Mini bio
How it started.
The Alice Cooper band came together while its members were in high school in Phoenix. Frank Zappa signed them in Los Angeles in 1969. Working with producer Bob Ezrin helped them find their breakthrough with Love It to Death in 1971.
Songs with a stage show.
School’s Out and Billion Dollar Babies followed, alongside increasingly elaborate shows. Horror movies, vaudeville and garage rock fed the act’s mix of songs, snakes and staged scares. Alice Cooper began as the band’s name, then became its singer’s stage name and legal name.
His own nightmare.
Welcome to My Nightmare launched his solo recording career in 1975. Its songs follow a child named Steven through his dreams. Trash brought another defining song in 1989: Poison. In 2025, he returned to the studio with the original band for The Revenge of Alice Cooper.
