Alice Cooper - Serious

[6709ify]

Not only do I love Alice Cooper's music, but he's absolutely amazing when he's live too! How many rockers can say that they sound almost exactly like their studio album? ALICE! That's who! Awesome work, AC! If only there was a DC behind his name. (sigh) 'Cause he's that awesome. Welcome 2 My Nightmare due Sept. 13, 2011. Just 14 days away! Can't wait!!!!!

[69stepe]

Great!!!!

[MetalMachineManiac]

Steve Lukather of Toto played guitar on the studio version of this fucking ace song, "From The Inside" is a rough diamond....Again and Again and AGAIN!!!!

[nethaeleth]

'next to rob zombie'? good lord.

[krazynite]

Sort of sums up part of my life in this song :)

[guitarlover889]

i loved Alice Cooper when i was 16 , now I,m 52 & still reckon he,s the greatest Rock star this planet has ever produced .

[frankkkko22]

pure genius. and yes, alice is seriously underrated.

[Bamafandave3450]

all of my life was a laugh and a joke a drink and a smoke and then I passed out on the floor

[flashback225]

[skippyX87]

[akamaroovis]

I saw this tour, Alice right out of rehab.....he looked horrible......poor guy. My friend now owns Davy Johnstones bass guitar, a stienberger

[noloveforme7]

This album,this album was a big deal to me when I went into rehab in the 90's.The songs had deeper meaning.Especially "From the Inside" I relate to that one so well now.Relate to it better everytime I'm drunk,too.

[nostalgia43]

@noloveforme7 Ya, I know exactly what you mean.

[ledzkreep]

This song is one of those hidden jewels. Such a good rock song.

[zkombroz1]

alice la llea!!

[leandroshane]

this one is simply amazing!

[M3LGIBSON4EVER]

if someone could gimme the link for the studio recording of this, id apreicate it GREATLY

[blasabb]

@M3LGIBSON4EVER Buy the album ; ) That´s the best.

[MrBluntsworth420]

Was really hoping he would throw this song into his new tour, since it has a few songs off of "From the Inside."

[ChitownStever1]

Great song.The From the inside concert is one of the best shows I've ever seen.

[jmgrocks1]

bernie taupin had a lot to do with this great album. a lyrical machine.

[sumstuff46]

@jmgrocks1

wow man cool, thx

[DylanVanella]

The whole album is really interesting, seeing as it was based off of his experience of being put in a saniterium.

Alice is the master of concept albums.

[nadaoferie]

Oh Yes he is! Master of concepts indeed! Alice takes you where HE wants to go. Aquarians just LOVE their stories, don't they?

[Shenanigans2002]

This is possibly one of my favorites the man ever did.I like the studio version better than this though.

[DepartmentOfYouth0]

Do you know if anyone has uploaded the studio version on YouTube? I'd like to hear it, if you think it's even better than this :P

[Shenanigans2002]

I tried,but it got taken down.

[gayskunk]

everything he did was great, he had so much energy for a guy with no meat on his bones, i havent seen him live since 96', hope i get to see him again before he retires

[sarahewright9]

the man is made of solid awesome.

[DufusandRufus]

I have created the ULTIMATE Alice Cooper playlist! Just click on my account and got to playlists. Theres a TON of artists there! I have a playlist full of nothing but Alice Cooper music vids and live shows! Over 80 vids! Check it out!

[DepartmentOfYouth0]

No need to, I can look in my own favorites xD I've about 70 songs of Alice, and it's coming more and more all the time :o

[nadaoferie]

I love both, The Joker AND Alice Cooper. You're right, there are similarities between them.

[Shenanigans2002]

Epic performance!

Wish he would still play this at his shows,it's one of my favorite songs.

[maloneysandwich]

I agree!!!!!!!

[silbone]

HE WAS SO SEXY!!!! x-D jajajajjaajajja x-D!

[cycle926]

Lol, whadaya mean was? He still is!! :)

[silbone]

welll he wears more clothes now :-(....

[cycle926]

Ahhh, true. So sad... isnt it?? ='(

[silbone]

He still looks good but not enouhgt to be this naked x-D

[coopernaut]

Its strange that Alice says this is one of his fave songs, yet has hardly ever played it live. Its a great song from a great album!

[LuneyTune72]

Well he doesn't play it anymore because he sticks to the mega hits like most legends are do nowadays. Listeners just don't respect great songs like this just cus they weren't mega hits.

[baltazs]

One Alice's favourite songs...He really like this song :)

[sevenevanheaven]

His concerts are the best.......this is my favorite song also

[hornraiser]

from the inside is my favorite alice solo album. this song kills, and rick nielsen (of cheap trick) played guitar on the recording.

all of my life was laugh and a joke

a drink and a smoke

and then i passed on the floor

and again and again and again...

[thegirl44]

It's my all time favorite as well. I have yet to figure out why it didn't do better, sales wise, and how the critics missed it.

[maloneysandwich]

that is an awesome album.......on it, the lyrics for this song are

and the I passed out on the floor>or a friend lol

[Alicehunter2000]

Excellent, Thanks......Long Live The Coop! The most underated guy in rock!

Along Comes a Spider, Alices new album due out at the end of July 2008.

