Alice Cooper is one of rock’s favourite sons. Every metal fan knows the name of the shock rock star, and his name has been synonymous with the hard rock scene for more than thirty years. Rocking the world with his unique blend of metal, 70’s horror movies and strong lyrics, Alice Cooper remains cool and loved by modern rock fans.
In a musical career spanning beginning in the 60’s, Alice Cooper has become a genuine icon. With his name being known worldwide, it is no surprise that fans across the globe demand custom band t-shirts from the Alice Cooper brand. The original Alice Cooper was the band, consisting of the now famous singer; the band had been previously known as The Spiders. Accounts of how the band came to change their name to Alice Cooper differ, ranging from Ouija board messages to subtle references to comic strips. Their unique contribution to the history of rock and roll involved their singer and a series of weird stage effects which included a working guillotine and a gallows. Their 1972 tour scandalized parents and thrilled fans, and by 1974 the singer became increasingly involved in these theatrics, developing an evil stage persona that developed into the ‘killer’ theme, with the music somewhat of a soundtrack to the stage act. The star of the show became so identified with his character that he changed his name to Alice Cooper that year, beginning his solo career at the same time with Welcome to my Nightmare, which included vocals by Horror star Vincent Price. Into the ‘80’s and ‘90’s, Alice Cooper remained at the forefront of Rock and Metal, and custom band t-shirts featuring his name remain popular with twenty-first century fans. It is Alice Cooper’s particular brand of theatrical rock that ensures continuing interest in custom band t-shirts bearing the Alice Cooper brand. Metal fans are still wearing Alice Cooper t-shirts and band gear. They are eager to copy the King of shock rock cool: proving that, when searching for unique t-shirts that rock, Alice Cooper is one name that every Heavy Metal fan can be proud to wear. |
