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!
