Alice Cooper Is Intense! | 3 Generation Reaction | Alice Cooper | Schools Out 

This one was pratically an anthem for kids in school in the early seventies.

Alice is one of the nicest people you would ever meet. He was a 20 year friend of Glen Campbells and he gave a very heartfelt video statement upon his passing. Alice also raises a lot of money for charity in Arizona.

Alice really does know how to put on a show. And yes this one is pretty tame in comparison to some of his other songs. Alice is considered the father of shock rock. His shows are very much 'a show'.

Alice Cooper was the name of the band when they formed in 1964. When the band broke up in 1974, lead singer Vincent Furnier legally changed his name to Alice Cooper and embarked on a solo career. School's Out is the title track of the 1972 album. Other songs to check out: I'm Eighteen, Welcome to My Nightmare, Hey Stoopid, Poison.

Alice Cooper is basically the performer's on-stage persona. He doesn't actually act this way in real life.

Alice is great and still puts on the at 75 as he did at 30! You should see the video from Wacken 2013. The song came out April 26, 1972.

From the 70s to being in his 70s, Alice still puts on the best live show in rock n roll. This is the song that gets him guaranteed airplay at the end of the school year all over the world every year since 1972

First live concert I ever went to when I was 16 was Alice cooper. Hara arena in Dayton Ohio. It was his first album. It was incredible. He had snakes on stage, a guillotine and maybe a baby doll? It was 50 years ago. But it was fun. Later in life I learned more about him. He plays golf. He plays in celebrity tournaments. He's just a normal guy that created this character back in the 70s. He hid his true life from everyone to keep the mystic growing. He is a brilliant man that knew what he was doing. He's retired now so now you see who he truly is. A marketing genius.

This was the title track of the album School's Out Released June, 30,1972. Fun fact, He also has a Doctorate in American History. You can see some of his knowledge come out in the movie Wayne's World. He ad-libbed the scene where he gave the history behind the name of the city of Milwaukee.

Alice still tours like a madman. 200 + shows a year. Keep an eye on his website chances are he's coming to a town near you.

He had a lot of great hits early on but my favorite album all time was his 1973 album Love It To Death. It had a bunch of hits and a bunch of fan favorites on it, I'm Eighteen from that album is so classic and I bet you all would love it. A definite coming of age song, and it rocks hard.

Alice the original shock Rocker! Love the song "Billion Dollar Babies"!

Great reaction, ladies! I saw Alice perform live several times when I was younger in the 70s. The shows were wild! IRL, he was nothing like his stage persona.

Listen to "You and Me". I couldn't believe that was Alice Cooper.

Alice Cooper has done a lot of wild shows, like simulating guillotining his head off. I only saw him once in concert, though. This song originally came out in the 1970s.

First off...Lulu just cracks me up. Secondly, Alice Cooper is the Godfather of Shock Rock, he puts on a show on top of the music, as you can see here. He had a 90s hit called Ppison I think you all may like. Keep up the good work ladies.

My wife and I saw him and his band about 7 years ago outside of Houston. They were opening for Deep Purple but they put on a HELL of a show!! He's only two or three years older then me but his energy puts me to shame!! 🤣🤣🤣

Alice Cooper was in the Johnny Depp movie of Dark Shadows .They used to have a guillotine in the act , also a large snake . This came out in 1990 , the song came out in '72 , during my sophomore year .

I SAW THEM LIVE PERFORMANCE THREE TIMES, EACH SHOW WAS TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND CALLED "SHOCK ROCK"😲😲😎😎👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤❤

i love alice cooper try welcome to my nightmare great song

The first guy I went out with in 1973 looked like Alice and who we called Alice introduced me to this song as we sang it the last day of school

"POISON" the best!

Still remember finishing 11th grade and singing this one on the way home with my buddy on a summer's day.

He looks like this but has been happily married for 40 years, don't ever do drugs and his passion is golfing.

His story is deep. It goes through some dark places and comes out so bright.

