Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier, February 4, 1948 in Detroit, Michigan) is a rock singer and musician whose career has lasted nearly five decades. He is often referred to as the founder of shock rock due to his gory, theatrical performances. Cooper’s music influenced many musicians and helped shape the sound of punk rock and early heavy metal. The original Alice Cooper band played mostly garage rock with a shock rock image. Since the beginning of Cooper’s solo career in 1974, he has experimented with many different musical styles. These include art rock, hard rock, new wave, psychedelic rock, disco, hair metal and industrial metal. |
