10 Deep-Cut Alice Cooper Songs Every Rock Fan Should Check Out
6. Muscle Of Love
The last album written by the original Alice Cooper band before the Coop decided to fly solo, Muscle of Love is an uneven and somewhat routine affair that featured none of the bombast or theatricality of its predecessors; showcasing a band that was physically, mentally, and spiritually exhausted from years of touring and partying.
Amongst the more standard rock fare however is the title track, the mighty Muscle of Love. An absolute belter that is undeniably the group's swansong. The serpentine intro lick leads perfectly into a furious rhythm section that gets a punch-up with perfectly placed power-chords that keep the energy high throughout its runtime.
Its three-minute forty-five-second length is full to bursting with everything that the Cooper band was known for. Driving guitar work, inventive rhythm sections, and cheeky, innuendo-laden lyrics that were designed to push the envelope.
From the title, you can imagine what this song's all about and everything about its music and lyrics evokes an idea of hormone-driven lust and this ode to both sex self-gratification has proven popular enough with fans over the years that its sporadic appearances in set-lists are always greeted with excitement from the crowd.
