I like Alice Cooper, but what would ever classify him as avant-garde? Definitely the video you posted makes me just think of a watered down Hawkwind. Space rock, maybe. But in the 60s, no way avant-garde.

With that said, Alice Cooper's original band was a ton more talented than credit is due. I personally enjoy many selections, but this statement is a tad in the area of hyperbole.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
Al Pacino = God
