Drawing from horror movies and vaudeville, Cooper brought a new level of visual theatrics to arenas with guillotines, electric chairs, boa constrictors and fake blood; their 1973 tour broke box-offi ce records previ- ously held by the Rolling Stones, and raised the bar for major rock tours. What made it stick were some of the catchiest, most reckless hard- rock songs of all time: “Eighteen,” “School’s Out,” “No More Mr. Nice Guy.” Along with the New York Dolls and David Bowie, Alice Cooper was a starting point for the glam rock of the Seventies; it’s impossible to imagine the hair metal of the Eighties without them; you can hear and see the band’s infl uence in bands from the Sex Pistols to Guns n’ Roses. BEASTIE BOYS At different times over the past three de- cades, the Beastie Boys have been shaven-head punks, hip-hop bad boys, Seventies-funk stu- dents, political activists and style icons. Most important: they have had one of the richest, most important careers in hip-hop and rock, in- troducing rap to a huge new audience and then pushing the frontiers of what a hip-hop group could do. Their 1986 debut album Licensed To Ill – a supremely bratty, hard-punching, pitch-perfect mix of rap and hard rock – was hip-hop’s fi rst number one album, and remains near the top of the Billboard catalog charts to this day. The single “(You Gotta) Fight for 16 www.northcoastvoice.com • (440) 415-0999 October 6 - 20, 2010 Your Right (to Party),” became a teenage party and Bernard Edwards (bass, whose untimely anthem of the 1980s; a generation of hip-hop death occurred in 1996), abetted by future fans memorized hits like “Brass Monkey” and Power Station drummer Tony Thompson (who “Paul Revere,” songs which are now part of passed away in 2003).
