From Wiki:
Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier;
February 4, 1948)[1] is an American rock singer,
songwriter and musician whose career spans more
than four decades. With a stage show that features
guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, boa
constrictors and baby dolls, Cooper has drawn
equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage
rock to pioneer a grandly theatrical and violent
brand of heavy metal that was designed to
shock.[2]
Alice Cooper was originally a band consisting of
Furnier on vocals and harmonica, lead guitarist
Glen Buxton, Michael Bruce on rhythm guitar,
Dennis Dunaway on bass guitar, and drummer Neal
Smith. The original Alice Cooper band broke into
the international music mainstream with 1971's
monster hit "I'm Eighteen" from the album Love it
to Death, which was followed by the even bigger
single "School's Out" in 1972. The band reached
their commercial peak with the 1973 album Billion
Dollar Babies.
Furnier's solo career as Alice Cooper, adopting
the band's name as his own name, began with the
1975 concept album Welcome to My Nightmare. In
2008 he released Along Came a Spider, his 18th
solo album. Expanding from his original Detroit
rock roots, over the years Cooper has experimented
with many different musical styles, including
conceptual rock, art rock, hard rock, new wave,
pop rock, experimental rock and industrial
rock.[3] In recent times he has returned more to
his garage rock roots.[4]
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".[5] 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".[6] Away from music, Cooper
is a film actor, a golfing celebrity, a
restaurateur and, since 2004, a popular radio DJ
with his classic rock show Nights with Alice
Cooper.
On VH1's "100 Greatest artists of Hard Rock",
Cooper was ranked #20.[7].
Alice Cooper’s Greatest Hits 1974
Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits is a greatest hits
album by Alice Cooper, released in 1974. It
features the hit singles and some B-sides of songs
from their third album (Love It to Death) to the
last album with the band's original lineup (Muscle
of Love).
This compilation's song versions were remixed by
Jack Richardson at the time, with the remix of
"I'm Eighteen" being released as a single in the
US. The reason behind remixing the songs was
perhaps to boost its appeal as "new" versions
because no new tracks were available for inclusion
by the group as they were on hiatus at the
time.
This compilation was expanded upon when, in 2001,
Rhino released Mascara & Monsters: The Best of
Alice Cooper, which includes the original Single
versions of the songs in addition to a number of
Cooper's post-1974 hits as a solo artist, filling
up the entire CD.
