By 1974, the Alice
Cooper group had risen to the upper echelon of rock stardom... and
then, parted ways. In October 2015, over 40 years later, record store
owner and superfan Chris Penn convinced the original line-up to reunite
for a very special performance at his record store Good Records in
Dallas, Texas. Alice Cooper (vocals), Michael Bruce (guitar), Dennis
Dunaway (bass) and Neal Smith (drums) were joined on stage by Alice’s
current guitarist Ryan Roxie (standing in for the late Glen Buxton). A
packed audience, believing they had come to Good Records for Dennis
Dunaway’s ‘Snakes! Guillotines! Electric Chairs!’ book signing, were
surprised to bear witness to a full-blown happening. The historic
reunion show including all-time classics such as “No More Mr. Nice
Guy”, “I’m Eighteen” and “School’s Out” is now becoming available for
the very first time worldwide. Luckily the event was documented. “Live
From The Astroturf, Alice Cooper” (edited and directed by Steven
Gaddis) toured the world to the acclaim of music fans and rock
journalists alike. The documentary won multiple awards for its coverage
of the historic event. Now all Alice Cooper fans and rock music lovers
across the globe can enjoy this movie. |
