Alice Cooper initially emerged as a band from Phoenix, Arizona, in 1964, originally called “The Earwigs,” and later known as “The Spiders” before finally adopting the name Alice Cooper. The name Alice Cooper was chosen to sound innocuous and wholesome, in stark contrast to the band’s dark themed music and image. The classic lineup consisted of Vince Furnier (who legally changed his name to Alice Cooper), Glen Buxton (lead guitar), Michael Bruce (rhythm guitar, keyboards), Dennis Dunaway (bass guitar), and Neal Smith (drums). They are often credited with helping to shape the sound and look of heavy metal, and being the pioneers of a grandly theatrical and violent brand of rock designed to shock.

Alice Cooper gained fame with a series of successful albums and singles in the early 1970s, and their breakthrough came with the hit single “I’m Eighteen” from the album Love It to Death, which was followed by the even bigger hit “School’s Out” in 1972. The original Alice Cooper band released seven studio albums together: Pretties for You (1969), Easy Action (1970), Love It to Death (1971), Killer (1971), School’s Out (1972), Billion Dollar Babies (1973), and Muscle of Love (1973). After the band’s dissolution in 1974, Alice Cooper continued as a solo artist, adopting the band’s name as his own stage persona. He has released a total of 28 studio albums, including his work both with the band and as a solo artist.

Alice Cooper’s work as a solo artist includes successful albums such as Welcome to My Nightmare (1975) and later efforts like Trash (1989), which featured the hit single “Poison.” His career has seen multiple resurgences, adapting to different rock trends from heavy metal to new wave influences. Throughout his career, Alice Cooper has been known for his social and cultural impact, highlighted by theatrical live shows featuring guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, and snakes. Cooper’s contributions to rock music have been recognized with induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011.
