Desperado by Alice Cooper

[WIStreetKings]

Probably one of the most underrated songs EVER!!! I love AC.

[thedude854]

This song is just so cool.

[1gravityann]

im not the biggest alice cooper fan there is but one of my most favorite albums is killer by alice cooper. i like the whole ablum. i bought it when first came out years ago and i still liston to it.

[karlmoles65]

@1gravityann My favorite album of his by far.

[frank02111]

Since i was 8 yrs old I have been facinated with Wyatt herp Doc Holiday, the OK Corral. I must of seen at least 7 differant films about them .This video is kinda of accurate. It depicks the Herps as more criminal then lawman. Damm someday I am gonna take off from Boston and go to TOMBSTONE !!! giddy up giddy upp!!get my spurs and 6 shooter here we go again!!

[karlmoles65]

@frank02111 Just thought 'd let you know it's Earp, not Herp. And thanks for the comment!

[Skulldini]

And no, I honestly can't say that I've ever seen Jim Morison in this song just from hearing it. In fact, I had no idea of THAT until I heard Alice state it in an interview .

[Skulldini]

Fuck Tombstone ( of all flicks )!! Someone should set THIS song to the movie El Topo!! I even suspect that particular lyric "I wear lace and black leather. My hands are lightning on my gun" was inspired by THAT flick. And, of course, any old Eastwood classic ( Fistfull of Dollars, Hang em High, Good the Bad and the Ugly ) would be really cool with this song too .

[karlmoles65]

@Skulldini Tombstone's awesome. It has more great lines that nay movie outside if Jaws. I love all the ones you mentioned though.

[Dukesfan1980]

you can really hear morrison in this song... alice did great on the vocals

[karlmoles65]

@Dukesfan1980 Indeed, well said.

[karlmoles65]

@Dukesfan1980 I hope you're a fan of the Duke Blue Devils, and not David Duke, lol

[Dukesfan1980]

@karlmoles65 lol Dukes of Hazzard...

[karlmoles65]

@Dukesfan1980 Haha, nice.

[Dukesfan1980]

@karlmoles65 yeah and also a big Alice Cooper, Zob Zombie, and Ozzy fan..  thats a hell of a mix isnt it? lol

[karlmoles65]

@Dukesfan1980 Good mix, I like all three as well, my all time fave band is Black Sabbath.

[Dukesfan1980]

@karlmoles65 what about early Kiss, like 74-77?

[karlmoles65]

@Dukesfan1980 Love em, huge fan.

[Dukesfan1980]

@karlmoles65 me too, ive collected all kinds of kiss stuff. ive got stuff that dates from the 70s-- now.. i met ace back in 2000 on the farwell tour, got some autographs and pics.

[karlmoles65]

@Dukesfan1980 Can't say I've met Ace, you're lucky. Though I did see KISS on their first reunion tour and got to be part of a biker brawl in a Denny's afterwards which was rather memorable, lol

[Dukesfan1980]

@karlmoles65 ace was a nice guy, made a few little funny comments, other than that kinda quiet. but i saw kiss on the reunion tour twice, three times on the farwell tour, because at that point i thaught it was the last kiss tour ever, even for gene and paul.. lol... and then saw them one time on the rock the nation tour in 2004 with eric and tommy, thats the last time ive seen them. but dennys, lol thats wild. only trouble ive ever seen at dennys here is rude old people getting in the way.

[karlmoles65]

@Dukesfan1980 Pretty awesome you've seen em that many times. The band I have seen the most would have to be Rush at 8 times. The one I wish I had seen is Led Zeppelin. I'm not surprised Ace is cool, he's by far my favorite of the four.

[Dukesfan1980]

@karlmoles65 heres one of my dennys deals. last year we were going to see Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper. we had floor tickets where you could stand anywhere you wanted on the floor we were in a hurry to get the very front, but got hungry,went to dennys, a really old guy passed 4 people at the checkout was mad saying he hated his food, so they were taking forever subtracting discounts, then he paid in change and counted it slowly 2 times held the line up forever lol. but we still got a good spot.

[karlmoles65]

@Dukesfan1980 That sounds really annoying, haha.

