Actually Screamin Jay Hawkins might be the earliest. Alice Cooper might have the first to have become a major star though (Brown was basically a one hit wonder- at least in the States anyway).

That's true. We didn't dare go out dressed like Alice Cooper. He might have been seen as a little gay by the homophobes that were around in that time.

Of course it was different by the time Kiss...

I don't know, Lucem. I lived in the era of Alice Cooper and parents were absolutely terrified of the guy.

I will agree with your points about Marilyn Manson though. I do think he may have thought...

Actually I think the golf post-ops added to his strange persona. It was like shock rocker by night, well refined conservative by day, kind of like a reverse Jekyll and Hyde.

Boy are you missing a lot. Listen to Killer and see how he compares with Manson. Whoever is more shocking might be arguable but for a three year period, musically speaking, Alice was the king.

Not the ones I associated with. Maybe you had a different experience than I did.

You really think so? Most of the Dead Heads I crossed paths with were pretty damned friendly and I'm not one at all.

I do remember Alice Cooper. I think basically he was more of an entertainer than anything else. His shock concerts no doubt helped him to sell records. This was in the days long before MTV so a lot...

Actually by the 80's Kiss was pretty much taken as a joke. The year I worked at a used record store (1981), you couldn't even sell a Kiss album in the dollar bin.

Even in the seventies, I think...

Honestly, ICP may have been more shocking but it seems like Manson received a lot more outrage comparatively speaking as did Cooper, who was a lot more bizarre as the years went on. Late during his...

Yeah, I think Cooper was both better and more shocking also. I'm of the age that remembers when Alice Cooper was a big deal and people were genuinely shocked at his act which featured a live boa...

Alice Cooper or Marylin Manson

Okay, I'm working on my soon to be member's journal and I'm thinking about the uproar over Marilyn Manson from some years back. I'm also old enough to remember that parents weren't all that crazy...
