So....it's 10:54 pm Pacific Standard Time....it's cold, wet, and rainy outside, and yet in my cosmic and drunken stupor...i.e...–noun 1. suspension or great diminution of sensibility, as in disease or as caused by narcotics, intoxicants, etc...wtf.........uhhhh yeah....too much work.....anyways, here is my last post in regard to my semi-ongoing rant to lesser known 60's musicians who later became big in the 70's.....today we're gonna mention Alice Cooper.....for those of you who don't know, he is from Arizona...that's right, he is a ZONIE....ahhhhhh.....but I forgive him...his dad was a minister...no shit...and he chose a life of rock'n'roll...RAD!!! When most people think of Alice Cooper, they think of songs such as "No More Mr. Nice Guy", "Billion Dollar Babies", "School's Out", etc....but here's one of my favorite more well known Alice Cooper songs from the 70's entitled "Eighteen"...notice the 60's element still in this video combined with the darkness that would become the 70's.
Then listen to the songs by a band known as the Spiders. This was Alice Cooper in his pre 70's form, circa '65 and '66...you can track down these recordings at sundazed.com...again, for you squares out there, they are one of the premiere vinyl reissue companies out there...GO SUPPORT THEM!!! These songs are raw and show the edge of TRUE 60's teen trash punk....there is a correlation between the two...dig it man....
PURE f#%*ing FUZZ madness....
