by Bob Greene (Author) The 70s were the days when the Coop was the deal and few could pretend to be more, although some tried. The band wrote, Alice writhed and croaked and all was right with rebellion. Greene tagged along on this tour in late 1973, an ill-fated jaunt that was mercifully short, done to promote the band's swan song, ''Muscle of Love.'' He caught the band in full demise, rife with infighting and animosity towards Alice as he emerged as the Bob Hope of Pop, with his priorities all screwed up - It's the music, Stupid. Most telling are the mini-portraits of each band member that Greene manages to pull together. Bassist Dennis Dunaway as the reticent, family man; the late Glen Buxton as an enigmatic, already haggard young guitarist - and most amazing, Michael Bruce and his tremendous talent all pulled together tightly as the one who brings everybody together. Chances are that readers will be either Cooper fans or Greene fans. Both will be satisfied, but in his ego-less style, Greene extracts himself from the equation and makes this a wonderful sojourn into early 70s decadence. Columnist Bob Greene goes on the Alice Cooper band's Muscle of Love Christmas Tour in 1973. He is also present for the recording of the Muscle of Love album. He plays the part of Santa Claus in the show and is beaten up by the band at the end of the show each night. Most of the people on the tour know that Greene will be writing about the tour but I don't think anybody quite knew how deeply Greene was going to analyze what he saw and heard. Alice was getting tired of being Alice. He had his eyes set on a Hollywood film career and would eventually move to Beverly Hills right next door to Groucho Marx. Golf, beer and TV were his addictions. Shep Gordon (manager)and Alice began making all the decisons while the band was reduced to back up musicians but even then their power was limited. Glen Buxton (guitar) had become dysfunctional and didn't even play on the Muscle of Love album although his pictures were on the album. On tour his amp was often turned down except during 18 and School's Out but even then sometimes he flaked. He was drunk and belligerent at group interviews and Alice felt uncomfortable practicing with Glen hence their live harmonies were very sloppy because they didn't practice enough. Guitarist Mike Bruce suggested to Shep that they permanently replace Glen with Mick Mashbir the backup guitar player on stage and on the albums but Shep said no. This made functioning as a group very difficult. The band talked about each other behind each others backs and Bob Green printed these comments. Everyone was taking him into their confidence. He never took notes or had a tape recorder so everyone was speaking their mind. Alice was a raging alchoholic at this time. He threw up blood every morning.Read more ›
