@nostalgia43 Sadly Alice got back on alcohol for a long time there after the "From The Inside" album and was critically malnourished. He almost died in the hospital from just not eating anything, he was drinking constantly again. Glad he found help in his wife and family and they got him help in time! Alice is a legend!!
I don't think it's a change for the better, but it's still fascinating to hear the "Roadie" version of this song...the raw, staccato guitar sound distances it quite a bit from the original. Also, it's quite odd to see him perform it without the short-haired, militaristic look he modelled for the FTF cover.
Incidentally, I think the original version of Pain is a real forgotten gem in Alice's repertoire...excellent vocal, excellent melody, and one of the best lyrics he ever wrote.
@garethac81 I agree - This version was a departure form the original, but if you've ever seen this movie, you'd know why. The film is bizarre and maybe a C+ at best, but it does have some outstanding scenes. And I agree that 'Pain' was one of Alice Cooper's most under-rated, uncelebrated hits - Much better than 'Schools Out'
@ldybby no he fell from about 30 feet landed on his head. was pushed into limmo where blondie and her band was ridding and looked really out of it and a band member asked him i will have 5$ of what ever u r on
@Jetmechanic001 this song was on flush the fashion but he looks way too healthy either from befor or after he is so thin and sickley looking when flush the fassion came out. it was either quite drinking or die he wrote flush the fashion in mental hospital no good rehape programs
@Jetmechanic001 flush the fashion is my favorite alice cooper record .i know a littla about it .yes i quess so,evon in the record that followed special forces he looked like death.
That's Danny Johnston the blond haired dude on guitar the original Elton John guitarist. I really liked the album Flush the Fashion when it came out, and still do. Alice went new wave for a bit and it was fun. He is so skinny here.
Meatloaf? how in THE HELL! did that guy EVER get famous, His "singing" sucks, His Band sucks, his songs are stupid. HE HATES ALICE???????????????????????? An Ant looking at Man and contemplating power!

I don't like the new CD Along came a turd, It sounds like crap
except for 2 songs and they are sll digitally distorted, why people put out cds with the meters clipping in the red I will never know.
Cmon Alice call up Micheal Bruce before it's too late and write some good stuff!
