CONTEXT AND NOTES

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS

Released on July 1, 1991, Hey Stoopid marked Alice Cooper’s return to a more straightforward hard-rock sound after a period of heavier conceptual works. The album featured guest appearances from artists including Ozzy Osbourne, Slash, and Joe Satriani. The striking cover and campaign leaned heavily into Cooper’s classic shock-rock persona, helping it become one of his most memorable releases of the 1990s.
