Alice Cooper

The latest record, Detroit Stories (I think is title) is really good. Back when I was in the biz I had pit tickets from the label & met Alice after the show. He looked at me & said "I saw you rockin' down there!". Got a bit excited during "Under My Wheels". 

Never been into him. Grown-up Cooper always looked kind of a bit pathetic to my eyes, sorry.

Any recommendations of wich album(s) should I start with?

That's exactly how I feel about Kiss, who I've never understood the appeal of

Try Killer or maybe Welcome To My Nightmare. They cover all the basics of Alice, great albums!

Alice is a character, so just wouldn't work without the makeup, it needs to be a pantomime. I guess, in principle, someone else could be Alice if Vince didn't fancy it anymore.

Hahajahaja, I love Kiss! So funny. 

I guess it’s too late for you and probably you have already tried, but if not, I would say everything up to Destroyer are the classic great records from them. But, all those can be summed up in Alive and Alive II wich captures the band at he height of their powers in the 70’s. I just need those two records from them, as it happens with the Ramones.  It’s Alive! Is more than enough for me.

I was fascinated when I was a kid with their look and their live shows (mostly in photographs I must say). 

Anyway, thanks you and chuckrh for the guidance on Alice.

I don't have any Struzan on the walls at the moment but he is one of the greats - I spent a lot of the 90s and 00s collecting vintage original one-sheets and have a few of his. His ROTJ is probably my favourite.
Cinema posters are a lost art now, especially painted ones - they're all really horrible photoshop comps.

The Temple of Doom one is also amazing.