[Dukesfan1980]

@karlmoles65 it was for sure, but people let him pass because he was old. ok so now what about comic books ? u like them ? i collect silver and bronze age marvel....

[karlmoles65]

@Dukesfan1980 Oh man, now you're talking my language. I have my collection still from when I was a kid, all Marvel, all 60s 70s and 80s. HUGE X-Men fanatic, big fan of Spidey, the Midnight Sons, all of it. What great stuff.

[MrMechanicjoe]

@karlmoles65 my dad did to im only 11 i told my friends to subcribe you and i hope they will :D

[Dukesfan1980]

@karlmoles65 cool bro. always nice to hear from other marvel fans. i was born in 1980, started collecting in 86. but then i started seeing old comics from the 60s and 70s and loved them, so i started collecting older comics, and been hooked on them from then on. Spidey, Hulk, Capt America, Avengers, X Men, and so on. but for some reason the DC art never caught my attention, but i do collect Superman and Batman.

[karlmoles65]

@Dukesfan1980 I was 14 in '80. It was a very good year. Good start to a great decade. I'm a fan of all the titles you mentioned. And I am about the same with DC. Have you read any of the old Midnight Sons Marvel books like Ghost Rider or Blade? They were awesome.

[CHBinAsheville]

I grew up with this, I had all of his albums up to Billion Dollar Babies.

[karlmoles65]

@CHBinAsheville Alice's best era, by far.

[Foldisfitch]

Funny thing...some of the VERY best songs on YouTube have few listens compared to some of the VERY worst.

[karlmoles65]

@Foldisfitch This is sadly true. 

[karlmoles65]

@Foldisfitch I blame sheeple syndrome, bleat.

[lynnou69]

I love you Alice and the guy who made this video you are so genius and i love this video :)

[karlmoles65]

@lynnou69 Wow, haha, thanks a lot :)

[jindigger]

He wrote this song for jim morrison

[karlmoles65]

@jindigger For the 778th time...Thank You, I know.

[blinkingoutside]

This video matches this song so perfectly. Well done!

[karlmoles65]

@blinkingoutside Thank you, after all the crying and whining I've heard about Jim Morrison you comment is a lovely breath of fresh air.

[DoctorCatface]

I would say this is one of my favorite AC songs. Its just perfect in so many ways.

[karlmoles65]

@DoctorCatface It's my all time favorite easily. Several others are fantastic, but this one's just special. Killer is by far my fave AC album as well.

[IAM4031]

All smiles here! 

[karlmoles65]

@IAM4031 All thanks here!

[johnnyhoye]

i remember now this was dedicated to jim morrison on a live version that i didnt realy care for because it didnt sound like the killer virsion to much the killer one is the coolest. if ya listen to riders on the storm then listen to deaperado he sounds like morrison im a killer and im a clown then the alice copper comes out of him which makes it so cool step in to the street by sundown step in to your last good bye

[USAProudMom]

Well done!



[karlmoles65]

@USAProudMom Thank you much:)

[johnnyhoye]

i tried emailin ya but i guess it faild that makes me go hmmm to

[karlmoles65]

@johnnyhoye I didn't get anything, maybe try again?

[johnnyhoye]

this song was a tribute to jim morrison at one time if i aint mistakin

[karlmoles65]

@johnnyhoye MmmHmmm

[johnnyhoye]

this song just makes me want to go out and kill someone for twenty bucks ha ha ha just kidding

[karlmoles65]

@johnnyhoye Haha, for sure

[frank02111]

I amalso a big fan of the west .The ok corral ,Doc Holliday, Wyatt Herp. I have seen every movie about them. I will go to Tomstone someday I have always wanted to sit at the sanme tables and chairs were them guys drank sand gammbled. I am now in AA. I have found out That Wyatt herp never drank. This no doubt gave himm aconsiderable sdge when you fire your weapon against a bunch of drunk cowboys!!

[frank02111]

When he sings 20,oo will make you die. is that a referance to Heroin. I had heard that cooper had devoted this song to his late freind Jim Morrison ?

