Alice Cooper is the stage name of American rock singer Vincent Furnier, and also the name of the original band he fronted, formed in Phoenix, Arizona in the 1960s. Widely regarded as the "Godfather of Shock Rock", Alice Cooper became famous for theatrical live shows featuring horror imagery, guillotines, snakes, and darkly humorous storytelling.
Blending hard rock, glam, and theatrical performance art, Alice Cooper helped redefine what a rock concert could be, influencing generations of rock, metal, and performance-based artists.
Alice Cooper’s sound combines gritty hard rock riffs with catchy hooks and macabre, tongue-in-cheek lyrics. The music is designed to support elaborate stage performances that resemble horror theatre.
Across both the original band era and his solo career, the project became synonymous with blending entertainment, satire, and shock value in rock music.

School’s Out (1972) – iconic release featuring the title track, one of rock’s most enduring anthems.
