#ALICE COOPER 1971

[savage-kult-of-gorthaur]

IN MEMORIAM -- "...THE SINGER WITH THE ALICE COOPER FIXATION..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the late, great Hank von Helvete after Alice Cooper, the progenitor of Hank's chosen eye makeup and his spiritual father -- Gatefold LP artwork to AC's 1971 "Love it to Death" and TURBONEGRO's 1998 "Apocalypse Dudes" albums respectively.

"Turbonegro are serious about this.

Witness the hard, blistering punk rock behind the flamboyant image, behind the makeup and all-denim outfits, the flamboyant costumes and the singer with the Alice Cooper fixation. That stuff is an amusing distraction.

England’s Kerrang! magazine calls the band “the heavy metal Village People.” Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age hails it as one of his favorite bands."

-- LOS ANGELES TIMES, "From Norway, punk with attitude and flair," by Steve Appleford, April 3, 2003

Rock in peace, Glen Buxton (1947-1997) of the original ALICE COOPER BAND and Hank Von Helvete (1972-2021), more rock legends lost.

No one will ever convince me Crowley didn’t have a hand in the creation of Mr. Cooper or his clothes. 🔥♥️✨

Alice Cooper - I'm Eighteen (1971) Lyrics Video

[goldshirtleia]

Hello yes it is that time of year again, I am listening to the 1970 OG recording of JCS on vinyl and have decided to finally make a list my rankings for every role and aspect of this show. For the record I am a pagan whose only real knowledge of the Jesus story is from this show so forgive my unhinged takes.

Characters:

Jesus:

Ian Gillan (OG album/broadway)

Ted Neeley (1973)

Ola Sålo (Swedish 2014)

Jack Hopewell (North American Tour 2022)

Morgan James (all female cast 2022)

Judas:

Carl Anderson (1973)

Brandon Victor Dixon (2018)

Murray Head (OG album)

Shoshana Bean (all female cast 2022)

Peter Johannson (Swedish 2014)

Honourable mention to Colm Wilkinson (it is a CRIME that there isn't a full recording of the Irish cast)

Mary Magdalene:

Yvonne Elliman (OG album/broadway/1973)

That's it, no one else even comes close

(Maybe an honourable mention for Gunilla Backman)

Pontius Pilate:

Barry Dennen (OG album/1973)

Filippo Strocchi (Vienna 2018)

Orfeh (all female cast 2022)

Caiaphas:

Bob Bingham (OG broadway/1973)

Norm Lewis (NBC 2018) I will ALWAYS stan Norm

Victor Brox (OG album)

Simon Zealotes:

TIE - Larry Marshall (1971)

TIE - Eric Grönwall (NBC 2018)

John Gustafson (OG album)

Tony Vincent (2000)

Herod:

Alice Cooper (NBC 2018)

Mike D'Abo (OG album)

Chris Moyles (Arena Tour 2012)

Overall - staging/set design/costumes:

1973 Movie

NBC 2018

North American Tour 2022

Arena Tour 2012

Honourable mention to the OG broadway production -- I haven't seen enough footage to accurately rank it but I LOVE Jesus's cape in Superstar.

Best overall rendition of Superstar (incl. staging, costumes, etc)

1973 Movie

NBC 2018

Arena Tour 2012

Swedish 2014

Best facial expressions:

Carl Anderson during Simon Zealotes

Carl Anderson right before he engages in respectability politics to slut shame Mary

Tim Minchin when the priests take his joint lmao

Best Superstar costume:

Carl Anderson's white maxi fringe jumpsuit (come ON)

Peter Johannson's shirtless #lewk (I have a whole thing about how Judas should not look like a demon but the sparkly red pants and the Legolas hair are too fantastic)

Brandon Victor Dixon in the full silver fit

Best WTF moments:

That bit in the 1973 film where they all form The Last Supper for a quick second and no one comments on it

When the 1973 crowd says "won't you die for me?" in Hosanna and it just FREEZES on Jesus's face

The Swedish cast pushing Jesus into Jerusalem in a shopping cart

The fighter pilots swooping at Judas after Blood Money in 1973. What WAS that. How did they get that.

That is all lol. Every time we watch even a clip of a new production my mother and I spend 2-3 hours discussing how it fits into our rankings, so this could change.

ALICE COOPER CORRUPTED, BUT SO MUCH DARKER.

"My paintwork for our Halloween party this year. The intention was Alice Cooper circa 1972, but had to do it all myself by memory and without my reading glasses, so failed miserably, but still it has something arguably going for it. Alice Cooper "Killer" being one of my favourite albums of all time due to it being ever present during my childhood."

Dennis Dunaway (w/ Chris Hodenfield): Snakes! Guillotines! Electric Chairs!: My Adventures in the Alice Cooper Group (2018)

I’m still sore at Vincent Furnier for virtually erasing Michael Bruce from 2014's idiotically-named Super Duper Alice Cooper documentary (I think Bruce was mentioned ONCE near the very end!), and I was almost as pissed at original Alice Cooper band bassist Dennis Dunaway for being seemingly complicit with that crap.

But Dunaway quickly sought to redeem himself by setting the record straight with his memoirs, Snakes! Guillotines! Electric Chairs!: My Adventures in the Alice Cooper Group, in which he brought Bruce back into the picture, along with lead guitarist Glen Buxton (R.I.P.) and drummer Neal Smith, while taking Vincent/Alice to task for his sins.

As such, this book provides an engaging first-hand account of the original quintet's High School origins in Phoenix AZ, their protracted dues-paying throughout the late '60s, and meteoric ride through the early '70s, when Alice Cooper -- the band -- somehow became unlikely mega-selling superstars as theatrical and shock-rock pioneers.

As I'd hoped, the book only vaguely addresses the solo career Furnier embarked on after taking the Alice Cooper name for himself, but I do wish Dunaway had spared more than a few, cursory lines to his ill-fated post-A.C. project with Bruce and Smith, Billion Dollar Babies, and '77's flawed but collectible Battle Axe LP.

Nevertheless, whether you're a diehard or a casual Alice Cooper band fan like myself, this book provides a far more absorbing, detailed, and believably human account of this influential group's adventures and misadventures than the aforementioned puff-piece documentary.

Featured Records:

Alice Cooper: Love it to Death (1971)

Alice Cooper: Billion Dollar Babies (1973)

Billion Dollar Babies: Battle Axe (1977)
