Alice Cooper Group (Camelback Kids)
Beheading chickens, golf-cart escapes, and guillotines on wheels – the group who made horror a hit parade. Started as a scrappy Detroit psych band, hit Toronto in '69 with a live chicken that never flew again, and turned every gig into a freak-show carnival. Theatre? Nah – full-on gangland execution. School's Out smashed summer forever. More guillotine-grade posts dropping every week..
