December 1971 Cream Magazine - Alice Cooper

U.K. Magazine published monthly


Excerpt

"Behind him there is some object shrouded in a white cover. He rips the cover back revealing an electric chair with a dummy sprawled across it. He picks the dummy up, lovingly cuts its throat with the spear head and then disembowells it. He throws it on the floor and flails away at it with the hammer. Bored, he wanders over and sits down in the chair. Behind him the band build up to the screaming climax of 'Black JuJu'. Suddenly lights flash around the chair and his body jerks spasmodically and then slumps.


What seems like hours later he comes


back to life, picks up an enormous watch and chain and starts swinging it in front of his eyes. The stage lights reflect on the metal casing. It is impossible not to stare at the clock as it swings backwards and forwards. He throws it to the ground and it breaks. Cooper noves to the front of the stage, a cushion in his hands. As the song builds to its last highpoint he swings the cushion over his head and showers the front rows with feathers. More feathers start to cascade from the ceiling of the hall. The other members of the band rush to the front of the stage with fire extinguishers and blast the feathers all over the auditorium with bursts of pressurised CO2


As the band files offstage the stunned audience erupts into deafening applause. The band comes back for one encore. Cooper stands at the front of the stage throwing rolled publicity posters of the group out into the audience. "
