"[THE ALBUM] WAS REFLECTING THE DECADENCE OF A TIME WHEN WE WERE LIVING FROM LIMOUSINE TO PENTHOUSE..."
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a March 1973 Rolling Stone print/promotional ad for the "Billion Dollar Babies" LP, the sixth studio album by American hard rock/shock rock band ALICE COOPER, and released on February 25, 1973.
PIC #2: A concert poster for the "Billion Dollar Babies" 1973 continental U.S. tour, spanning 48 concerts in total. That's nearly one concert for every U.S. state!
"It was reflecting the decadence of a time when we were living from limousine to penthouse to the finest of everything including… well, the finest of everything. We couldn’t believe people were actually paying us to do this. We would have done it for free, because we were just a garage band who happened to be at the right place at the right time."
-- ALICE COOPER on "Billion Dollar Babies" being their most decadent album
BDB/FUN/TRIVIA FACT: A partial list of props from the tour, which required 40 tons of equipment, included a dentist’s drill, a surgical table for a sawing-in-half machine, four whips, six hatchets, 22,000 sparklers, 300 baby dolls, 58 mannequins, 14 bubble machines, 28 gallons of bubble juice, 6,000 mirror parts and 250,000 packages of bubble bath. As Cooper said at the time, “the sicker you kids get, the greater shows we’ll have for you.”
