Rock songs , personally speaking , has never been my favorite. But it's noticeable that rock singers and artists are really amazing in creating love songs. To name a few , there's Bon Jovi , Aerosmith and Mr. Big . Our next artists pic doesn't seems to fit on a blog decorated by a butterfly , but who says that we have a limitation on posting an artist's picture or song here? As long as the song touches the soul, there's always a place for that here.
Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier; February 4, 1948) is an American rock singer, songwriter and a musician. With a stage show that features guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, and boa constrictors, Cooper has drawn equally from horror movies, vaudeville, heavy metal, and garage rock to create a theatrical brand of rock music that would come to be known as shock rock.
Without Alice Cooper, there might never have been the NY Dolls, KISS, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Motley Crue, Slipknot or Rob Zombie ... maybe not even David Bowie, or at least not Ziggy Stardust. The iconic hard rocker, who literally invented the concept of the rock concert as theater, returns to what he does best on Along Came a Spider (SPV Records), the 25th studio album of a long and illustrious career which began in 1969 with the release of Pretties for You on Frank Zappa's Straight label.
Alice Cooper is known for his social and witty persona offstage, The Rolling Stone Album Guide going so far as to refer to him as the world's most "beloved heavy metal entertainer". He helped to shape the sound and look of heavy metal, and is seen as being the person who "first introduced horror imagery to rock'n'roll, and whose stagecraft and showmanship have permanently transformed the genre". Away from music, Cooper is a film actor, a golfing celebrity, a restaurateur and, since 2004, a popular radio DJ with his classic rock shows Nights with Alice Cooper.
You may visit his website, actually one of the weirdest I’ve seen, at http://www.alicecooper.com/, for more information. Our featured song is a personal favorite of a very best friend of my boyfriend who will be graduating at De La Salle University this coming October 11, 2008. A tribute for Mr. Alberto Mangahas, I Never Cry by Alice Cooper. (Reference: http://www.alicecooper.com/ and wikipedia)
