Quest for rock 'n' roll - Alice Cooper on CNN

"It's better to burn out than fade away" may be a rock cliche but with a career spanning four decades, Alice Cooper might want to revise that well-trodden phrase. Compared to its musical rivals, rock 'n' roll has always indulged in a sense of theatre and Cooper epitomized this, with the creation of 'shock rock'. Influenced by horror movies and vaudeville; guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood and snakes were added to heavy metal music to offer up not just a concert, but a show. Now nearly 60, Cooper invites Quest to hop aboard his latest tour bus and share the highs and lows of one of rock 'n' roll's irrepressible characters.
