As the Rock & Move Hall of Popularity says, "Before the world heard of KISS, the brand new York Dolls, Marilyn Manson, or Ozzy Osbourne, there is Alice Cooper, the initial shock-rock strap." When Alice Cooper became the products of legend in the first '70s, their shows were monuments of fun and invention. Riding on the string of strikes like "I'm 18" and "School's Out", they became America's highest-grossing work, producing four platinum albums and striking number 1 on the US and UK charts with Billion Buck Newborns in 1973. Their utterly original performance style and appearance, known as surprise rock, was quickly copied by countless bands. Dennis Dunaway, the bassist and cosongwriter for the strap, tells a story just like over-the-top crazy as their (in)famous shows. As teenagers in Phoenix, Dennis Dunaway and lead singer Vince Furnier, who later change his name to Alice Cooper, shaped a hard-knuckles strap that portrayed prisons, cowboy pubs, and teen clubs. Their journey got them from Hollywood to the ferocious Detroit music world, along the way adding new dimensions of rock movie theater. From battling for acknowledgement to topping the charts, the Alice Cooper group was amusing, outrageous, and one of a kind. Snakes! Guillotines! Electric Chair! is the riveting accounts of the band's creation in the '60s and peculiar glory in the '70s and the renowned characters they satisfied along the way.
