Alice Cooper - Gutter Cat vs The Jets/Street Fight 1972

[FBarney101]

This song was on the flip side of the Schools Out single and my friends and I would play it on a Juke Box at our local pinball parlour in the mid 70's; became a bit of a cult song. The venue was Banana Ridge Kiosk Pialba, Hervey Bay Queensland Australia. Thanks for posting.

[SanJoseCraig100]

yes,I agree really rare-THANKS!

[wvt9527]

One of my fav songs Alice Cooper ever done

[schwinglow]

Absolutely fantastic, I wish somebody had taken me watching AC when I was 9

[DoctorIvanSFN]

I love the original Billion Dollar Babies/Alice Cooper Group.... KICKS MAJOR ASS!

[r3ini]

Midnight... cat fight... neck bite... DIE!

[fallspeed]

I recently saw West Side Story on TCM and was surprised to hear where they "borrowed" the last half of this song. At least they gave Bernstein a co-writer credit.

[killdaclownz]

@fallspeed BORROWED??? Have you ever heard of a band playing a COVER SONG??

[Hopedeclined]

@fallspeed Sampling is nothing new; it's not a cover of it, and of course Bernstein got credit. ASCAP rules and all... he gotz paid, too. =)

when your a jet your a jet all the way!!!!

@weegeemustdie From your first cigarette to your last dying day.

[bajaman123X]

My first concert was AC back in 1974. To say I was blown away would be an understatement.

And SO many other bands took their cue from him...he opened up a whole new genre as well as setting new standards for stage shows.

"I ain't even in heat for a month", by the way....madamx32

[AngelofAnguish]

I wish I was a teenager or an adult (back) in the 70's (Please don't worry about feeling "old." I'm gonna be 40 August 30, 2010)! "Looking back," via YouTube, I missed A LOT of GREAT shows! When you saw him, who opened for Alice-or did Alice open for someone?

[ysbaddaden2003]

A knife fight is better than a big budget effect any day.

[Satori1800]

YSBADDADEN: Hi:) agreed

jd

[madamx32]

i aint even in heat for a mutt

[evilghoul666]

im 20 years old and alice cooper is the first music i ever remember hearing i dont know how i was exactly but old enough to walk ive loved him ever since he is god

[TheNightmare75]

Who is Alice supposed to be? Gutter Cat or The Jets?

[dissent88]

Well to my point of view, Alice is acting like two different characters for both gangs. So he's basically just acting.

[TheNightmare75]

Thanks.

[weegeemustdie]

Jets :)

[ysbaddaden2003]

Alice Cooper: Punk Rocker

[yahtzeeclub]

who would win a fight between alice and indiana jones? apparently they both can scrap

[bigbadbob58]

School's Out did not have a chance of surviving being played to death! Love the cover, too, too much! That album fell apart and I wound up buying another one.

[aliceone]

alice the king

[DrVonChilla]

....from one of the absolute GREATEST albums of all-time.

Aaahhhhhh.....you youngsters just don't KNOW what you missed!

[AndreasLuna]

us youngsters own the album?

us youngsters have seen him live?

Aaaaah, you oldies:)

[Schumalice]

I DO know what I missed !! I'm 20, and I'm a huge Cooper fan, I wish I were born in the late 50's to see the Alice Cooper Group with a teenager's eyes

[theshipsdrummer]

When you're a Jet you STAY a Jet!

[acfiorentina]

I still do! LOL

[mubirshu]

When Brett Favre moved to the NY Jets, my coworkers all said, "well, I guess he's a Jet now." I said, "Well, you know, when you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way from you're first cigarette to your last dying day." I swear, in a room of 26 people, one person sort of got it. She said, "oh, Alice Cooper, right?" I said, "Well, really West Side Story, but yeah, Alice Cooper too."

[Mystifier122]

Fantastic footage, unfortunately European TV hadn't gone color yet.

[lordifan48]

So damn great video!

Alice Cooper Group at their best!

[RKtelecastre]

Kick ass album, kick ass band.

[bitsiboo]

always copied,never equalled.Fucking love you Alice xxxxxx

[noelstaar]

This shows that Alice & company were clearly thinking of different ways of developing their stage show. Seems primitive but it's really interesting for 1972. Must have supprised quite a few people.

