One thing I don't think Alice Cooper gets enough credit for was just how weird, fucked up and original they were when they first started.

I think people just see the classic rock Alice Cooper which is a shame because the Zappa influenced freak band era of the first couple of albums pisses over so many avant garde bands that are hero worshipped today.

In my experience it seems Alice Cooper is too mainstream for the outsider music fans to appreciate and this stuff is waaaaay too fucked up for the classic rock fans to get so it ends up being forgotten about.

I mean just check this shit out...

I would sell my mother to have seen that era of the band live.
