ALICE COOPER - 18 - CLASSIC VIDEO

[Deetroiter]

At :28 and :35 you can tell those alcoholic demons are haunting him. He just looks vile, angry and not all there

[maysguy]

today's my eighteenth bday!

[LouieLandsCandyTreat]

Now THAT is Rock N' Roll......Powerful performance..

[Schimmel1972]

I remember this vid displayed on a base bar wall when i was in the Navy in 1990. Outstanding then, outstanding now.

[lisaleeharpwaugh]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE VERSION!

[SuzieGriss]

Thanks for the Share dollface..............love and peace brother

[RadioStarSF2]

In 2006 Alice's daughter Calico Cooper starred in the motion picture Puppy which has become a cult classic home and abroad (Europe). We had the honor of creating the theme song for this cult classic. Hope you enjoy this as much as we did making it!

[jindigger]

This guy started all of shock rock

[theruskinarms]

Anyone know when this was recorded?

[TheManonfire1988]

@theruskinarms I believe in St. Louis in 1971.

[Henry8544]

@theruskinarms

'I'm eighteen' is from the 1971 album Love It To Death.

[ericd727]

Imagine Manson coming out of the 1950's. That's what Alice Cooper did. Notice the female / male name?

[buckhogg55]

I saw Alice Cooper in Huntington West Virginia during the 'School's Out Tour' and this was the version of I'm 18 that they did. Love the My myyyyy intro and the outro. I later got to see the new band on the Welcome to My Nightmare tour in Cincinnati. There is no better show than an Alice Cooper show. Love em to death, still, and am now 57 years old.

[redneck6310]

Unlike kiss.... not to many 6yr olds attended alice concerts!! lol

[terriner]

I've been a fan since Love it to Death. First saw AC in Houston in 1973 for the Billion Dollar Babies Tour. I was actually 18 when they did this song at the show. Favorite memory - seeing AC on the first episode of a tv show called In Concert. My dad, a veteran of 3 wars & not a great fan of rock n roll at the time, looked at the band & said: "That guy's got a good act!"

[RockyWhyNott]

My theme song back when I was 16.

XX

[09hanley]

I think he meant aged seven

[motoxxx174]

I first started listing to Alice Cooper in 1973 at age 7 I didn't fully understand the lyrics at the time but I knew there was something sinister and dangerous about them....still love Alice Cooper to this day...the early stuff is still my favourite...Killer was a fantastic album....what ever happened to real music?

[cementmixer909]

@motoxxx174 Wow, you were 71 years old in 1973 and listening to Alice Cooper? You truly were ahead of your time! And now you listen to music on youtube. You are awesome dude. Glad to see you're still alive.

[jr55ful]

@cementmixer909 can you be a dyslexic typist?

[ClassicRockfan79]

@motoxxx174 do you mean you were age 17 when you started listing to Alice cooper in 1973? because if you were 71 in 1973, that makes you 108 years old now. Or are you a ghost speaking to us from the beyond? anything is possible when it comes to Alice Cooper and his fans, so who knows. lol  ALICE RULES!

[MistressRebekah]

@guyverunit1 You're thinking of mainstream music. And this is what I was saying: In those times, it was not easy to get music that wasn't mainstream. Thanks to the internet, we can do that now. So, when you say "today's music", that includes so much more than what you hear when you turn on the radio.

[brianallancobb]

This song was released when I was seventeen.

Could I relate?

Oh, yeah.

[margovallen]

Alice Cooper is the REAL-DEAL...... and all others that took his idea and tried to run with it.. ALL SUCK........ Kiss, Marilyn Manson....... the whole lot!!!!!

Not to mention the fact that these musicians were much, much better players... playing with feel and what sounded good in lieu of trying to show off their chops on every boring tune.

[twistedteddybear]

he's fucking trashed... i love it! <3 hahaha

im 19 and i still listen to the stuff my folks did

music in my generation is naff - its gotten all poncey and nice again

need a band to make things nasty and scary again - to leave a PROPER mark

[goinghustler]

Amazing RIFF !!!!!!!!