[karlmoles65]

@frank02111 That very well could be one of, or even the main meaning, yes. 

[frank02111]

@karlmoles65 Actually it is. I saw an interview with Alice Cooper he was freinds with Jim Morrson. He ahad adopted the leather pants like so many other rock stars. I rember Alice cooper had noted how shocked he was to see Jim get high . He saide he would take 10 differant kinds of pills swallow them down like candy. Alice cooper was young then and he did say the song DESPERADO is a tribute to his late freinf Jim Morrsion!

[jbarons1]

@frank02111

So interesting to know that little tidbit! Jim Morrison is another great one....nice to know they met & were friends...I can so totally see that! ;) Thanks for the education on that one...love Alice Cooper as well listened to him from way back when - - as a young girl - - some...uh....30 years ago (I'm only 44) been loving this shit for many many years! ENJOY!

[fezzie666]

slash A+ and alice A+

[karlmoles65]

@fezzie666 And Slash (Who is massively overrated btw, but that's neither here nor there) has what to do with this again?

[HaulinHearse]

@karlmoles65 I loved GnR but Slash is the most overrated guitarist ever.

[karlmoles65]

@HaulinHearse And indeed, you are correct. 

[Metalbob011]

Great!

[9roil]

neal smith groovin on the 3rd verse. dennis rules

[pkrwd]

good job

[karlmoles65]

@pkrwd Thank you, and thanks to all for all the views, comments, and ratings

[maddog357ful]

Wow, what an outstanding job u did with this! Probably my favorite A/C song with clips from 2 of my favorite westerns. Thnx.

[karlmoles65]

@maddog357ful Thank You.

[JessieJames09100]

This video sync is awesome. Tombstone is my favorite western.

[karlmoles65]

@JessieJames09100 Thank You. It's near the top for me

[MrMechanicjoe]

I LOVE YOUR VID I MADE A NEW CHANNEL MY OTHER GOT HACKED SO I COULD SUB YOU AGAIN!

[karlmoles65]

@MrMechanicjoe Glad you're back, sorry you got hacked though.

[MrMechanicjoe]

@karlmoles65 its ok information still last like subs i dont know my pass anymore every time i change its changed again the next second maybe youtube pass changer?

[karlmoles65]

@MrMechanicjoe That sounds like a real pain in the ass, sorry

[MrMechanicjoe]

@karlmoles65 No need too because Im subbing the BEST youtube person ever TWICE!

[karlmoles65]

@MrMechanicjoe You're awesome!

[MrMechanicjoe]

@karlmoles65 1 person is JEALOUS of you

[karlmoles65]

@MrMechanicjoe I'm sure it was that one nibtard I had a fight with

[MrMechanicjoe]

@karlmoles65 Lol Hes still jealous of you watch a message too all hater from nigahiga

[MrMechanicjoe]

@karlmoles65 Im sure it is

[Syzygy60]

very nice sync I like

[karlmoles65]

@Syzygy60 Thank You

[BobbyR454]

The song was inspired by the character played by Robert Vaughn in "The Magnificent Seven" and there is not one clip in this from "The Magnificent Seven."

[karlmoles65]

@BobbyR454 There's none to be had. Some films are locked up tight by copywright lawyers. That's one of em, cause I wanted several of the scenes from it. But you gotta work with what you can in this PC day and age,

[smithjj6]

i think he sounds like jim morrison

[karlmoles65]

@smithjj6 Jim and Alice? I can't hear that one myself.

[smithjj6]

@karlmoles65 only certain parts in the song not in general

[karlmoles65]

@smithjj6 Gotcha.

[gblack1441]

@smithjj6 Alice wrote this song for Jim Morrison

[79mojorisin]

this as originally written for jim morrison.

[HARDROCKISAWESOME]

1:45 was young guns, an 80s western movie, awesome movie and one of my fav alice songs

[karlmoles65]

@HARDROCKISAWESOME Exactamundo. 

[jdhj25]

tombstone, your no hucklberry

[karlmoles65]

@jdhj25 Wretched slugs, will none of you fight for blood?

[doner6961]

i love Alice cooper.

just got me two tickets to see him in brum uk!

not seen him for 25 years!

cant wait!!

