"Hey Stoopid" is the 1991 studio album by the American Rock Singer "Alice Cooper", it was recorded at Bearsville Studios, New York with guest performances by well known artists including: Elvira, Joe Satriani, Mistress of the Dark, Nikki Sixx, Ozzy Osbourne , Slash, Steve Vai, Vinnie Moore
In the neon-drenched haze of 1991, amidst the flannel-clad grunge explosion, a familiar ghoul emerged from the shadows, eyes ablaze with a mischievous glint. Alice Cooper, the godfather of shock rock, wasn't about to let the youngsters have all the fun. With 'Hey Stoopid,' he injected a dose of theatrical mayhem into the angsty landscape, proving that even in a world of flannel and angst, there was still room for a little twisted fun.
This wasn't just another album; it was a wake-up call, a slap in the face to a generation drowning in self-pity. Cooper, the eternal showman, wasn't interested in moping around. He wanted to shake things up, to ignite a spark in the hearts of those who dared to listen. With its infectious hooks, tongue-in-cheek lyrics, and a star-studded cast of guest performers, 'Hey Stoopid' was a raucous celebration of rock 'n' roll excess.
From the opening chords of the title track, a blistering anthem against mindless conformity, to the bittersweet ballad "Feed My Frankenstein," featuring the legendary Slash on guitar, the album was a rollercoaster ride of sonic thrills. Cooper's lyrics, always sharp and witty, tackled themes of social commentary, teenage angst, and the dangers of substance abuse with a playful yet cautionary tone. His voice, a gravelly growl that could charm and terrify in equal measure, was the perfect instrument to deliver these twisted tales.
Musically, 'Hey Stoopid' was a vibrant tapestry of hard rock, heavy metal, and even a touch of industrial. The album featured scorching guitar solos from the likes of Joe Satriani and Vinnie Moore, thunderous drumming, and Cooper's signature theatricality. It was a sonic assault on the senses, a reminder that rock 'n' roll was still alive and kicking.
The album wasn't without its controversies. Some critics accused Cooper of pandering to commercial trends, while others praised him for his ability to stay relevant in a changing musical landscape. But Cooper, never one to shy away from a challenge, embraced the mixed reactions, using them to fuel his creative fire.
'Hey Stoopid' was a collaborative effort, a testament to Cooper's ability to assemble a team of talented musicians and producers who shared his vision. Peter Collins, known for his work with Bon Jovi and Rush, produced the album, capturing the raw energy and spirit of Cooper's live performances. Desmond Child, a hitmaker extraordinaire, co-wrote several songs with Cooper, infusing the album with his signature pop sensibilities.
Recorded at Bearsville Studios in New York, the album's production was a whirlwind of creativity and camaraderie. The studio became a haven for rock 'n' roll royalty, with guest appearances by Slash, Ozzy Osbourne, Nikki Sixx, and even the Mistress of the Dark herself, Elvira. It was a celebration of the genre, a gathering of like-minded souls who shared a passion for music and mayhem.