[nonzero123]

i'm amazed that alice is in a drunken delirium and yet always makes his mark on time the band obvious aware of his condition seems so nonchalant just knowing alice will come thru each time - funny as hell- but only because alice is now sober and still around

[icegirl71388]

Alice Cooper is awesome, sorry but Marilyn Manson can't hold a candle to him!!

[singertom]

So true!

[soundsarama]

37 years ago on 10 NOv 1972 saw Alice Cooper in Green's Playhouse, Glasgow, Scotland (his only UK gig) - one of the best nights of my life.xx

[mypetscorner]

@soundsarama

I was also there at Greens playhouse that night in 1972 - remember it well - was my first ever concert.

Seen Alice about 40 times since - he is the best thing since sliced bread

[sharonspaintings]

i love this song!!! and his pants!!!!

[kelvinkloud]

at this point in his career, these guys were a true menace to the established order... talk about a group out to burn the hippie scene to the ground, these guys were hit... predated punk.... copper was nastier then jim morrison, more real then bowie & creepier then lou reed.

[1960unclemort]

@kelvinkloud he once described the group as a dagger in the heart of the love generation

[roxiestar74]

Love the Wonder Woman shirt.

[rbk306]

It's freedom in the purest sence.

[rbk306]

get out

[mnmn59]

mom and dad got me drinkin whiskey lol thats the 70's

[roxiestar74]

Especially since the drinking age was 18 in some States.

[KIDAmnesiacBends]

yea, even though a lot of 18 year olds drink whisky nowadays

[roxiestar74]

I don't doubt that, I started drinking when I was 15. Lots of teens drink both now and then. But I was pointing out that the legal drinking age back then was 18 in some places and that definitely puts a new spin on the song.

[toecutterr6]

Great song, even better live!

[mjc455]

this was a great band !!

[beanso68]

cool version. what show is this from?

[lucifer898]

music hasent been good since what? the early to mid 90's? only a few good bands like Korn? Led Zeppelin, Alice cooper, Nirvana All that good shit is gone

[guyverunit1]

Man do i Miss good bands and good music....my generation blows this generation blows and music, seems to be dead

[daveplosivo]

@guyverunit1 Be careful not to be too quick to judge music of an entire generation. Theres always music you haven't heard right? I don't by any means completely disagree with you though.

[MistressRebekah]

@guyverunit1 That really depends on who you listen to...in your day (provided Alice Cooper was "your day") you were limited. Now, anyone can listen to music from anywhere in the world. Your young adulthood was not the same as young adulthood now.

[guyverunit1]

@MistressRebekah Lol alice cooper isn't my generation if you mean 1970's. Anyone can listen to anything thats right...we have these things called ears. Anyways my point is music now is pretty much dead (thats right sorry to say but emo and lady gaga are not music). There arent no real legends in music for the past 20 years (there are few) compared to the 80s, 70s, 60s, and even bobby holly and the 50s.

[guyverunit1]

@guyverunit1 The last couple decades have really been shit for rock and roll...people try but just cant bring anything to the table. Tenacious D is wicked but wouldnt really call them rock and roll legends

[austingunsmoke]

@guyverunit1 I hear what you're sayin' bro but it's not just music...it's a whole lot of stuff concerning media that has become so artificial.American society as well...I ride the bus a lot where I live and when I get on I'd say 80% of the people are zoned out pushing little buttons texting or have an earpiece full blast in their ear...no one says hello,barely no one talks to each other,it's really a different,frantic,dellusional world of self gratification.Early Cooper was so real/awesome,Later

[Fulbor]

@guyverunit1 i saw alice cooper this year so the music still exists

[guyverunit1]

@Fulbor yes but now its very very old.

[thearchiveable]

@guyverunit1

Fault of the radiostations and record labels.

[051susan]

@guyverunit1 -So do I!!! this generation has NO idea what "Good Rock N Roll music even is!!

[zombiechoir]

Classic band at their best - Pissed as newtsas well by the look of it. Fabulous stuff.
