Alice Cooper's pedigree as the original shock rocker and wild man of rock 'n' roll is undisputable. His radically theatrical approach to his music combined with a ferocity unknown in the 'peace' generation of the late '60s' hippy dom soon established Alice as a controversial rocker ahead of his time

* The following years saw a succession of platinum albums including "Killer", "Schools Out", "Welcome To My Nightmare" and al so "Billion Doller Babies", with success continuing until the late '70's with Alice always remaining true to his rebellious upbringings, yet experimenting with new sound techniques and new musicians. By 1983 Alice took time out to recover from 14 To years of continuous touring and to reflect on his career.

TRASH sees a triumphant return for Alice Cooper almost twenty year since his first release. Alice is back combining the raw power of his musical upbringing with a new sophistication which will keep Alice rocking right through the'90's.
