"Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Alice Cooper is the godfather of shock rock, thanks to his inventive mix of vaudeville, horror film schlock, and three-chord rock 'n' roll. In Alice Cooper at 75, veteran music writer Gary Graff examines Cooper through 75 career accomplishments and life events.

Readers will learn about Cooper's childhood in Detroit and Arizona and early garage bands; studio albums and famous singles, like ""I'm Eighteen"" and ""School's Out""; collaborations with artists including Slash, Dave Grohl, and Johnny Depp; his passion for golf; and much more! Cooper is regarded as one of the most influential figures in hard rock and heavy metal. This book is an unprecedented retrospective. Every page is illustrated with stunning concert and candid offstage photography, as well as gig posters, vinyl record sleeves, period ads, and more.

Reviews for Alice Cooper at 75

"“…the hardcover book is beautifully packaged with a couple of posters and a print, in a crushed velvet-effect box. A regular old bio doesn’t do a showman like Alice justice.”   * LA Weekly * The 75-chapter, more than 200-page book is like an encyclopedia for your coffee table of the history of Cooper, on and off the stage. * Michigan Live * ""Worth every penny...for Alice fans, a must-have."" * Music Connection * ""Alice Cooper @ 75 provides background on the 28 albums and on dozens of the performer’s singles; recounts Alice Cooper’s collaboration with an astonishing list of musicians, artists, actors, public figures of all sorts; includes movie stills and lavish photographs of tickets, publicity ephemera, comic books, public performances and moments from the singer’s personal life."" * Detroit Jewish News * ""...you can never have too much Cooper and the style, tone, tempo and presentation of this book is just superb. Alice Cooper@75 should be in any fan’s library."" * Metal-Rules.com *"
