While sharing his love for genres like hard rock and heavy metal, Alice Cooper routinely shocked fans with his elaborate concerts. Spending over 60 years on the stage, the musician learned the importance of crowd control. Throughout a concert, Cooper often used pyrotechnics, electric chairs, fake blood, and even dueling swords to entertain his fans. Selling over 50 million albums during his time in the spotlight, The Rolling Stone Album Guide considered him one of the most “beloved heavy metal entertainers.” And recently, Cooper recalled the time he threw a chicken into the crowd expecting it to fly.
