The astonishing run of albums unleashed upon an unsuspecting public
within the span of five years created the legend of Alice Cooper
that lives on to this day. But we're talking about the original
Alice Cooper group here, a band called that with a lead singer also
going by that name. In other words, the legend was built by Vincent
"Alice Cooper" Furnier, Michael Bruce, Glen Buxton, Dennis Dunaway
and "platinum god" Neal Smith. It is all of them working together -
along with producer Bob Ezrin - that created the mystique of songs
like "I'm Eighteen," "Is It My Body," "Desperado," "Under My
Wheels," "Be My Lover," "Elected" and "No More Mr. Nice Guy." And
it is all of them working together - along with crack management in
Shep Gordon and Joe Greenberg-that created the shock rock buzz that
kept the newspapers full of indignation about this band set out to
destroy human civilization. Easy Action: The Original Alice Cooper
Group tells the story in meticulous chronological detail, from the
band's early days in Phoenix as The Spiders, through being broke on
the Sunset Strip, followed by a career-reviving relocation to a
notorious party house on the outskirts of Pontiac, Michigan.
Corroborating the improbable sequence of events is a plethora of
stories from the band themselves, who explain how the original
Alice Cooper group went from politely ignored pariahs in Los
Angeles to international Public Enemies No. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Listen to the guys and their good-natured explanations behind the
mayhem, and it soon becomes apparent that the ghoulish makeup
around the singer's eyes and the boa constrictor around his neck -
not to mention the head-choppings, the hangings and the hard rock -
were all served up in good fun. Now it's time for you, dear reader,
to join in the fun and see why Alice Cooper was, for a golden
moment in time fully 50 years ago now, the most feared and revered
act in all of rock 'n' roll.
