Alice Cooper - Alma Mater

[guimine]

After "Killer" this was it... we would have to wait until Marylin Manson for something more shocking and disturbing....

[dissent88]

Thumbs up if you are the class of 2012, listening to this song. :)

[Illuminati10101]

Niel Smith bitch that Camelback was mentioned in the song but not his school,..so they had to ad Cortez High School.

Note: I never went to High School,..I went to School High! :)

[DiogoAlmeida95]

wow... the end of the lyrics are sad, because that actually happens... out of sigh out of mind, sad but true....

[RumpLeINtiLINsKinnIN]

fuck the one person who disliied this

[ty3165]

i remember listening to this on my first acid trip

[MrAlpixoid]

Remember the Coop,huh ?

[KingFatBurger]

SUCH A  GOOD SONG.

[bobbyboy551958]

My brother went to Camelback in Phoenix.

[crescentfreshbret]

Doesn't their drummer, Neil Smith, sing this one?

[Triumph72]

@crescentfreshbret No no no, that's Alice!

[rememberthecoop1]

@crescentfreshbret No it's Alice.

[GoatBeach]

Ha Ha ...the pink panties around the album. I had those for years.

[9roil]

[candywood91601]

In the end of the day I will say goodbye to my school and my friends

[cvoborny]

didn't the original band become white tiger?

[Augenstein]

Today was my final day of highschool... And it was just so hard to walk home today. I always thought I would be so happy when this day came, but... In some ways, I almost feel like crying. Heh.

[Snystrom2]

Lol, my high school.



[sm0kindatg00d]

well i dont think mrs.axelrod was much impressed...

[SoulofAsgard]

THE BEST ALBUM.

[r800rt]

Alice wrote the soundtrack to my life.

[willBassforFood]

deep

[machone7I]

So much people telling how Alice cooper was part of their youth makes me think i was born in the wrong time and place...

Great song, one of their best, shame it's so unpopular.

[nrkizt]

@machone7I I feel bad for the young people in this country that did not have the oppurtunities and the fun I had being late teen in those years1969 - 1978

[Invadermat616]

It reminds of a WB Character Madelyn Spaulding.

[jimpster2007]

i played this tune when i left my high school 1976

[ejs1959]

AWESOME. Memories of listening to this for the first time in '72. Just blown away before I really even had a full grasp of what it all meant.

[Triumph72]

This is the feeling every kid who ever said "I can't wait to be out of this school!" had...then realized how much they'd miss it.

[MephProduction]

@Triumph72  Nah not all of us, for some School was the worse time our lives :(

[Triumph72]

@MephProduction Well yeah, sure. But there is a tinge of sadness every time a chapter in your life passes. Means we're getting older and one day closer to death. Cheery thought of the day for ya!

[MephProduction]

@Triumph72 Well then make sure your life is full of sadness and you'll not notice the difference.. ;)  But new chapters can be exciting.

[spikeman316]

@Triumph72 Absolutely...man, always hear this song makes me feel nostalgic

[RAYZORification]

"Remember when we took that Snake, and put it down little Betsy's dress" ??.....HEHEHEHE

The first time I saw Alice was in Seattle in 1969 at the Paramount Northwest.....I was 12 years old...Love the man.....

[TacomaPaul]

@RAYZORification Seattle '72 for me !  And every year since.

[slowuroll2000]

@RAYZORification was 14,when 18 first came out, he got hung in that one.

[cookmoore]

thank you!

[ortizclaudio]

i hear you,,kirbygene...same feelings here

[kirbygene]

The day of my High School graduation I played this song over and over in the mid-70s. It really conveys how I felt at the time, trying to be a cool stoner guy but still having sad feelings about finally leaving school.

[Crewdawgsniece]

I heard this for the first time tonight on Alice's show... kind of sad since i love alice cooper... but anyways... I have finally reached my senior year and this song was too perfect. I couldn't help but fall in love with it ;)

[kristiney1970]

Too cool...Camelback H.S. is my Alma Mater...

[1967pinkfloyd]

great song

[CezzCooper]

Well, this is unbelievable, I completly HATE the school I used to go [now I moved, starting to dislike the new one too] but this song actually touched me, and now I can't stop listening to it.

[JiraiyaXXX]

i graduated from Camelback High School!!! Hell yeah!!!

[lloorr111]

[docterphreak]

The first time my dad and I heard this was on Alice's radio show, and my after it was over my dad said: "Wow; that was alot of music for one song."

[javaman64]

you have no idea how many catholic school desks me and my friends decorated with that heart & dagger! thanks for posting this album!!!!

[lloorr11]

i cry every time i hear this~~~~~~~~i love u alice~~!

[seanozep]

Amazing, Only Alice could have pulled this off

[MrBuzwuzcuz]

@seanozep

Not Alice but Neal Smith, the drummer...Who is from Camelback...He kinda put the song together, and of course Vince put his angst and feelings into it... Many years of this...

[seanozep]

@MrBuzwuzcuz I meant the vocals :L

[MrMalakkii]

@MrBuzwuzcuz Vince went to cortez highschool... hence the reason Cortez is throw in there as well

[fizzylipstick]

I love it!

[RDonez]

I played this album until the damn grooves began to turn white from wear.....

[sgttangerine]

[kodifeeder]

Great song! Thanks for posting!
