My Chemical Romance and Alice Cooper

Born Vincent Furnier, Alice Cooper revolutionized rock in the '70s with shock rock. Known for gritty hard rock and theatrics, hits like "School's Out" and "No More Mr. Nice Guy," and collaborations with icons like Bob Ezrin, Alice gained fame for his dramatic stage shows. Solo success came with "Welcome to My Nightmare." His later works like "Trash" kept him relevant, collaborating with artists like Desmond Child. A cult legend, he toured with bands like Mötley Crüe and released albums like "Detroit Stories." Cooper's influence shaped music, blending rock theatrics and heavy metal.

Formed in NJ, My Chemical Romance debuted in 2002. Known for emo rock style, hits like "Welcome to the Black Parade" and "Helena" earned them 3x Platinum status.
