Chris_Sutton Alice_Cooper_in_the_1980s Book

The 1980s saw Alice Cooper release his most diverse collection of albums, ranging from new wave to metal to full-on radio-friendly rock. 

This book, which follows on from the author’s acclaimed Alice Cooper In The 1970s, features all new interview material by the author with 45 musicians and performers who worked with Alice over the decade. Many have never been interviewed before but they offer a fascinating insight into working with Alice and with each other.

Key interviewees include Mike Pinera, Jan Uvena, John Nitzinger, Graham Shaw,  Ken Mary, Kip Winger, Kane Roberts, John McCurry and Al Pitrelli. 

The author adds commentary and opinions on all of the songs from the era, Alice’s film work and the five live tours. There is also an appendix on the album that could have been but never was. Alice himself ‘contributes’ from the contemporary press of the time, his comments becoming more loquacious as the decade progresses.
