HEY STOOPID is a studio album from heavy metal singer and shock rock-musician Alice Cooper. It was released on July 2, 1991 featuring many guest appearances from some of the day's top rockers - Slash (of Guns N' Roses), legendary Ozzy Osbourne, six-string wizards Vinnie Moore, Joe Satriani & Steve Vai, as well as Nikki Sixx and Mick Mars (both of Mötley Crüe) all lend a hand.
Coming off of his biggest commercial success in years, 1989's TRASH, Alice Cooper decided to follow the same accessible, radio-ready formula on HEY STOOPID. Producer Peter Collins smoothed out the edges of Alice's music for mass consumption. The album's opening title track is a rocker containing lyrics that deal with the dangers of hard drug use, and was a popular video on MTV's Saturday night heavy metal show, HEADBANGER'S BALL. Other highlights include "Love's a Loaded Gun," "Burning Our Bed," "Feed My Frankenstein," and "Die For You."
Recorded at Bearsville Studios, Bearsville, New York and The Complex, Los Angeles, California.
