Q&A
Alice Cooper quit just in time. It’s amazing to read about how much he used to drink and how close he was to death.
I’m glad he turned it all around. How I wish Keith Moon could have.
His alcoholism story is very similar to Stevie Ray's. Bottomed out and found sobriety in the nick of time. Unlike Coop, Stevie made his best music post-drinking. And also unlike Alice he lost his life tragically in literally his prime. You never know what your fate is.
Can you point me to AC's story? Thanks.
I'm going by what I've read over the years. I bought BIllion $ Babies when I was 15 and followed him for a good while. At one point he was addicted to Budweiser. He self admittedly drank 24 long neck buds per day for years. Crazy
super duper alice cooper will give you all the info you want on the coop(up into the 90's at least)
SRV was a genius. One of the all time greats.
Avoid helicopters.
Yes he quit drinking just in time but picked up freebase cocaine as a replacement that nearly killed him as well. You can see video of him in a sort of vaudeville tramp look with black blush on looking more than half dead his head was like one of those bobble head toys. Thank hod he stopped by the end of the 1980’s after spending nearly all his money. He pushed it and pushed it. That club that was Harry Nilsson, Alice Cooper, Keith Emerson, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Mickey Dolenz, Bobby Keys and T. Rex where called The Hollywood vampires for a reason they where all insane hell raising drinkers/ drug users several of whom where gone too soon . There is still a cool hanging shredded piece of paper that says lair of the Hollywood Vampires pres, treasurer, secretary etc went to all the above named musicians. You know what I’ll just add the picture.
I love Mickey Dolenz, but it is kinda funny to see his name under 2 Beatles and Harry Nilsson.
Right. They were all tight though. Which I think is cool no judgement for being a pop star. Not to mention The Monkee’s did cover at least one Nilsson song that was a hit, their version of Cuddly Toy was a hit but Harry’s original is much better imho.
Who’d a thunk Ringo and Mickey Dolenz would be the ones still around in 2024
Agree Ringo admits he did more drugs than most thought. Harry, Alice and Keith were known for their copious intake. Ringo said about the 1970’s “we were no longer musicians dabbling in drugs we were junkies dabbling in music”.
That’s funny, just yesterday I was at my my neighbors home hanging out, I went to take a wizz next to thee actual dog house that is pictured in one of Alice Coopers album cover
My dog's name is Alice Cooper. Chicken coop for short.
Cooper could have been Bon Scott's brother.
If only Bon had quit the drink too
Dudes were so skinny then
Alice Cooper is still skinny.
so is Keith Moon
Too Soon.
Cocaine for breakfast
Sounds expensive!
This is what horse tranquilizer will do to you.
Must be habit forming!
Moon would be dead within 2 years. Tragic.
Even in this pic, he was larger than life.
A shame, he was a once in a lifetime talent on drums.
Is this the day when they both later raced down that California street and Moon crashed that car?
Makes me think of that story where Keith crashed his car and the responding police officer walked up and said "hello, Keith. I knew it was you"
Into the swimming pool?
that was years before
Was keith moon a giant or is alice small?
According to a Google search, Keith Moon was 5'8". Alice Cooper is 5'10".
Both I think lol
Both of their heads look way too big for their bodies.
Used to live in his hometown of Phoenix and bumped into Alice Cooper at the airport a few times. He's a short, little man.
I passed Alice on the street one day. I was within 3 feet of him. He’s tiny.
I know Mr. Coopa is a dainty little dude. Keith always seemed beefy too lol
Keith Moon. Dude was dangerous. What is it about the crazy English drummers? I tend to lump John Bonham and Ginger Baker with Keith Moon in this category. Top end super group performers with some pretty serious demons.
Something is very weird about this photo...
Very. I googled “Alice Cooper and Keith Moon” and there’s a whole series of photos from this shoot. They all look normal except this one
He signed my guitar after playing a riff from Schools Out.
I'm guessing Alice just polished off 18 at Wilshire CC and Keith just polished off a fifth of Jack and three groupies.
That is so cool
Keith… and his goblet. So English!
What a time to be alive
No more Mr. Nice Guy, no more Mr. Moo-oo-oo-oon
70s rock were a different, much cooler, breed.
If they made it out of the 70s.
My word, Alice is just a sliver of a guy.
I had no idea Alice Cooper was a female tennis player.
Billy Jean Cooper
Amazing that Alice is still alive and doing well.
Vince has chicken legs. My takeaway.
Hell of a golfer, Alice Cooper.
Wow what a life
Alice lives near me in Phoenix. He’s a good dude.
I don’t know how Alice survived. Seeing some of the footage of him from that doc Banger did is shocking. Literally looked like a corpse.
I don’t know much about Alice Cooper’s background but he looks like he might be a tad blue blooded from this picture.
Keith was gigantic... Or Alice was tiny.
Where are their drivers?
Moons Rolls had a sweeter grill headlight thing forsure.
Finally got to see AC last year with Rob Zombie. What a great show that was.
even n the 70s, AC always looked older than he was....still love the guy
two parts of the hollywood vampires
Tan shaved legs lol
Then they drove them into the pool
Now Alice cooper is addicted golf hope he never gives it up
I like how Moon's Roll has the steering wheel on the other side. I imagine he had it brought over from England.
It is startling how tiny Alice looks next to Moon, who wasn't very big himself?
Moments before Moon parked his Rolls in his pool?