[samsmumable]

ps...and since I have been trawling, I have found DD again,. still musically active, in bettter health, and lookin' good ! no long hair, but not bad for a fellow in his 60s. I was very pleased to find him again .

[samsmumable]

I was agreat Aliice Cooper band fan back in the early 1970s, when I was 12, 13, 14...My mother was not impressed. But I still have Love it to Death, Billion Dollar Babies and Killer (LPs, on vinyl). BDB was a present for my 13th birthday and I will never get rid of it. I also had a massive crush on Dennis Dunaway:) He had very long hair and was extremely beautiful,. so I thought. I even grew my hair long as a sort of weird teenage tribute :) happy days xx

[karlmoles65]

@samsmumable Thank you for the great story!

[mar7113]

@samsmumable I thought Dennis Dunaway was cute too. :o)

[samsmumable]

@mar7113 - he still is in a very much older way :) I have been finding out. The last time I checked him over was in 1999, when I found out that Glen Buxton had died a couple of years earlier. I wish I still had a poster to put on my bedroom wall ! But I don't think my husband would be too impressed. Maybe we never really grow up.. xx

[TheClam88]

@samsmumable Buxton has to be one of the mopst underrated guitarists in rock&roll. He wrote or co-wrote alotta stuff for the band.

[samsmumable]

@TheClam88 i don't know much about music really., but I'd like to think I know a good lead guitarists when I . hear one :) ! and you can tell he was. Some of the stuff on BDB is awesome:) I thought so when I was 13 and still do now - GB's made his mark and will never be forgotten.

[evilemperordude]

@samsmumable Funny thing is I bet very few parents today would be concerned about their kids listening to Cooper today. Barring his on-stage theatrics, his music seems relatively tame. Still rocks though.

[arsus12]

Great song and well fitting video. And if you really like Heep also, you're somewhat like me. Their tour together was a must to see. I saw them in Helsinki.

[karlmoles65]

@arsus12 Love Heep as well. Lucky you!

[EviscerationK]

Loved this song since I was 6, Alice got me into rock, and for that I thank him.

[karlmoles65]

@EviscerationK And thank you, for the great comment!

[RadioStarSF2]

In 2006 Calico Cooper, daughter of Alice 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!

[187sabbath]

What movie is this?

[karlmoles65]

@187sabbath Once Upon A Time In The West, The Wild Bunch, Tombstone, Young Guns, The Long Riders, Unforgiven

[TheSection59]

one thumb done must the one in the dust :-)

[sheldonscottmcc]

Sorry people, this video has nothing to do with the song....Pretty sure the song came out long before the video shots... Alice along with Uriah Heep were way ahead of thier time.. Killer, Love it to death, welcome to my nightmare, etc....Are and deserve to be Rock N Roll Hall of fame Classics..

[karlmoles65]

@sheldonscottmcc Sorry to you but if you can't add up the imagery with the lyrics you have a mental deficiency. I am getting pretty sick of AC fanboys that can't get over the Morrison angle,

Otherwise totally agreed with the rest of your statement.

[Jackstraw1000]

This is one of my very favourite Alice Cooper songs....from an amazing album that still holds up today. As for the movie clips...thanks for those...I especially love the final scenes from Young Guns...and Val Kilmer was awesome in Tombstone.

[karlmoles65]

@Jackstraw1000 Killer is by far my fave Alice Cooper album. To me only Love It To Death and maybe Billion Dollar Babies are even near Killer's level.

And you're welcome. A lot of people have whined at me about Jim Morrison, and yeah I knew long before I made the video what the song was about, but if anyone can't see that the imagery fits the lyrics here well..

[sheldonscottmcc]

@Jackstraw1000 , Dude this movie has nothing to do with alice...

Wake the F up....

[animascat]

song is great video sucks.

[karlmoles65]

@animascat You'd know, since you're the expert on sucking.

[animascat]

@karlmoles65 ouch! that stings. actually, i recognize the movie, tombstone. that was a good movie. BANAL, is much more accurate than SUCKS. keep trying.

