Well, he's baaa-aaack! Yup, one of the originators of punk rock is back all right, live, loud, and "Lost in America." This is a live disc, and fans won't be disappointed: all the old gems are here, those bedrock tunes from the '70s. You remember, the hard rock we tried so hard to dance to back in Junior High (we couldn't, most of the time, so a lot of air guitar was played while the girls did their best not to throw up on our patent leather shoes...) are all here. "Eighteen," "School's Out" (a true greasy American teenage anthem if there ever was one), even "Only Women Bleed" (he wrote it in a sentimental moment, and it went on to become perhaps his best-known tune). The band is solid, and Ryan Roxie's guitar has just the right mix of edgy tunefulness and all-out three-chord power. Guns and Roses' Slash makes a guest appearance.

Alice Cooper, AKA Vincent Furnier, became famous with a mixture of hard rock and sideshow horror. With his outrageous image and stage show, entertainer extraordinaire Cooper (who eventually adopted the band's name as his own) almost single-handedly invented the genre of shock rock--spawning a legion of famous imitators (Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson) along the way. By the end of the 1970s, Cooper had racked up a number of hits and become a bona fide celebrity, even appearing in films. His musical and cinematic activities continued into the 2000s, his iconic status firmly cemented.