[nthband]

When You're A Jet! You're A Jet All The Way!!!!!!

[Froitswitch]

i met neal like a year ago, my friends dad's aunt is married to him so i met the coop too :)

[SickThing9]

In a real fight, Neal Smith would so kick Alice's ass.

[dissent88]

My favorite from "School's Out" album. Love the album, but it seems that the title song was only popular song from the album.

[schuck6566]

Get A Grip !!!!!! What is this, try to get the last insult?? Whatever you call him, the man is great. The origional band was great & he went on to prove he could be just as good with others.

[reoreason]

Brilliance.

[lipejdc]

Alice at his best! Awesome!

[stratman123]

Neil kicked Alice's ass, but Alice had his revenge!

Meow

Meow

[superpunkmuffin]

Great to hear Mr Dunaway's amazing bass lines so clearly on this clip, genius, thanks :)

[klijof]

Heeeeey very rare !! good quality ! Why doesn't Cooper release a f... DVD with all these great videos instead of the ridiculous "dirty diamonds tour" that nobody care ???!!!! Anyway, thank you very much for post this

[24Lancelot]

"do you have a special bond with him that you can call him Vince?"

That's asking my why I call him by his first name, asshole.

Vince isn't what I thought his real name was, it WAS his name, asshole.

If you were half as smart as you think you are, you'd be twice as smart as you really are.

Bye, bye, asshole! Yup, just stinky and full of shit. Mother's or daddys side?

[24Lancelot]

Have you noticed that his voice resembles Mick Jagger? I first heard this tune about 20 years ago and loved it. Being a West Side Story fan, I appreciated this tune and Vincent even more!

[thealphacenturi]

"Have you noticed that his voice resembles Mick Jagger?"

Hardly.

[24Lancelot]

That's your opinion.

[thealphacenturi]

"That's your opinion."

Very good Mr. Obvious.  What next, you're going to tell us that this is Alice Cooper performing in the video?

[24Lancelot]

No, the obvious is that you're an asshole.

But since you seem to know so much, tell me...was Alice Cooper first the singer or the group?

[thealphacenturi]

The group. Any other questions?

Didn't think so.

[hsker24fan]

I agree with Lance, you're an asshole. I aso agree that early Vince sounds like Jagger.

[thealphacenturi]

Yes, I am an asshole, but has nothing to do with this. Also, since everyone was calling him Alice even before he legally changed his name, do you have a special bond with him that you can call him Vince?

Nope.

[24Lancelot]

True, most assholes don't know they are one. Glad you recognize.

Why does me calling this celebrity by his real name bother you? Don't say it doesn't and don't say you don't care, cuz it seems to rub you wrong.

[thealphacenturi]

"Why does me calling this celebrity by his real name bother you?"

Because it isn't his real name.

[24Lancelot]

Oh, what is his real name? In other words, his birth name, asshole?

[thealphacenturi]

His real name & birthname are two different things, so there isnt "in other words." It's legally Alice Cooper, and has been his real name for 30+ years.

In fact I'll direct you to Alice Cooper's FAQ:

3. Is Alice Cooper his real name?

It is his real and legal name, but he was born Vincent Damon Furnier

[24Lancelot]

You asked me "why do you call him Vince". I told you. I don't care if he legally changed his name, his mama named him Vince, I call him Vince.

Bye bye, asshole. Just like one, too...stinks and full of shit.

[thealphacenturi]

"You asked me "why do you call him Vince". I told you."

No you didn't. You just asked me why there was a problem with you calling him by what you thought was his real name.

"I don't care if he legally changed his name, his mama named him Vince, I call him Vince."

So your throwing yourself in with his mother now? Nice.

"Bye bye, asshole. Just like one, too...stinks and full of shit."

If that's the best you can do....

[brendaleake]

his "real" name is Vincent Furnier, born in February (i think the 4th?) in detroit, MI.

the rumor i heard is he was playing w/ a Ouija board and that's how the name "Alice Cooper" came up - it was the name of a witch hanged at salem. but don't quote me!

[pbmax]

I can't believe I read this whole thread, I must be the asshole.

[caughtinadream1971]

if anyone has more of this PLEASE put it on youtube! this was SO awesome!

[BLACKLINER]

[ajps28]

[erinandcompany]
