Rock Pioneer, 77, Stuns Fans with Awesome Cover of '70s Classic
One of the most important solo figures in rock music from the '70s is Alice Cooper. The rocker's horror inspired sound and aesthetic paved the way for metal music to begin to flourish, proving that horror had a space in the music world.
Being one of the most visually iconic musicians of the time, Cooper made a significant mark, with his performances becoming infamous.
Recently, a performance by Cooper has been getting a lot of attention, this time because of a particular song choice. In a super cool tribute to another '70s rock giant, Cooper covered "Another Brick In The Wall Part 2," one of Pink Floyd's biggest hits. Seeing as both acts are known for their crazy live shows, it's quite something to see Cooper taking a stab at a classic song like this. Check it out.
It's a super cool cover, and the "mashup we didn't know we needed" for sure. He brings his signature grit to the performance and really makes the song his own. Fans felt the same way, leaving lots of praise in the comments.
"I saw AC for the first time last fall and saw this mashup. Truthfully the best concert I've ever been to. PHENOMENAL PERFORMANCE!"
"Didn't know I need this 'til now!! 🙏🏻"
"Saw this live at my first concert ever! Lost my d--n mind this May!🔥"
"Seeing this performed live was absolutely an amazing experience."
It's always a delight when our favorite artists cover each other. Hopefully, we get to see more awesome covers from Alice Cooper in the future!🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬

'Zombies 4' star Sway Bhatia brought out her alter ego of a sassy vampire for hit Disney movie
Disney's popular Zombies franchise has continued with the success of Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires (streaming on Disney+), with stars including Milo Manheim, Meg Donnelly, Freya Skye, Malachi Barton and Chandler Kinney. But a notable cast member that joined Zombies 4 is the talented Sway Bhatia, who previously played Sophie Roy, daughter to Jeremy Strong's character Kendall, in Succession, in addition starring in The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers. Bhatia's Zombies 4 character Vera takes to the screen with force. She's sassy, unapologetically her vampire self, and that's something that really appealed to the actor. "I loved how strong-willed she was and how much being a vampire meant to her," Bhatia told Yahoo. "Especially as a young South Asian woman, I think it's so important to show strong female characters in films. So I'm really grateful that both me and Freya's characters were portrayed as that, even Meg and Chandler and Kylee [Russell] are such strong female characters, and I love how confident and independent they are." "I hope people can ... relate to everything that we go through and how we deal with our conflicts. But Vera was a lot of fun to play in that way. I've never played a vampire before, so that was very different for me, for sure, but she was a lot of fun. ... I got to bring out my inner, I guess my alter ego of like sassiness and confidence." Milo Manheim 'predicted' Sway Bhatia's future But being part of the Zombies franchise is a tall order. There's singing, dancing, and of course in Bhatia's case, the acting challenge of transforming into a vampire. "You have to fully use your imagination on how this vampire would be in real life," she said. "So I think it's a lot of fun bringing those characters to life." Bhatia also has a particularly fun moment when she gets to "fang out" with Willa (Chandler Kinney), which is particularly fun to watch. "Especially for me, being a fan of the franchise, that scene with Chandler was one of the coolest moments for me on set ever," she said. "Watching her in the second and third movie was so cool for me, getting to see a woman of colour on screen just be so powerful and such a strong werewolf." "So getting to watch her fang out in front of me and then having to fang out back to her was such a cool moment. And it looked really cool with the SFX added, because doing it without it definitely felt a little bit weird. But I had her there to comfort me." While Bhatia had been a fan of the Zombies films before Zombies 4, Manheim actually predicted her future when she went to the premiere for Prom Pact. When Bhatia met Manheim, he said he would see her in Zombies 4, before the film was even confirmed. Fast forward and the two actors did in fact star alongside each other in the movie. "That was insane. I still think about that all the time," Bhatia said. "I took it as a complete joke, ... and then a year or two later, when I found out I booked it, he texted me because the casting director gave him my number, and he was like, 'Is it true that I told you you were going to be in Zombies 4?' ... Yes Milo, you predicted my future." "So I've always kept an eye out for him, because he freaked me out ever since he did that, but I'm so grateful to have him in my life as a friend now." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Swayam Ranjeet Bhatia (Sway) (@sway_bhatia) Being mentored by 'Succession' cast Before Zombies 4, Bhatia had a number of impressive projects under her belt, with the actor specifically describing her time on Succession as an "unreal" experience. "It was nothing like anything that I've ever experienced as an actor," Bhatia said. "I think getting to work with such an incredibly talented cast and crew was such a blessing, and they had been mentors from the start." "A lot of them didn't have kids when the show started, so I was kind of their first kid before they all ended up having kids. ... Even if I wasn't on set so much, they were all so supportive and they all had a parental instinct with us, because there were only two kids on the entire show, and you know how intense the material is of the show. So they would always have to remind us after every take to never repeat what they're saying, because I was eight years old on the set and there were F-bombs flying everywhere." Specifically when it came to working with Jeremy Strong, who played her father on Succession, Strong had some words of caution for the young actors playing his children. "With Jeremy's method acting, every time we wrapped he would remind us to never do what he does, because he would smoke, drink, and then he would like drown in a pool," Bhatia said. "So he was like, 'Please don't ever repeat anything that Kendall does.'" While Succession was a huge hit, when Bhatia moved into The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, it was a particularly "special project" for her. "It was sort of my first time having a significant role in a project, and I feel like I grew a lot as an artist, not just as an actor, on that set," Bhatia said. "I learned a lot about what being on a set was really like in the terms of chemistry of actors and chemistry of crew, and what it was like being on set every day for intense hours, and how to play hockey and act at the same time." "But I loved getting to play my character, because I think she didn't fall into any sort of crazy stereotype. She sort of pushed the boundaries of what someone that looks like me can tell story-wise on a set. And I loved how strong willed she was, just like Vera in that sense, and it was just a great experience for me. I learned a lot from the writers and the producers and the directors." While Bhatia has had significant success on screen, she's also working to hone her skills behind the camera, including attending New York University (NYU). "I knew I wanted to do filmmaking and I knew that NYU was the number one film school in the country, and it had such a unique program," she shared."They really want to make you a wholesome filmmaker in the sense of learning every single part of a film set. And to me, that's so interesting. "You can ask literally every Disney employee that I've worked with, I'm the kind of person that wants to know what everyone is doing. ... I learned from so many incredible filmmakers, and I get to bring that knowledge with me to NYU." Bhatia shared that she has two movies in the works right now, taking on a producer role, and she's hoping to move into a project where she can be the director or writer in the future. "My goal is to just sort of grow as an artist and test my limits as an artist," she said. "I'm really excited to kind of just find my voice as an artist, and see how people can resonate with my work, and if people can enjoy the stories that I want to tell."

