I love Alice. I got real serious about guitar after seeing these guys. However I have to give the original band their propers. The stage show did take over the music. I think the band was at the prime right here. Just great rock and roll, and limited theatrics. I pretty much gave up on Alice after Lace And Whiskey.
@Eliskoopa Good albums they may be.In my humble opinion no one suited Alice Cooper the singer, as Alice Cooper the band did. I have seen Alice a few times without the original band. It just didn't work for me. To be quite frank though the new "original" lineup doesn't work for me either. Steve Hunter, while a very talented musician, does not do justice to Glen's riffs. He's way to slick, fast, and improvises too much. I mean he is supposed to be playing Glen's stuff, right?
@GonzoGuyy I agree, the original line-up was the best and their albums are all great. It's sad they had to part ways. But I like almost all AC albums.
@Eliskoopa As I have said, I have seen Alice a few times since the break up. I don't really like his music so much these days. It's your right to like whatever albums of his you choose to like. I just kinda got bored with "concept" albums and the mega stage shows around Go To Hell/Lace And Whiskey....

One of the baddest, with 2 d's?? Most sought after type of music before and after its time...So intricate with changes, melodies, and mayhem, with no conscience...I didn't gradu8!!!

Thi song works great as an intro for Ballad of Dwight Fry in the Love it to Death album, but it also works great on its own. Thanks for putting this song to youtube.
I've always liked this song. I think I liked the piano better in the studio version but the electric keyboard is cool too...sort of gives it a psychedelic touch even though it's not supposed to be a psychedelic song. One thing I noticed....was some of the guitar parts were missing as opposed to the studio version....does Michael Bruce also play keyboards?
Great post, many thanks! This song downright haunts me, there are days at a time when this song is going through my head, definitely one of the Coop's best! Had a nice little conversation with him one time, helluva nice guy.
hey

@GonzoGuyy You made a mistake - listen to Special Forces, Dada and The Last Temptation. All great albums. Or Brutal Planet and Dragontown.
