Ok please ignore the video (it was the best I could find) and concentrate on the music. This is is where hard rock meets prog rock via a healthy dose of showmanship. I love Alice Cooper because he is so over the top and doesnt take himself too seriously. There are a lot of his tracks that I love including School's Out, Elected & Poison but this is my favourite.
Great classic song, one of their best :-),
Alice (Vincent) said this song was only popular in Holland and he thought it was because of the fact a lot of people smoked joints in that time / era.
"
"Halo of Flies" is a 1973 single by rock band Alice Cooper taken from their 1971 album Killer. The single was only released in the Netherlands. The song was, according to Cooper's liner notes in the compilation The Definitive Alice Cooper, an attempt by the band to prove that they could perform King Crimson-like progressive rock suites, and was supposedly about a spy organisation."
