The 80s had been a bad time for Alice Cooper. Nondescript albums and failed attempts at flirting with other musical tendencies had left the Shock King dangerously close to losing most of the fanbase he had garnered in the 70s. Even the perfectly decent albums, like 1985’s "Constrictor", failed to convince or impress the fans, who longed for the halcyon days of "Killer". A comeback of sorts was made with 1988’s "Trash", an album that showed Alice revitalized and updated for the new decade, and flirting with the “in” sounds of the late 80s, namely Glam Rock. In view of that album’s acceptance and success, the exact same template was used for "Trash"’s follow-up, 1990s "Hey Stoopid". The results were, again, above average, even if this album is not as highly regarded as its predecessor.
For "Hey Stoopid", Alice takes his cues from what was still popular at the time: the vibrant, gushy, shiny Hard Rock of bands like Poison, Warrant or Firehouse. It comes as no surprise, then, that "Burning Our Bed" comes across as something Guns’n’Roses may have written at the time, or that the overall sound relies heavily on the huge crunchy riffs, sweeping keyboards and shouty backing vocals of Glam Rock, while endowing them with an extra dosage of class.
Experienced artist and master songwriter that he is, Alice surrounds himself with the cream of the Hard Rock crop this time around. His “regular” band consists of guitarist Stef Burns, bassist Hugh McDonald, drummer Mickey Curry and keyboardists Robert Bailey and John Webster. However, the album is absolutely littered with guest appearances, including: Slash, Joe Satriani, Vinnie Moore and Steve Vai, Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx and Mick Mars (who co-wrote “Die For You”), plus Ozzy Osbourne providing backing vocals on the album’s title track. Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, provided the spoken word part on “Feed My Frankenstein”, a song co-written by Zodiac Mindwarp.
The album was produced by Peter Collins, famed for his work with Rush and Queensyrche, among many others. The album featured three hit singles: the title track, “Love’s A Loaded Gun” and “Feed My Frankenstein” (the latter was performed in the 1992 comedy film "Wayne’s World", in which Alice also starred).
"Hey Stoopid" is heavily recommended to not only Alice fans, but Hard Rockers in general.
