No More Mr Nice Guy by Michael Bruce with Billy James
Interesting to hear another view of The Alice Cooper Group as told by original guitarist and songwriter Michael Bruce. Released in 1996, Michael talks about the beginning and the end of the Alice Cooper band as well as his solo efforts. Co-writer Billy James is also a musician who is in Ant-Bee that collaborated with Michael Bruce and the remaining Alice Cooper band on his "Lunar Muzik" CD.

I respect Michael Bruce and he is one of the original members that put Alice Cooper on the map. This was a collaboration which not only one person could of accomplished. But I get the feeling Michael had a big chip on his shoulder when writing this book. Which I guess I could understand as being in a band that sold out arenas to then taking a break to try a solo career which didn't pan out. Then trying to get back into the band which he actually was shut out from along with the other original members to see Alice Cooper take all the accolades and rocket himself into fame.

There is another edition of this book which came out after Glen Buxton passed on. An added chapter telling of the last reunion with Michael, Neal and Glen playing down in Texas.

This book comes with a plenty of rare pictures as you can guess from one of the insiders of the band.
