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.

I'll Bite Your Face Off
Alice Cooper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With seduction dancing in her eyes
She turned around looked me up and down
She took me by surprise
I tried to run tried to hide
But my feet were made of clay
Looked in her eyes I was paralyzed
She licked her lips they were bloody red
She had the heart of the living dead
She pushed me down on a burning bed
Thought I was in heaven but instead
She turned her head and she softly said
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off little man
I'll bite your face off you know that I can
She put the whip into cream
She was a sinners queen oh a delicious angel face
She'd invite you in c'mon and lick my skin
You'd sell your soul for another taste
She took my heart my resistance fled
I loved each lie that I was fed
She pushed me down on a burning bed
Thought I was in heaven but instead
She turned her head and she softly said
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off little man
I'll bite your face off you know that I can
She pushed me down on a burning bed
Thought I was in heaven but instead
She turned her head and she softly said
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off little man
I'll bite your face off you know that I can
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
In Alice Cooper's song "I'll Bite Your Face Off," the singer tells the story of encountering a seductive woman who has a mysterious and dangerous side. The song opens with a description of this woman as a "dirty dream cool and clean" with a hint of seduction in her eyes. The singer is taken by surprise when she turns around and looks him up and down, leaving him feeling paralyzed.
Despite his attempts to run or hide, the singer finds himself drawn to this woman and unable to resist her charms. She licks her lips, which are "bloody red," and has the "heart of the living dead." She pushes him down onto a "burning bed," which the singer mistakes for heaven. However, she turns her head and softly whispers, "I'll bite your face off," revealing her true intentions.
The lyrics of this song can be interpreted as a warning about the dangers of giving into temptation and falling for someone who is ultimately harmful. The seductive woman with a dangerous side symbolizes the allure of danger and excitement that can lead people to make poor choices.

She was a dirty dream cool and clean
She appeared to be an attractive dream but with a hint of darkness
With seduction dancing in her eyes
Her eyes were full of temptation and desire
She turned around looked me up and down
She examined me from head to toe as she turned around
She took me by surprise
She caught me off guard with her sudden actions
I tried to run tried to hide
I attempted to escape or avoid the situation
But my feet were made of clay
I was stuck in place or paralyzed by fear
Looked in her eyes I was paralyzed
I was unable to move because of the power of her gaze
I just couldn't get away
I was unable to escape or resist her allure
She licked her lips they were bloody red
Her lips were dark and seductive
She had the heart of the living dead
She had a cold, emotionless heart
She pushed me down on a burning bed
She forced me into a dangerous, passionate situation
Thought I was in heaven but instead
I believed I was experiencing something wonderful, but it turned out differently
She turned her head and she softly said
She whispered to me softly and tenderly
I'll bite your face off
She threatened violence and danger
I'll bite your face off little man
She targeted me specifically with her aggression
I'll bite your face off you know that I can
She expressed confidence in her ability to harm me
She put the whip into cream
She mixed danger with pleasure and temptation
She was a sinners queen oh a delicious angel face
She was a seductive ruler of the underworld with an alluring appearance
She'd invite you in c'mon and lick my skin
She welcomed me into her dangerous embrace
You'd sell your soul for another taste
I would do anything to experience that danger and pleasure again
She took my heart my resistance fled
She captured my heart and I lost my ability to resist her
I loved each lie that I was fed
I accepted her deceptions and false promises
I'll bite your face off
She repeated her threat of violence and danger
I'll bite your face off
She continued her aggression towards me
I'll bite your face off
She repeated her intention to harm me
I'll bite your face off
She emphasized the threat of her violence once again
