00:00:30 - Hello Old Alice comes to visit us at Classic Rock Sal Time, in its most rock and modern version.

6 songs all time.

00:01:03 - Alice Cooper spent most of the 80s looking for a hit, but with his 18th studio LP, Trash,

00:01:09 - Revolutionary Shock Rock promised less score, more more.

00:01:13 - He delivered, with a million-selling hit that resurrected his recording career.

00:01:18 - Just on July 25, 1989, Trash was led by, Poison, Cooper's first top 10 pop hit in over a decade, and was accompanied by a successful tour that found him touring American cities behind the wheel of a garbage truck.

00:01:33 - After years of posting records that didn't make the US charts, he couldn't hide his excitement at the change in fortune.

00:01:40 - This is a very mature and modern record for Alice's career and the song Poison was a hit all over the world.

00:01:46 - The lyrics are about a girl who is mean to him, but she can't resist her charms.

00:01:51 - There is an element of masochism in the song, as Alice sings, I want to hurt you just to hear you scream my name.

00:01:58 - In this song, Cooper sings about a girl who is mean to him, but can't resist his charms.

00:02:04 - There is an element of masochism to the song, as Alice sings, I want to hurt you just to hear you scream my name.

00:02:11 - This wrote this song with hitmaker Desmond Child, who worked with Kiss and Bon Jovi, with this duo success was assured.

00:02:18 - This was Cooper's first music video to be rotated on MTV.

00:02:23 - He broke new ground in 1975, when he turned his welcome to My Nightmare Tour show into a full-length movie, which laid the groundwork for Michael Jackson's, Thriller, video.

00:02:34 - Both clips were narrated by Vincent Price.

00:02:37 - With Poison, Cooper tapped into MTV's audience for the first time and became much more relevant to the younger generation.

00:02:44 - The band consisted of Alice Cooper, lead vocals John McCurry, guitar, Hugh McDonald, bass, backing vocals, Bobby Schwinnard, drums, Alan St. John, keyboards.

00:03:01 - In that era, all the bands, the Sunset strip bands and the Jersey bands, were all hair spray, spandex, and great songs.

00:03:11 - You could not deny these records that were coming out, and they did shows.

00:03:15 - These bands, Motley Crew, Bon Jovi, I dare you to find a band as tight as Bon Jovi.

00:03:21 - They are, to this day, one of the tightest bands you'll ever see on stage.

00:03:25 - They were all really top professionals.

00:03:28 - One thing kept catching my ear.

00:03:30 - I kept going, what a great record that was.

00:03:33 - And then Joan Jett, I hate myself for loving you.

00:03:36 - What a great record that is.

00:03:38 - All of them came back to the common denominator,

00:03:40 - Desmond Child.

00:03:42 - I looked and he wrote on every one of those.

00:03:44 - He was a song doctor.

00:03:46 - The only guy I ever went to other than Bob Ezra.

00:03:50 - So I met this guy and I said,

00:03:52 - I like what you're doing with Vaughn Jovey.

00:03:54 - I love what you're doing with Aerosmith.

00:03:55 - All these songs, I said, I want that

00:03:58 - But I want a darker, sexier sound for Alice.

00:04:02 - We sat there for three days at the piano and finally came up with Poison.

00:04:07 - And Poison was that dark, sensual, cumular song, you know.

00:04:12 - And his theory was always, don't bore us, get to the chorus.

00:04:16 - Now, this might have been one of the only songs where he was kind of like, oh wow, this is a little dark for the radio.

00:04:22 - It was an immediate hit.

00:04:23 - It was one of those songs that just went through the roof all over the world, not just America.

was like, internationally probably bigger than school's out.

00:04:30 - Poisonous.

00:04:31 - And it was just that sexy, you know, and the message was, you know, you're poison.

00:04:38 - You know, I love you, but I know you're gonna kill me.

00:04:40 - Everybody has been through that.

00:04:42 - You always want that person that's no good for you and you know they're no good for you, but you can't stay away from them, you know.

00:04:50 - And that was the whole idea on the lyric on that.

00:04:53 - It ends up being the number one stripper song in the world.

00:04:56 - I didn't know that.

00:04:57 - Somebody told me they said, you know that that is every stripper's final song.

00:05:01 - They play that and that's...

00:05:03 - I've never been to a strip club in my life, so I don't know.

00:05:27 - Your crew devised your blood Like ice, one look could kill my pain

00:05:56 - I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop, I wanna kiss you but I want it too much, too, but I wanna taste you, but you're in the song and I'm missing poison
