The audacious, precedent-shattering, inspirational, taboo-defiling hoodlum flamboyance of Alice Cooper did more than forever alter the face of rock 'n' roll as we now know it. He virtually invented rock as theater,
created new fashion trends, sparked a new sexual revolution, established higher standards for teenage decadence, and found time on top of all this to write and record a library of classic rock 'n' roll albums. The fact that Alice Cooper is rock 'n' roll's foremost legendary statesman of outrage is far beyond reproach. Any act worth its weight in rock 'n' roll, theatrics, makeup, and in-your-face, kick-ass punk attitude
owes more than just a passing nod of respect in the direction of this malignantly macabre culprit.
And if you need proof, just
ask Kiss, Marilyn Manson,
David Bowie, the New York Dolls, Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, Iggy & The Stooges, Mцtley Crьe,
Lou Reed, Hanoi Rocks, Boy George, Slade, Parliament-Funkadelic, The Tubes, T. Rex,
Elton John, The Runaways, Guns N' Roses, Gary Glitter, Aerosmith, the Dead Boys, Adam Ant, Poison, Prince, the Sex Pistols,
the Ramones, Twisted Sister, Devo, Megadeth, the Plasmatics, Madonna, Gwar, Cheap Trick, Zodiac Mindwarp, Alien Sex Fiend, W.A.S.P.,
The Rolling Stones, The Cramps, Rob Zombie, Ozzy Osbourne, David Lee Roth, or even Elvis (the next time you see him at a White Castle)--to name only a few.
And no less a personage than Bob Dylan (who's been known to dip into the mascara himself from time to time) publicly proclaimed in a January 26, 1978, Rolling Stone cover story: "I think Alice Cooper is an overlooked songwriter."

Многу мрзам типчиња од типот:Како може да го прашаме Курт дали му бил Алис Купер идол,типови што се фаќаат за збор ко слеп за стап.Пола од Ramones да не не се мртви!?
Извинете на мојата незаитересираност да научам како се спелува ценетото презиме на господин Курт.
Читајте малце,не е се во музичка инспирација.МНогу убаво си напишав во постот дека Купер направил многу повеќе од пишување песни:
Go back and take another look at that long list of performers
who owe a debt to Alice Cooper. Study it carefully, for they all had their greatest successes after the advent of Alice.
David Bowie may have worn a dress on the cover of The Man Who Sold The World in 1971, but Alice had already flirted with transvestism in 1969. Marc Bolan admirably defined Gangster Glam on Bolan's Zip Gun in 1975, but Alice had already been there and gone by 1973. Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood may have refined the punk rock look in 1977, but guess who invented it by wearing S&M gear as well as the slashed 'n' shredded safety pin look as early as 1972? The freshly dug-up Gothic gloom 'n' doom look of Siouxsie And The Banshees? Alice. The grease-paint personas of Kiss? Alice.
Тие од Алис црпеле многу повеќе од музичка инспирација.............