I saw Alice in this tour in Manchester, ive seen him over 20 times always a great show, yes this was a tame clip, catch doing Stephen then into i love the dead where he uses the guillotine to behead himself, other props hanging himself from gallows and the electric chair. A strange case of tour had the giant cyclops, Alice,s shows were always theatrical with good hard driving music. During his Billion dollar babies tour here in the UK religious groups protested outside the concert venues and tried to ban him from the country. The original shock rocker.

We used to sing this on the playground in grade school, laugh.

One of the best stage shows I've seen. Its half rock concert and half stage show its like watching a rock opera.

Shoulda found a video of the original band from 1972. Absolutely blows this away!

Sang it on the last day of class in elementary school every year in the 70s.

Alice Cooper is 75 yrs of age and he's still recording and touring as 'evil Alice Cooper' ... This was an anthem of rebellion released in 1972 from the album of the same name "School's out" 🤘🤘🔥🔥 In real life, he was born Vincent Furnier to a Christian pastor dad who was a rock n' roll music fan, and he married the daughter of a Christian pastor - his wife Sheryl, since the 70's... Sheryl is a ballet and theater dancer and performed w/ Alice Cooper on tour in 1975. They married soon after and both are devout Christians... not the psychotic character that Alice Cooper is on stage. Vincent Furnier was born in Michigan and like most kids in the 60's, grew up on The Beatles... He and his friends formed a Beatles tribute band called The Earwigs in high school... After graduating, the band became more theatrical and started using Halloween decorations on stage and called themselves The Spiders... Eventually, they were signed to Frank Zappa's label in the late 60's and needed a new name... Vincent was the singer and suggested the name Alice Cooper... The new Alice Cooper band wanted to shock audiences and dressed in glittery clothes and looked very intimidating... Vincent drew black eyeliner patterns on his eyes and looked deranged onstage... Audiences were so appalled by the band's appearance that they would freak out and leave. As the Alice Cooper band did concerts, people kept calling Vincent 'Alice'... and he was a bit confused by it, but he soon embraced the notoriety and legally changed his name to Alice Cooper to the shock of his parents 😲😲Alice Cooper's first 2 albums sold poorly and Zappa had to sell his label to Warner Bros. records in 1970 - they were not thrilled w/ having Alice Cooper on their roster of artists. However, they found a manager who believed in the band - Shep Gordon... He saw how audiences freaked out and left at an Alice Cooper show and thought that was 'powerful'... They just needed to harness that power and use it to draw people in. He brought in Canadian producer Bob Ezrin who loved the band and signed on to work w/ Alice Cooper (Bob Ezrin would become a huge producer working w/ bands like Pink Floyd, Kiss, Peter Gabriel, Deep Purple, etc.) ... Ezrin rebuilt the Alice Cooper band sonically, which featured - Alice Cooper (lead vocals), Glen Buxton and Michael Bruce (guitars), Dennis Dunaway (bass) and Neal Smith (drums) ...They released a new single 'Eighteen' in 1970 and it shocked everyone by becoming a huge hit on radio... Alice Cooper was in demand and finished their 3rd album 'Love it to death' in 1971, which became a platinum success. With fame came money... bigger shows... more elaborate theatrical production... After the 'Killer' album in 1971, Alice Cooper would perform w/ a live snake onstage for a song... He set the bar for 'shock rocker' in the 70's and inspired every theatrical band from Kiss to Rob Zombie. Alice Cooper was playing arenas and stadium after the albums "School's out" (1972) and 'Billion dollar babies' (1973)... Unfortunately, the band and Alice Cooper reached a breaking point by 1974 and the singer split w/ his band and went solo in 1975. Alice Cooper announced his first album as a solo artist 'Welcome to my nightmare' in 1975 and an elaborate tour for the album... Thankfully, it became a hit record selling platinum that year. Alice met his wife Sheryl who was a dancer on his tour and they soon married... However, Alice Cooper was also losing his battle w/ alcoholism and checked into a mental institution to sober up and get treated in 1978. He was clean for a few years, but his record sales were dropping by then... In the early 80's, he relapsed and abused alcohol to the point where he was near death and had to be hospitalized and nearly wrecked his marriage. In 1983, Alice Cooper finally made a final effort to get clean and saved his marriage... also briefly walking away from showbiz for a few years. A fully sober Alice Cooper made his comeback in 1986 w/ the album 'Constrictor' and was determined to reclaim his place as the original shock rocker... His 1989 album 'Trash' became a platinum selling record after a decade w/ the hit single 'Poison'... Alice Cooper also appeared as himself in the comedy movie "Wayne's World" in 1992, but the 90's grunge rock era had again shafted his popularity. He kept touring in the 90's and eventually did better in the 2000's w/ albums like 'Brutal Planet' (2000)... 'Dragontown' (2002)... He finally also released a sequel album in 2011 - 'Welcome 2 my nightmare'... and has also been rejuvenated by his live band that featured 3 guitarists - female shredder Orianthi played in Alice Cooper's band for a few years and was replaced by guitarist Nita Strauss. Alice Cooper's latest album 'Road' in 2023 is his 29th album. Alice Cooper also formed the band Hollywood Vampires w/ actor Johnny Depp (guitar) and Aerosmith's Joe Perry (guitar) Some more Alice Cooper classics - 'Eighteen' ... 'Billion dollar babies' ... 'No more Mr. Nice Guy' ... 'Only women bleed' ... 'Welcome to my nightmare' ... 'Hey stoopid' ... 'House of fire' ... 'Poison' ... 'Lost in America' ... 'Caffeine'... 'Feed my Frankenstein'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘

