樂團BIO
總觀搖滾/金屬樂界的起起落落，
你會在發現有些樂團一直沉浸在過去的美好時光，
有些樂團是洗心革面、拋棄過往，向前邁進，
有些樂團則在改革之後卻從此消失，
有些樂團則是迷失了方向，
懵懵懂懂地摸索適合自己的道路，
有些樂團與市場妥協，
而有些樂團則是選擇了急流勇退，
留給樂迷的只有經典專輯與讓人津津樂道的事蹟，
還有無限的追思。
而Alice Cooper呢?
將戲劇性的舞台張力與暴力導入重金屬的恐怖驚悚大師Alice Cooper，
在歷經了搖滾起飛的70年代、
重金屬風靡全球的80年代、
油漬搖滾與英式搖滾各擁半邊天的90年代、
以及電子音樂與嘻哈饒舌抬頭的千禧年，
Alice Cooper依舊不被人們遺忘在音樂歷史裡的最底處
，雖然曾經嘗試過許多樂風，
發現最原始的曲風才是Alice Cooper的標準樣貌所在！

感想
Alice Cooper，
一代驚恐大師，
其樂團就是以其名為樂團名，
至今創造出的shock rock，
無人能敵。
講到驚恐搖滾，
大家所想到的，
一定只有Alice Cooper一人，
很多人認為他老了，
沒錯，他確實老了，
但是他老的有味道，
越老越讓驚恐搖滾這個樂風越陳越香，
Vincent Damon Furnier是Alice Cooper原本的名字，
後來才改成了Alice Cooper。
Alice Cooper是眾所皆知的master of shock-rock,
這群將臉劃得像鬼一般的搖滾樂手,
表演時極盡「驚嚇」之能事，
三不五時將大蟒蛇、蝙蝠、電椅、斷頭台等搬上舞台，
有時還會將洋娃娃砍頭，觀眾就high到極點，
然後，露出猙獰的奸笑，
唱著超重金屬的黑暗搖滾，
所以Alice Cooper的表演，
總是被冠上「反基督」。
Alice Cooper的錄影帶，
大故份都滲入大量的暴力、性…標準的「重金屬搖滾」元素，
而，Alice Cooper的主唱卻是一個牧師的小孩，
所以說，
通常牧師老爸的小孩，
都會是跟老爸走非常相反的路，
Alice Cooper就是一個很典型的例子。
但與其要說Alice Cooper離經叛道，
倒不如說這個世界太過黑暗，
而Alice Cooper只不過是早早就發現了事實，
所以以他的音樂，
才訴說這樣的事實而已，
在他的音樂之中，
可以很常看到社會的黑暗面，
而這樣的黑暗面，
對於崇尚神愛世人的這個世界來說，
就是所謂的「反基督」，
但是在重金屬樂迷及搖滾樂迷心中，
Alice Cooper卻樹立起了一個至高無上的形象，
也讓他在音樂界的地位，
鮮少有人能夠撼動。
雖然Alice Cooper並非史上第一人玩驚恐搖滾，
但是卻是他讓驚恐搖滾發揚光大，
他們的音樂，
不只將恐怖，驚恐的元素加了進去，
同時也在不同的年代，
將其年代的社會現象，
融入在他們的音樂之中，
早期的他們，
舞台上大膽華麗的演出，
黑色菱形的眼妝，
這些都是他們音樂的特色，
或許有人會認為，
Alice Cooper主唱的聲音軟軟的，
很弱，沒有power，
但是在Johnson認為，
這樣的聲音，
配合上他們的音樂所要表達的意境，
其實是很match的。
經典永遠會是經典，
能夠成為經典絕對有他的道理，
你可以不喜歡Alice Cooper，
但是Johnson認為你不能沒有聽過Alice Cooper，
畢竟，master of shock-rock，
並不只是浪得虛名，
而是的確有他獨到之處。

Alice Cooper - Love's A Loaded Gun
Somebody saw you at the station
You had your suitcase in your hand
You didn't give no information
You walked off with another man
I'm alwaays standing in the shadows, baby
I watched you give yourself away
You take them home into your bedroom
ohh, You had another busy day
I tried to look the other way and fake it
You push me to the limit
I can't take it
One down, one to go
Just another bullet in the chamber
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
Red lights, stop and go
Whatcha gonna do when you play with danger
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
And it shoots to kill
Someday they'll put me in a squad car
Someday they'll throw away the key
But 'til that day I'll be a mad dog
Cuz that's what you taught me to be
You looked into the eyes of men above you
I was the one who really tried to love you
One down, one to go
Just another bullet in the chamber
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
Red lights, stop and go
Whatcha gonna do when you play with danger
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
And it shoots to kill
Pull the trigger
I tried to look the other way and fake it
You know, you push me right to the limit
I can't take it
One down, one to go
Just another bullet in the chamber
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
Red lights, stop and go
Whatcha gonna do when you play with danger
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
And it shoots to kill
Somebody saw you at the station
