10 Biggest Bands That Got Boo'd Off The Stage

10. Alice Cooper

The entire allure of Alice Cooper comes from the fact that he was never completely sane to begin with. Ever since he started in the '60s, the shock rocker's earliest days involved everything from dressing up in a clown outfit to unleashing feather pillow on the audience and letting the chips fall where they may. Sounds fun...just not in the era of the Summer of Love.

During the era of Flower Power, Cooper was known as one of the least likable acts in LA, with most of the people calling him the death of the hippie generation. Though Cooper didn't really want to be involved with the Flower Power crowd anyway, it was noteworthy that in his first handful of gigs in LA, he managed to clear the room in a matter of 5 minutes.

As manager Shep Gordon tells it, Alice came on with a clown costume on and started to play a song called Nobody Likes Me through a tiny window. In the middle of song, Cooper broke character and decided to go on a rant about how everyone in the crowd hated him, after which everyone headed for the doors and never came back. Despite being a dreadful performance, this is what actually sealed the deal for Gordon to be their manager. After all, if you're able to have the power to clear a room that quickly, it's only a matter of time before you convert that into positive energy.