These epic $400,000 treehouses feel like works of art
Dustin Feider never expected to become a full-time treehouse designer. But for the last two decades, he's made a career out of building treehouses as a form of art. In one of his projects, a geometric pod shaped like a pinecone is suspended 50 feet above the ground inside a grove of giant redwood trees. Honey Sphere, Los Angeles [Photo: O2 Treehouse] In another project, tucked behind a house in Northern California, a 30-foot-high spiral staircase leads to a large wooden deck for dinner parties, with tunnels underneath for children to play. Across a rope bridge, a geodesic dome hangs in the air between another cluster of redwoods. In L.A., another spherical treehouse was exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and then installed in the backyard of Doors guitarist Robby Krieger. Cloud Ripple, Mill Valley [Photo: O2 Treehouse] These aren't typical treehouses—and some can cost as much as an actual house. Feider's company, O2 Treehouse, charges a minimum of $50,000 for a base custom model. But its average treehouse costs an eye-popping $400,000. Cloud Ripple, Mill Valley [Photo: O2 Treehouse] Feider started thinking about treehouses in a class project when he was studying furniture design at Minneapolis College of Art and Design. He took inspiration from Buckminster Fuller's famous geodesic domes. 'I was considering a form for a modern treehouse, with this idea that you could create something that was flat-packed and shippable,' he says. Subscribe to the Daily newsletter. Fast Company's trending stories delivered to you every day Privacy Policy | Fast Company Newsletters Blackbird, Seattle [Photo: O2 Treehouse] After graduating, he took a series of other design jobs, but simultaneously put together a website with his design. His first client wanted a geodesic treehouse mounted 50 feet up a poplar tree in Wisconsin. Initially, Fieder thought the treehouses would be the first in a series of different products that focused on sustainable design. But they quickly became so popular that he never stopped making them. Blackbird, Seattle [Photo: O2 Treehouse] After some early media coverage, he started working with a client in Beverly Hills, and then ended up building treehouses for others on the same block. The projects kept coming, and Fieder realized that he had a viable business. 'I thought, wow, this can work,' he says. O2 Treehouse now employs around 40 people, including woodworkers and metalworkers who build prefab parts in a shop in Northern California, designers, and three construction crews. Pinecone, Bonny Doon [Photo: O2 Treehouse] The process takes time. First, the team visits a new site and starts sketching and discussing early ideas with the client. They also carefully study the available trees—something that's made easier with iPhones, which now have LiDAR scanners that can map out a tree's exact form. The design and engineering process usually takes three months. Prefabricating the parts takes another three months, and installation typically takes three months as well. Some projects take longer; one treehouse completed in 2024 took a year and a half to finish. Pinecone, Bonny Doon [Photo: O2 Treehouse] The company has custom hardware that helps securely attach the treehouses to trees without restricting the trees' movement. The weight is enormous: the dangling 'pinecone,' for example, weighs 5.5 tons. But large trees can support the structures without harming the tree's health. 'The trees grow outward and basically seal around the hardware,' Fieder says. 'It's a natural process of healing that wound.' Honey Sphere, Los Angeles [Photo: O2 Treehouse] So far, the company has built more than 100 treehouses. Most are for recreation, though Fieder has envisioned more complex designs that could serve as homes. 'The idea being that when you buy a new property, you don't have to clear the trees to build your house,' he says. 'We actually plan the programming of your house around the trees are already on site, creating courtyards and an indoor-outdoor type of living space.' Blackbird, Seattle [Photo: O2 Treehouse] The company is now beginning to build treehouses where guests can stay through a franchise it calls Treewalkers, beginning with a glamping site near Atlanta. As people ascend into the tree canopy, looking through a treehouse's large windows at a new view of the woods, Fieder wants to help inspire them to take better care of the planet. 'I've been on this mission to reconnect people with nature through these architectural experiences in the woods,' he says. Treewalkers 'will allow us to release our works from private backyards and open it to the public.'
