Alice Cooper Live Performance of 'I Never Cry'
In the live performance of "I Never Cry," Alice Cooper showcases his artistic evolution during the mid-1970s. Released in 1976 as part of the album "Alice Cooper Goes to Hell," the song marked a transition for Cooper into a more introspective era following his earlier, more theatrical rock style that characterized albums like "School's Out" and "Billion Dollar Babies." By this time, Cooper was grappling with personal issues and reflecting on his tumultuous life, which resonated in his music. "I Never Cry" stands out as a power ballad, revealing the emotional depth of Cooper's songwriting. This performance likely came during a time when he was diversifying his sound and solidifying his reputation as a significant artist in the rock genre, not just for his shock value but for his musicality and lyrical honesty.
