Alice!!!!!!!!!!!!
With the perfectly-ghoulish visage to match his sinister snarl and macabre theatrics, Alice Cooper has ruled the shock rock roost for fifty-plus years. While the elder statesman of goth, glam, punk, and metal is a revered icon of rock to this day, Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier on February 4, 1948 in Detroit) has enjoyed two periods of massive mainstream success.
The first was in the early-to-mid 1970s during the classic Alice Cooper Band/Welcome to My Nightmare era, while the second was from late 1980s through 1992. That period is best remembered for Cooper’s killer addition to the soundtrack from the sixth installment of the Friday the 13th film franchise, “He’s Back (The Man Behind the Mask)”, the monster hit Trash LP, and an appearance in the beloved Mike Myers/Dana Carvey comedy Wayne’s World.
AUCTION PREVIEW: Heritage Auctions is excited to offer a stage-worn costume from the Ghoulfather’s second spell of superstardom.
Consisting of a custom-made black leather vest with shoulder fringes (featuring faux fur), black custom leather pants (with a codpiece), black leather boots, black leather gloves, a white collapsible top hat, a snakeskin covered cane, and torn black tank top, this eerie ensemble was worn on stage during the touring cycles for his Trash and Hey Stoopid albums, circa 1989-1991. Also included is the perfect piece to complete the outfit for display, an officially-licensed Alice Cooper latex mask from Trick Or Treat Studios.
If you’re a sick thing who loves the dead as much as I do, you’ll want to bid on this piece of rock n’ roll history today. It won’t even cost you a billion dollars, baby!
