Got my Alice Cooper collection going finally!

Picked up; School's Out, Welcome To My Nightmare, Goes To Hell and Hey Stoopid today for $7.99 each.... from a bloody truckstop of all places.

sweet deal. the last thing i got at a truck stop was food poisoning from a bad microwave burrito.

Welcome To My Nightmare is the only one of his albums that i didn't buy on cd. i'm so familiar with my vinyl copy, it'd be a shock to hear it digitally.

All great albums IMO. "Welcome to My Nightmare" is one of my all time favorites. Is it the regular version or the new remastered version with bonus tracks?

I have the regular version myself. Don't really want the remastered version as the album is perfect the way it is. I don't want additional demo tracks or whatever, so of like how MC666 feels about his vinyl.

Very good price and great albums of course. HEY STOOPID is realy good but also those 70s albums. Nowadays i am listening again to my ALICE COOPER box set THE LIFE AND CRIMES OF ALICE COOPER and i think that 90% of his songs were great.

No bonus tracks.

I've listened to all four of them a few times already...

This truckstop had a better selection then anywhere else around where I live... how sad is that?

I love ALICE! One of my faves.

My recommendations:

Love it to Death
Killer
Billion Dollar Babies
From the Inside
Flush the Fashion
Special Forces
Zipper Catches Skin
The Last Temptation

Also good are Constrictor and Raise Your Fist and Yell. Alice rules.

Since we're talking about the Coop, I noticed on another thread that quite a few of you have the Alice Cooper Box Set. Is it really that good? I dig most/all of his 70's output, but I kinda lost intrest in the 80's & 90's (rekindled however with the Last Temptation.) How far does the box set cover?

it covers all the albums up through and including The Last Temptation.

AC is must need person for rock-metal maniacs !

don't forget to buy discography, not only 4 or 5. except news from 2000 til 2005.

Well, i have a Greatest Hits on vinyl that held me over... but yeah... much too late.

Like Scott always says "So many CDs, so little money..."

better now than never. one thing u must do right know.
listen all albums and get them into your veins ... no choice. simple ... AC is history and must be in your brain with all songs.

3 Excellent AC albums. I still need to get Hey Stoopid, just never see it at the right price around here.

I have Welcome to my Nightmare on vinyl as well and listened to it so much that I know all the songs by heart so no need to get the cd yet.

The boxset is excellent and usually pretty affordable used. I got a complete one for 10 bucks at the local used place here.

and for the record the 2 disc version of Billion Dollar Babies is definately worthwhile. Lots of great live and outtake stuff.

I just got Trash today too... same truckstop... I'm not sure what I think of this one...

The only Cooper I have is From the Inside on vinyl with the cool nuthouse fold out sleeve. I plan on adding some Cooper to the collection soon.

It's infected with the same hair metal disease that most other bands got infected with during that period.

But, Alice is Alice.

Trash and Hey Stoopid are very similar. glam hair metal as TrogDawn wrote.
but til this day very popular.
recommended millenium albums:
Brutal Planet
Dragon Town
The Eyes of AC
and 80s metal album:
RYFaY