When i was younger,i called Alice "the grandpa of rockers",and when you look at him with his black makeup on,he surely looks like the father of the guys in KISS,eventhough they are not far away in age lol. He is very intense on stage,but the funny and ironic part is that he has such a "friendly neighbour" type of personality. I remember as a kid and teen,that many intimidating rockers would surprise me with theyr personalities. I guess i pictured them alot more "wild and reckless" also in theyr personalities,when i didnt know any better. I know this man best for Poison of course,and "Hes back,the man behind the mask",wich was his song about Jason Voorhees,the main character in the horror franchise Friday The 13th. I got into him because he has had 2 of the best female guitar players in the world with him on tour for years,first the Australian madame and also solo artist by the name Orianthi (she also played with Michael Jackson at some point,i believe,and other famous artists) To be replaced by someone that actually looks up to Orianthi,the stunning and amazing Nita Strauss. She collaborates with many of the leading vocalists out there today,with her solo music. Both these ladies has tons of tour picures with Alice on theyr IG accounts. But yeah,Alice Cooper with makeup on would be so intense and intimidating for my grandma,she would look at him as a crazy person Lulu`s eye for detail about the guys never stops amusing me!

Another anthem for the kids of the 70’s that loved to party was by The Godz “Gotta Keep a Runnin”

He is from Detroit Michigan and his Halloween show in Detroit MI in the 70's was out of control. Alice chops of his own head in the show.

I saw them in concert in Louisiana in the late 70's

The live show is fun, but the studio version is so much better. (ICONIC song Lulu)

I've seen him in concert over a dozen times!

Love me some Alice C. Great rocker with a number of great songs. Always dressed for the occasion in his concerts. BTW if you think he just does rocker songs, I've got him on a live play of "Jesus Christ Super Star". So he is a versatile singer, not just what is mostly seen. I think he mostly likes to dress as a shocker rocker and it's reflected in most concerts.

First concert I went to. 1975, Sam Houston Coliseum, Houston. I was 14...His main influence was classic horror films...@9:26: The expression on your face when he licks the guitar is exquisite...Heh...

The album "Schools out" is from 1972. My favorite song from this album is "My Stars".... Awesomeness.

One of my first acid trip in the early 70s ! The Album Love it to death ! And i saw them in Montreal in the 70s ! Yes it s an old song !😎

a ferocious anthem. mr. cooper is not only a very intelligent man, iirc, he was operatically trained.

