With the Halloween season upon us, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the godfather of shock rock, Alice Cooper. Having entertained the world for over 50 years, Alice Cooper is a true original, as you’ll be able to see in this Loud List.

Like many hard rock and heavy metal icons, Alice Cooper was inspired to become a musician by the Beatles. As you’ll see in this compilation, Cooper explains how his entire childhood revolved around the church, having been raised by a preacher father. The Beatles completely blew Cooper’s mind, allowing the future rock legend to realize his calling.

A multi-talented entertainer, Cooper has been a fixture of pop culture for decades through iconic appearances on Wayne’s World and The Muppets. “We’re not worthy” remains the siren call of Alice Cooper fans to this day thanks to Mike Myers and Dana Carvey’s idol worship moment. As for pure nostalgia, few moments enact feelings of childlike joy like watching Alice Cooper attempting to get Kermit the Frog to sign a contract with the dark lord himself.

You’ll also find out about Alice Cooper’s second love — golf! Cooper originally picked up the hobby to keep his mind off alcohol, which he kicked many years ago. Golf became the rock icon’s new vice, so much that he even did a commercial for Gallaway with a special cameo from Cooper’s giant python.
