Alice Cooper At 75 by Gary Graff

Description

The extraordinary illustrated biography of the original “shock rocker,” published to coincide with his 75th birthday.

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Alice Cooper is the godfather of shock rock, thanks to his inventive mix of vaudeville, horror film schlock, and three-chord rock ‘n’ roll. In Alice Cooper at 75, veteran music writer Gary Graff examines Cooper through 75 career accomplishments and life events.

Readers will learn about Cooper’s childhood in Detroit and Arizona and early garage bands; studio albums and famous singles, like “I’m Eighteen” and “School’s Out”; collaborations with artists including Slash, Dave Grohl, and Johnny Depp; his passion for golf; and much more! Cooper is regarded as one of the most influential figures in hard rock and heavy metal. This book is an unprecedented retrospective. Every page is illustrated with stunning concert and candid offstage photography, as well as gig posters, vinyl record sleeves, period ads, and more.
