Michael Owen Bruce is an American rock musician, best known as a founding member and rhythm guitarist for the original Alice Cooper band. He was a key songwriter for the group, co-penning iconic hits such as "School's Out," "No More Mr. Nice Guy," and "I'm Eighteen." After the original band broke up in the mid-1970s, Bruce embarked on a solo career and formed his own group, Billion Dollar Babies. His contributions helped define the theatrical shock-rock genre and have left a lasting impact on rock and roll history.
