Alice Cooper

This pioneering musician merges elements of horror films, vaudeville, and garage rock, crafting a grand, theatrical, and provocative style of heavy metal. His stage shows, replete with dramatic props, are designed to shock and entertain. Adopting the name of his original band, the artist has continually experimented with diverse musical styles, from glam metal to pop rock, while returning to his garage rock roots. He is credited with introducing horror imagery to rock music and permanently transforming its visual and performance-based dimensions.
