In 1974, Alice Cooper shocked the rock world, scooped up his makeup
kit and went solo. Consummated by a legal name change from Vincent
Furnier to Alice Cooper, "the man behind the mask" never looked
back, writing and recording fully 21 studio albums across a
roller-coaster career that is now nearly 60 years on in the
business, with almost 50 of that on his own, calling the shots as a
man and brand with a plan, often guided by manager Shep Gordon, one
of the best in the biz. Feed My Frankenstein: Alice Cooper, the
Solo Years charts this action-packed era for Alice, beginning with
the smash success of the Welcome to My Nightmare album and tour and
hitting a nadir with the blackout years of the early '80s, where
Alice nearly died from booze and hard drugs before being brought
back by his faith in God and by the good graces of his wife Sheryl.
Next came Alice's third wave of major success with Trash and Hey
Stoopid, followed by a settling into regular record-making and
touring duties, culminating in some of his best work quite
recently, with Dirty Diamonds, Along Came a Spider and 2021's
Detroit Stories. All of this is celebrated in Feed My Frankenstein,
meticulously charted with timeline entries that are extensively
explained and corroborated by a gallery of Alice's band members
throughout the decades. Helping bring the story to life is a
smorgasbord of imagery, from live photography through to all manner
of memorabilia, underscoring how visceral the visual has always
been for this legendary showman. Get on board and get a sense of
how each and every one of Alice's 21 solo albums work, along with
an understanding of how absolutely and insanely jam-packed life has
been for Alice since 1974 when he and Shep rolled the dice, pooled
all their resources and took us on an all-guns-blazing tour of
Alice's sleeping brain. Indeed, once rolling, it just never
stopped. Next station was Hell, followed by a visit to the asylum
and then, down the road apiece, Brutal Planet, Dragontown and
finally Michigan for some Detroit Stories. It's all here in red,
black and blue - bring your camera.
