Saw Alice in 1972 in Atlanta, and the show was outstanding, it was a great spectacle when Alice sang "Remembering You on a Night Like This" to a big fat boa constricter, it was not scary, it was beautiful!

Alice Cooper has a couple of great songs.
I've seen the video on VH1 a couple of years ago.
The video was great, though the costumes may look campy by today's standards.

I saw Alice a couple of times, once in '89 and in '01. A buddy of mine is a spitting image of him when he puts on the eye makeup. I remember a couple of girls thought it was the real Alice... (mmm... we could have abused that priviledge ;) ).
My first exposure to him was when he appeared on an episode of "The Muppet Show"... still one of my favourite episodes!

My dad had the 'Welcome To My Nightmare' album. Steven was a genuinely haunting song. I heard it once and would be reluctant to listen to it again.

Actually, I have 2 MPG files of Alice from TMS. Welcome To My Nightmare, and School's Out.
Both were awesome.
Whenever I think of commenting on what my 16 year old son thinks of Marilyn Manson, I just think to what my parents must have thought of Alice Cooper!

I was in a store today and heard the song "Welcome to Nightmare" over the PA system but it wasn't Alice. What is that all about?

The video you saw on VH1 is from the TV special "Alice Cooper: The Nightmare" which they did after the release of the album. Vincent Price also has a bit part in it. For some of the songs, they had to change the lyrics to make it TV-friendly. There are some great performances in it, especially "Steven". I used to rent it all the time on VHS. Hope it makes it to DVD someday.

My favorite is "The Ballad of Dwight Frye." That's because I love the Bela Lugosi "Dracula" from 1931. The actor who plays the madman Renfield is Dwight Frye. People got confused because Dwight Frye was the actor, but the character was "Renfield." I guess the "Ballad of Renfield" doesn't have the same ring. Anyway, the kid next door when I was growing up, who was the biggest A.C.fan, told us the song was about "an actor who went crazy and had to be locked in an insane asylum." So I assumed Dwight Frye was some scary, freaky guy, which couldn't be further from the truth (see below).
A.C. identified with Renfield's scatterbrained behavior and insect hallucinations when A.C. was going through alcohol detox.
Anyway, this is the real Dwight Fry, according to IMDB:
Quoting:
A versatile character actor, originator of several memorable characterizations in the horror film genre. Dwight Frye had a notable theatre career, moving from juvenile parts to leads before entering film. He originated the part of "the Young Man" in the 1922 Broadway premiere of Luigi Pirandello's "Six Characters in Search of an Author." Cast with Bela Lugosi in a 1926 production of "The Devil and the Cheese, " he ultimately appeared in at least two Lugosi films. Despite (or perhaps because of) his memorable, impassioned portrayals of real estate agent-cum-madman Renfield in Tod Browning's 1931 film "Dracula, " and Fritz the sadistic hunchbacked lab assistant in James Whale's "Frankenstein, " the Industry seemed determined to typecast him. "The Crime of Dr. Crespi" (1935) offered him billing second only to that of villain Erich von Stroheim but too soon he was consigned to playing a lucklustre array of lunatics, spies, red herrings, grasping heirs, and bit parts. He occasionally returned to the stage in comedies, musicals, and thrillers such as "Night Must Fall" and a stage version of "Dracula." In the early '40's he worked nights (between films and local theatre productions) as a tool desginer for the Lockheed Aircraft Company. An uncanny physical resemblance to then-Secretary of War Newton D.Baker led to being signed to a substantial role in a film called "Wilson", based on the life of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, but Frye succumbed to a heart attack on a bus a few days later.End Quote
