About this listen

Rock and roll in the BC (Before Cooper) era was a tamer, milder world. In Who I Really Am, Cooper’s latest addition to Audible’s Words + Music series, we learn how the boa-wearing (not the feathered kind) maestro arrived at a show and sound - let’s call it AC for After Cooper - that has entertained millions of kids while terrifying parents in equal measure. Cooper drew inspiration from Saturday matinee horror movies, applied a "no such thing as too much" attitude, and hitched it to a kick-ass rock and roll band. The shows were incredible, but the offstage antics might have been even more entertaining. Cooper generously shares you-had-to-be-there tales of the band’s early days in Hollywood and mythic all-nighters with rock’s premier luminaries. Also included are new recordings of the hits “I'm Eighteen”, “School’s Out”, and “Poison". Not many artists can claim credit for creating an entire style or genre. Don’t miss the chance to hear a consummate showman reveal that storytelling might be his greatest talent of all.

Fantastic, Alice. Thank you.

Brilliant narrative sense of intelligent humour that can only be but one, Mr Cooper. This one will get more spins, I guarantee it. LOVE the music!

Short, fast paced and interesting.

I learned much about 'Alice Cooper' the band and the man himself.
It's a short yet fascinating story about being different, making a difference, standing out and promoting your product, The main product of course was himself, a gothic, vampish character fronting a loud, raucous rock band of excellent musos.
There's much name dropping and Green Room stories, for those of us who enjoy that sort of thing.
Although it ended as quick as it started, I liked the book nevertheless,
