How 'Muscle of Love' Hastened the Demise of Alice Cooper

Released in late 1973, Muscle of Love marked a return to Alice Cooper's straight-ahead hard rock sound after the more theatrical endeavors of its predecessors, Billion Dollar Babies and School's Out. It underperformed those two albums, peaking at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 and limping to gold status. By contrast, Billion Dollar Babies topped the charts and School's Out peaked at No. 2, and both albums went platinum.

The Alice Cooper Band played their final show in April 1974 and split shortly thereafter. Cooper had by then legally changed his name from Vincent Furnier, and he launched a successful solo career with 1975's Welcome to My Nightmare.

Fifty years later, the titular frontman is still hard at work, having just announced a series of tour dates for early 2025.
