I was all about Alice Cooper THE BAND but never even listened to Muscle or anything past having seen them in the flesh and blood from The Whysky in '70, opening for Black Sabbath, to the Hollywood Palladium '71, The Hollywood Bowl '72, and The Forum '73. Every time I try to pick a fave from that era I fail, and now I've discovered outtakes and such from Easy Action and Pretties For You that are better than the LPs, so that's in the mix as well. Bob Ezrin made that band and once Alice went on his own it was never anywhere near the same. You gotta love a band that freaks out Frank Zappa!

Long live Glen Buxton
