Biography:
Vincent Damon Furnier (born February 4, 1948 in Detroit, MI) better known as Alice Cooper is an American rock singer, songwriter, and musician whose career spans five decades. With a stage show that features guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, boa constrictors, and baby dolls, he is considered by fans and peers alike to be "The Godfather of Shock Rock"; Cooper has drawn equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock to pioneer a grandly theatrical and macabre brand of rock designed to shock.

Schools Out by Alice Cooper
This song isn’t hard to play but is very cool given that it is in three
different keys; the chorus sections are of different length and end with
different chords, and there is a bridge section leading into another bridge
section. These guys threw out the formula and created a masterpiece, here.
