In the early 70's,
Alice Cooper was a five-member band that
became one of the biggest exponents of glam rock and whose fame reached
global proportions, with gold and platinum albums around the world
thanks to albums like Love It To Death, Killer, School's Out and Billion
Dollar Babies. In 1975, the band breaks up and Alice Cooper became a
solo artist whose popularity reaches until today thanks to hits like
Poison and Only Women Bleed. The Many Faces Of Alice Cooper presents the
full story, including material from both the original band members and
Alice as solo artist, as well as highlighting their most iconic
repertoire.
The Many Faces Of Alice Cooper is a truly
exceptional album, especially for those of you who considers yourself a
rock music lover.
Also remember that it is not available on Streaming
platforms. The Many Faces Of Alice Cooper digs deep into the band's
story and compiles for the first time in one single album, the works of
the members of Alice Cooper after the breakup, in addition to paying
homage to their impressive repertoire. We started with Michael Bruce,
who was the lead songwriter of the group, who penned hits like Caught In
A Dream and Be My Lover. Michael recorded his debut solo album with a
who's who list of guest musicians, including Alice Cooper himself, who
puts his voice on As Rock Rolls One, which we presented in our Many
Faces along with two other songs from that album: the magnificent
version of Friday On My Mind (the Easybeats' classic, who was also
recorded by David Bowie and Peter Frampton back then) and King Of
America. Neal Smith was one of the most spectacular drummers of the 70s,
with his long hair and massive drums (he once competed with Keith Moon
about who had the most tom toms on his drum kit) became a legendary
figure. His debut album, Platinum God was also recorded in 1975 (at the
same time as Michael Bruce's and Welcome to My Nightmare by Alice), and
in it, both Dennis Dunaway and Michael Bruce were guests artists. As we
can hear in the four fantastic songs that we included in our Many Faces,
where Neal also sings. Dennis and Neal also teamed up with Blue Oyster
Cult's Joe Bouchard to release two albums as a trio. In The Many Faces,
we include them performing excellent versions of four Alice Cooper
classics: the aforementioned Caught In A Dream and School's Out, along
with Under My Wheels and the mysterious Black Ju-Ju. In 1989 Dennis and
Neal also joined forces for the Deadringer project and they released the
album Electrocution Of The Heart, from where we include the song Double
Talk. To close this captivating chapter, we have the luxury of feature
two songs from Killsmith, Neal Smith' most recent project, where he gets
into an evil rock with a sound close to punk rock. On CD 2 of The Many
Faces we present Alice Cooper on her first solo tour, featuring several
tracks from his then-new album Welcome To My Nightmare as well as
versions of the band's hits, some of them with very interesting new
arrangements. Finally, on CD 3 of The Many Faces we include most of the
greatest Alice Cooper songs, both solo and as a band, in versions by
artists that you can tell by their performances that are true devoted
fans. Without a doubt, a delight for their followers.
