Description
Alice Cooper topped the album sales charts worldwide with his new album, "Paranormal,” his first in six years. Cooper is known for pioneering a theatrical brand of hard rock that was designed to shock.
Event Details
Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood and boa constrictors. He continues to tour regularly, performing shows worldwide with the dark and horror-themed theatrics that he’s best known for. Alice Cooper brings his own brand of rock psycho-drama to fans both old and new, enjoying it as much as the audience does. Known as the architect of shock-rock, Cooper has rattled the cages and undermined the authority of generations of guardians of the status quo, continuing to surprise fans and exude danger at every turn, like a great horror movie. His solo career skyrocketed in the late 1970's, with a succession of hit singles, including “You & Me,” and classic albums, including “Lace And Whiskey” and “From The Inside,” and bigger and even more elaborate concert tours.
In the ‘80’s, Cooper explored different sounds, highlighted by the new wavish album “Flush The Fashion,” the heavy metal “Constrictor,” and “Raise Your Fist And Yell.” Next came his melodic hard rock album “Trash,” which featured the massive hit single, “Poison” and became his biggest selling album and single worldwide. With his influence on rock & roll there is little that Alice Cooper hasn’t achieved in his remarkable career, including platinum albums, sold-out tours and any number of honors and career achievement awards.