Nah, 1972. You're seeing footage from at least 15 years later. If nothing else just check out the studio track that was the hit on the radio and a lot of people like me bought the 45 RPM single

Schools Out released in April 1972 just in time for my high school graduation. Now for something a little more wild. Tubes - White Punks On Dope (1977 R0X M1X)

Went to the Billion dollar babies concert in 73 still my top tier performance of all time in my life, should react to that whole album.🔥🔥

This song I heard when I was in School and I am now 64. I my days we called this music Hard Rock in Germany. There were no sub divisions like meatl etc.. Needless to say Alice is one heck of a geezer. And, privatly, I think he is a a nice guy.

So great. I loved it fifty years ago (!) and it still sounds great. It was considered a kind of glamour rock back then, and some called it shock rock. He really has taken good care of his voice, he still can sing like that, great. He also plays in a band with Johnny Depp on guitar!

Alice Cooper is now in his 70s and STILL records and tours. Y'all rock on

He’s a minister too and has quite the conversion story.

Its like going to see a Rock Opera and then a Broadway show breaks out.

Alice lives here in Arizona. I have had the pleasure of meeting him twice and he couldnt have been nicer. He sure puts on a great show. Years ago he took part in a live broadcast on tv and radio of A CHRISTMAS CAROL . He played the boy at the end who scrooge asked to get the big goose. Such a treat. He talked of how great a rock opera of a Christmas Carol would be. Wish he had of been able to pull it off. Great guy. Wife was also a pleasure to meet.

So Alice Cooper on Halloween was a show for Harry Houdini in Detroit where the best. He did many of them.

I saw Alice 3 times in the early 70s. I still have the beer bottle he gave me in 1973 at the Holiday Inn in Roanoke Virginia. Yes, they were crazy on stage! This is a mild performance.

"Halo of Flies" is a great epic song from 1971. Listen to the studio album version.

This was recorded in Birmingham, UK. I was in that audience towards the back !! xx

This song was released in 1972. I was 5 years old!

Need to watch early cooper from mid 70’s

Yeah it came up in 1972 and this is just a concert later lots later

LuLu, baby girl...."Scholl's out for summer" by Alice Cooper...it was released originally in the 1970's!!

Alice was my first concert in 86. Tickets were 13 $ . I've seen him many times since , and he Never fails to deliver ! You all should go see him !!!

Every show is a theatrical production.

This song came out in the late 70's.

I remember blasting this out of my 8-track player as I drove home on my very last day of school in 1976!

Check out Alice Cooper one and only love song You and Me. He wrote it for his wife many years ago. His wife was a dancer/performer in his show. They are still married all these years later.

YES you're very right it did come out in 1972!!!

Combined Cult horror films and music. Total Audio and Visual entertainment w/ hooks and solid musicians. Sadly, looking at much of his material in 2024 creates lots of questions for those awake. Yet, still some great straight R&R classics.

that song came out in 1972

Lulu has to watch "The Ballad of Dwight Fry" live

All Alice Cooper songs have a message of goodness to them, don't let the few words invade your mind too soon, hear the full song first (from bad life experience in his songs he turns them into a good one are his end messages). Best band to see live

Alice Cooper is an icon and a OG of shock. I have had the pleasure of seeing Alice a few times in Concert and even got to see Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie play a concert together Two different generation shows. Rob Zombie is somewhat more current and technical while Alice Cooper is super over the top spectacular wizard of theater. I watched him die 7 different horrible deaths live in one concert😮😮😮😮😅😅😅 it was great. This song is an anthem that drove every school yeear through most of the Seveties then just carried on. I am enjoying a lot of your different generational reactions. I my self will be 61 in a few weeks but when it comes to good music there is only the music. I started watching you because of your Angelina Jordan journey. I got to see Angelina perform September 22 2023. Keep up the great reactions and if you all play then Keep on Playing!😊 Bluesfingers1

This is VERY tame. No snake, no guillotine, no giant spiders.....

Congrats on discovering Alice --- I've been listening to him since 1971.

