Prisoners of Rock and Roll

16 - No More Mr. Nice Guy: The History of Shock Rock


Listen Later

Shock rock combines rock and roll with theatrical live performances that include costumes, special effects, and provocative behavior that pulls from circus sideshows, science fiction, horror, and religion. In this episode, we look at famous shock rockers like KISS, Gwar, Alice Cooper, Marilyn Manson, and Rob Zombie, as well as a handful of other artists and their outrageous antics.
