There, the group met Shep Gordon, who became their manager, and Frank Zappa, who signed Alice Cooper to his Straight Records imprint. Comprised of vocalist Furnier - who would soon begin calling himself Alice Cooper - guitarist Mike Bruce, guitarist Glen Buxton, bassist Dennis Dunaway, and drummer Neal Smith, the group moved to California in 1968. According to band legend, the name came to Furnier during a Ouija board session, where he was told he was the reincarnation of a 17th century witch of the same name. In 1968, after discovering there was another band with the same name, the group changed its name to Alice Cooper. The Spiders and the Nazz both released local singles that were moderately popular. Changing the bandвЂ™s name to the Spiders in 1965, the group was eventually called the Nazz (not to be confused with Todd RundgrenвЂ™s band of the same name). After the original group broke up and Furnier began a solo career as Alice Cooper, his actual music lost most of its theatrical flourishes, becoming straightforward heavy metal, yet his stage show retained all of the trademark props that made him the king of shock rock.ДЇurnier formed his first group, the Earwigs, as an Arizona teenager in the early вЂ™60s. Driven by raw, simple riffs and melodies that derived from вЂ™60s guitar pop as well as show tunes, it was rock & roll at its most basic and catchy, even when the band ventured into psychedelia and art rock.

While the visuals were extremely important to the groupвЂ™s impact, the bandвЂ™s music was nearly as distinctive. By that time, Furnier had adopted the name for his androgynous on-stage personality. Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville, heavy metal, and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood, and huge boa constrictors, all coordinated by the heavily made-up Furnier. Under his direction, Alice Cooper pioneered a grandly theatrical and violent brand of heavy metal that was designed to shock.

Originally, there was a band called Alice Cooper led by a singer named Vincent Damon Furnier.