Alice, born Vincent to a Baptist minister and his wife of course in Detriot Michigan. His good firend Groucho Marxs was the first to proclaim that his show was vaudeville. Still at the age of 75 he has put out a new album and is out on tour. Songs you should check out would be Welcome to my Nightmare, I Love the Dead, 18, Muscle of Love, Dead Babies, or maybe Only Women Bleed. Yes these are a little more in his Shock Rock songs. He has also nightly either been Electrocuted, Hanged, but usually it is the Guillotine. Enjoy your reactions keep up the good work.

Now the other thing is Alice Cooper was a Big time Fan of Harry Houdini who die in Detroit. So going to see Alice Cooper live in Detroit Michigan was Alice playing Harry Houdini. If you don't know Harry Houdini look him up.

THIS WAS ROCK BACK IN THE DAY!!!! WOOOOOT!!! IM AS OLD AS UR GRAMMA LOL

What an awesome,fun tune. Alice is really a very cool guy who went through a lot drugs and had to get help. He went to his family to recover and he found region which helped him. He's a family guy with a very long marriage. He's a smart open minded guy. And an awesome showman.

check his song, You and Me then do teenage Frankenstein it will show you how wide his range is musically.

I have seen Alice Cooper 3 times live. He puts on a crazy show.

At one time Alice played this after Pink Floyd the Wall back in the day. Talk about his stage actions he almost strangled to death for one song the nuse was too tight when he fell

Hahaha. This song is a right of passage for every school kid. Alice Cooper (Vincent Furnier) has a crazy fun silly live show You wouldn’t know it by his stage presence & performance but he’s a very spiritual guy who doesn’t do drugs or drink anymore and dose a lot of things for young musicians and an avid golfer.

Alice Cooper shows we're horror meets Vaudeville. He was the godfather of shock rock. He came out around the same time as KISS. You can't imagine our eyes when we saw both bands. Shocking cool. My friend Nita Strauss plays guitar for him and has for the last few years.

The song itself was released in 1972.

To this day he end his concerts with School's Out. I saw them in1976. You should watch live Ballad of Dwight Fry.

Alice Cooper video of the song elected would be a cool one for you to react to. The song debut came in 1973 or 1974

Sometimes it's written as "principles" while other times it's "principals". No one knows which one is right. It really doesn't matter.

This is pretty calm. I'd suggest looking up the original lineup in 71 -73 Even his latest band is amazing. Find live versions of Ballad of Dwight Fry , and Halo of Flies. His current band is AMAZING.

Thought id sneek in and see what you thought of Alice Cooper. . .hi from NZ🇳🇿 Funfact: . . He plays golf . . . He has a golf tournament and he play off a 5 handicap . . ..💐💐💐

Donna is rocking it while Lulu and Kathy have a big question mark over their heads..lol..just kidding.😅

it was released in 1972

Nicest guy, He does a radio show in Maui. Devoted husband and runs a Christian non-profit organization that helps troubled teenagers and children.

You trio r AWESOME!! Love ya'll up here in Canada..U r international stars now. Eh!! Im a 66 yr old school rock & blues guy. . Keep up the great reviews, ladies!

halo of flies, brutal planet, Stephen and many other great Alice Cooper songs

This is great...3 Generations....awsome. Keep feeding the young ones good old Rock Music, there is not so much around these Days. Greetings from Germany..👍

Alice Cooper ... Only Women Bleed... and find a live version.

You need to check out his song Poison it was I think his biggest hit

I got to see him live and what a show. No More Mr. Nice Guy, Billion Dollar Babies, I love the dead.(Im Eighteen is the most favorite song)

You 3 should go see Alice perform together. It is very common for multiple generations to attend his current concerts together. And one of his amazing guitarists, Nita Strauss, is just brilliant and a great inspiration for future female musicians. She has some great solos music out. Should check out "Dead Inside" in which David Draiman, lead singer for the band Disturbed sings lead vocals... She will blow your mind!

Check out his 80's suff also. "Poison" , "Bed of Nails" "Love's a Loaded Gun", "He's Back".. for example. There's a really good cover of Schools Out also with "Cretu & Thiers". If you like 80's.

I think you should check out his phone called be My lover. It's a really great rocking track.

1972 it came out. This video was much later in 1990