[karlmoles65]

@animascat Take your stupidity, and your pathetic, suckass, good for nothing shitty tastes and opinions and fuck off. Ta ta.

[MrMechanicjoe]

@animascat You suck

[1690blueboy]

@1690blueboy Thanks so much

[pkrwd]

[mechanicjoe]

[karlmoles65]

[mechanicjoe]

@karlmoles65 thanks man ive ben showing your vids to all my friends they all loved it! they do not have a youtube account

[jacob7inch]

[karlmoles65]

@deadredmetal1 Thank You!

[mrianmark]

I photographed Alice in 1975 and 1977. To see the shots go to ianmarkmusicphotos (.com)

[karlmoles65]

@mrianmark Awesome! thanks for the link!

[williejenkins666]

A "priest that's gone to town" could have threw a shot from Pale Rider. :)

[karlmoles65]

@williejenkins666 Yeah, that would have fit as well.

[jeffreygaudreault]

 This song rox cox!! HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!

[HearingLossProvider]

Gotta love Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday!

[karlmoles65]

@HearingLossProvider Best role of his career.

[Geotools]

Hey, great song and a great video to go with the song. Love it. Thanks.  I don't care if there is STRETCH in any direction Hahaha. Relax and enjoy. Thanks for the great work and your time spent.

[karlmoles65]

@Geotools You're very welcome, thank you for the kind comment!

[Rogerrumjet]

Love the song, love the concept of this video,,,HATE that most clips are the wrong aspect ratio, Can't stand seeing scenes that are S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D either horizontally, or vertically.

[karlmoles65]

@Rogerrumjet Sorry. James Cameron I ain't. Glad you enjoyed the concept though.

[karlmoles65]

@Rogerrumjet I am not a tech geek so I am unsure what you mean, sorry.

[Rogerrumjet]

@karlmoles65 Watch this video guy...you don't need to be a tech geek to see the problem, you just need a pair of working eyes.

[karlmoles65]

@Rogerrumjet Really? I must be missing it then. 

[mechanicjoe]

@Rogerrumjet lol what do you mean by S-T-R-E-C-H-E-D?

[mechanicjoe]

@Rogerrumjet I think this is a flawless 5 star video so seeing the word HATE is a really a weird thing.

[u24evernalways]

Hmmm, must say I do prefer his heavier stuff, tasteful song and good lyrics though.

[karlmoles65]

@u24evernalways I like some of his heavier stuff too. I'd like to think of a concept for a Halo Of Flies vid.

[karlmoles65]

That's one of my favorite scenes in the whole movie.

[sunchilde68]

nice !!! I like it...the visuals work well with the feel of the song... I love when Val is edging the guy on while the guy is walking shooting blindly...

[sunchilde68]

nice !!! I like it...the visuals work well with the feel of the song... I love when he is edging the guy on while he is walking shooting blindly...

[karlmoles65]

@sunchilde68 That's one of my favorite scenes in the film! And thank you.

[capesemo54]

I like it a lot.

[capesemo54]

I like it alot.

[aivoinva]

I love this song. :) <3

[mechanicjoe]

If there was a love button i will press it for sure!!!!!! Karlmole65 a new youtube star forever!!! Subcribe his videos. Whoever did that one dislike he has no taste no affence disliker.

[karlmoles65]

@mechanicjoe Thank You!!! :D

[YOURJ3LOUS]

I cant watch this and listen to the song, the songs about jim morrison and i picture something completely different! and ofcourse val kilmer is in it....

[karlmoles65]

@YOURJ3LOUS We all see things differently

[Count22]

Alice was our only truth.Way back when.Personally,all i can say was he was an Inspiration of truth,to any young mind of the time.

The 1st to offer up stage and story in a performance while kickin yur ass upside-down...................­...........A true original.

[101Vadero]

What movie is the clip that starts at 1:06 from?

[karlmoles65]

@101Vadero That's Tombstone. Val Klimer playing Doc Holliday.

[101Vadero]

cheers



[karlmoles65]

@101Vadero Cheers!

[debzeppeliniv]

bet Alice would love this video, this is exactly what he visualized the High Noon scenario, really cool good job.