[jullalla]

cant wait!

[nochix96isnuts]

@Alicehunter2000 finally useful SPAM!

[TangoCharlie27]

...Ooops. I should have been commenting on the performance from The Strange Case of Alice Cooper.

[TangoCharlie27]

love this performace. This is the sickest and most dangerous I've seen Alice. He really looks scary up there. I know it was the late 70's but I never seen a geekier looking band! Tc

[DionysusAlS]

And then he passed out on the floor...

Alice is to be commended for having the talent and courage to turn his very private foibles into a very public (and amazing) stage show. I certainly could never do that.

[saucersauce]

Yeah, and would you believe that He did this album with Elton John's band?? That's not them in this video though.

[thealphacenturi]

"Yeah, and would you believe that He did this album with Elton John's band?? "

Davey Johnstone is in the video.  I know Bernie Taupin was involved in co-writing this album though. But the album was done with LOTS of musicians. Davey was just one of many.

[tjenatjena934]

this whole album freakin brings me to tears, haha. so extremly underrated i can't find words for it

[juspertti]

Alice Cooper is the God of theatrical rock!!!

[mostofthetime]

Amazing:)

[GMCDAN]

AWESOME

[hollywoodartchick]

really incredible performance! I have never seen this before. Thanks.

[0flump0]

my hero

[kelvinonline]

alice cooper midnight special 79

[squeezmemacaroni]

Holy Sweet F**K this rocks!!!

[Roadiepig]

Seriously- thank you for posting this video!

[SundayDaytripper]

The greatest Showman still alive.

[ogwary]

@SundayDaytripper agreed man, next to rob zombie that is. and rammstein puts on one hell of a show too!

[GREENDATE]

does anyone no were i could find a clip of this song in good qualitry on youtube

[RippinRichie]

It's available on iTunes now.

[TangoCharlie27]

Sorry dude, but i heard it directly from the man. He told me! And as he did he made his hand into a guitarists strumming shape. He said, 'the band could get that, ya know, chugging intro'!

He wasnt putting them down!

Tc

[Mytownhomeboy123]

"He said, 'the band could get that, ya know, chugging intro'!"

Sounds like he was being sarcastic, because in that case there there's ALOT of stuff they aren't getting right. "sorry dude."

[GREENDATE]

what years were alices heavy metal years. also what albums wer ereleased during his heavy metal years

[Mytownhomeboy123]

S-I-C-K-T-H-I-N-G-S-U-K.

You really should find this stuff for yourself on STUK. The answers are all there!

[GREENDATE]

ok. i've got that website favourated. i'll have a proper look at it

[TangoCharlie27]

I asked Alice why doesnt play this live much anymore. he said the band couldnt get that intro chugging guitar sound correct!

Tc

[Mytownhomeboy123]

If he really did say that he was joking.

[TangoCharlie27]

...He was deadly 'serious'!!

It is a hard intro to play!

Tc

[Mytownhomeboy123]

"...He was deadly 'serious'!!" Yeah, I bet he would be serious in saying how incapable his band is.

"...It is a hard intro to play!"

No it isn't.

For the record, Serious was dropped on the Eyes tour, reportedly because it was hard on Alice's vocals and didn't seem to fit in with the set at all. This came from Ryan Roxie in an interview with SickthingsUK. Ryan admits it was challenging, but it sounded just fine when played live.

[juspertti]

Maybe he is odd and ugly. But he is also the greatest rocker of all time.

[coopshow]

excellent post... Alice clearly was having fun,in a sober state... We need to see more of these videos...

Where was this recorded?... Is there anymore late 70's

stuff Besides the stange case vids(although awsome)...

[Congest]

Did he not eat during the seventies? He looks so thin.

[dcxbox]

over $500,000 a month on booze

[Mytownhomeboy123]

I think he was ill after quitting alcohol.

[KingTiger2000]

oh my god so ugly !!!!!!!!!!

[alicecoop9009]

so very awsome, thanks for posting, def. one of alices best albums if not the best.

[sandlady473]

The Greek is correct. From The Inside was Alice's best album ever, and will be forever!

[STUPIDxxSITE]

hehe I have a picture of Alice Cooper in golf caddie shorts (you know those stupid checkered ones)... when I saw him at the golf coarse I really couldn't believe it!

Wow.

hehe Golfing shorts.

[airdnaxela24]

This album was done with Bernie Taupin and Elton John's band. Can You see Elton doing this. Ha Ha

[ApollyonTheGreek]

"From The Inside" was Alice's best album ever.

[Lucko2k7]

Totally agree! According to Eric Singer, the new album (Along Came a Spider) is sounding a bit like From the Inside so I can't wait ;)

[SaraTGinMD]

I LOVED From the Inside but I think Billion Dollar Babies had to be Alice at his peak

[fernandocooper]

Un video fantastico, increible, lo mejor del mejor del mundo, aguante alice!!! disco suck's!

[cruiser277777]

brilliant song, when was this shot

[ciggaar]

Aesome man! Thanks for postng this! I love it! Never heard this song before. I guess I wasn't a big Alice Cooper fan 'till now!!!

[MalchikBlue]

You still have this video as an avi?

[Lucko2k7]

That performance was electric! Awesome ;)
