Alice Cooper

[ELVIS]

No fucking way can that be any good...

Might be kinda funny though...

Maybe it should be listed as comedy...

I hear ya, that whole From The Inside era of Alice should be erased from history. Hell, even the falling apart and held together with duct tape Muscle Of Love was superior. He redeemed himself somewhat a year or so later with Flush The Fashion, but by then nobody (including me) was listening anymore. And that's a shame, as the man eventually got back on track, consistently putting together some great shows and occasional stabs at his former glory since 1987 or so.

I actually like a few songs from From The Inside...

Like this song and they don't sound too bad...

I love the 'From The Inside' CD... way overproduced, but still it has some great moments... especially 'Jackknife Johnny'
I have a bootleg copy of this 'Strange Case of Alice Cooper' show and it is pretty bad... but not nearly as bad as the 1977 video from the Lace And Whiskey tour with the dancing chickens and stuff, that was the lowest point of Alice's career.

[ELVIS]

Jacknife Johnny!

You're a bad jungle monkey...

[Mr Walker]

Jackknife Johnny
Them old vets gotta hate you
For bringing home that V.C. girl

[ELVIS]

I like this song...

[Mr Walker]

I think I still have my Alice Cooper From The Inside comic book somewhere.

I listened to it once and never found myself going back to it.

[ELVIS]

Hmmm...

I didn't care for the bits I heard...

There are some moments, but overall it's a little flat.

Keisha and disco? No thanks.

Like all Alice records, however, it is a lot of fun

[ELVIS]

What's Keisha and disco ??

"What Baby Wants"
While Cooper was thinking of a character to play the devil on Welcome 2 My Nightmare, he came across Kesha at the Grammys and said that she had the qualities of a "rock singer." In typical Alice Cooper fashion (harkening back to Billion Dollar Babies when Donovan sang with Cooper on the title track), he decided to bring Kesha in to work on the album because it would be unexpected. Cooper said about Kesha, "I think a lot of my audience is going to go KE$HA!?, but she probably wrote the most disgusting lyrics in the song – we had to rein her in." According to Cooper, many of her lyrics had to be toned down for the album. Kesha plays the part of the devil, continuing from "I'll Bite Your Face Off", telling Alice that it's time to pay the ultimate price: his soul.

"Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever"
"Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever" continues Cooper's idea that "no matter what you do, you can't kill disco." The song is strikingly similar to the Alice Cooper Goes to Hell song "You Gotta Dance", where disco is used as an eternal punishment in Hell. The guitar solo at the end of the song, played by John 5, is representative of disco being overtaken by rock.
