Actually one of the biggest myths surrounding Alice Cooper was that he fired the rest of the band to go solo.

What actually happened was after the Billion Dollar Babies tour was a lot of the band wanted to do solo albums , but Alice was convinced they should carry on as they were.They recorded another album togther (Muscle Of Love) but the band were so burnt out it wasn`t all that good and they decided to take a break from it. Alice`s solo album (Welcome To My Nightmare) was really the only album that made it off the ground and was a huge success.After that he just carried on doing his thing & the rest of the band did theirs. 3 of the band released an album called Battle Axe under the band name The Billion Dollar Babies in 1977 with a singer called Mike Marconi but it did badly and they split shortly afterwards.
So they wern`t fired , the band just sort of drifted apart. Apparently they`re all still good friends with each other. Alice got onstage and played a few songs with them a few years back.
