Music Video of the Day: How You Gonna See Me Now? by Alice Cooper (1978, directed by Bruce Gowers)


How You Gonna See Me Now? is one of the songs to cite if anyone ever says that Alice Cooper was only capable of writing gimmicky songs.  This is one of Alice’s best ballads, asking his former companion how she is going to see him when he returns to her life.

Of course, the video features Alice in jail and getting what appears to be electroshock therapy, in between writing a letter home to his wife.  As with many of Alice Cooper’s videos, this video is memorable because of the contrast between the heartfelt and sincere lyrics and the macabre, sometimes bordering on campy imagery.

Director Bruce Gowers has also directed videos for Prince, Fleetwood Mac, Rush, Supertramp, and really just about anyone who was anybody in the 70s and 80s.

Enjoy!

One response to “Music Video of the Day: How You Gonna See Me Now? by Alice Cooper (1978, directed by Bruce Gowers)

  1. For those who don’t know, Alice Cooper wrote the theme song to the James Bond film “The Man With The Golden Gun” but it was rejected by the Producers! It was the film after “Live And Let Die” and they obviously went after another big rock star, but never used it – the song lives on the album “Muscle Of Love”…
