Today's Halloween and I like to introduce you to the SPOOKY and FRIGHTENING side of Rock'n'Roll music...
Here we have Alice Cooper. The 'shock rocker' from the early 70s became a famous representative of the dark rock scene, because of his concerts. During his shows he performed his own execution (decollation on stage) and - most remembered scene of 'shock rock' - he bite off the head of a bat - or was is Ozzy? Well, some of those 'dark' guys...
Besides his music, Cooper appeared in different movies. Spooky but true, he only appeared in horror movies!
For example in the LAFP former worker John Carpenter's movie "Prince Of Darkness" and the sixth part of the Freddy Kruger movies "A Nightmare On Elmstreet". Alice Cooper plays the father of the supernatural serial killer.
Alice Cooper had a performance on the "Muppet Show", where he satirically played his "Elm Street" character again:
Another 'Halloween classic' is Marilyn Manson. The band's name is the name of the singer, too, and is composed of Marilyn Monroe, the beautiful pop ikone and Charles Manson, the serial killer. The band wants to represent the 'Good' and the 'Bad' with this name.
Marilyn Manson's face is always rouged with white make-up. His eyes are painted black and he wears blood-red lipstick. Another 'trademark' are the contacts in his eyes, one black, the other white - like a blind eye.
But not only his appearance is scary. His music can be found between Industrial Rock, Alternative and Dark Metal. His voice sounds like a hissing snake and can be easily adopted to a horror movie.
His most famous releases are "I don't like the drugs (but the drugs like me)", "mOBSCENE" and "Eat Me, Drink Me".
Marilyn Manson shows are bizarre and shocking. Typical poses on stage are copied from Alice Cooper. For example the execution scenery was used several times during the last "Rape The World Tour".
Connections to the satanistic scene cannot be denied, but a connection between the 'Columbine Killers' and the Marilyn Manson music, however, were proved unjustified.
The songs of the band are used for several different horror and thriller movies. "Matrix", "Blair Witch", "Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Max Payne".
The cover songs of the Soft Cell classic "Tainted Love" and Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" let Marilyn Manson be played in the radios and he became well known to people outside of the dark rock scene and besides Halloween.
