and Hendrix were probably well ...

I’m reading in Shep Gordon’s bio, “They Call Me Supermensch”, that Shep told Herb Cohen, Frank Zappa’s manager, that he wanted to get Jack Richardson to produce the Alice Cooper band’s third album and put out a hit single. He said Cohen was dead set against it. He said “We don’t want a commercial hi...

The AC Group’s albums from Pretties for You to Greatest Hits were all incredible works of art; alas, never to return in the digital age. I used to look at the albums while listening to the music. There was always a lot to see and in the albums you can tell it was a BAND. In an interview, you describ...

Dennis,

I read what you said about the Hollywood Bowl show in your book.

If you'd like to comment on this excellent version of Halo of Flies...

Thanks

Love the book and find it very entertaining although I notice this is done with a lot of other books recently and that is it has no index. Is there a reason why? Thanks. I'm not sure why we didn't have an index. I can look into that. I'd guess it was due to the cost of the extra pages, or because w...
