Claim to Fame: Lead guitarist with Alice Cooper in the 60's and 70's before
Vincent Furnier fired him and the rest of the band, and adopted the name
Alice Cooper as his own. A brilliant and one of the most influential guitarists
of the early 70's. After his great success he virtually disappeared from
the music scene. He apparently spent his last years working as a farmer.
