We had the pleasure of seeing him live on Sept. 2/17 in Toronto (along with Edgar Winter and Deep Purple on a triple bill). Such fun!

    1. The songs never get old! 😀 The great thing about Alice is that he is still making new music and touring. And, he has the energy of a younger man, so he can pull it off. I hope you had a spooktacular Halloween!

  4. I can’t recall if I wrote here so I’m writing…lol. even though I don’t own any of his music, I always like Aluce Cooper who seems to be very nice, respectful to Vincent( unlike Michael, ” crotch-grabbing” Jackson) and quite intelligent. I listened to all of these and was surprised at how many I know!

    1. Vincent Fournier (Alice’s real name) is known to be a nice guy. His father was an evangelist and Alice used to do missonary work with him. 🙂 Yes, I remember that story you told about MJ not paying Vincent Price. Shameful! Alice Cooper has had some major hits and he keeps making new music. His latest album, Road (songs about touring, which he also still does), came out end of August.

  5. Playlists perfect for Halloween. Would you believe that the first Alice Cooper concert in my area (Binghamton, New York) (scheduled for December 29, 1973) was cancelled because it was felt he wasn’t suitable for our community? He was finally allowed to perform in 1975.

    1. Yes, Alice is the poster boy for Halloween! 😀 I know he had a lot of disapproval in the early days of his career. People didn’t understand it was theatre which wasn’t meant to be taken seriously.

  7. Deb! Excellent Halloween tunes. I grew up listening to Alice, because of my brother. I love Black Widow!!! Thanks for this blast from the past! Happy Halloween! 🙂 <3

    1. I know what you mean, Janie. Ticket prices have increased by ridiculous amounts this year. 😕 Most of our concerts are in the past now, but luckily for us, some of the best Canadian talent is more reasonably priced.

  13. Debbie,

    Alice Cooper is a great music choice to close the month with and to get you in the mood for Halloween. I wondered if he might retire but after searching the Internet I read an article where he states “doesn’t exist” in his vocabulary…”. I love how classic artists like him just keep giving their all to their craft. What a fun bonus to find Vincent Prince featured in one of his music videos! Thanks for joining the 4M party. Have a boogietastic week, my dear!!

    1. I don’t think Alice will ever retire! 😀 He enjoys performing too much and his wife is part of the act, so there are no long separations. Isn’t that great? Thanks for co-hosting this weekly musical blogfest!

        1. Yes, she does most of the characters, like this one:

          P.S. Check your email inbox – I sent you some info. (Maybe in spam folder, because of the links?)

  14. I have never celebrated Halloween. It was never a ‘thing’ in England until the 1990s, when it was ‘imported’ from North America along with trick or treating, and massive commercialism in every shop.
    I might be considered to be old and grumpy about it, to say the least. 🙂
    Have a lovely time, Debbie!
    Best wishes, Pete.

    1. Yes, I was surprised to learn that Halloween has been adopted by European countries. It wasn’t known in Germany either, when I lived there (1960s). The commercialism is definitely ridiculous! 😛 We ignore the whole thing, these days, but I love Alice Cooper! 😀

      Reply

    1. Hi Janie, I bet Alice has played at somebody’s palace – he’s been around for a very long time! 🙂 He is a good guy and, yes, highly articulate.

  18. I have not ever seen Alice Cooper in concert but judging by is music videos and live performances I’ve seen, he has an electric personality. It’s interesting if you take away the theatrics and he’s just a normal fella. 🙂 Excellent playlist for the Halloween season! Thanks for joining the dance party. Have a boogietastic week, my dear!

    1. Alice is the obvious choice for Halloween! 😀 His concerts are so much fun – Theatre of the Macabre. Nice to see you here, Mary. I’m not blogging as much anymore, but am otherwise fine. Hope you are doing well too.

  22. When I was a child in London we never celebrated Halloween, and knew little about it. So I grew up with no interest in it, and that remains to this day. I am aware that it is a very big deal in North America though.
    Best wishes, Pete.

    1. Hi Pete, it was the same in Germany. I was surprised to learn that most European countries have now embraced it. Yes, it is a big deal here. We had fun with it in our younger days – lots of parties, but now we ignore it and usually go out somewhere to avoid the whole thing. ? Ours is a quiet side street which doesn’t get much foot traffic anyway. Thanks for coming by!

  23. Hi Debbie!
    Good to see you out and about 😉 Try to make a habit of it, would ya? Like many of the comments I see here, I’m not a huge fan of his stage antics – or his pet snake – but Alice Cooper really is a cool guy 😉

    Reply

    1. Hi diedre! I know Alice isn’t everyone’s “cup of tea”, but it was Halloween, after all. 😉 Personally, I love his stage antics – Theatre of the Macabre! 😀 No snake though; maybe it’s been retired. Apart from that, he has an excellent catalogue of hard rock tunes. The new album is among his best work. Thanks for dropping in. I do plan on posting periodically for the rest of the year, then we’ll see how things go beyond that. Cheers!

  24. I’ve missed your posts and I’m sure others have as well.
    I saw Alice Cooper in concert sometime in the early 70’s. He headlined a concert that included Free and Todd Rundgren with the Hello People (loved that group!). It’s still among the better concerts I’ve seen.

