With a raspy voice and a stage show that features numerous props and stage illusions, including pyrotechnics, guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, reptiles, baby dolls, and dueling swords, Cooper is considered by many music journalists and peers to be "The Godfather of Shock Rock". He has drawn equally from horror films, vaudeville, and garage rock to pioneer a macabre and theatrical brand of rock designed to shock audiences.

Originating in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1964, "Alice Cooper" was originally a band with roots extending back to a band called the Earwigs, consisting of Furnier on lead vocals and harmonica, Glen Buxton on lead guitar, and Dennis Dunaway on bass guitar and backing vocals. By 1966, Michael Bruce on rhythm guitar joined the three and Neal Smith was added on drums in 1967. The five named the band "Alice Cooper", and Furnier eventually adopted it as his stage pseudonym. They released their 1969 debut studio album with limited chart success. Breaking out with the 1970 single "I'm Eighteen" and the third studio album Love It to Death, the band reached their commercial peak in 1973 with their sixth studio album, Billion Dollar Babies. After the band broke up, Furnier legally changed his name to Alice Cooper and began a solo career in 1975 with the concept album Welcome to My Nightmare. Over his career, Cooper has sold well over 50 million records.

Cooper has experimented with a number of musical styles, mainly hard rock, glam rock, heavy metal, and glam metal, but also new wave (1980–1983), art rock on DaDa (1983), and industrial rock on Brutal Planet (2000) and Dragontown (2001). He helped to shape the sound and look of heavy metal, and has been described as the artist who "first introduced horror imagery to rock 'n' roll, and whose stagecraft and showmanship have permanently transformed the genre". He is also known for his wit offstage, with The Rolling Stone Album Guide calling him the world's most "beloved heavy metal entertainer". Away from music, Cooper is a film actor, a golfing celebrity, a restaurateur, and, since 2004, a radio disc jockey (DJ) with his classic rock show Nights with Alice Cooper.

Poison
Alice Cooper Lyrics


Your cruel device
Your blood, like ice
One look, could kill
My pain, your thrill

I wanna love you but I better not touch (don't touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison, running through my veins
You're poison
I don't want to break these chains

Your mouth, so hot
Your web, I'm caught
Your skin, so wet
Black lace, on sweat

I hear you calling and it's needles and pins (and pins)
I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
Don't want to touch you but you're under my skin (deep in)
I wanna kiss you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison, running through my veins
You're poison
I don't want to break these chains
Poison

One look, could kill
My pain, your thrill

I wanna love you but I better not touch (don't touch)
I wanna to hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna to kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison, running through my veins
You're poison
I don't want to break these chains
Poison (poison)

I wanna love you but I better not touch (don't touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
Yeah, well I don't want to break these chains
Poison (poison)
Runnin' deep inside my veins
Burnin' deep inside my brain (poison)
Poisoning (poison)
I don't want to break these chains (poison)
Poison
(Poison) I don't want to break these chains (poison)

Poem to Alice Cooper’s song “Poison”.

In the darkness of the night,
A voice echoes through the air,
Alice Cooper's "Poison" takes flight,
A song that's beyond compare.

With a seductive melody,
And lyrics that drip with venom,
It's a tale of love and tragedy,
A story that's hard to condemn.

The chorus is a haunting refrain,
That lingers long after it's done,
A warning of the danger and pain,
Of a love that's already begun.

"Poison" is a masterpiece,
A classic of rock and roll,
A song that will never cease,
To capture the heart and soul.

So let the music take you away,
To a world of passion and sin,
And let Alice Cooper's "Poison" play,
As you lose yourself within.

My favorite also

@Doug Saros Poison is not on that album. Bed of nails is there. But I will recommend Poison, Bed of nails, and The man behind the mask. Then I also like Feed my Frankenstein (I don’t really remember the whole song). I don’t really remember Bed of nails. Only women bleed is actually quite calm, and I don’t really remember it either, but maybe you should listen to it too.

Doug Saros

If you like this listen to the album Love It To Death. It flows through the whole album. Don’t know if it’s a concept album but I love it. Also Killer has good tracks. His concerts were a show in an of itself based on the lyrics. Great times ❤❤

Kasper

I have 3 favorites. Poison, The man behind the mask, and Bed of nails. Then I have more rock favorites. Heaven’s on fire, I was made for lovin’ you, Nothing else matters, Don’t cry, and many more.

Back then I wasn’t a rock fan, but this song performed by Alice Copper was the very few rock singles I bought, loved it and even now in 2022 it’s still awesome