    1. It’s nice to be missed. 🙂 That sounds like a great concert, too. I’m so glad we finally got the chance to see him. He really knows how to put on a show and the band was killer, especially Nita Strauss. She’s a direct descendant of classical composer Johann Strauss. Thanks for dropping in.

  25. You know, I don’t much like Alice Cooper’s music, but I find I really like him. He’s real down to earth and nothing like his stage persona. He was good friends with Glen Campbell, and to hear him talk about their friendship was pretty amazing. For two performers whose styles couldn’t be more different, they had a lot in common.

    Reply

    1. Yes, Vincent Fournier, the man behind the Alice Cooper makeup is a great guy, by all accounts. ☺️ I didn’t know about his friendship with Glen Campbell. Interesting! Thanks, John.

      Reply

    1. Hahaha! it probably is Janie. 🙂 I do want to come back, but need to get a better handle on time management. Thanks for dropping in and for the kind words.

  28. Hey Debbie! No Halloween is complete without a little Alice Cooper! Once a blogger, always a blogger. I knew you’d come back! 😉

    Reply

    1. Alice has always been a favourite of mine. In fact, right now, I”m watching him perform “The Ballad of Dwight Fry” on Jimmy Kimmel with Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters. 😀 Theatre of the Macabre! Love it! It really is hard to stay away from the Blogosphere and I want to come back, but better time management skills are needed. Thanks, Bren! 🙂

      1. I did not notice, the title of your blog referred to Alice Cooper, the singer. Or, maybe I did, but when I read where you are considering blogging again, in real time, I may have gotten a little emotional (on the happy side) and lost all train of thought.

        Reply

    1. I can imagine how entertaining that must have been, Lee. Jealous! I’d love to see him live, but so far, every time he was here, I was otherwise occupied and couldn’t go. Well, he’s still performing, so hopefully it’s not too late. 🙂

  31. LOVE Alice Cooper! It was great seeing Vincent Price with Alice. Classic horror. Vincent Price is the Prince of Horror, in my opinion. I hadn’t heard Feed My Frankenstein in eons! And wow, Stephen McCarthy’s video that he used was uber-creepy. That carnival music always creeps me out. It reminds me of “American Horror Story – Freakshow.” Did you watch that? And clowns! Don’t even get me started on how massively creepy clowns are. They make my skin crawl. Ew!

    Happy Halloween Debbie!

    1. Hi, Michele; Glad you enjoyed the post. It’s something from way back and I just added Stephen’s shared video to it. Definitely über creepy! 🙂 I haven’t seen “American Horror Story”, but it looks interesting. Isn’t Michael Chiklis in it? He’s good! So many people are disturbed by clowns. I wonder if that has anything to do with John Wayne Gacy, the serial killer who used to perform as a clown? Thanks for visiting and Happy Halloween to you, too.

      Reply

      1. Yes, Michael Chiklis is in it. He’s sooo good. I loved him in that cop show that he did. I can’t recall the name off the top of my head though but I watched it faithfully. RE: clowns: maybe it does have to do with Wayne Gacy, or maybe that just adds to it. I was afraid of clowns before the Wayne Gacy case though. I was also freaked out by marionettes when I was a kid. Are you doing anything fun tonight? I’m going to turn the lights out and pretend not to be home, while I secretly make jewelry. 🙂

        Reply

        1. The Shield. I loved that show too and watched it faithfully. I also liked his short-lived series, “Vegas”. Too bad it got cancelled so soon. Didn’t you love his last line on Sons of Anarchy? 😀 There’s definitely an element of creepiness with clowns, but I was never bothered by it. We always ignore Halloween too and usually go out for a few hours, or yes, pretend we’re not home. Today, we’re going to a late afternoon movie – “Burnt” – and dinner afterwards. I love your jewellery! You have a real talent for that, Michele. Hope you get lots of sales!

          Reply

          1. Oo, remind me what his final line was in SOA? I can’t remember. I’m old! 🙂
            You’ll have to let me know how Burnt is. I love Bradley Cooper!
            Thanks for the compliment on my jewelry. I hope I have lots of sales too! Working on a promotion right now as a matter of fact…
            Have fun tonight!

  32. I have this CD and hubby and I love singing along to it. Alice Cooper was always a favorite and many memories of yesteryear come flooding back when his music plays! Great Halloween choices! Happy Halloween!

    1. Hi, Yolanda; Alice Cooper is the perfect choice for Halloween, isn’t he? 😀 I’m glad you enjoyed the selection. Happy Halloween to you, too.

  34. With respect to you, Debbie, I will comment but I hate the ugly side of Halloween. When my kids were little I enjoyed their cute costumes and trick or treating. Now, I enjoy handing out candy to the little kids — beyond that, I don’t get it and want no part of it.

    Reply

    1. Hi Carol; By ugly, do you mean the sickos who put razor blades in candy, etc.? With you there! We don’t do anything for Halloween either, but it was fun when we were younger. Lots of costume parties. This just gives me an excuse to post some videos. Alice Cooper is at his campy best, here. 🙂
